Ladies of LS: what do these measurements mean?

The measurements of Ginger on Gilligan's Island.

Maybe she's got the 'girl next door' qualities of Mary Ann! Now that would be HOT!

Women lose interest if a man doesn't seal that first date within a certain amount of time. Good luck!

 

Working on a "date" already, and I am excited.

[candie13]

listen, there's something about her measures that doesn't really seem right.

 

Can't really see how a woman with 37-26-37 can be US size 8 or 10. I've checked the Nike site, have a look at it, yourself:

 

Women's Standard Tops Size Chart

 

To me, a woman with those measures is a size 6.

 

But then there's the D cup.... Female intuition: just to be sure, before buying that flight ticket, I'd have a 15 min chat, over a cup of coffee with her, over skype. It's not about her lying over one or two inches more or less, it's about making sure she's legit.

 

You'd feel horrible if you flew there and were disappointed. Better safe than sorry.

 

If you like her over skype, just forget about sizes and inches. I know, it's a bit like taking a peak at the Christmas gift, without all the paper nicely wrapped and all the surprise magic around it... but you're doing all the traveling, not her.

 

You seem like a nice man, you don't deserve to be let down.

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 would have told her to forget about her measurements and tell me about the numbers on her W2..

 

TFY

Thanks

 

Your Christmas analogy is spot on. And she volunteered to come to my town. I said no, I think I should go to her, as a gentlemen, feels more chivalry and what I want to do.

 

Thinking on the Skype thing. I used Skype at previous employeers, we use Lync at my current employer, and folks never look the way they do in person on Skype or Lync. I would hate to pass the wrong judgement because of that.

I am confused. You've seen pics of her from the waist up. You are very attracted to her, both physically and her personality.

 

So you are telling me if you meet her in person and her legs are slightly thicker than you would like, that it would be a dealbreaker? Or if her butt had a little bit of flab on it?

 

I get needing to be physically attracted to someone, but when you are getting down to that level of detail, you are just causing problems for yourself. Because even someone with a perfect body will eventually have loose skin and less muscle tone. So if being a specific size/shape is very important to you, you need to word on expanding your definition of attractive if you want a LDR.

[ComingInHot]

I know!!!!

Why don't you post your picture here then her picture here together and let us give you our Awesome and oh SO Reliable Input/advice!

[FitChick]

She probably gave you so much info because so many women post old photos. I recently added a pic to my profile of me holding the current issue of a magazine. That's what it's come to these days!

 

If the photos are current and you like her, there is no problem.

 

Men have no clue when it comes to weight, sizes or measurements.

My pictures are posted here in my Album. I would put one of her there, that's pretty cheesy though

 

pteromom, good point, and well said. And no, I am not that picky. My ex wife actually had bigger, thicker legs and it was never an issue for me. My ex gf had some "cotttage cheese" on her butt; never an issue, she had an awesome butt. She was actually the biggest (more height than anything else) woman I have ever dated/been with. I could actually fit into her jeans and she would wear my boxers to bed.

 

I think that "being burned" 2 times in a row, 2 for 2, if you will,already, this soon with OLD again, coupled with the distance, it's what's on my mind more than anything. When I look at this womans photos, I WANT her as in I am very attracted to her. She has sent me two photos with no make up, she did not tell me that, I could tell, and my guess is she did it on purpose, and I am still attracted to her.

Great idea! I kind of did the same with mine, posted a pic from an Orioles game with the date.

Hey, Babolat

 

I'm a great believer in magic too . Just... be really really careful, it's your heart you're playing with.

 

take care

One reason I refuse to get it. People always look worse on any of those webcams. You'd think someone would invent a more flattering one because they'd make a fortune.

[candie13]

screw that, I look bloody hot on Skype, my lil' sister and her dog keep telling me that !!

[MidwestUSA]

I only see a bunny in your albums. Don't worry, most women like cute bunnies. Make sure that's a blueberry pancake!

[Eternal Sunshine]

In general the tone of ALL your posts is about the physical. Be it ex gf or new prospects. If a guy is overly superficial it's a turn off, even if a woman meets his standards.

 

You have seen many pictures of this women. You have her size and measurements and you are still obsessing if she will be up to your physical standards. Just makes women feel like a piece of meat.

I don't even think I know all my measurements aside from my cup size. Most guys don't give a damn; they appreciate a woman's body as it is. I think it's ridiculous to even focus on measurements since all women are different. There is no arbitrary standard of beauty in my opinion. Honestly, I only care if a guy likes me with my clothes off; if he's satisfied then I am too.

The tone of ALL of my posts is, physical. ALL, really? Yeah, my ex gf was a hawty, very much so. That's ALL of my posts on here? And I was the dumper..that is superficial? The tone of those posts was how to make it work...not about her looks.

 

I understand your comment, I do. I don't feel that way though. I do not feel superficial. I can see how that comes across though.

 

The tone of this post seems to have came across as "I will not meet her if she is not physically perfect for me...". Not the case, I am going to meet her, we started those talks earlier this week. I was simply curious about measurements, what it meant, etc.

 

And should I not have physical standards, at least to some degree? Don't we all? I would not call them standards, more preferences, attraction. I think you are suggesting mine are more extreme, maybe more selective than others? No problem for me with that; I am the one who has to spend the rest of my life with this person. And I don't view this as any different than other "red flags" or compatability concerns.

 

The 2nd girl I met on OLD, who did not look like her photos, texted me today to say she enjoyed meeting me, would like to meet up again. I plan to meet her, to see if there is something there as I did like her as a person and there was a level of attraction. Worst case I make a new friend.

Agreed, 100%. I am NOT suggesting with this thread that measurments are a priorty for me, sizes are a priority for me. The only reason I even knew my ex wifes sizes is because she told me for gift buying. The only reason I knew my ex gfs bra size is becasue she told me about her implants, I never asked. The current woman I am hanging out with, I am clueless, no idea what her sizes or measurments are, don't care. I just love her body.

 

The subject of this thread has volunteered everything to me; I have not asked nor have I responded when she volunteered. I get the impression she might have been heavier at some point in her life, works out 5+ days a week now and is very proud of her body, her health and her fitness.

When I first mentioned how folks post older photos, the next day, I noticed she updated her profile and put dates on all of her photos (the captions). She even added 2 new ones from that day. She later told me she did that based on my comment, and I thought that was very cool of her to do.

[Babolat]

I want to clarify my original comment, when I said "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".

 

Everything to date has been positive with her, personality, charm, wit, sense of humor, intelligent, all sexy attractive qualities, and the photos/pics have added to that attraction.

 

She thru me off with the size 8 - 10 comment, as I did, in my head, compare that to my ex wife, whose size is the only one I have ever known. She is/was 5'2", size 4 - 6 (never knew her weight, she would not share) when we seperated, and she was showing her weight. Like I said earlier, had I met her then, I probably would not have been as physically attracted to her as I was when we got married. She was my wife at the time though and I accepted her looks and did not judge her or wish she looked any different. She gained weight, she did not care, it was what it was.

 

In my head I was trying to compare a size 6 to a size 8-10, and I can't, I am not a woman, I don't understand these #'s. I was simply trying to get a better feel in my head of what her body shape was like.

 

Cup sizes have no value or meaning to me either. My ex wife was an A cup and I loved her breasts. The first girl I dated after her was completely flat chested. I could care less. My last gf was a DD/F cup, and I loved them too, even though they were not hers . Cup size from, what I know, does know determine shape. I always talk about the total "package"; so I am trying, in my head, to understand what a size 8 - 10 package looks like, that's it.

 

I still want to meet this woman, I am not changing that because of the size 8 - 10 comment. I was just curious what that really meant.

[ComingInHot]

have you Not ever watched Gilligan's Island?!

Are you really so obsessed by the minutiae of a woman's figure? Why don't you ask her for a full-length body photo so that she can decide whether to bother sending you one or not? Personally, I never would, because I know what kind of guy would be on the other end - someone who is more obsessed with nit-picking the perfect girl, not my type at all.
