I think it is so sad they people are judged more for their looks than they are for the person that they are. Weight can't be lost , but a cold nasty heart will never change. Shallowness is getting out of hand in todays society. Could that be why so many people are whining and moaning about being lonely? Yes very pathetic these days. |

I not sure why some of the ladies jumped all over CrystalFairy. I am sure she did not mean any disrespect, she is generally very fair minded. To me, because I am a newer member than most, this subject is not old so I do not mind chatting about it. I have not viewed most of the older topics. I think most on here are correct when they say it is according to what each person considers average. Lets change from body type to shoe size. I wear a size 8 shoe. Now to me that is an average size but when I was in Hawaii my shoe size was considered big. Well of course nothing about me was "average" there. Quite a few locals are of Asian persuasion so course their shoes size is smaller. There I was truly a minority. Color of my skin and of course my body type. When I ventured to where there is more of a American Somoan population on the island, then I would be considered small. I don't get why anyone would just browse through random profiles and then judge their own proclamations. That doesn't make sense. Especially because photos never really portray the person correctly. |

In general: The one that answered what I was curious about, is Lionsbrew. I didn't know there were different BMI indices for different areas. And I was wondering about that as in some areas/countries ppl are simply bigger than in others. So logic would dictate "average" can have a different meaning. As for judgement, read the thread again. It's full of it ... |

One also should take into consideration the average B.M.I(Body Mass Index for a given area. Here In "Murica" our B.M.I is considered to be overweight compared to most other countries. However that is the "average" here in the states. So if everyone is a little over weight the average would be overweight. Truth will always be in the eye of the beholder anyway though so continue debating. Exactly! Well said.
It also varies by age, gender, and race as well as region. Genetics is a major factor so to judge all people by one set standard seems pointless. We come in all different shapes and sizes and we all have worth. It's okay to have preferences but we shouldn't pass judgement on those who don't fit that mold. Thanks for a voice of reason in the madness.

What's the point of lying about it when pictures clearly show you're not average? Maybe they should change "heavyset" to "a whole lot of woman", so it has a nicer ring to it?" |

Why worry so much about a single word used to describe a body type when pictures work much better? |

I think it doesn't matter what you put down for body type because different people look at you different ways. I remember a pair of tourists who came to a lounge I was working at,the mans wife was very large when she went to the restroom her husband told me when I look at my wife I see a movie star. I'll never forget the look of total love that man had for his wife,I was so envious. For myself I'm looking to find someone to have a human connection not order a women like I'm ordering a car with the design and options I'm looking for.

I think it is so sad they people are judged more for their looks than they are for the person that they are. Weight can't be lost , but a cold nasty heart will never change. Shallowness is getting out of hand in todays society. Could that be why so many people are whining and moaning about being lonely? I couldn't agree more Betty. These men that were overweight that I mentioned in my previous post on this thread; I didn't walk away from them despite that they were overweight and went out with them. I didn't care that they were overweight; I just liked them for who they were. Fact is many people won't get a second look based on looks because our society is so shallow. It is sad but this unfortunately is how people think and yes they will probably stay alone. Good post by the way.

Thank you HB , I personally would not even want to be with a man than judges me on my looks alone. I was married for 30 years and when my weight went up and down my husband never noticed. He loved me for me. Now I would not settle for anything less. Wise words! Wish more people thought like you. The world would be a better place.
Thank you.

As for judgement, read the thread again. It's full of it ... Maybe that's because it started off that way Crystal... Right, so that's why you make it into a tit for tat game now? How mature ... If you feel it's that wrong, why be judgmental yourself? Practice what you preach or don't preach at all. |

As someone else already pointed out, what is "average" in one place may not be the "average" of another place.

I think preaching is your thing, not mine....I don't happen to agree with your OP.....You started this thread by judging other women and I called it like I saw it...It's not a contest, get over yourself....

CrystalFairy, I agree that some do indeed lie right out about body image but one thing to consider is that they may indeed think they are average without actually lying. Just an example; an average size here where I live is considered between size 12 and size 14. So, a woman might think if I can wear these sizes then she must be average even though she may indeed be overweight. In a country like China; the average size might be a 6 to 8; so by China's standard; a size 12 is very overweight. What is considered standard is going to vary from country to country.
