Ample body type??

[Shawn]

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is that just a nice way of saying fat?

Choices are:
Ample
Athletic
Average
Large
A little extra padding
Slim/Petite

Whats the difference between ample and large? Stupid dating sites.

 

[Tooncesthedrivingcat]

Stick with Athletic, Average, and slim/petite.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Ample means big tits.

 

[Whisper]

I'd say ample would be more along the lines of curvaceous/"healthy"/somewhat chubby, as opposed to large, which would be overweight.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I would think Ample = A little Extra Padding?

 

[Lola]

I would equate "ample" with "average"

 

[Vehemence]

Really enjoys Twinkies, but not quite a fatty.

well, considering there is no option there for overweight, and every other body type is listed....

confucious say ample is fat

 

[Shawn]

Aaah. The funny thing is no one else knows what it means either. I've seen people of all sizes select that option.

 

[jonks]

ample = no

 

[Capt Caveman]

Ample - more than a handful?

No, thats what it should mean, not what it actually is.

Any girl that can't at least convince herself she could in some way be considered average is certainly a fatty. And many women who put down average are using this definition: "The average woman is a fatty therefore I'm average. Even though I'm really large...wait...why is there a large option if average means large...wouldn't that be a redundant opti- *activate intentional mental blocking* -average it is! I'm average!

Sad but true.

A. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average weight for an adult female in the United States is:
162.9 pounds
This statistic for the average weight for an adult female is from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 1999-2002.

Why the "hmm"? As other said, I think it is below heavy and above thin.

Unless ample really does mean "average"... I suppose it does, in America.

 

[KeithTalent]

Ample = move along, nothing to see here.

I take ample as a tad overweight. Like if you lose 10LBS. your suddenly at recommended weight for your age/height.

 

[bignateyk]

Ample is what all the fat chicks put down instead of large or a little extra padding...


edit: The one that had me most confused was "voluptuous". There were choices for Slim, Athletic, Average, A little extra padding, large, etc..., and then voluptuous. ??? I think it's pretty safe to assume that anyone not listing themselves as Slim or Athletic is gonna be a chubster.

By the results of this thread, it's obvious the dating site fails.

Large tracts of land.

Translation:

Choices are:
Ample = fat
Athletic = average
Average = fat
Large = ginormous
A little extra padding = fat
Slim/Petite = waif

Pretty much this. You know people signing up for a dating site are going to exaggerate/outright lie. You have a 90% chance of the person being fat regardless of what they picked. I would guess that ample/large/extra padding would be mostly obese people. Average would probably be overweight to near obese.

In a country where 1/3 of adults are obese and 2/3 are overweight, this sounds about right.

True, it may be the actual average, but it shouldn't be.
