Body type?

When asked for body type when setting up your profile how do you decide which category you fit in? It seems some have strange self perceptions.

Yeah, and I wish we could filter our own preferences too. I mean, I’m open to body types in general, but there’s no point in a guy messaging me if he’s into super slim lasses. Still, I suppose there is also the fact that I’ve written that in my profile.

I said curvy, cos I'm a woman with boobs and a bum, so curved... But pretty average really. Not in the realms of BBW. I just added the details in my bio so people kind of know what to expect

Just be as honest as you can I suppose. I had average and it was then suggested to me that I should change it.

Most of us have decent enough eye sight to decide if someone's definition of their body type matches ours. I'd never be cruel enough to point out that it didn't match my definition.

I put ample because, I don't know... I'm definitely curvy but I'm also fat with it. Like solidly so. I know you can be curvy at any size but I'd rather people saw me and were pleased than thought I was a size 12 with big boobs.

I just put average. Then if I do a pic and haven’t been to the gym for a while or have put on a few pounds, it still applies rather than if I put athletic or slim. It’s all subjective anyway and I don’t think many people even check, especially if you have a few different body pics on your profile from different angles.

I use curvy because that's how I see myself. I've got a big ass and thick thighs and I want someone to be prepared for the fact that when they try to bend me into pretzel shapes in bed they're gonna see rolls.

I've had people tell me I'm not big enough to be curvy yet you also get forum posts complaining about women just using curvy as a cover for being fat.

Basically everyone interprets those body type labels differently and you'll never please everyone no matter which you choose. Personally I think people should worry less about which label people pick and just go by pictures. It's far easier.

I said athletic because that's how I'm most often described by others.

Her ladyship uses curvy because she has cuuuuuurves.

Most people are fairly well aware of their body type, there are a few who I would personally disagree with but I wouldn't dream of saying anything to them. I find the personality way more important than a figure - though of course it should be noted that a personality trait I find disagreeable is an inability to be self aware.

Very difficult to pick for women. I think men have it easier. And even harder if your a bigger woman

5’5 and say 120lbs your slim or athletic, nothing too difficulty there

But 5’5 and 200lbs? That’s a hugeeeee range of body shapes and sizes

I think it’s best to have some decent body pictures so everyone knows what they’re dealing with

Body shape and age are probably the two characteristics for which people are most dishonest on dating sites (mind you some people even lie about their height!) The problem is when you are honest and put "average" despite veing better built than someone who had put athletic.

I look at some of the people who have chosen to label themselves as the same body type as I have chosen and it makes me feel like I should change mine up a couple of levels.

It's a descriptor that is completely subjective and therefore completely pointless.

And I haven't looked at men's stats, but apparently the average woman in the UK is a size 16 and has a 36DD bust. I found that rather interesting, as I would imagine many women of those sizes would probably not class themselves as average from what's been said.

Yep, they might have had an influence on me changing mine. My waist (with a tummy admittedly)' is definitely smaller than my boobs, I have a defined *does a hourglass shape with hands* waist and hips shape when I take a photo naked. But I read a lot of *curvy not fab curvy* kind of comments when on my period and thought fuck it. Ample it is.

The people I meet like my shape and I've never had any negative messages about it. That's good enough for me, when I'm not a hormonal mess.

"So many stats out there that prove perceptions wrong. As far as I can remember the last time I looked the average height of a woman in the UK is 5'3" but anyone I know that height thinks of themselves as a shortarse. "

The ONS said the average man in England was 5ft 9in (175.3cm) tall and weighed 13.16 stone (83.6kg). The average woman in England weighed 11 stone (70.2kg) and was 5ft 3in tall (161.6cm).

My wife's 5'3" and definitely considers herself short. She doesn't weigh anything close to 70kg though.

I'm a couple of inches below the average male height but again I'd put myself firmly in the short category.

"I look at some of the people who have chosen to label themselves as the same body type as I have chosen and it makes me feel like I should change mine up a couple of levels.

It's a descriptor that is completely subjective and therefore completely pointless.

And I haven't looked at men's stats, but apparently the average woman in the UK is a size 16 and has a 36DD bust. I found that rather interesting, as I would imagine many women of those sizes would probably not class themselves as average from what's been said.

Posh

Wow really?! I’m that size but an E not a DD and no way would I put average. Reading this I was actually thinking of changing from curvy to ample x

Yeah true and I’m nearly 5ft 10. A person who is a size 16 at 4ft 10 is obviously going to be a totally different shape. I don’t think these stats mean much really.

Didn’t know what to put really, athletic seemed the most fitting, there’s not many options to pick from is there but in fairness it’s not something I look at on a profile.

Thank you. I know it’s a confidence issue, but when you’re told your weight is an issue from a young age, and then as an adult have people calling you fat on public forums when you call yourself curvy, or in private messages when they’re hateful, you kind of accept it. Trying to get beyond that mindset, and luckily Inked is very supportive. The first person to ever tell me I was pretty but too big was a loved family member, at 16 years old.

What is 'average' exactly? The average of what?

Can't even remember what box I ticked. Doesn't really matter - all my pictures are very recent and representative. Sadly, I've hooked enough catfish in my time to not want to do it to others.

I categorised as average I think but described myself by as rugby player build by using the example of two Welsh established rugby players from the Welsh squad because rugby build has so many interpretations!!

It’s mentioned just as a polite warning to people!!

It all depends on what you think if yourself. I listed myself as slim to start with because that's what I thought it was and though Athletic sounded arrogant. I still consider myself the slim side of athletic but it took a while to realise that

Not really, it is people just whingeing about nothing. If the profile has a clear photo of a near as dammit full length shot. The body shape category chosen is irrelevant. You like what you see or you don't. The same people will argue what is classed as well endowed etc

"I was clearly having a good day when I filled it in as I have put 'athletic', but I would probably go for 'average' now, not least as lots of guys on here who class themselves as 'athletic' are in much better shape than I am!"

I'd definitely agree your physique is athletic. Athletic to me doesn't mean cut or shredded with 4% body fat. For me the difference between a slim body and an athletic one is a body that is clearly shaped by exercise rather than simply not being overweight. I don't work out so don't have a particularly muscular upper body like you but I do run a lot and that is obvious on my legs. I don't believe it is possible to have an athletic physique without training regularly in an athletic discipline.

Obviously this is only my opinion, there are people who I would say are slim and look as though they do nothing more athletic than put the bins out who feel they tick this box. Equally there are guys with fantastic musculature who in everyday life I would say had a body builder physique rather than an athletic one but given the lack of choices on this site agree that athletic is the best descriptor.

Thanks, mate - appreciate that! And if the forum will forgive the love-in, definitely the right descriptor for you too, imho!
