(And yes, I did list myself as accordingly) If it's not average, then what should it be listed under? I'm only asking, because I have no clue what "average" should be. |

Average would be the combined weight of all of a group divided by the number of individuals in the group. The average isn't the ideal.
Stats are from the CDC in 2004 In people older than 20, both men and women were a little more than 24 pounds heavier than in the early 1960s. By 2002, average weight for men was almost 191 pounds; for women, average weight was 163 pounds. |

The AVERAGE size of a woman in the US is a size 14/16, I'm a 9 does that make me below average?
Uhm, no, I could lose 20lbs, but I carry it well. So I'm average I think. |

Well, I am only asking because on another site I selected average and was told a few times that I was not. Guess some people's ideal of average is different than others. Thanks for the response. |

David I think most people confuse average with what they see as "normal". I think most women lie about thier weight, & people have no idea what "average" is. The average American is overweight.

Like I said, it was because I was told I was not average on another site and was just wondering the opinion of people here. Seems to be a much more friendly bunch on this site... |

Maybe it should say small, medium, large, extra large, obese. I don't even think it should say that much. Slim, average, and extra large would be good enough for me. Most people nowadays have a little meat on their bones. I mean seriously, what's wrong with a guy having a bit of a gut, or a woman having a little extra cushion? At my age it's pretty much the norm. I just think as long as you are sensible about your eating habits and do a little something to get some form of exercise, then you're okay in my book. JMHO |

I like a tall guy, weight has nothing to do with it.... If you wanna say average say average, if you wanna say your a whale, say you're a whale, I'll decide when I meet the guy if he is "sloppy" then no... A few extra pounds, that's just kinda yummy... too skinny, that's kinda yummy too... a body builder type...EWW no thanks.
