| what do men consider overweight? Posted: 11/11/2009 8:11:57 AM | Some people have different views on what overweight is...
I think im overweight, though my stomach doesnt hang over my pants, everything else is solid, I run 2+ miles a day, sit ups, pushups, and weight lifting at the gym every day. im 6'2" 210
Ive had extremely attractive girls tell me that Im attractive, and others say im too big.
If YOU are happy with your weight and lifestyle, then dont worry about it. | |

| what do men consider overweight? Posted: 11/11/2009 8:55:59 AM | Probably what they consider overweight (for me) is at least 20 pounds more than I consider overweight.
At my height and frame my normal healthy weight window is 128-133 lbs according to general health specs. 133 to 138 inclding muscle weight. For me seeing 135 or more is cause for concern.
I figure as long as my standards are higher than most guys on my body, there's nothing to worry about. I doubt I'd worry anyway though as I tend to be more worried about what I like than what anyone else thinks.
Bottom line is where you are happy with yourself. | |

I dont care about weight if i missed out on love with a woman because of her weight then dam i would be a very small minded person.could be any number of reasons why a person is that weight i dont think anyone has a right to judge them.
If they are happy in who they are then let them be,the only reason why a person wouldnt take someone for weighing to much would probly be for health reasons,and in this current world we are getting a greater understanding of this fact.
personally i think its upto the individual but for me all women are beautiful regardless of size or shape. | |

| what do men consider overweight? Posted: 11/11/2009 1:46:36 PM | The title of this thread is a BAD idea IMO and just adds fuel to the fire of the lunacy of everybody using their own "ruler". "What do men consider overweight"? It's not up for consideration because "overweight" is definable and defined. Over 25 BMI = overweight (unless you are a competitive athlete or somebody who is ripped). It's like asking what do women consider 6 feet tall?
A better title would have been what do men find attractive or "prefer" since that is based on opinions/preferences.
They need to teach this stuff in school because I'm honestly sick to death of this endless "debate" on something that shouldn't be up for debate. What it does is just CONFUSE women especially even more when they should be using BMI as a reference and IGNORING everybody else's "opinions". | |

| what do men consider overweight? Posted: 11/15/2009 3:51:08 AM | | It really has nothing to do with weight per se, and I'm fairly lenient on it, not all of us have the option to only date models. The way I see it I don't care if a girl's heavy, like(don't think sizes cuz I'm clueless) I just have a hard time being attracted to someone with rolls it's nasty. And I'm not some axe model either by far, but I prefer someone similar to my own body type. Here's how you tell, if you're lying on your back and your stomach protrudes UP you're overweight. I know people b**** that they can't lose it well I say if you want to bad enough and discipline yourself, you can, it's been done. If a girl has a mushroom top and she's pretty and sweet, I'll still love her. But made of jello? Hell no. | |
