FabSwingers.com forum: Body Size descriptions

By (user no longer on site) OP

Could someone explain what the body description athletic means as it doesn't seem to mean what I think it does looking at women's profiles on here ? I thought it meant very lean and fit ??

Or do some women think it means lots of energy ?

Help

It's the same with the athletic men.

I think it means they feel they have done something sporty in the last year.

I'm just fat but it's not an option. Ooo, I'm doing a run soon so perhaps I should list myself as athletic after that.

Slim, in shape, toned and actively fit is what I think it means.

I list myself as athletic, though maybe it's more aspirational?

Anything from skinny twat like me to a rugby player or massive gym body could be described as athletic.

Just pick what you think is best and let your pics do the talking.

Athletic? For men it means they've picked the description they think most likely to get them a meet. For women it means they used to shot put for the East German olympic squad.

Athletes come in all shapes and sizes so as a size descriptor it's as subjective as curvy, fabulous, ample and all the others. Since you can't use it as a search parameter anyway it seems a bit pointless. It's almost as if people don't skip straight to the pictures anyway so they can make their own minds up about someone else's size and shape...

See it goes to show how people see things differently because I class builds like Usain Bolt as athletic rather than muscle built men

Bolt has got a 6 pack though and some massive muscles because he's a sprinter which is all explosive power similar to weight lifting.

Slightly over Weight so "curvy" I guess would be most accurate for you.

But then given now average is I've weight I guess you're right.

I know I suppose I didn't word it well I just mean more lean than muscle built

I know being a runner he's going to be toned but he's still slim and lean, not bulging

I know what I mean

No man should ever describe himself as curvy that's just wrong on ever level

Sure you're not thinking of Mo farah (however it's spelt) the long distance runner, sprinters do tend to be quite bulging especially in the leg department :p

After lol they only have to work for 10 seconds :p

Yeah same. Now I'm down to a 16 again I figured I could just about get away with curvy. Although I'm much less curvy than I was before really.

I think I'm down as large now. I was told I'm not big enough for ample by one man.

I make it clear in the profile text that I'm just fat.

I've seen some athletic men put ample and I assume they mean it tongue in cheek, nudge nudge, wink wink!

Away with the fairies (Liverpool to you)

When we joined up the body shapes went from slim through to fabulous with a whole range of words getting larger inbetween.....I chose fabulous because it was the biggest

My OH is a gym bunny and has a six pack and muscles so we chose athletic for him.....we have loads of pics and wouldn't meet anyone unless they had seen the friends only which has us full on bare ass naked so you can see exactly what you are getting which actually makes things a lot easier.

The sizing is subjective anyway as it is how you view your own self not necessarily what others think of you

Central

If you can make a hurried rush to the chip shop it can count as athletic, in some eyes. If your body is borderline, show clear photos that are recent and allow others to determine whether you're more Olympic sized than athlete or flag pole than typically sized for others' delights.

Only if you're cycling at such a pace that you get a good cardiovascular workout.

If you answer yes then I hope you have shower facilities at your workplace.

To work isn't bad as it's mostly down hill however I did make it in 10 mins for 3.1 miles the other day no shower facilities although I have suggested them I often get told I smell nice though
