Noticed a lot of "Ideal Height" threads here but no one seems to be interested in a more important factor when it comes to health and one that the person can change themselves - "Weight".
Sure there are physicians and other health professionals who've created charts and studies on ideal health and weight, but I wanted to get everyone's input from a purely relationship/attractiveness viewpoint. Everyone seems to have an opinion on height (based on the answers in the other thread) so you must surely have an opinion on this as well.
Of course height is a contributing factor, but I think that ideal would be between 125 lbs - 135 lbs. Of course heavier if she's athletic/toned.
I will never ever see 135lbs. If I do, it's because I'm ill and not in a state I want to be. The lowest I've ever been was 145 and that was with extreme measures (i.e. unhealthy measures.)
I'm 6'1" and weigh 170 (granted, 10lbs of it is in my chest). I'm aiming to get back to 160/155.
The last time I saw 120 on the scale, I was in elementary school. LOL
Me too. I was 128 my junior year, when I was so into ballet. I'm six feet tall. I can't believe I thought I was fat then. I had a 22" waist and the bottom of my rib cage stuck out.
It was hard being 128 when the 5'2" cheerleaders were crying about weighing a buck-five.
Edited: Oops, sorry! I thought you said HIGH school.
Men have no concept of a woman's weight. When I was a size 6, I was practically underweight - I'm 5'10", and I was under 130 pounds. My body fat PERCENTAGE (which is far more important than weight) was at the bottom end of healthy.
Men STILL guessed I was size 2, and weighed even less than I did. If I weighed any less, my friends would have gone from making fun of how skinny I was, to being seriously concerned about it.
And I was athletic - doing marathons and triathlons - not all skin and bones.
So in my experience, men have absolutely NO PLACE guessing, assigning, or judging a woman's weight or body type - they simply have no concept of what is real or true.
People's bodies are as different as grains of sand on a beach...there is no "ideal" body weight you can apply across the board.
You have to take height into consideration and bone density too. For instance, my sister and I are the same height, but she is "dainty" and "petite". If she gains more than 115 pounds she looks chubby. Me however, I am more volupuous, if I weigh less than 150 I look way too skinny with a pointy chin and sunken in cheek bones!
So I say, the heck with weight charts - every woman (and man) has to find the right weight for optimum health of THEIR individual body
