Faye is curvy
_Allan_:
1 - I've dated girls accross the specturm. From 5'4, 120 pounds (if wearing jeans, jean jacket, jean shirt, and soaked through) all the way through to 5'6, 180lb beauty. And I can honestly say, I prefer the girl with meat on her bones. Less chance to hurt someone that way *LOL*
2 - Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin world go round
Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!
:mrgreen:

I wonder why people feel the need to attach an over simplified number to themselves, just so they can squeeze into a category that's only going to make them wig out about their weight.
If your doctor tells you "You weigh too much, it's affecting your health negatively" and/or you struggle doing basic everyday things like showering or walking up stairs, then you're fat and need to lose some weight.
If, on the flip side, your doctor says "You're too skinny, that's part of the reason you get sick so often" then you need to gain some weight, twiggy.
What's the point of a scale like the BMI that isn't accurate, in the sense that it tells you whether you're 'fit' or not? It doesn't work for all people, but people try to apply it to everyone else.
I will never understand the point of such sayings like "Only real women have curves". There's no need to tear down and insult women who aren't naturally curvy in order to point out that women with curves are attractive too. Why not just say "Everyone is attractive to someone. Some people find chubby beautiful, other people prefer a more 'streamlined' shape. Each one has its merits."

Excellent post, SayWhat... Great point. Personally, I like a woman with a little meat on her bones... but that doesn't mean I haven't dated skinny girls. I don't have anything against them... I just typically stick to what I like and base it on personality. Regardless of physical attraction, if you can't carry on an interesting conversation before or after the sex... then what's the point anyway?
Just my two cents...

People attach a number to it, cause most people cant make a neutral assessments about themselves, or they dont want to go to a doctor for a simple weight issue. Skinny people think they're too fat, fat people know they weigh too much but dont think it has any healthrisks.
It's like speedlimits, your car maybe be able to drive more then 50 miles and still do it safely, but that doesnt mean your risk isnt increasing if you're doing over 50miles an hour. BMI is a rough scale and should be used as a rough scale. But if your BMI is too high or too low, really dont ignore it but go talk to your physician... unless you want to go faster then the 'speedlimit'

Physical attraction is definitely important, but it shouldn't be the only thing; I know people who refuse to date guys outside their type', ie tall, fit, with the 'emo' style and facial piercings, who then complain that they never meet any 'nice guys'. Uh, hello, you just turned down a date with that really sweet guy because he has curly blonde hair and weighs more than 120 lbs. Wtf?
Personally I prefer curvier girls too, if I weren't me, I wouldn't be physically attracted to me. Waaaay too skinny.
As if that made any sense.
JonSnow: I get the 'rough scale' thing, but I meet people who obsess and starve themselves because they found out their BMI online and thought it was 'too close' to being fat. I just...dont' really understand how you can let something so...'rough' affect you to the point where you'd harm your body.
My BMI is ridiculously low, but I don't gorge on food until I throw up because I know it's just a rough scale, not to mention I did the smart thing and talked to my doctor about it.
