When I say a few extra pounds
Posted: 6/18/2008 4:23:56 AM
A few extra pound's is being over used.A few extra pound's mean's prolly 10 or 20 lb's overweight...Now a day's it's being misused and a few extra pound's may mean 10 - 200lb's overweight..

You look average to me. I have seen some massive people classify themselves as average or a few extra pounds. I think you are being to hard on yourself.

No offence but you are overweight. Your BMI is probably in the obese catagory. therefor I would say "a few extra lbs" which may be ''average'' too as the average American is overweight.

Sue,
I hear what you are saying..........I think my profile says average. When I engage in a conversation with a man I telll him what size I am. I am not going to hide a thing. I wear right now between a size 12-14. I am in the process of walking 5 miles every day and working out for me.
I met a man once and he was 67 and to me kind of looked like Boss Hoggs from the old Dukes o Hazzard show. I fell for his mind and he was kind and loving. We did not last because he thought I was too young for him.
To me its the personality that I look for, with men it seems to be the outer skin. What will these men do when the young ones they hooked go looking for someone else.
I know who I am , a good and kind lady and one of these days I will meet the right one.
You look great, and you cant go crazy trying to figure people out.
Andrea

The weight issue has been done to death on POF.
In the end..it doesn't matter what strangers weigh.
What matters is what you posted, who saw it and what
they think of you.
Seems to me there are several people here who probably
get their jollies by kicking puppies and drowning kittens.
For some reason they can't feel good about themselves without putting
others down in the most vicious way possible.
On the upside...I suspect one could come back here 20 years from
now and still see the same posters offering advice on how to catch
that perfect fish...and wondering what the heck went wrong.

I put "A Few Extra Pounds" because I do have meat on my bones. I would not concern yourself too much with "body type". Current, full body pictures is what most people look at. If I decide I want to meet someone, I turn on my cam so they can see me in live mode.

So many people put up old pictures, misrepresent themselves and think it is fine to be deceitful about what they look like. Most people are polite about being lied to however, I am not sure why. I just do not understand how someone can be 30, 40, 50 pounds heavier than their picture and expect anyone to be happy at the first site of them. How can anyone start a new friendship that has started off based on a lie?

If a person puts on their profile "A few extra pounds" to me means that means that they have honestly looked at themselves and said yes I'm a little on the bigger side based on the picture. However I have seen pics where the person is obviously is more than a few extra pounds and POF needs to add another weight category for that maybe "king or queen size"

Why not use height and weight on the posting or at least BMI

I think for a gal your age you are perfectly within the realm of "average size" and you should not market yourself as overweight. Just my opinion..
