I don't really pay attention to the body type field in profiles. I prefer pictures, as that allows me to see what someone looks like.

I would think between 2 and 5 would be a few extra pounds.

i'm sorry... but if i was like 2-5 pounds over, i would just mark average... i think if someone goes out of their way to mention they have a few extra pounds, then its a noticeable amount

If that was the case, then how many people would be changing their profiles every time they ate dinner or took a chit?

it's a ridiculously ambiguous category

mostly it's used by people who are afraid to admit to themselves that they're fat. it somehow feels better to them when they lie to themselves about how large they really are.

if they realize that they can't pull off "a few extra pounds", they usually don't answer the question at all.


there are a few people out there who really are "a few extra pounds", but not as many as those claiming that they're "a few extra pounds".

waving Usually a few extra pounds are anywhere from 5-10lbs. That's what the majority of women think as a "few extra". Sure looks are important to a degree and sure it would be nice if we were all "Barbie dolls" or "Ken's", but isn't it's what is inside the person that counts, their feelings, their thoughts, compatibility with the opposite sex!!!


so if i told you how hot you are, you wouldn't believe me?

BTW, welcome to mingle

I'm more than a few extra pounds. Do you think I'm hot? blushing

beauty is more than just looks and weight, beauty is thought patterns, they way women present themselves, the way they talk to other people. and i have never seen any ugliness in you...so yes, your a hottie!

Slim means, i have no ****
Athletic means slightly musclar, and i have no ****
Average means a few extra pounds, and if your lucky I have a fair set of ****.
A few extra pounds means, clinically obese with massive hangers
Obese means, my mother is a feeder and my **** splay under my armpits

This is kind of true but I mean I don't want an 180 pound woman even if she is all muscle lol XD. But I will admit depending on height and bf % 20 pound difference in 2 women can be nothing and the heavier one could look better.

Back to the original question. I think if it wasn't a dating site "a few extra pounds" would be vanity pounds. Somewhere between 5-15. Though I have seen people put "average" when they were above "a few extra pounds".

Why lie? People can see you are lying by the picture. Lying on the profile is definitely a bad start. The only thing I think it would do is give you expose to the guys that limit weight in advanced search, but then it kind of ruins advanced search because there are all these people lying in their profiles. If you don't fit someones requirements lying about it isn't gonna make them change their mind when they can see a pic. Just waste their time.

Wouldn't you want someone that takes you for you anyway?
