<p>Don’t judge me… PUA books, although having to be taken with a grain of salt, are actually interesting (given a good author). They address social dynamics from a psychological and scientific standpoint. I bet you’ve never read any of the books that I have, so you don’t have any room to comment. I’m not talking about David Deangelo’s “double your dating.” I don’t have time for crap like that. But Paul Janka’s Attraction formula was a very good read.</p>
<p>I already said that men were pickier with looks, but women want a good looking alpha male… who are much more rare than a gorgeous braud. They’ve gotta be more picky; it wouldn’t make any sense otherwise given how we’ve evolved.</p>
<p>dramakitty: How is it 107.5??
5’2 is 62 inches.</p>
<p>y ± 4 = 5(62 - 60) + 102.5
it’s 112.5 ±4 which would be like 108.5 at the lowest.</p>
<p>I forgot to do the multiply 5 when I was first doing this with my own height (64 inches) and it still came out over my weight… O_O is this thing correct?</p>
<p>I do have unrealistic standards for my weight though i must admit because alot of asian girls I know are really super light. like i want to lose 4 lbs and be in the double digits… and just wanna say “when I was in college… i weighed this much” LOL. And my body fat percentage is pretty high so… -_- I should work out and get some muscle (would make me heavier for a bit but whatever)</p>
This is a common misconception among people looking to lose some weight. The truth is that 60-70% (something like that) of your weight loss will come from your diet (so you will lose that much less if you’re just exercising). You should try eating many small meals (5 or 6 per day, 300 calories each) rather 3 large meals. It worked like magic for me; with moderate exercise, I lost 25 pounds.</p>
<p>I am 5’4" and 120, (OP said she’s 125, same height) and no one would call me chubby. I can see my ribs when I’m just standing there. I think it depends on where you carry your weight as to how people perceive you. My bottom/thighs are the thickets part of me, but I don’t have the fat gut in front that a ton of girls have (and let hang over their pants, in front or muffin top or whatever you call it).</p>
<p>So OP, if you wanna lose the 5 pounds or whatever that’s cool, but you are NOT chubby from just your measurements. If you don’t wanna look it, that’s okay, but you’re not unhealthy.</p>
<p>Chubby is subjective, someone with a BMI of 26 can look thinner than someone with a BMI of 22 depending on body type, etc.</p>
<p>A good way to lose weight is eating more meals but smaller portions. Also, try to walk to various places in town or bike as opposed to taking an automobile.</p>
<p>"There are a lot, lot more girls that would be better off losing 15 pounds than girls that would be better off gaining 15 pounds.</p>
<p>Chubby depends on what kind of guys you want to hook. If you want to nab losers who have little selection, 300 pounds wouldn’t be chubby. If you want to hook a good guy (charming, intelligent, athletic, etc.) who have a wide-range of girls to choose from, you’ve got a pretty strict definition of chubby. Think about girls who make their living based off their looks, like pro. cheerleaders, strippers, etc. A top-notch guy will probably be looking for a physique like that."</p>
<p>Nice job making assumptions…and demeaning overweight girls…</p>
<p>augustuscaesar, no, that’s pretty normal. Not skinny but definitely not chubby at all. </p>
<p>And LOL I think it’s hilarious that according to the quote in sciencenerd’s post (I don’t know who made the original post saying that) I’m probably considered chubby but the guy I’m dating right now fits into that person’s “good guy” category perfectly.</p>
