yea, she's thicker

i dated a girl that was 5'7" 140 but she had D's. She wasnt thick really because she was an athlete and a lot of it was muscle.

HOWEVER if she was 5'7" 140 with B's or C's and not an athlete....... she would have been pretty thick

6'0" and 195 lbs. But I am pretty built/tone. Most people I know think I am skinny. My cycling weight was 185 lbs and I was pretty cut. Now though, I got a little flub. :( Sucks.

Some of my friends are 5'9" 165 lbs, and they are guys and athletic. For a girl, that is a little on the husky side

I know a girl, she plays soccer, she's probably about 5'9" and she mentioned being 185 when we somehow were talking about weight, and I'd sure as hell go for her. Heck, I did try. Big butt and strong thighs and large chest, proportioned just about right I think.

Well, you know the famous quote from This Is Spinal Tap, "The wider the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, if you know what I mean..." :D

EDiT: God, I love that movie.

Shouldn't matter if other people think she's fat.
The only thing that matters is what you think.
Even if you do think she's fat, does it really bother you?
Or are you worried about other people's reactions?

The girl I'm dating now is 5'4" and 140-145 lbs, and she's definitely not fat..so I can see 5 inches would add another 20 lbs

Yea, know what you mean. I knew a girl's whos waistband didn't quit.. kept on going and going... took me two days to get out of that quicksand.. by then, I was hungry and tired... but I did feel like lawerence of arabia.. yea, stopped hitting it because I thought I might one day get lost and nobody would be able to find me :)

5'9 165 for a girl? Overweight, but not obese. BMI in the upper 20's I believe.

Expect a girl who's probably not so fat as she is a little thick (build wise). Her parents are probably tall.

Actually, there's a good chance she'll have large sweater puppies.

Exactly. Worry about what's acceptable to you rather than what other people think.

I dated a gal 5'7" and 145-150 lbs, and while she sorta had a big butt, she was absolutely fine to me. She had a small waist, so all it did was make her look like she had hips, and to me that was sexy.

lol...bunch of geeks who hit it with the kb/mouse/monitor and their favorite pr0n site saying this girl is fat. You all need a bit of perspective. Girl sounds fine to me...I like 'em curvy....but I defiantly go for the hooters (my wife loses/gains weight in her boobs...first)

Real women have curves. :)

I'd have to see her. It all depends on how she's built. 165 would be very fat if she has no tits, a flat, but flabby ass and is out of shape. On the other hand, if she's voluptuous and in shape, 165 could be VERY sexy.

At any rate, go on the blind date. Even if she's not your type she may be interesting to spend time with.

And for all you know, she might reject YOU.

Dude, 5'9 160lbs is a big girl. It's not a matter of opinion.

Big != "Very Fat" as you said above.

Word. Take a look at female athletes, esp. soccer players. They're not fat at all, just have very powerful legs, which are good for wrapping around your torso. ;)

What i am saying is...if she is fat..that might be ok.

Good for you, bro - seriously. You are a mature, thinking adult who's not letting public perception skew/stifle your own feelings.

There was a study done in which they photographed hundreds of naked women (in a clinical way) and listed their height and weight for examples of body composition.

It was simply amazing how different women of the same height and weight could look. One would be tubby, flabby and nasty looking, and the other voluptuous and sexy as hell.
