Deffinition of Average in america and Canada from statistics Posted: 3/10/2008 3:46:06 PM
By definition average is the majority, so in the US average would be slightly heavier than other countries and mean out of shape. As a majority Americans eat too much and don't exercise enough. Overweight, however, means that according to your doctor you weigh more than you should for your height and are therefore unhealthy. What they usually do not take into account is that muscle weighs more than fat. You could take two people of the same height and weight, both be considered overweight and one could have 30% body fat and cant climb the stairs without getting tired and the other has 4% body fat and be built like a brickyard shit house. Both would be categorized as overweight according their height/weight ratio. People who compete in strength competitions look like they are overweight and probably are categorized as that if you look at their height/weight ratio. In reality they are two legged oxen that are incredibly strong. Another group of people I have come across who are like this are loggers (people who log trees for a living). Most the guys I have met and seen on the competitions on t.v. look out of shape. But they are very fit due to the nature of their job. They may not be able to run a marathon, but I would like to see a marathon runner run a chainsaw and drag logs around the woods all day. The problem with the average and overweight thing is the perception our society has given it. We assume that in order to be considered in shape and healthy you have to weight a certain amount. This is not the case in reality. As for TallTexanns comment on "Athletic" better have a flat stomach...that means that to you the majority of pro baseball players are not athletic, all linemen and other football positions, Worlds Strongest Man competitors, some pro golfers, some pro boxers, upper weight wrestlers and special forces guys (I have seen SEALS and British Royal Marines without flat stomachs) are no athletic. I can name a whole lot of truly athletic people who do not have flat stomachs that can put people with flat stomachs to shame. Never judge a book by its cover...just because they have big muscles doesn't mean they didn't just shoot up on steroids, and just because they have gut and skinny arms doesn't mean they aren't some of the deadliest people on the planet.

do men in their 20's and 30's prefer 17 year old girls better than older women? Posted: 3/10/2008 3:06:04 PM
I think it is the whole innocence/virgin appeal. Even though anymore the majority of girls have lost this by the time they are 15 or so, the old school thought of it is still there. Its purely sex driven. As far as relationships go, I am 22 and getting to the point where I'm not sure I would date someone under 25. This is because from my experiences the majority of "college age" (18-23/24) young women immature in the relationship department compared to men of this age range. What I mean by this is young women have no idea what they want when it comes to relationships. To them it seems the grass is always greener on the other side. Young men on the other hand know exactly what they want...mostly just sex. I don't feel this makes them immature, especially when the majority will admit it, it makes them human. Young women rarely admit their sex drive or what they truly want from a relationship because they don't know, yet they act like they do.
