quick help! 5'6" 140lbs what kind of body?

All right, doing a little google search popped this one: Person 1; Person 2.

Each individual is 5' 6" and weighs 140 Lbs. Now, I make no claim to the authenticity of the pics, nor do I endorse the site, so proceed at your own risk. I just hope it helps answer your question. The lady you're enquirying about is likely to look like that in weight, except if she's muscular. In that case, her body build would be different. But hardly do you see much girls in volleyball who are muscular, at least not from my experience. Such girls would much rather pursue basketball. :Q 😛

Are you insinuating that the girl in question here is behind bars?
 
Sluggo, don't start with me. I explicitly stated that I was not endorsing anything or making any statements about the site. The point was for the pic and weight consistency. Don't start with me now. LOL! I have no business with the site and have no plans to explore it at all. Google, our friend, gave that result, and it was the most convenient of all. The other results gave nothing like a jpg file. 😛

Well she told me she used to play bball until some injury. Anyway I was promised a pic Monday so we'll see.

If she did play b-ball and was the same weight as she is now, then she might actually be muscular.

In any case, do share with us when you do get to see what she looks like. 😀

Except I was talked into a blind date before with a girl who also played vball and was like 5'6" and she was CHUBBY. But then a really good friend of mine (whom I might actually go on a date with next week, but that's a maybe and an entirely different story) is REALLY hot and she's 5'6" 135lbs but she's on the rowing team so she's pretty slim. I dunno I'm just trying to get some feedback before I go off on another "adventure". ahem. yea.
 
6ft 1 and 135 pounds is hardily the norm,nor is it an accurate yardstick to measure what other women look like at varying weights. I'm 5ft 8 1/2 and can go 140 and I don't look fat at all,in fact I'm told I look long and lean 🙂
 
"You must be skinny as hell.. 🙁"

Okay, I'm glad you changed your emoticon from disgust to sad face 'cuz I was about to scream at you. You were pretty skinny when I saw your pic. I'm a girl at least. Seriously though, it sounds like I'm this skeletal thing, but I'm not. I mean, I'm skinny quite all right, but I'm well proportioned, not just plain straight body without any curves. Seeing is believing. You would understand if you saw me in person. 😀
 
It depends entirely on her mucle mass. If she has little muscle and would otherwise be a stick fugure she could be very fat--if she is vaguely mesomorphic, she could be very lean. A lot of people that have little muscle mass *look* very small (until you grope them) and vice versa. So, the short answer is: it's within a normal ht/wt range 🙂
 
OK... I have to chip in on a couple of things.....

first....... one of my ex-girlfriends was about 5'4" and 135ish...... she was far from fat and not even really chubby. She was a distance runner, though not a good one I admit. In her case she was VERY curvy, with a pretty muscular body. I had no complaints and I guess nobody else did since she got homecoming queen..... so she could be pretty hot.

second...... call it shallow or not, looks are important! It's all perspective, though.... It is very important to be physically attracted to the person. Is it the only important thing or even the most important, I hope not.... but you do need to be attracted to them. Most people can't get to know everyone around them well enough to make a decision about if it's the person you wanna end up with or anything like that, looks play an important part. It's a factor that plays into whether you want to get to know a person better. You see a good looking girl and it peaks your interest.... maybe you see a girl help an old lady across the road and that peaks your interest, but something has to initially peak your interest and it's often looks.
Looks vary in importance to people also. Some people are very visual people and might place more emphasis on looks. I happen to be very picky about even the looks of my toothbrush. Am I shallow.... no, not at all. I am just a very visual person as are many people. Anyway..... it's late and I'm rambling most likely..... better go to sleep so I can wake in 3 hours to go pick up some hot deals from Bestbuy....



night Anandtech!

True, Geekbabe. I don't represent the norm. However, there's still a clear difference. Someone doesn't have to be skinny in order to be good-looking, but to dub them as skinny when they're not is silly in my view. Someone in between skinny and plump is all right. Nothing wrong with that if it suits the persons involved.

"second...... call it shallow or not, looks are important! It's all perspective, though.... It is very important to be physically attracted to the person.

Preach it! I so agree with you. I won't lie to anyone. Physical comes first. There were some people whom I got infatuated with because of their personalities, but I never went after them. My sense put me in check and reminded me that physical matters too. I like my man to look acceptable physically. He's got to be in shape, and have a decent facial appearance. I'm attracted to his physical appearance first before the other. I expect him to look for that in me too. And if tells me that's not what he's looking at, he's a liar. I would have to turn him off. Additionally, I want to cut down my chances of any children I make having to deal with weight issues. On the other hand, I can understand women who have had kids or are married. More power to them. But whilst I'm single, I'll work it out and in the event that I have kids or gain weight, I'm in the gym and shaking it off. 😛
 
Man 6'1 and 135 is thin, but I guess I'll have to see it to believe it. You dont happen to have a
fast metabolism?

she's on a varsity volleyball team too, but I dunno, 140lbs could mean a lot of different things ... anyone got any pics of someone that height/weight? don't ask me why I'm asking just help PLEASE I need to know SOON

5'6 140 isnt bad. You said shes on the varsity volleyball team. I suppose she would have tone on her body
since shes active in some sport. Maybe shes got all the right curves maybe not.

Good luck with the blind date.

But is a person "skinny" if they have long limbs and a higher amount of muscle mass at a --lower body fat -- than the person without muscle (and perhaps a higher body fat %) ? A muscular woman does not necessarily look "muscular" -- is Demi Moore chubby?
 
humm...anyone say it yet? where's the PICS 😀

aside from that, i dated a girl that was 5'6" about 120lbs and she was relatively thin. she wasn't athletic at all though, except for in one thing :Q, so 140 might not be bad at all.
 
So what if this girl is thin by your standards but has the worst acne in the world, beady eyes, buck teeth, and a huge nose?

And I certainly hope you're hot enough to live up to her standards, too, I'd hate to see you get dogged out for being ugly.
