That's ridiculous. I'm 6-2 and that would put me at 189 lbs


Congratulations on maintaining your college weight and fitness. However, most sites would respectfully disagree with you and say 240 pounds at 6' 2" is borderline obese for the average 51 year old guy, but not being able to actually see you, I suspect you would have to be the anomaly and I will take your word for it.

I partially agree with you. I'm just over 6' and I have pics of me at 175 pounds and I look malnourished but even at 216, I know I could shed a few inches.

Healthline BMI

Also, age, race, genetics and weight distribution are other factors that should be considered. This site supports your assertion that BMI tables may not account for other factors.

Getting off the plane in the USA after a week in Cuba was severely depressing. "Back to these fatties with fattitude..ugh"

Wife is 5'6 and about 145-150 and I'm happy(as far as she knows.

I have dated women, her height and a lil taller but they were in the 110-120 range and I didn't really care for it beyond the initial attraction.

IMO this weight is perfect for that height.

I know everyone is different but I dont need an anorexic chick.

Some of the women on this board will call me anorexic. My BMI is in the healthy range.


I'm sure you also look like you're 12 years old.

I don't think its fair to compare women (as a group) today to women 75 years ago The demographics are not the same in this country as they were 75 years ago.

Not denying that we are putting on a lot of weight, but just an observation walking around Houston, the average Mexican woman is a good 10 inches shorter than me and probably outweighs me by 40 pounds too.

I'd like to see a demographic breakdown

you’re on the borderline of being underweight - I used a bmi calculator before I replied

True.

Fat chicks stay fat because dudes on Instagram tell them they are beautiful.

If they can get validation with no work, why put in the effort/

Everyone is built differently.

I'm EXTREMELY short torso'd. I have to get almost every outfit practically remade. Can't even buy long sleeves half the time. All legs and arms. So even though I'm "technically" within my healthy range at 103lbs currently (I'm 4'10"), I look far better at about 10lbs less.

I just love wine too much.

It's a tiny bowl, like you would dip salsa out of at a Mexican restaurant. I can't imagine eating gumbo out of it.

I just returned from France. The young ladies were jogging all over the place, all very slim and pretty. They mostly wear skin tight outfits so you can see everything they got, if you get my drift. Oh yeah, the guys were running, too. Beyond that, everyone is walking and riding bikes. It's a very fit culture.


I agree. But then they almost all smoke, which is a weird combo.

I weighed 185 and looked like a skeleton much of the time.

for sure - but we’ve all seen pics of Liz

According to the BMI chart, I’m on the borderline of being overweight. I weigh a lot. When I go for check ups I’m usually weighed two or three times because the nurse doesn’t believe I weigh that much.

I still could lose a few pounds, though. But I like food.

the amount of people that claim to be 6% bodyfat is insane

6% is Bodybuilder stage ready minus the dehydration

at 215 dude would have to be juiced to the gils or have 1 in 100 million genetics
