Dude, there's no disguising it, the woman in the photo is obese. Nothing that couldn't be taken care of with a few months of diet and exercise, but still.... It's funny how many guys on C-D complain about fat women, obese women, then they post photos of chubbies and tubbies as the new hotties. There's a thread on the beauty forum that shows a woman like the one you posted in a bathing suit, saying she's a new plus-size model phenom, and most of the guys said she was disgusting. But here, you're salivating to the same type.
Whatever floats your boat. But it doesn't mean she's not obese.
As you can see, 153 pounds looks good on her but most other women in this world who weigh more than 153 pounds I will more than likely find to be physically (body) unattractive. But because of how this girl is put together, she's considered to be SEXY. It really does depend on the package.
Ashley Graham is 5' 9" and 170 pounds (not too far off from Annie) but her body looks COMPLETELY different. Fit is in world.....FIT IS IN!!!
There's a big difference between overweight and obese, Ruth4Truth. It seems as if you use the two terms interchangeably.
haha, no, it's some of the guys around here who use it interchangeably. But how telling that you don't know the difference! It's like they say: people are so used to obesity in their region that they've come to view it as merely overweight. The woman in that photo is more than merely overweight. She's crossed the line to obese. "Obese" doesn't mean morbidly obese. It means BMI of around 30 or more, and more than 30 or so lbs. overweight (depending on height).

You can see that some of her weight comes from muscle mass. So she's able to make the extra weight look good, because it's not flab. Also, 153 is probably on the high end of normal healthy weight for her height, anyway. 153 for 5'7 is right where they should be; it's thin and trim for medium-boned 5'7-s, if they work out regularly.

So, here are the physical body specifications of 2 gals:
5'7", 124 lb, 20% body fat
5'10" 166 lb, 24% body fat
Who, in your mind would have a more attractive body shape.
For me, its 1 all the way. Skinny and fit looks amazing on women.
Hefty, um...., not so much.
I can't really answer the poll. I suppose #1 is closer to what I find attractive than 2 but , generally speaking, I find petite and proportionate to be my head turner. My now finance' is just scratching 5:2" and tips in at just a shade over 100# without clothing and gear. I've never seen a more beautiful woman. So, attractiveness, and "beauty" are pretty relative, and individually specific.
Truthfully, I have met gals , who I , intitially saw as attractive, and then they started talking, and ruined that perception. There are a lot of other things, besides weight and height, and other physical features , that go into my estimation of "attractiveness". Especially as I've aged, its gotten a lot more complicated.
Yes, sure. You can go into any women's gym and see obese women exercising like that. Ashley Graham is a size 16 model, a Plus-Size model. At a 16, she's obese. As a 12 and 14, she'd be "overweight", but at 16, she's obese. And she's owning it, she's ok with it, and is breaking ground as a Plus-Size model. But if you go onto the thread about her in the Beauty forum, you'll see that some guys aren't impressed with the fat-is-ok movement. //www.city-data.com/forum/fashi...-model-si.html
But, whatever. It's ok to like big women. (The women are thrilled to be liked!) Just don't try to tell us they're not big. Own your preference for plus-sized women (like iknowftbll, here ).
