Please, give me your definition of the different body types. I see different size people for the same body type. I see average as someone at their idea body weight. An equal medium for a body type.

I tend to think pictures say a lot more. I don't really worry about the body type someone selects as long as they have clear pictures. I'd be much more skeptical of someone who didn't have clear pictures of themselves than I would if they chose some body type I didn't agree with.

Pictures are the only way to really see.

I'm apple shaped.

What's wrong with that?

I carry all my weight in my waist. I don't like this because:

1. Larger waistlines are a risk factor for heart disease/attack.
2. I have to be really skinny to have curves.
3. Clothes shopping is much harder than girls who carry their weight in their butts and thighs.

Doesn't matter though...by the end of 2012 I will be skinny again.

Maybe your obsession with looks, is making you over look some great ladies. You look like one of those bless'd with being thin. Ladies tend to fight weight different from us men, esp. if they have had children. Get to know the person. Take some pics of different people & see what a camera changes. From there be a gentleman, get to know people & POLITELY ask DIRECT questions, if you have any. Has worked for me,for ALL my years here.

Amen brother! I've had three kids, I'm not the perfect body but I am tall enough that I am very proportioned. I still see men fall in love me with how I am now but some are also weary because I don't have the body of a 19 year old. What I don't understand is why I am almost 40 and men still want this teenage body. Does everything I say and think get dismissed because of this. Why so many comments on my personality and then ??? About compatibility.

I think bones showing, toothpick legs, and no distinct difference in circumference from shoulder to thigh is SKINNY






I think 15 percent or less body fat without exposing bones is SLIM






I think maintaining a firm body, and an appropriate body weight for height is HEIGHT WEIGHT PROPORTIONATE





I think carrying the weight slightly heavier in the hips and breast, while maintaining firm midsection, but still proportionate to each other is VOLUPTUOUS






carrying pockets of fat in the hips , arms , or thighs is fat





I think the average in america is between voluptuous and fat...

Pictures are definitely the way to go. If all the ladies could post a body photo in their profile, just for clarity, this would probably help most guys in their search. Just a thought.

lol

Because I've been losing enough weight every month so far to be at my ideal weight by December/January.

Men could do the same. Just a thought.

That's awesome!

Thanks.

Thats so cool, what are you doing to shed the weight?

Cutting off appendages.

don't make fun of us skinnies.we make sparks in the bedroom.....literally

apparently on here, average means that you barely fit through a three foot wide entrance door and a few extra pounds means get the forklift i have fallen and i cant get up. Ladies if you cant be honest with yourself about your condition, why would you expect anyone to take you seriously? .... Since i have already caught you in either a lie or a giant case of denial.... Politically incorrect? you bet. Factual though.

We all have our....Shape!!
It is what it is...
and I applaud those who.....
if THEY are not completely happy with it....
Take the effort to improve it. FOR THEMSELVES!!
I do not think it should be done for anyone else or to meet any worldly "standard"

I just wish People......Men and Women.....
could just be.....
Honest about IT!!!

If someone wont talk to us because of our shape....thats their loss and problem.

If someone wont talk to us because we lied to them about it.....
Thats our loss and problem.
