Why do some women lie about their Body type?

A Few extra pounds.

Then they turn up on a date looking big enough to Kick Start Jumbo Jets at Heathrow Airport.

Maybe because the vast majority aren't even genuine profiles? Too many fakes and scammers here.

Maybe they do really believe that they only have average weight or a few extra pounds.

This makes sense. They may be in self-denial of their unhealthy weight, or they may not want to be labeled as obese.

Pictures and video chat can help you have a better idea of size and save you the in person awkwardness.

If it's a big deal just flat out ask them their weight range.

Perhaps it's a world view/ semantics

The data is 5 years old, but I can't imagine it got better since....but truth is - most of america is fat.

For women:

27.5% is overweight
30.4% are obese
11.5% are severely obese

I'm assuming that the obese ones are simply putting themselves in the category of overweight and the severely obese are probably putting themselves in the obese.

I think it's a little bit denial, little bit ignorance on how the categories are defined and a little bit looking at their peers and using them as a yard stick.

well I have great figure

I Love Full Figured Gals.

I've been "heavy set" most my life. I've never been with a man who complained about my body (I figure they shouldn't be with me if it's a problem for them) I always felt insecure about myself. I never lie about my weight but I only send a body picture after I know they're ok with dating plus size.
Ultimately though it really does come down to health. In my younger years doctors told me I was healthy as I get old I'm having weight related health problems. It isnt fair to start a relationship when I'm not healthy. I don't want to be a burden to someone I love when I can change that.

Carebear :

This post was none too serious, created in response to the post "Why do men lie about their ages?"

I never lie about my age, but maybe I do need to wear a rug these days!

No offence meant to anyone.

Maybe they just want to be liked based on society's standard of an acceptable body type.

If I told a Woman that She had a Nice Body
would She Hold It Against Me ?

I, myself, have no reason to lie.

I, on the other hand, have plenty of reasons ;-)
I just don't.

I like to think of it as...

Bending the truth

Now rain can fall so soft against a window
Sun can shine so bright up in the sky
But daddy always told me "Don't make small talk"
He said "Come on out and say what's on your mind"
So if I said you have a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me

Hi Carebear and All beautiful women and handsome men,

A little bit out of topic, but maybe it can help someone.

People usually have free will what they want to choose to eat.
I can recommend you to check carnivore diet and some interesting videos e.g. Anthony Chaffee or Sally Norton videos on youtube.

Many people testified how this kind of diet healed them from different kind of diseases such as non alcoholic fatty liver diseases, type-2 diabets, insulance resistance, cardiovascular diseases, blood sugar, blad pressure, cancers, auto immune diseases, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and so much more or simply it changed their lifes.

In so many cases eating habbits and lack of knowledge about what food contains and how food is influencing on human body ( especially ultra processed foods ) these are the reasons why people are obese and unhealthy.

Thanks Oceane for Your Food Advice.

I Myself Prefer the Doctor Atkins Diet

That Happen to a Man I met inperson. He had that experience but still paid for her meal at a restaurant where they Met inperson. He treated her nice but when they departed he made it known there would Not be another meeting.

She told him, that's ok because she likes taller Men with a Muscular body build.
