I think people's interpretations of average will vary greatly. With age i'm sure it will vary as well.

This woman is a size 16...this is what I'd call "average".

(That chick in the middle may be the "ideal" but she's far from "average".)

I agree. I've never had a guy reference an "average" figure and mean someone that was overweight. Statistically, the average woman IS overweight, here in the U.S., but men generally are not making statistical references.

Uhhh...not that you would know this, but I'm built very much like her and think we both look good!
P.S.- For a "defensive tackle" body, look no further:

That may be statistically average, but it is overweight. And that is not what the guys I talk to, mean, when they use the term "average".

Afraid so...at least me and the girl in the photo don't have to wear a men's size 44 shirt like Rosie...hence "linebacker".
