Do average folks have it tough or do they have it made for them?
Yes, for sure. I fantasize more about neighborhood moms and coworkers than I do any movie stars or models. In fact, I often find 45 year old moms more physically attractive than their 22 year old daughters.

I think it depends on what you think is 'average'. I've had guys say they think Sports Illustrated models are average, or that models bodies are average.



I know plenty of guys who would call this 'obese' or at the very least, fat.

The example you gave made me change my yes to a maybe. 5'9" 200 pounds? Isn't that heavy/ overweight? And aren't most ladies shorter than 5'7"? I thought average height for a woman was 5'4" - 5'5"? Average people in general sure, but I think 200 pounds for a 5'9" man sounds too heavy.

Those are not average, those are overweight.


Try asking the same question with actually "average" people. Not what overweights american are trying to pass off as average in todays society.

Try 5'9" and 170 and 5'7" and 135.... I find many women that sized very attractive. Not ideal, but sexually attractive, yes.

I am not talking about a 5/10 person. I am talking about your average American.

But heavy is what I see when I go outside to run errands. People that aren't chubby or worse are uncommon. I see more obese or overweight people than people at a healthy weight.

Edit: I do live in the south, though.

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that you seem to have a rather huge disdain for overweight and obese people, judging by your posts here. Of course you're going to notice people you dislike moreso than the people you're fine with.

Physical attraction is important but its how their personality is. They can be hot as hell but if they are shallow....buh bye.

A damn shame too. The American idea of average is pretty screwed up.
