I'm over 191, but only 5'11". Apparently I'm fairly fat. Also, my girlfriend is 10lbs shy of "grotesque", according to Syringer.

Syringer - maybe you are bad at estimating people's weight, because there are PLENTY of people above those numbers.

How tall is she?

I'd say most girls who are 5'3" and 140lb are probably packing just a little more than they should be..

She's about 5'6", around 130lbs. In your original post, you said a 140lb woman was "usually grotesque".
 
Well obviously you have to take height into considerations fo these things. I was simply considering the average heights provided by the article as well. Cleary someone who's 5'2" is held to different weight standards than someone who's 6'2".

That said, 130 lb for a 5'6" woman is fine.
 
I generally like a chick that weighs a little more than me, so like about 162-172 on a 5'4" to 5'6" frame would be more cushion for the pushin.

Weights, however, have ballooned. The average weight of an adult man was 166.3 pounds in 1960 and 191 pounds in 2002, while the average weight for women went from 140.2 pounds to 164.3 pounds.

Living in California I have to say these results shock me, as the average person here is a good deal thinner, especially the women.

To see just a 140 lb. woman is usually grotesque enough, but 164 lb. to me makes her absolutely detestable to look at..AND when you consider that this is all on a 5'4" frame, the thought sends shivers down my spines. If I had to guess, the average weight for a woman around here is ~115-120 or so. And while I've seen a whole lot of men over 191 pounds..though those guys are usually 6'2" and above, it's rare to ever see a woman over 160 pounds.

So do these results seem skewed to anyone else, or is the rest of America just complete lardasses?

PS I searched for FAT which came up with nothing related to this article.

all the fat people are back east

When I went to the doctor, he told me that according to his charts I was an above-average weight. I'm 6'3" and weight 195 lbs. He did qualify that statement by saying that he personally did not believe I was overweight.
 
140lbs for a women isn't grotesque. You just have an unrealistic ideal of what women should look like because of all the media brainwashing you went through in your short life-span.
