Dress Size

Would it be better all around if you could search on dress size?

Some people prefer large ladies many prefer smaller. It would help people to see past close up pictures that give you no idea of body shape.

It might reduce the number of women who get rejected later on in the selection process by 'time wasters'.

Yes It's a good idea - but everyone is a different height and a different shape.

A 5ft size 16 woman will look completely different to a 5ft 7 size 16 woman.

I think it should be site rules that everyone has a clear body pic - dressed or undressed.

No.

It smacks of body-shaming, and women often wear different sized clothes, since the fit varies between brands, fabrics, shops, actual item of clothing etc.

No, it's a bad idea.

1st, a woman can wear a variety of dress sizes depending on manufacturer.

2nd, there will be the inevitable few who tell a white lie or two, and not be the size 6 they claim.

It's no different than the guy who says I'm VWE with 5 inches, or have a dad bod that's actually a beer keg.

Size is subjective and open to massive individual interpretation.

Still wouldn't be 100% accurate.

A 5'10 woman that was a size 14/16 could look in proportion and have a flat stomach and visible muscle definition and a low body fat percentage, whereas a 5'1 woman that's a size 14/16 could have a high body fat percentage and no muscle definition anywhere.

This completely!!

If you really want to know someone's size to exercise a "preference" OP there is an indication on every profile

We already have the height option so that helps for people to take a view.

If someone decides to search for a women who is a size 8-10 it's not because they want to body shame that women.

Women cannot hide their body shape in the real world, why hide it on a site where people are hoping to meet?

The trouble with this idea is that dress size varies as I am a size 10 in some or a size 12 in others. The biggest hurdle of course is guys very rarely read the damn profile anyway.

A size 22 may wear size 18 to 24 but wont fit into size 12 clothing. It's a guide to assist with genuine attraction not a dress making service!

It doesn't need to be 100% accurate, not many things are. As a guy looking at womens profiles you can often come away with no idea.

But as already been said. If someone's 5ft 10 and a size 16.. they will look totally different to a 5ft 0 lady in the same size clothes...

What's wrong with looking at a photo. You can't search for body size on here anyway...

I fear that the rejections have nothing to do with bodyshape and more to do with men who enjoy the chase then bottle it when the meet is arranged.

I don't think it would work.

Most women get very touchy if asked their dress size.

I'm usually a 12 but I have clothes ranging from a 10 up to a 22. I'm just over 5ft so I look very different to my friend who's 5ft 10 and size 12. You probably wouldn't get a much clearer picture than you do now.

I don't think it would stop much time wasting either.

Depending on the clothes I'm a few different sizes. I don't want to be labelled by a dress size. My pics tell you enough of what I'm like so you either find me attractive or not.

We get enough abuse at times without putting something on our profile that invites the silly remarks x

Each to their own, it’s like I get wary of people with only one public pic — we all make judgements, just avoid the ones that you think are hiding something.

This is not an attack on anyone.

Why would a women want to hide her size from people she may hope to meet? Read higher up, some women tell men it's rude to ask.

You cant see a guys cock when you walk into a bar or night club but you can see his height. Just like you can see a womens body size.

I think that is OTT. It's a sex site not dating site. If someone states their body type then that should give you a general idea of what they are built like. If someone asked my dress size then that would be an instant turn off for me.

I'm 5ft 8 and a size 16. I know I look completely different to someone who is 5ft or 6ft and the same size.

If you can't see enough pictures on someone's profile to judge whether you'd find their size physically appealing, then just find a profile that does have enough pictures to make a decision.

I wouldn't expect guys to list their waist measurements or chest sizes, so why should ladies have to.

How about men do waist size? I've just gone down a size from 34 to 32. Had to buy new trousers but whilst my waist is slimmer my thighs have got bigger (cycling) so that at a big snug on the legs when I sit down.

Back to this thread; I don't think dress size should be a profile requirement. Two women, same size and build could wear the same dress and look so different - it's all about sassyness and style. And a larger lady can look so much easier than a slimmer one when make (and vice versa) but naked appeal mad nothing to do with body size, once again it's down to how a woman struts her stuff that is the real turn on.

I know that it's an online phenomenon just like mens height. People cannot hide their body shape/size in the real world, why is it such a bad thing to question it on a site where people specifically hope to meet.

Lets say it as it is, many women have no problem putting honest pictures up. Just check this thread.

Mens waist size and height are two of the best indications of a mans body shape. I can't argue with that.

It's interesting that many people assume that asking for dress size means you want to rule out women at the higher end of a very arbitary scale.

The guy made a suggestion that he thought might make things clearer. I don't think it was an attempt to insult anybody of any size.

"It's interesting that many people assume that asking for dress size means you want to rule out women at the higher end of a very arbitary scale.

The guy made a suggestion that he thought might make things clearer. I don't think it was an attempt to insult anybody of any size."

Agreed. We know why those who have assumed have done so though, right?

OP, what dress size are you seeking in a meet? Willing to actually state?

"Would it be better all around if you could search on dress size?

Some people prefer large ladies many prefer smaller. It would help people to see past close up pictures that give you no idea of body shape.

It might reduce the number of women who get rejected later on in the selection process by 'time wasters'.

How about a section for men to.put their waist size, chest and hips too. Why pick on ladies size. We lady's have

preferences regarding size too x

"

Possibly because he's primarily interested in women, being straight.

Anybody can suggest that men state their stats if they want to.

Wow everyone is having a go at the OP when he just made a suggestion.

I understand every women will wear different sizes but a most can give you an average. Also understand the height thing but from the profile you can already check that out.

The new options to search for photos have BBW, small tits, big tits etc I don't see how this is much different.

It would save me hassle as I get loads saying they like big women but when they see how big I am they stop messaging even though it's in my name that am a BBW!!

"Perhaps we can search on personality type instead

Cheeky

Sarcastic

Studios

Up their own arse

Etc.

"

I’m not sure I could choose between cheeky and sarcastic

Surely the moral to this tail is if the person has no clear pics then either ask for one or don’t meet them, for people who have clear pics, if their body shape is not for you then don’t meet them, it’s not rocket science is it, you just look at the pics and if you like them take it further

I added mine to my profile not so long back as I thought my pics might be misleading.

Thing is though with dress sizes, that people carry weight differently. Like a tall size 16 wouldn’t look like chubby little me at 5 foot 3

A man messaged me who had size 16 and under only on his profile. I told him sorry I'm a size 20, too big for you. He said I didn't look that big and it would be ok. So. Not everyone can go by dress sizes.

"Still wouldn't be 100% accurate.

A 5'10 woman that was a size 14/16 could look in proportion and have a flat stomach and visible muscle definition and a low body fat percentage, whereas a 5'1 woman that's a size 14/16 could have a high body fat percentage and no muscle definition anywhere. "

5’9” and a size 14 dress here.....

I’m a size 6 or 8 in shorts though.

Not that it matters, he’s allowed his preference. But I’d guess what I think he’ll go for, and if he prefers larger sizes then I’d suggest he realise this isn’t the most productive way of attracting his preferred group.

But we read profiles, if you put on your profile you prefer a size 16 and below those above a size 16 will say when you go prospecting that they are above your size preference, thereby saving you the angst of rejecting them

Women could search for men by clothes size

But I could wear a medium and be like a 17 year old roid head

A large may fit snug

XL fit how I like

And with a 2XL look like sack of spuds tied in the middle

But technically they all fit

If you want to meet a particular size of woman then go for women who have clear pics so no surprises! I have my dress size on my profile as I know that some of my pics *may* have been taken from a flattering angle I don't want anyone to be disappointed when they meet me.

Be proactive then rather than being reactive.

Say on your profile what you’re looking for.

If I was only interested in ginger haired men for example, I’d state that on my profile.

Only larger ladies who make an assumption about me based to some degree on their personal insecurities would allow a thread like this to effect whether or not they took me seriously.

One preference that I will share with you is that I'm very attracted to female confidence, a women who is happy in her skin. I dont think that type of women would be put off, she'd possibly be more attracted by my honesty, confidence and lack of sycophancy.

Isn’t one of the joys of swinging that we get to play with people of all types, people we might not play with ordinarily, I guess it depends on why we are on here but we do it to enrich our existence, to meet different people of different types, shapes, colours and social backgrounds, I guess I’m lucky with my perfect match at home, but for me it’s the diversity and horizon widening experience that makes me a better person if I limit my search to always the same type surly I risk missing out on that

Because the (assumption) is that you have contacted someone and been disappointed that they weren't the size you like, now again it's an assumption, that the said lady was bigger than you like but I would struggle to find anyone who on seeing a slimmer (fitter?) lady than they were expecting turned around and said to her, sorry I can't take this further you're much too slim and 'fit'!

Apologies if I have got your intentions wrong however

Think he's trying to keep his options open but yes I agree I doubt any larger lady would take him seriously after this

Only larger ladies who make an assumption about me based to some degree on their personal insecurities would allow a thread like this to effect whether or not they took me seriously.

One preference that I will share with you is that I'm very attracted to female confidence, a women who is happy in her skin. I dont think that type of women would be put off, she'd possibly be more attracted by my honesty, confidence and lack of sycophancy.

I'm perfectly happy in my own skin thank you, but when someone attempts to shame others because of their size that does not make me happy

I couldnt agree with you more. I find any form of body shaming abhorrent.

Please explain what that remotely has to do with this thread?

Because the (assumption) is that you have contacted someone and been disappointed that they weren't the size you like, now again it's an assumption, that the said lady was bigger than you like but I would struggle to find anyone who on seeing a slimmer (fitter?) lady than they were expecting turned around and said to her, sorry I can't take this further you're much too slim and 'fit'!

Apologies if I have got your intentions wrong however "

Thank you for the apology, and yes you definitely got my intentions wrong.

Why not honestly and openly state your preference? You’d appease those who feel you’re not “owning it”.

Because society and the media have done an effective job of dictating the image of the 'perfect' woman, and making the rest feel shite for being who they are and what they look like."

That's a tragedy and difficult to argue with.

I don't believe most men approach an advertisers idea of the perfect women. For many of us they're not perfect.

For no other reason that I'd appease one group while alienating another. This is in no way a veiled attack on any women.

This. It would help if men with a preference for slim or larger ladies put it on their profiles.

OP, you obviously have a preference otherwise you wouldn’t have started the thread in the first place so I find it a bit hypocritical that you won’t state what your preference is yet think women should put their dress size on their profiles.

I'm totally in favour of OP's suggestion... as long as there's ALSO an option to search by income level, marital status and race/shoe size preference too, since he seems to heading in that direction...

Now that you mention it, I prefer VWE divorced males, no kids, size 12 feet upwards, age/size no matter earning upwards of six figures (preferably in pound sterling) as it takes rather a lot to properly entertain and amuse a stellar fat-ass like me.

Carry on...

"Would it be better all around if you could search on dress size?

Some people prefer large ladies many prefer smaller. It would help people to see past close up pictures that give you no idea of body shape.

It might reduce the number of women who get rejected later on in the selection process by 'time wasters'."

Clothing manufacturers have increased the sizes in the UK now anyway.

A today’s size 10 is an old size 12 etc.

Next we’re the first to do it quickly followed by most others.

It’s a minefield on Fab regardless of a dress size.

I completely agree with you and as a number have said on this thread, none of this matters if there are clear body pictures on a profile, but most choose not to.

Many do by the way!

But you chose dress size, meaning this is the specific qualifier you selected as of importance to have clarified for attraction selection. Thus likely it is one of importance to you. But when challenged on why you chose it, you’re unwilling to personalise but say it’s unfair that people have inferred things from all of this.

Yes, it’s just an idea. It would work for some, for others not. But it has demonstrated that it’s high on your list of importance, not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just means those who don’t find body size so important or have had negative experiences with being objectified or found those that are so fixated on it a bit shallow and uninteresting may swerve you. That’s all fair.

I haven't read the thread, but...

Has any woman ever asked people what dress size they think she is? On a few rare occasions other women have guessed mine right, but I have yet for a man to guess correctly (even though I have full length naked pics up).

So....I don't even think most guys would know what they were actually searching for given the opportunity to search by dress size.

Lots of people have mentioned that sizing isnt that straightforward. Personally, I have some clothes that are size twelve, and some size 20. They all fit

My understanding is that lady's clothes sizes are still based on those set in the 50's ( when people were obviously not so well nourished)

My dress size has no relevance. If someone asked me that in a message I would politely say ‘no thank you’.

Clothes sizes are different shop to shop and women wear them differently, some like loose, some like skin tight. It would be a flawed search criteria.

Meeting someone doesn’t mean you need access to anything and everything about a person. So far, you have height, description, pics and now the pics have descriptions. Sometimes you need to look at the info that is already there and use your noggin ... we all know currently that doesn’t happen in many cases, more info won’t solve that problem.

If in doubt, don’t message. It’s as simple as that in my view.

Personally I think if dress size was the ruling - people would just lie about it like they lie about body shape now.

If a Large Lady posts she is slim then before a meet or after a meet the guy stops contact because of this... why is it the guy who’s a time waster?

Honesty Is ALWAYS the best size

I've always put my clothes size on my profile.... mainly because when I was very over weight at a size 20/22 I seemed to always look smaller in pics so didn't want to "catfish" anyone.

I’d guess you were a size 8

And I’d also guess to counter the balance the cock you’re riding is a W/E version

Honesty is. How do we truthfully vet the patronising objectifying plonkers out though? Especially when they aren’t self aware to tick the right box. It’s a pain indeed.

If people asked my dress size and I gave them the size I average in the majority of shops as a way of them filtering out those who are bigger or smaller than their preference then they would likely be disappointed if they met me purely on the basis of that information. A size 14 on average fits me but a size 14 short clingy dress will show a podgy stomach and other podgy bits on top of relatively skinny legs once you get past the thunder thighs so I may wear a size 14 but I will wear a dress that suits my proportions. Dress size is not an indicator of those. Hence why I, like many other, have body pics that give an idea of my shape and size on my profile and more candid ones in friends only I can share with people I may meet so they can make a visually informed decision.

people can have an idea of the difference between sizes but if you can wear both depending on the make of the item how would saying obe size represent the other aswell?

No I wasn't race baiting. It was a thread about preferences, but as always the same people got pissed off making up their own idea of what I was asking. I merely said I wouldn't fuck x y z. I didn't say it was for negative reasons.

Yet everyone assumed I was racist. They ignored the other 'types' I mentioned in the OP.

Same as they are doing on this thread.

One preference that I will share with you is that I'm very attracted to female confidence, a women who is happy in her skin. I dont think that type of women would be put off, she'd possibly be more attracted by my honesty, confidence and lack of sycophancy.

I'm perfectly happy in my own skin thank you, but when someone attempts to shame others because of their size that does not make me happy

He hasn't shamed anyone about their size! The women on this thread are the ones doing the shaming.

OP I think as others have said, that sizes can differ depending on height and build so it might not work. It's a very good point though. And very well made at that.

I agree he hasn’t, and haven’t said at any point he has. It’s the need to focus or highlight a qualifier for sizing that bores me. Like your need to start a race baiting thread the other day. But you’re both perfectly entitled to post as people are to reply.

No I wasn't race baiting. It was a thread about preferences, but as always the same people got pissed off making up their own idea of what I was asking. I merely said I wouldn't fuck x y z. I didn't say it was for negative reasons.

Yet everyone assumed I was racist. They ignored the other 'types' I mentioned in the OP.

Same as they are doing on this thread. "

I didn’t assume you were racist. You intended to be controversial. You included race to that end.

"I suspect too that the op has seen many profiles that either specifically request certain physical attributes thst he possesses and plenty that specifically state they don't want them."

It's ok for *some* people to state preferences.

It's not ok for men to fuck any wet hole.

It's never ever ok for men to want to find someone attractive.

I can’t speak for others but I haven’t taken offence at anything. I just feel there is enough information available already that isn’t read. Dress size can be misleading and misinterpreted. I don’t have any interest in whether it’s aimed at a particular size, shape or weight, my opinion still stands.

As always .... no harm in raising it but also no harm in responding.

I’m not in the slightest bit offended, others may be, others may not be. Challenging someone and disagreeing with them doesn’t have to mean you’ve taken offence — that’s just a lazy accusation.

Adding a dress size would mean nothing.

Men often over exaggerate their height on here.

If they’re incapable of understanding what height they are, they sure as hell won’t understand what a dress size on a woman’s profile means

"If people asked my dress size and I gave them the size I average in the majority of shops as a way of them filtering out those who are bigger or smaller than their preference then they would likely be disappointed if they met me purely on the basis of that information. A size 14 on average fits me but a size 14 short clingy dress will show a podgy stomach and other podgy bits on top of relatively skinny legs once you get past the thunder thighs so I may wear a size 14 but I will wear a dress that suits my proportions. Dress size is not an indicator of those. Hence why I, like many other, have body pics that give an idea of my shape and size on my profile and more candid ones in friends only I can share with people I may meet so they can make a visually informed decision."

Your pictures are clear. As many have said, clear body pictures are the best option.

Many do not want to have body pictures and as this thread has highlighted, many do not want to share dress size.

It was simply a suggestion because it has ALWAYS helped me when stated on a profile as part of the overall picture of person im approaching.

Nothing beats a clear picture though.

No my intention wasn't to be controversial, it was to show a range of preferences and ask why some are supposedly ok yet others aren't. People are allowed to fuck whoever they do and don't want to!

My point of that thread was that people are often shamed for their preferences- exactly what so many have done on this thread. The OP merely asked a question yet he got slammed for supposedly shaming women and not wanting to meet fat women. He did neither!!

It's been another great example of this. Thanks OP.

Challenging doesn’t automatically mean shaming. Why some “preferences” are more controversial — come on, you understand that, and yes nobody suggests having sex with someone you don’t want to but, there has to be some societal influence that builds us to having some conscious and unconscious preferences directly or indirectly. Nature/nurture influences impact us all. Awareness of these constructs perhaps far less so.

Thank you to those who have chosen to read what I have written instead of making their own assumptions and then creating an argument to fit those assumptions.

I've not only been open to but have accepted many of the opinions on here that haven't attempted to personalise the thread.

"No.

It smacks of body-shaming, and women often wear different sized clothes, since the fit varies between brands, fabrics, shops, actual item of clothing etc.

I'm a 12 bottom and a 14 top so how would that work on me??? "

Go for the middle ground, a size 13 perhaps
