Anyone who vehemently stands by and uses BMI as an indicator of of fat levels does not deserve to post in my threads..
I have seen BMI thrown around here so much its sickening.
My BMI is over 30+. According to that stupid logic I am obese. However my bodyfat is around 10%, so I am obviously not obese.

For guys that lift such as yourself, BMI holds no value.
But your gf? It IS a perfectly fine indicator of her weight distribution.
Sorry dude, but your just being ultra picky. In the name of the relationship, you should let it go. In the name of the standards you have set due to your overabundance of machismo (read: joke, haha) leading to your insane amount of dating options, she may not be 'as hot'.
What is more important, the current gf gaining 10 lbs, or starting over with another person who may be 'more fit', but less of a match mentally ?
I remember thinking like that at one point. hahahahha, ahh, if only life had remained so simple, that bein concerned about the gf gaining weight was actually important.
Sad thing is, I'm not that much older than the OP.
Things change...... quickly.
who cares as long as she is healthy and takes care of herself?
stop dating and getting yourself in committed situations if you want to mold people to your own ideals and get a FB. it should be easy since you admittedly dont have any issues "getting girls"
I wonder if OP became disabled and gained a few pounds, his girlfriend would be on here asking the same question.
When most people are on top of the world, they don't think about how great they have it.
Most want more. The conquest doesn't end there. IME, many many guys think like the OP. And for some guys, it comes back to bite them. But then, some guys wind up with Angelina Jolie...
hmm, I need more, what can I.... well that moon looks good, what about Mars? Why don't I go after THAT.
Satisfaction comes from within, not from what others/items/jobs bring. Some people have to fall to learn this. Some fall and still never learn.
Listen, she is 19. Women gain weight as they age (PEOPLE gain weight as they age). If you are having a problem now, you will have a BIGGER (oh! a pun!) latter. I haven't seen you address whether she has even gone up a clothing size?

If BMI is not valid for your GF because of muscle, then you really shouldn't be complaining about 10 pounds. If she is not overly athletic or muscular, BMI probably is a valid measure, and with that she is still within a healthy range.

Any reputable physician or dietitian will tell you that BMI is a great guide unless someone is an athlete or has a muscular build. Indeed, it says as much right on the NIH site: Assessing Your Weight and Health Risk
So kindly get off your high horse about whether people "deserve" to post on your threads. You don't own City-Data, and frankly, the more you post here, and the more you dig your heels in, the more it becomes apparent that you do indeed have control issues.
To all those suggesting dumping her over this, I never considered it. Just trying to determine the future if it will get worse

I have been single 4 out of the last 6 years. I typically stray from committed situations.
The last thing I need is that again. I am basically a sex addict when I am single and I'm doing my best to move on past that life.
