"im a good 14/16 at the mo - and say im curvy - would never class myself as ample - but very hard to define as i think height comes into it as well - im fairly tall and carry weight not too badly (this is what im told) but if i was taller/ shorter the image would vary " Very good point and very true. Height does play a big part. | |||

"Picture paints a thousand words. Only the narcissistic amongst us will really worry about it. I don't look at what people class themselves as, I simply look at the picture and either like it or not. " Which I agree with completely but not all profiles show a body pic and as already mentioned by wyrdwomen above some people only put pics on that make them look a lot better than they actualy are. So yes I look at the pictures but I also read ALL of the profile before meeting/messaging. | |||

"I think your harsh but fair. I put myself as average, meaning as u say, size 10- 12, not overweight but perhaps cud be a bit thinner round the middle and much more toned. Its an easy thing to lie about but i want ppl to know what theyll actually be getting" Exactly ![]() | |||

"If I have a BMI that puts me in the overweight category, then I am overweight, simples. Down from being obese so I am happy! ![]() So have I at just under 6ft tall and being 14 1/2 stone. But I have a 45" chest and 34" waist and consider myself to be in good shape. Not sure BMI is a good guide! | |||

"If I have a BMI that puts me in the overweight category, then I am overweight, simples. Down from being obese so I am happy! ![]() Bmi is not a good guide if you do the weights.I am ooverweight according to my bmi. But then to have your bmi done properly you are supposed to have a pinch test and other things to go in conjunction with your bmi. For most who don't do weightlifting it is a relatively good guide ![]() | |||

"If I have a BMI that puts me in the overweight category, then I am overweight, simples. Down from being obese so I am happy! ![]() ![]() It is a hangover from when I used to play rugby and I did a lot of heavy weights work. Just do maintenance stuff now but people seem to think I am still in decent shape so I am not going to argue with them even BMI reckons I am clinically obese ![]() | |||

"I would love it if there was a choice that said 'comfortable'. Any size body can be beautiful to someone. The fact is that if someone is comfortable with their size then they will be confident with their actions, and a confident sassy lady is much more appealing than a lady who is uncomfortable with her body shape. " That is a great comment. Confidence is sexy! | |||

" I agree but at the same time people find different body types attractive and others not so. For example some people don't like skinny others do and vice versa so I think it's best to be up front from the beginning. Which goes back to describing yourself accurately which some people struggle with :-S men saying they are athletic when they clearly aren't. Or posting pics which aren't a true representation ![]() | |||

"If I have a BMI that puts me in the overweight category, then I am overweight, simples. Down from being obese so I am happy! ![]() ![]() ![]() You can see from your pic you work out or have done in the past. I'm the same. I'm 6'3 and overweight on my bmi but I'm not. The thing with bmi is it doesn't take into account muscle mass. With muscle being heavier than fat it boosts you right up the chart. Judging from your pic (if it's recent ) I'd say it's fair to put yourself in the athletic bracket cause you still have good muscle definition ![]() | |||

Or posting pics which aren't a true representation ![]() You are right yes, but if everyone put up a 'real'body pic of themselves and let others decide if they were attracted to them then it would save a lot of people missing out on some lovely people because they have maybe described themselves wrongly ( or have body issues). My opinion was purely a personal one as I have no issues with a ladies size, but I do like tall ladies lol.... another can of worms i guess. ![]() | |||

"If I have a BMI that puts me in the overweight category, then I am overweight, simples. Down from being obese so I am happy! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes all pictures are recent, if anything I am a little slimmer because I have switched to circuit body weight type work and skipping the heavy weights. Mind I am not going to be in the same shape as someone in their twenties who is also 'athletic'. We have D down as average as she is a size 14 but she could easily be 'curvy' as she has a big, firm pair of 38dd's! ![]() | |||

"I agree BMI may not be a good guide or apply to everyone, however, it is a recognised standard for measuring one's body fat. I prefer my gents to be slim/toned/solidly built, and don't like waterbeds that wobble when I ride them. ![]() ![]() BMI isn't the recognised standard for measuring body fat - it's for measuring body mass. That mass might be made up of muscle (not in my case unfortunately) which is why it's not really a good indication of someone's 'fatness'. Many athletes have a BMI that puts them into the overweight category but have very little body fat. I remember reading somewhere that the BMI was actually devised by a mattress company who wanted to design mattresses suitable for different weights. It was then hijacked by the medical profession and is now held up as some kind of holy grail. Not sure if that's true (just off to check google ![]() | |||

"The thing with bmi is it doesn't take into account muscle mass." You may in interested in the Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI) then, which gives far more accurate readings for people who lift - but you need to know your bodyfat% for it to work. http://www.naturalphysiques.com/28/fat-free-mass-index-ffmi Basically, for males, the ratings are around: 17: Below average muscle mass 19: Average 20: Above average 21-22: Noticably muscular 23-24: VERY muscular 25: Genetically elite Many of the golden age, pre-steroid bodybuilders had scores around the 25 region, but these have since been absolutely smashed with the introduction of hormones and drugs into competition - I believe Ronnie Colemans FFMI is around 32! | |||

"I can honestly say I never look at these, I look at the photo... " Probably the best bet (assuming it's reasonably recent). And if there isn't one, then maybe ask for one if the person's profile is of interest. | |||

"As I have repeatedly said in the past, there is more to cock size and body shape for me to be interested in a gent. I will not meet a gent if he has the personality of a single cell organism even if he looks and is built like a Greek God! ![]() Totally agree, but would make an exception if he looked like George Clooney ![]() | |||

"I'm a size 20 and six foot tall. I put ample and had everyone who met me telling me to change it to curvy as ample didn't fit me! This will always be subjective and only meeting for a coffee in person will ever solve the issue. " See now I would have said at 6ft tall, size 20 would mean curvy, and to me, ample is a descriptive word ie ample bosom, not another word for curvy | |||

"Hmmmmm so by your definition, I should describe myself as large! I don't think so sony jim, I think you need to go back to the drawing board. " No I don't. I said a size 14 is average or curvy which I think most would agree with. I said a size 14 is overweight, which dependant on your height is relatively true. Overweight doesn't necessarily mean fat ![]() | |||
