Ladies of LS: what do these measurements mean?

[Babolat]

Not sure where to post this.

 

I have never been one to ask for sizes, weight or shapes. So, I really don't know what it all means.

 

I have met a woman on OLD, all texting and phone calls to date. I like her. We have exchanged additional photos and I am very attracted to her. All of her waist down photos are in black though so it's difficult to get a feel for what she really looks like. Wasit up, OMG, and she is gorgeous.

 

She volunteered all of this, I did not ask: Hispanic, she is 5'5", 36-27-36, D cup, wears a size 8-10 she says, depending on the cut, and works out every day (I have seen her stomach, arms, shoulders, very nice, she is very tone). She sent me a pic of her back to show me a tatoo, to make sure I was ok with tatoos, and her back is very muscular, quite sexy. She describes herself as curvy.

 

This would be a LDR, lots of travel. So, before we both invest more time in this I want to undertstand her "look", but I really can't. I am attracted to all types. Last gf was 5'10" 140 lbs, 36DD, no idea about the rest. FWB is about 5'5", looks very thin, tiny waist, bigger hips, which I love, flat chested, no idea what her measurements are. Ex wife was petiite, 5'2", A cup, 130lb,s maybe (she never shared her weight), size 4 I think, when we seperated (she was showing some extra weight then).

 

I really like this woman and I am very attracted to her photos, but, I just don't know. Pics are pics, camera shots can be changed. I am not looking for a super model, but I do need to be physically attracted to her.

 

 

She is actually a little more tone than I am use to. I don't like a hard ripped look, rather a softer look. She is not hard or riped, nicely toned.

 

So, what's this look "on paper" "like"?

 

 

Thanks

Sounds very sus that she is just volunteering that info... sounds like a scam.

Well.... there ya go.....

 

That is all that matters, the rest doesn't

It's impossible to tell, as everybody's weight is distributed in different ways! I'm a chick and I don't even know what that would look like on paper. For example I'm 5ft 9 and 143lbs which might sound a lot but my stomach is as flat as a pancake, I'm slim etc. I see girls of my height saying they weigh 130lbs and I just can't imagine that looking anything other than skeletal, but then they don't seem to look too different to me!

My ex gf was 5'10", volunteered she weighed 140lbs +, and I thought she looked thin, and I was very attracted to her.

 

Ex Wife was 5'2", 115lbs when we married, size 2, 130lbs when we seperated, size 6, and she showed the weight on her small frame, though she was not fat and still had an OK body. Kind of relative too as I was, in general, no longer attracted to her. Had I met her then, at the end, physically I would not have been attracted to her body.

 

I guess I don't know what "curvey" means. From her pics (one before going for a run with a belly showing tank top on) she looks incredible. Flat stomach, great hips, incredible arms and shoulders (tone).

 

And no, it's not a scam. I have talked to her on the phone, many texts, she offerred her last name yesterday (I did not ask), she checks out on Google She use to live in my area a few years ago, and she knows a lot of my hang outs and spots.

 

I have met 2 OLD woman over 4+ weeks, neither matched their OLD profile photos, which is disappointing, I still have no idea why people do this (use dated photos). The current woman (subject of this thread) has sent me pics taking that day, morning or night, and I can tell they are current. I have done the same for her. I am probably thinking about these two experiences and analyzing this too much. It's a loooong drive to meet her (I may just fly), and it would be a LDR, so I am just trying to get a better comfrot level with the attraction.

I think different. Like me, I think she realizes the distance makes this one more of a challenge and she is just being honest and open.

 

The 8-10 size comment came about when she was telling me a friend of hers went from a size 16 to a size 2, I said a "2 is tiny, right?". And she replied, yes, then commented on her size.

 

I have gotten pretty good at weeding out the ones that are not for me. So far, this one has kept my attention, big time!

[MidwestUSA]

Wow, that's sure a lot of numbers! No offense, but you seem obsessive about measurements.

 

So, how many miles away is she? That number seems equally important. Why not meet her if you've already talked? You're at the point where you need to get the first meet out of the way, before you build things up in your head and set yourself up for disappointment. How manageable is the distance?

[Phoe]

sounds like she's in shape with a nice gentle curve to her.

[Eternal Sunshine]

sounds like you are way too focused on physical OP.

[mammasita]

Well, a size 10 might be considered BIG to some men - and you think your ex wife at a size 6 was not all that attractive - Hmmmm, I dunno.

 

She is hispanic though and the size might be all in her coolito . Her measurements make her VERY curvy with a big a55 and boobs IMO

[candie13]

a girl who is 37-27-36 would be swimming in a size 10 - assuming size 10 in the UK is size ten in the USA.

 

The only thing that seems a bit fishy to me is the D cup size. Usually, women with D cup measure more around the waist. But... that would fit the theory that she's anywhere between size 8 and size 10.

 

If you ask me, as long as she is not size 14 or 16, you're good to go.

 

I guess you need a gentle push to make that extra long road, isn't it? Think hard before you jump on it. I've done it once, it was great, but it ended. Not sustainable. Anyway, your call. She sounds almost legit .

[Babolat]

Physical attraction is important to me, yes. And I have no issues with that. And I am physically attracted to her, in photos. I am also very attracted to her personality.

 

I have not done OLD for 2+ years, trying it again, met 2 woman already, and I was hesitant to, and guess what? They mislead themselves with their photos. Why? Why do this? Why post photos from 5+ years ago, even 10+ years ago. Why mislead? So yeah, I think there is good reason for me to post this question, given that this woman is over 3 hours away.

 

Regarding measurements, I did not ask, she volunteered. She did not have a head to toe photo, so I asked for one. I do on my profile. When she sent a few she included her measurements. I do not really understand measurements (dress sizes, chest/waist/hip), thus my post. In fact, she is the first woman ever who has shared her measurments with me.

Im disappointed you don't know this

 

US 8 = UK 10

US 10 = UK 12

I dunno, if she'd be VERY curvy, but the waist to hip ratio would at least be noticeable.

 

 

I'm a 36-26-40 and I'm not curvy at all.

 

 

The OP did mention she seemed toned, her curves probably come from muscle

She volunteered she had breast augmentation, thus the D cup. She said she wanted her chest to more proportionate with her hips. Again, I did not ask, she volunteered this and claims only her ex husband and best friend know she had them done. My guess is she was checking, doing a temp check,. to see if I was OK with this.

I love a small waist with nice, wider hips..I find that very sexy. I just don't know what is what as I have never measured or asked a woman her measurements before.

[MidwestUSA]

My final suggestion was to just go ahead with that first meet as it seems like you've done all the preliminaries and there is mutual interest. Women lose interest if a man doesn't seal that first date within a certain amount of time. Good luck!

 

 

(yes, she sounds like she is in really good shape. We've all been burned by the old/fake photos. Don't let it jade you)

I don't do OLD, but if I did, I think I'd make them pass blood test sample before meeting me, hahaha!

 

Why aren't you more selective: narrow your area of interest to one hour drive from you. Simple. I mean, really, even if that woman were... Heidi Klum, would you be able to have a relationship with her if she lived a flight distance away? You're not a teenager anymore, to meet up twice a month at best.

 

Really... I see the morning and evening pictures here - also I do find you that a bit twisted, lol - but I understand why. IMO, it's not her body shape or your attraction to her, the issue - also, as a man, I sort of "understand" your priorities .

 

I am sure she is attractive and I see why you feel the need to be certain. Your issue is the sustainability of that relationship - namely managing the distance. Think with the right head before jumping in !

[candie13]

Im disappointed you don't know this

 

US 8 = UK 10

US 10 = UK 12

 

Oh oh, she lied then! You cannot be US size 8 or 10 and be a 36 at waist - assuming 36 is 91,5 cm, haha!

 

91 cm is US size 6. For SURE.

 

So she's curvy alright .

And I am going to meet her, I want to, she makes me laugh a lot, she is witty, funny, super intelligent, writes very well (which I find sexy), we share a lot in common, and I look forward to seeing her name pop up on my phone from a text.

Just saw this. I completely understand why she would be upfront (no pun) about it. I ran across more than one guy who was vehemently opposed to my having 'bought boobs'. My reasons were the same as hers. Kudos for her honesty.

She said her waist is 27, not 36.

 

And I agree with your previous post; it's probably the distance that is causing more caution for me than anything else.

[Mascara]

I don't know, why don't you just meet up with her (yes I saw the long distance thing) or Skype or something?

I agree. She has been very honest and upfront with me. I was surprsied when she sent me the photo of a tatoo of the sun on her neck; she was pulling up her hair to sho wme. I thought that was pretty cool of her to do. She said she alwasy wanted to get one of the sun, she was done, no more tatoos.

 

She has never asked if I am "OK" with something, rather she puts it out there and is probably waiting for me to reply.

[Babolat]

I do plan to meet her and the anticipation is driving me crazy!

 

Skype seems weird to me prior to meeting, I get it, understand your suggestion, just feels weird. Maybe if we meet, hit it off, Skype in between seeing each other....
