Weight Standars on dating sites !!!
So it seems to me that everybody has a misunderstanding of what a weight standar is. first you look around your typical everyday scene and compare yourself to the rest of the people around you. Let's say that you are in a room full of girls and all of them are about 130lbs in weight and you are 150lbs in weight, that does not mean that you are average it means you are heavier than most or over weight. The only problem is that if you are in a room full of women that are 200lbs in weight and then of course you are under weight. In any case i would have to say that if you are 5'5" and you weight 130lbs then you would be consider average....SO PLEASE DO THE MATH GIRLS !!!! if you are 5'0" and you weight 150lbs you are not average in this world...hahahaI'm just saying.....

I successfully failed doing the math.. lucky me I found that one:
I got labeled "desirable" which could be anywhere between skinny and average
How dare you set the standards by which a woman judges herself or how others judge women! Get some of that meat out of your head and try to replace it with some brains and a little decency.
but it is down to each individual, i would never not date anyone cos they were over weight, my last boyfriend was 6ft tall and weighed 252 Ib , it was what he was like on the inside and not what he looked like on the outside or how much he weighed
the definition of it is as follows..
A statistic used as a measure of the dispersion or variation in a distribution, equal to the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the deviations from the arithmetic mean.
Now the fashion world is trying to have us conform to a certain standard..stick standard ..so their clothes can hang strait..
the medical world is trying to conform us to a certain standard
for so called health reasons..
some overweight ppl are healthier than the so called norm..
there is just one standard I conform to..my own..if someone does not like my weight..no one is forcing them too..
average is what one percives it to be..
height and weight standads change all the time because ppl of the next generation are usually taler than the one before..plus the type of work and the availability of food play a large factor..
the height and weight average of our parents or great parents is different from ours..so average is just a meaningless word when it refers to weight..JMO
Take another look at my comment, . . .
Half of my comment was spoken to Merlin, . . .
only the last line was spoken to you, . . . .
I meant 112 is very, very impressive, . . and I really tried to make a compliment to you, . . . . . ouch, . . .
Skinny = slim
Slim = slim
Average = on the large side
A few extra pounds = fat
Overweight = whale sized and knows its not attractive
Voluptuous = whale sized but thinks its attractive
i have to agree with blueeyes on this one, its men like you who assume women are a little on the large side by what they write or like other men who put great big expectations on women to be slim
i was a big girl as a child and it was on meeting my now ex husband at the age of 17 who told me i had to loose my extra tyre which i did do to please him, after 12 years he then left me for a woman who is huge, his problem was he said i got too much attention of men by being slim and he never liked, he had insecurities, i suppose he thinks being with a bigger women he feels safe that noone else will be interested in her which is sooo wrong
women have so much pressure on them to stay slim thats its just not right, i must admit me myself hates being over a certain weight now but thats how i feel but if someone else is happier with their size then why shouldn't they be the size they want without everyone critising them
size - ist
Nice people, come in all shapes & sizes
