Are you serious?

i was thinking the same thing. for most of my adult life, i've been 125-130 lbs, and no guy (or woman for that matter) has ever called me fat or chubby. each woman is built differently...bones, breast size, rump size, muscle...which to some degree all contribute to weight.

to answer the OP's question---no 5'5 @ 135 lbs doesn't necessarily mean she's fat, especially if she works out regularly.

Anecdotally, one of the hottest women I knew back in Texas had about those stats... and she wasn't fat by any stretch...

So...uh...YMMV I guess

She is a very pretty girl.

she has really nice skin, shiny hair, beautiful eyes and a dynamite smile.

she is not stick thin in weight or build. But she is certainly not fat.

She has every right to be confident that she looks great. And you have every right to be proud to be seen with her. ;)

i concur with what KM said, however, i dont like moles.. and MOLE!!!!

btw, id say that her weight is evenly dispersed, she wont have a ripped stomach, but she also wont have a huge overhang on her jeans. another thing however that turns ME off particularly, would be her arms, she has the looks of someone who will have flabby arms.

look at the mother for a better view of the future.

she's hidden her arms and she's thick.

135 she aint. You can tell.

She's cute though, why not date her and see?

her BMI is 22.5

* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

she is the perfect size :)

you know it depends on what kind of shape they are in, if they have sat aorund all their lives then they prob have a belly, or they could have a lot of muscle mass which weighs more than fat.
however even for the average girl no it is NOT fat, curvy which is better than skinny any day!

ok 1 she looks like shes a bit over 135 but you cant really tell from that picture

2 she obviously isnt obese or anything, but do you guys honestly think that weight is the norm? Theres absolutly nothing wrong with liking somone of a heavier build, but this one definatly IS a heavier build.

I've dated a girl 5'0" 120lbs and she wasn't fat at all. Had good soccer legs. Muscle is denser than fat.

For clarity; had editing issues.

Regarding BMI, the standard data analysis (CDC is a good standard source) out is way too lenient. 24.9 BMI is freaking FAT - normal range my a**. Also BMI for men and women are NOT the same (appearance wise) despite what the standard says.

For example for a 5'8" person a BMI of 20 makes out to 131.5 lbs. This works fine for a women; but you're going to be a skinny geeky looking guy most of the time.

I'd consider a BMI of 18-20 in the acceptable range for women. For a 5'5 person that's 120 lbs at a 20 BMI.

Generally speaking I'd consider anything over a BMI of 18-20 for young women in the acceptable range, barring an unusual body type. For 5'5", that would be 120 lbs max.

For the haters out there- I'm not prompting any kind of unhealthy behavior. Show me a height and weight that corresponds to a BMI of 18 (for a normal height women so people have a frame of reference, say 5'0" to 5-8") that is too thin or anorexic. by normal societal standards; it can't be done.
