To me, a few extra pounds, which is my selection, means that I weigh 190, when I should weigh maybe 170 or so. I think most americans are in that catagory from what I have seen and read. Dennis


I am 5' 8" and weigh 200lbs.

My doc says I should weigh around 165. My build is naturally stocky.

According to the doc, I am " obese ".

According to me, I carry a ' few extra pounds ', but I carry them well.

People can pretty much see how I am built by looking at my profile pics.
ive got almost 2 inches and 20 lbs on ya..
but i say "a few extra pounds"
my doc says "obese"
my bf says "perfect"

im a size 18 in womens.. (still in the misses sizes in most stores.. ) and i wear a tall.. (not easy to find!!)

What are guys really thinking when they read 'a few extra pounds?' Do they think that she has an extra 5-10 or an extra 30-50? Do they think curvy or fat? Just curious



It doesnt mean anything but "im not thin"! above that your guess is as good as mine.....lol

"I'm not fat.....I'm FLUFFY!!!!!"

But since Mike and Van didn't give us "fluffy" as an option, I chose to leave that without an answer. Why??? Because even though I am considered obese, I feel good about the person I am and I try not to use negatives about myself and those I care about.

I have never tried to lie about my size or weight on here, and once when I told a man here that he probably would never give me a second look if we met in person. I got chewed out right on that thread and he is now a very dear friend (because I found someone right after that) and I would love to go to Cape Cod to meet him one day.

If you want to check out what someone looks like, look at their pictures----when they have more than one up so you can tell it is recent---then decide if they are in the weight range you are looking for.

Just my $.02
