No, actually it's not. 175 would be normal for 5-9. 200 would be ok if they're bodybuilding.

Yeah huh. Fine is not ideal, but it's still fine.

Ideal would be more like 6' and 200.

I think it borders a bit on too heavy but that wasn't what was being debated.

The question was if curvy Barbie was real, how much would she weigh. Rakehellion thinks "at least 220", a few people disagreed so he posted that photo of Ashley Graham, who's only around 200. Personally I think curvy Barbie would be 170-180 tops if real so I tracked down that other photo.

I think that's a moot point, since I doubt anyone with those proportions would even exist. The limbs are relatively normal, but have you ever seen someone with such a small rib cage and waist with such large hips?

kids have influence in what parents buy them.

they did a study with 2 dolls. both were exactly the same (including clothing) except one was black and the other was white.

black kindergarten aged girls picked the white dolls overwhelmingly to play with.
they asked them why. they said white is better. 🙁

I predict the same response. being skinny is better

Holy shit. Moonbeam was right. Some people actually do hate themselves.

When will pot bellied Ken be available??

It will be "Dad Bod Ken".

He'll have a beer belly. A slightly balding head. A wrinkled tshirt that says "Sports" on it. He'll be holding a 6 pack of beer and a bag of chips. And he's packaged with the Barbie Minivan.
 
That actually don't look fat at all to me. Hell, looks like that Barbie would weigh less than 70% of eHarmony girls I see. 🙁

Obvious photoshop.
 
people really think that 200lbs for a 5'9 chick is fine and not fat? seriously?

that's borderline obese for BMI (and yes i know BMI is pretty much worthless)

no wonder we have an obesity epidemic on our hands.

1. Borderline =/= is.
2. If they have any muscle that 200 will probably look fine on them. Find someone that goes outside once in a while and it will be fine.
2a. If it's worthless then why even bring it up?

I'm waiting to see Ken's friend, Dave, the Fat Cop with his own box of donuts.

What does it matter?
They're all the same.
Thin, fat, dark, or fair.
They're smooth and hairless,
when you look down there.
And you know you do.


Thank you very much! I'll be here all night.

i brought it up because it's worthless for people such as myself who workout and are athletic built with muscles, which is about 10% (yes made that number up) of the population. i'm 5'11 and about 205lbs right now, which is on the smaller side for myself compared what i typically am. but shoulder injuries suck ass.

that barbie is not a workout warrior, nor are about 99.99% of women (made that number up too) who are 5'9 and weigh 200lbs.

oh and you are still a fatass if you are "borderline obese".
