pickflicker Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I am not talking about lifting a woman that is below 150 soaking wet here, and there is only so much dead weight you can carry........ For some weird reason, I always seem to attract the really heavy ones. I appreciate that and all, but I have to work hard everyday to maintain my physique as well as watch what I eat...calorie count with no junk food.....some of these people should be doing the same. It's not fair Maintaining your physique is your choice. What those people are attracted to their choice. It's hardly "unfair". You're blessed with the opportunity and the means to live life that you choose. The majority of the world's inhabitants, are not. Food for thought. 3
GoreSP Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 you probably do and don't even realize it. it's so bizarre that women are looking at magazines and such that show thin, fit bodies and yet when you see the types of women men gravitate towards it's usually the fuller, healthier-looking women. I'm just stick straight like a pole and bf's have often told me I could use more fat, etc. I came to the conclusion long ago that despite what media may show us, my body type is actually not the preferred one and your 'thicker' one is. you won't have a problem finding someone. THIS! Also - it's insane the number of men of love big boobs (surprised? I'm not…) and big butts. But we've been telling them for years to not tell a girl 'hey, nice boobs/butt'! so don't be surprised if most men who find you attractive just keep walking…
GoreSP Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I actually think there's a good chance this girl would fall into the overweight category on a standard BMI chart, just based on the photo. You can see how they photoshopped her face to make it look thinner from the original photo. Her boobs look a little photoshopped to me also. I'd put her at about a size 12-14. The other girl you posted looks more average sized to me. You can be curvy and skinny, curvy and average, or curvy and fat. Curvy is a body shape and has nothing to do with the amount of fat on your body. I agree with you that this girl is definitely curvy. The hip/waist ratio looks a little exaggerated too….

It's not fair In my experience the really bigger girls are the most aggressive. Last year I had 3 or 4 really giving me a lot of attention. I just tried to be nice and keep my distance. My cut off is them weighing as much as I do.
janedoe67 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 It would be interesting to know the median age of the commenters on this thread. That is not a dig. It's just that it has been my observation that as people get younger, they tend to be more...um....fixated on the unrealistic side of thin. For example, the likely photoshopped gal who was "probably overweight on a BMI chart?" No WAY would someone in my generation have categorized her as "overweight." I wore a size 6 (with the waist taken in) when I graduated from college. At 47 I no longer wear that size, but I have to say I like my body and my SELF a lot more than the 22 year-old version....mainly for the, um, intellectual and depth compensations I have attained over the last 25 years
ThatMan Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) It would be interesting to know the median age of the commenters on this thread. That is not a dig. It's just that it has been my observation that as people get younger, they tend to be more...um....fixated on the unrealistic side of thin. I know exactly what you mean. I imagine that most men actually grow up after highschool and put unrealistic photoshop images on the curb. Most men have genuine experience with real women early in their independent lives. Few adults rely on fantasy instead of a relationship. I find that I'm appreciating larger women less and less as I age. I was involved with an early twenty-something curvy woman who was exceptionally beautiful. Probably best described as a Mai Tyler. Although impossible to tell by looking at her she had high cholesterol beginning as a late teenager and she also took medications that cause hyperglycemia. She'll be dead within two decades tops. Maybe she'll have a foot amputated from diabetes in several years because she's too lazy to exercise in the face of mortality. As I age I begin to look for mutual respect. Plus-sized women do not respect themselves so how can they respect me? Edited March 16, 2014 by ThatMan phone 1

Plus-sized women do not respect themselves so how can they respect me? See, this makes sense to me. If I were dating, I would hesitate to be with someone who was very overweight or obese for reasons more like the above. Someone my age who is also very overweight is just a health hazard waiting to happen. I was always skinny without thinking about it UNTIL my very late thirties, when some health issues temporarily took over. I wouldn't have wanted to date me then - I was big and unhappy and unhealthy and lethargic. I'm not a size 6 anymore, but I'm healthy and happy and confident. Those to me are the big considerations - and without any of those three in place, I think someone is not really in a position to date. I know I wouldn't want to be with someone qwho was unhappy, unhealthy, and extremely insecure.
GoreSP Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for that mental image...... As mentioned previously by me..."big women" are too much work (been there with a couple. I like a woman I can lift off the ground and pin to a wall, chase around the house and lift up the stairs or play hide and seek with I have promised myself that any future lady Tayken, will have to be slender and curvy with a slight bubble butt....I like to see something at the back poking out more than mine (I have a tight ***) If a woman says I want a man who can lift me off the floor, men complain we are too picky. yaydoublestandards!

I posted her picture to show that it was my IDEAL body type for a woman Take that as you will.
somedude81 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 She's gorgeous. My boobs aren't as big as hers, but from the boobs down, that's about my own shape. I'm slightly longer in the torso though, I'd hazard that I'm a couple of inches taller than her. I think you're more than a few inches taller than her. She'll actually perfectly fit in my busty short girl thread. Whitney Michelle Height: 5' 1" Weight: 140 lbs Bust: 36" Waist: 29" Hips: 42" Cup: DD Dress: 10 Picture Hot! Sadly the tattoos and piercings don't do anything for me, but that's for a different thread.

For example, the likely photoshopped gal who was "probably overweight on a BMI chart?" No WAY would someone in my generation have categorized her as "overweight." I said that, and I'm pretty close to your generation. I'm 39, actually. I disagree with your observations. I think it is far more socially acceptable to be overweight now than it ever was when I was in high school or college. Younger people seem more accepting of it because so many more people are overweight now. There has been a huge fat acceptance / "this is what a real woman looks like" movement over the past ten or so years that -- IMO -- has vastly changed what most people view as an average build. (Being normal weight on a BMI chart is hardly expecting someone to be on the "unrealistic side of thin.") I actually find it shocking and sad how many younger women I see on a daily basis who are overweight. It just wasn't like that when I was growing up. I don't know what that woman's height/weight is, but by looking at her, I am 99% positive she would be overweight on a BMI chart. I don't see how that is being "hard" on her. It's stating a fact. She's probably well aware that she's overweight, but obviously she doesn't care since she's posting sexy, Photoshopped pictures of herself on the Internet. The last woman that somedude posted who is 5'1" and 140 lbs is also overweight on a BMI chart. Again, it's a fact.
hasaquestion Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I can't speak for anyone else. But as a male, I'd best identify with someone who puts a comparable amount of effort into their physique and fitness to me.
man_in_the_box Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Sounds like you need to work on your deadlifts. Or role reversal - let her handle you!

I guess my problem is that though I do want a healthy partner, I wouldn't pick a partner based on BMI score
