From the height/weight ratio...it could mean anything. There are plenty of extremely attractive women in that weight range.

From the picture...I don't find her particularly attractive...and she does appear to have a few extra pounds...but she certainly isn't fat...just a bit on the "big boned" side. But that is my personal definition/tastes. I tend to like more athletic and toned look.

I love how people think BMI or certain height/weight ratios define beauty. If you're attracted to her, then don't caught up in the numbers. In the end nobody gives a crap, you have to decide what makes you happy.

i cannot stand when people critisize other peoples opinions of beauty.
Some prefer a bit more, others, a bit less. so what?

Personally, i take care of myself and i tend to find myself thinking "why don't more women want to do that as well? "
Not saying the OP's girl in reference is heavy, but she is not lean.

I certainly hope you are kidding. No wonder nerds never get laid, their idea of an average girl is way above what should be expected. At 5 foot 5 she could weigh at least 160 before I'd say she was getting heavy. Anything below that is healthy. What is it with people today who think women need to be anorexic in order to be pretty?

The only issue I can see in the picture would be the protruding lower jaw. For as much as you can see in the picture, she looks fine.

But don't let others' opinions dictate what you think/feel. Don't be a sheep, think and feel for yourself.

(not to influence you, but she looks good :heart: )

I remember something about normal/healthy body fat index - in the 15% range for men, and 25% for women (but this is shrouded in the haziness of 10 years of past)

and other people puke after they eat in order to "take care of themselves".... but as long as a woman stays under the magic 120 number, its okay.

but hey, i'd rather do that than be seen as a disgusting slob in the eyes of other women.

i had a friend who was 5'7 and weighed 135...she was not fat by any means, some people just have different bone/muscle structures.
