Why are 165lbs > 185lbs women calling themselves "mid size" when they are fat as phuck?

[Identikit_Radiohead]

From what i read, healthy range for a 5ft4 woman is 108lbs to 142lbs. So "mid size" would be 126lbs, and given some leeway for muscle mass (+/- 5 pounds) around 121-131lbs, no?

This is why "a picture is worth a 1000 words".

I would look at the impact of "body positivity" and related concepts that have been pushed in recent years.

Add in with the tendency for most women to rate themselves and their friends as 10s.

And also how, the average weight / fat percentage has been steadily on the rise for decades.

Somewhere between those issues is where I would make my guess.

Women Will describe themselves as all sorts of nonsense ..

BBW /Big Beautiful woman = fat AF

curvy lady = fat n chunky

and then the cropped close up photos to try cat fish on the apps

Ahh, I almost forgot about that photo rule;

Full body -> no surprises
Chest up -> curvy
Shoulders up -> large
Face only -> xl or larger

To make themselves feel better obviously

That navel is wide enough to be confused with her ...

Their thought process is, presumably, similar to that of Dwayne Johnson, Joe Rogan, Chris's Hemsworth, Kumal Nanjani, Hugh Jackman... Every prominent Hollywood actor,,who continues to pretend that their gruesomely jacked physiques are "natural", and not primairly the result of heavy steroid abuse:

Facing the truth can be momentairly uncomfortable, thus MOST PEOPLE create end runs around doing so

Whats your mission exactly ?

The woman in that picture , you probably wouldn't even register in her mind. She will have TONS of orbiters .

She is far from ugly, and if she loses a couple of pounds she will be unstoppable while you will still be complaining.

I seriously dont understand the goal behind threads like these...oh well..

Bodyweight standards and dress sizes have shifted so that female consumers don't feel fat when shopping. An average BMI woman in the 1990s would be considered "skinny" today.

They say "there`s more of me to love" = fat. Might as well just say "easier to see"

Life's gotten dull, ever since Cinemax After Dark went the way of the brontosaurus. Gotta trek into rural Congo,

To encounter one of the latter now

Goes without saying, posting on social media is infinitely less strenuous than hiking through the jungle, ergo most folks prefer chose to engage in that first activity

We always hear about shrinkflation happening with food but no one is talking about how the opposite is happening with women.

More cushion for the pushin'.

True, they have lot of orbiters online on ****ty sleazy dating apps who throw some meat into dark corners. But none of them are quality high value men, or well-to-do slim/fit/healthy bmi average-looking white men who respect themselves and have college educations. Most of these pigs get pumped and dumped by some dusty fetishist.

You would never see a black or hispanic male model or athlete, a doctor from Turkey, a wealthy land owner from South Africa, a university teacher from Switzerland, a professor from south Korea or Japan get with some disgusting, fat, pig like plus+ sized creature. More like some low income black or a street sweeper from Venezuela , or a fat taxi driver or chubby fastfood-line-cook from Mexico who would get with one.

One's personal weight and appearance is 100% under the control of the individual. Someone that allows themselves to get overweight indicates a absence of discipline to do what is needed to be healthy. It's not about looks, it's about character.

When I see someone that is overweight, I do not think they look terrible, my first thought is that they do not have enough respect for themselves or discipline.
