in the category for body type????/ ( Archived) (36)

Hi; I have a slight problem with the wording of some of the questions on the profile. when I put mine on site, I got to the part about body type and put " a few extra pounds" meaning just that, I am about 40lbs. over the weight for my heighth and bone structure, and I am working on it...but when I read some of the ads for guys wanting to meet women, we get along real good till the body type thingy, and some put "average" is what they are looking for....you see, I think I am average, but then someone else might not...hmmmmmm, but then again, when I see certain criteria for body types, I just skip on by, cause what is important to me, is the character of the person and then go from there. But that is my opinion. So I wanted to know what is "average". ???? :) have a nice day.

Well i'm full figured so i have no idea what average is. lol I do have a bone to pick also about this so called "average" body type. I've seen guys profile pictures where they are definately over weight or have a big beer belly and yet they put down average on their body weight. What gives with that??!! Here's another one. When they put what they are looking for in a womans figure they put down everything under the sun, including disabled,but not full figured or few extra lbs. Now that i find funny and yet annoying too. I guess u can't get mad at ignorance.

Lturner, you must be a very nice lady. Average doesn't have a definition here. I bet if you ask this website people will say anybody who's not athletic may pick average. Last, this stuff is relative to this society!

Thank you, I did like getting the input and I guess instead of just passing by the ones that want "average" I will give them the benefit of a doubt that they understand "average" and will send them a flower, a little one, and smile.....bye for now, LTurner...thank you for the compliment, I'm a tomboy, reckon we can be nice too. :)

I only know that some of the profiles I've seen have people that aren't being honest with themselves. Sorry if I offend anyone but just be honest.

Oh, BURN!

Where's your pic, profiler, lol.

I do not judge anyones body type...

I didn't mean it in that sense. I don't judge on the body type but when someone's profile says average and they are more proportionate isn't that like lying. It is to me.

Isn't the average American X number of pounds overweight?

Only saying American because I haven't seen statistics for other countries, though I'm sure they are similar.

average...means not over- weight. Thats the way I read it. I think that people put way too much emphesis on the weight issue, but everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes. I would like it if someone would just like me, for ...well, me. He's out there and I am going to find him.

I also put a few extra pounds, why? because I am not my idea weight, not far from it, but if I didnt put that, then It would be considered that I lied.

people are too picky.
