Size 18 is on the heavy side, but not hugely obese. You'd say she needs a diet, but you wouldn't say she needed gastric bypass surgery.

Here, take it from a woman.

I'd say 180 - 220, yeah.

Quite heavy...... It really is hard to judge.

How tall is that woman in the pic? Like 6'1? :Q lol

I guess you're sitting, that makes her seem taller.

In this case, he doesn't like hogs - that makes him shallow? By that logic you are shallow because you don't like fat clowns.

Shush.

I never said he was shallow because he doesn't like fat hogs. I said he was shallow because he said he was going to skip her based on advice he got here - from people exactly like you. Thanks for making my point, even if it did go completely over your head.

220! That is pretty big...unless she is built like a football player. ..and I need to be able to beat my women up.! lol!

You're right. If she's not muscular, she probably would be a bit under 200 lbs, perhaps as low as 190. If she's active and muscular, she could be in the 220 range due to muscle mass and wear the same size as the flabbier woman at 190.

Listen, I once met a girl thru the personals and went out with her....I was shocked, she was HUGE, I am talking 5' tall and her stomach was down to her knees and she could barely breath. I was nice enough to sit with her and have a soda and I left....disgusted but she never knew it.

I am not a mean person.

lol, that's good.

At least give her a chance. I don't think she will be ultra disgusting, but she's definitely not going to be like the blonde in your pic. ;)

Obviously id prefer the blonde pictured with me here but that is not gonna happen.

My sportbike is the best around for 2 up riding, I can take a girl up to around 170lbs
but id prefer one 150lbs or less.

I think this post was just a subtle way of showing off that hot blond and your bike :) lol

And actually that fat girl in the pics above is something I could deal with...she is chubby but still attractive IMO. Id hit something like that.

So if she is a 14 then 16 is getting up there and 18 is probably a little more than I can deal with.

Also the fatter girls get they tend to look older and less attractive...IMO anyways.

It depends on many factors. First, her bust, shoulders and hips across the ass, and waist are what determine size. In theory (although rarely) she could have a huge rack, a big but shapely butt and a smaller waist be confined to a larger size. Even so, that would put her bust in the mid-40s I think. Women's clothing at smaller sizes "lies" a lot - i.e., is marked smaller than the measurement. Not sure if that is true at 18, but judging from people I know she is probably close to, or surpasses, 200 lbs. In part I say that because women often underestimate (or lie about) their size. But who knows unless you meet her? If you are otherwise attracted go for it, or if you are that concerned ask to exchange photos and hope she doesn't find something about you a turn-off?

Her standard size, apparently. Although if any one of your: hips, shoulders, bust, or waist are proprtionately larger you would be that size.

The girl in question is definitely bigger than the girl on the right with the camera.

I bet she's like a size 14.
Click to expand...



Ok, so that is about a 14 eh?

Keep in mind that those girls are shorter than they appear...the one in pink is probably about 5'6" tops.

I think she is squeezing into a 14. Although the top she is wearing is probably smaller. Height and size do not always correlate btw. I know a 5'6" size 0 and several 5'0=5-2" size 14s and 16s.
