<p>My “ideal” is then 107.5 (I’m 5’2)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure this entire conversation is utterly ridiculous haha. All we need to do is stop comparing ourselves to other people and refrain from condemning people for the behaviors they exhibit. Then life really will go on much more smoothly.</p>
<p>usually when a girl describes herself as chubby, she’s usually fat. :|</p>
<p>not saying you are, but I remember this girl in high school who was pretty fat and one time her friends were talking about throwing a lingerie party and she’s like, “guys…you know this sound doesn’t like too much fun for chubby people”. I just lmao’d.</p>
<p>wait so let say a guy who is 5’5 and 125LB. Is that fat?</p>
<p>i had a friend in high school who was pretty overweight, and she’d always say things like, “let’s go eat lunch…i’m a fat kid; i’m hungry.”</p>
<p>she’d constantly refer to herself as a “fat kid” and make everyone super uncomfortable. we didn’t know if she was fishing for someone to be like, “no, you’re not fat!” or what, so usually we’d just ignore it…</p>
<p>For God’s sake everyone! Just hit the gym/diet and within a few weeks, depending on your initial weight and body fat percentage, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I don’t think so, because guys tend to have higher muscle ratio compared to girls. Muscles weigh more than fat so guys will tend to be heavier even if they are the same height. And guys tend to have bigger bone structure (once again weighs more) so there you go.</p>
<p>
That’s similar to what I’ve heard – ideal is 100 lbs for 5 feet and another 5 lbs for each additional inch.</p>
<p>I like yours better, lol, since I fall into it nicely. XD</p>
<p>even though guys have more muscle girls have other parts that usually weigh them down. It also depends on how much muscle the guy has</p>
<p>Well muscle does weigh more but it causes one to lose weight in the sense that having more muscle burns calories( even you’re just sitting around) and hence a fat person will actually lose weight by gaining muscle.</p>
<p>Hm my friend actually who’s 5’9 weighs like 127 ish. But then again he’s pretty skinny.</p>
<p>guys-</p>
<p>in my school it seems like guys prefer the “hot body” to the “pretty face”…
i mean if a girl has an okay body- meaning avg size but nothing special like nice legs or super flat stomach or big boobs, but a really pretty face would you go for her
or would you go for the girl that has a really nice body, but an avg face, meaning maybe a flaw or two or just not all that attractive…
?</p>
<p>and i read one of the posts saying that girls are the pickier gender–and that couldn’t be further from the truth.</p>
<p>think hard-- how many couples do you know where the girl is SO much prettier than the guy (or just on a good looking scale, waaaaay above their league.)??</p>
<p>I know so many, and this is cuz girls care so much more about personality and more easily changed/controllable characteristics like how you dress, how you treat others, etc.</p>
<p>guys are SO much more shallow and this is because they are biologically more visual… thats just my guess.
You raaaaarely ever see a good looking guy with a less than average-ly looking girlfriend.</p>
<p>A gorgeous face redeems a merely decent body, although I usually shoot for both.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Girls are the pickier gender because they have so many more standards that men have to live up to in addition to appearance. I didn’t mean to say that they were pickier with regard to looks, just overall.</p>
<p>A man has to always be thinking about what he’s going to say, worrying whether it will put off the girl, at least early on. Women have more screening mechanisms and are therefore the pickier gender.</p>
<p>Some guys get chicks above their own level of appearance, true, but that doesn’t make the chick out of his league. His personality makes his overall package live up to standards, putting himself within her league.</p>
<p>Think about the common thrown around stat that 20% of men have sex with 80% of women… come on, who’s pickier?</p>
<p>depending on your muscle mass, your height and weight is probably fine. exercising always makes you healthier. but who knows, you might lose weight later. i actually lost 5 lbs after my freshmen year.(oh right, that’s b/c i stayed up till 3-4AM without eating anything since 7PM. not recommended)</p>
<p>Ignoring the bickering in this thread…
I’m actually finding it kind of useful. I’m trying to figure out a weight to not go over during Christmas break (for me and the boyfriend!) since I am a fiend when it comes to treats and overeating. I honestly need to tone up more than anything (so my weight would be irrelevant then) but come on, I don’t have those kind of expectations over Christmas break 
</p>
<p>According the nifty formula my ideal weight is 132. Around that weight I look aright, but at the point if some kind of event (dress!) were to come up I’d be wanting to lose 5 pounds to help the tummy bulge. Ideally, I like to be under 130 to be comfortable with myself and fit nicely into my clothing.
Thanks to all my walking around on campus I’ve slimmed to 125. However, since I’m not toned up, I’m still flabby in some areas. I am more of a medium build/lighter side at 67 inches. I should start going to the gym again but… argh, finals week is tiring enough already!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m curious as to where you got this stat.</p>
<p>I think I read it in a PUA book, but I can’t remember exactly where I saw it. That isn’t the exact number; I’m probably exaggerating the true statistic, but it’s still clear that a smaller proportion of men get a higher proportion of women.</p>
<p>Although I guess the number probably more accurately reflects the current social system that anything (that since men do most of the approaching, only the one’s who actually do get all the women). I still think that women are pickier, which makes sense given evolution. A woman can only conceive every 9 months, but a man can have as many kids as he wants. Although chicks are more leniant in the looks department since they care about other things as well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…dear god.</p>
<p>also i think women are less “picky” because they’re less concerned about physical appearances and are more apt to consider other personality qualities with more weight.</p>
