A girl who looks like the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is probably high maintenance and way too into herself. A little extra weight is actually desirable.
A girl who is carrying an extra 50 pounds of bulk needs to drop some of it, stat. If a girl weighs so much that its unhealthy, that is a huge turnoff. I'm almost 24, and the girls I'm interested in are about the same age. At this point, if a girl can't get her weight into check, she's probably got other issues that I don't want to deal with. Maybe she's a smoker, or she drinks too much, or who knows what else?
For reference, I'm a shade under 6 feet tall, about 157 lbs. I probably weighed about 190 when I went away to college, and I lost some weight every year that I was away.
yeh i agree with you on tha...I mean i've dated one guy who was meaty ( i guess you can say). Didnt make me lessa ttraced to him, and at that time i had shallow friends and they were like wat to do you see in him, hes kinda big and shit..and i didnt care. And now i look back at him and i look at the guys ive dated now..skinny. It all depends on the person. I don't have issue with weight, except like when you said, when it causes a health problem . If your that big, and you can help it but you dont want to, then you have issues within yourself that you need to look into changing. But as far as a lil weight, you need the extra cushion for the pushin :naughty:
and for referece: im about 5'7, and about 120-125lbs. i've gained and lost weight since being in college for bout 2.5 years now. But i can say that i lost weight cuz freshmen year i got food poisioning (didnt eat for bout 3 days) sophomore year got a really bad stomach virus (didnt eat for bout another 3 days) and this semester i've gotten the stomach virus that practically the whole campus got(didnt eat for about a week)..but now im at a weight that i am happy with, and im going to maintain it. I work out to tone up, and just run..keep my metabolism up
