How much is "A few extra pounds"?

[chickenfeet]

...which is why this thread is about "a few extra lbs on the INTERNET"!!!

my bad.

Going back to the girls I was burned on, one posted a picture of her from about 7 years before, that was before the extra weight, she probably put on almost well over 150 lbs and was close to 300 lbs, I dont know how many beholders would see her with her eyes and think shes a few extra pounds. It was also annoying that because of her weight she ran out of breath way too easily, she ran out of breath going from the Car to the ticket line at the theater, then again from the Concession Stand to the actual theater, we had to stop so she could catch her breath. No she didnt have asthma, it wasnt a disease that made her fat, it was her eating habbits. She was bragging that she put down nearly a whole chocolate cake by her self and the scarfed down a pizza. There was also that thing of her telling me she had contracted a stomach virus and was at the hospital earlier that day because she was sick. I didnt appreciate that one either, dont come around me if you have a virus, I dont want it.

The other girl was of less weight, but still I doubt very many would look at her and behold she was average. Very few if any will behold me and say I am buff or atheletic. Im slender and because that option is there I choose it, I dont like lying and I really dont appreciate being lied to. Honesty people, honesty.

why don'tcha stop looking for chicks online then? ur obviously distrustful from past experiences. heres a thought, lay off the net for a bit. see what the real world has to offer ya. at least in the RW you can get a up-to-date visual on what people look like, and narrow it all down based on your perogative. cuz uh.. most girls are not gonna give you their stats, online or off. well, unless u hit up a pro-ana site.. heh..

Well, it could mean just about anything! For some a few extra pounds is 5-10, for others it's a lot more. Maybe you could ask specifically how overweight they are? I know most females don't like giving their weight, but knowing their height and weight might give you a better picture of what their stature is. If she says she is 5'2" but weighs 180, well that's pretty large for that height. It just depends. Not all people who have a few extra pounds look fat or gross ya know (that was more directed at Tuffguy, but anyway)

Already quit lookin online, though Im not really lookin in person either. Right now I have found myself to be rather content. This is not to say I dont get lonely from time to time or that I dont desire to have that certain someone but I have quit worrying about it. If something better comes along in the mean time, as long as Im smart enough to catch it then great, until then though, eh.


I tired of the personals, theyre the ones who sold my email address to places that sell porn, viagra, cures for baldness and get out of debt the Christian way sites, I was never quite sure that there was an un-Christian way to get out of debt, I suppose robbing banks or prostitution rings or something would count, but anyways. I also got the one from Adult Friend Finder , whew, not the place a person goes to find a Christian relationship.

Xen_Antares, what you described (the concern with people NOT being honest) is simply the risk you take meeting people over the internet period. There are people that lie - about their weight, marital status, income, height, if they REALLY are a christian, etc.

Its not mutually exclusive to just their physical attributes. I guess what I'm saying is that I hope your main concern is with honesty PERIOD and not just in regards to their looks.

Finding a good Christian mate is indeed difficult when you try to do it in your own might.

[Tuffguy]

I'm super thankful for my gf being accepting of my non-fatness. Its nice to have someone who isn't superficial and doesn't judge me on my appearance.

Oh,,that felt so good to get out in the open.

I used to have to wear skis in the shower, so now I'm rather self-conscious here! OK, you can all run away now! :^)

 

[jepvc4]

I'm 6'2", 210 lbs, and by medical standards, I'm overweight.

Too much lean body mass...sigh...At least I still have a 34" waist.

Boy, you girls that are calling yourselves overweight are depressing me. By the pictures of your faces, you're all dead gorgeous. What you mean by a few extra pounds is, "I'm soft and huggable."

Overweight doesn't keep you from getting a date, but being ugly like I am will I'll have to put up a picture to prove it.

 

[BeautyForAshes]

You guys are too funny!

Thank you! I'll take soft and huggable over fat anyday!

What! People actually putting up pictures so you can get to know them as they write?! I'm getting shocked... :^)

 

[Stanfi]

Oh BTW I'm not fat, I'm "A few extra pounds"!!!

 

[hockeysistah12]

Yes, I'm not a fashion model like every man want and including those who profess christ, And the only other problem which I am not datable is my color, which is black.

Ok, here is the question. You meet soemone on the net, and they describe their body type as "A few extra pounds". What do you expect? A little extra padding? or belly to the knees?

If I'm meeting someone on the net, I'd request a picture first and an explanation of any current deviations from said picture if said picture is dated.

"A few extra pounds" - on dating sites at least - generally means overweight - either moderately or obese. Some people describing themselves as such post pictures - that's where that generalization comes from: The only person I've met in person from chatting was pretty hot - definately NOT overweight.

 

[eutychus]

I concur with the above poster -- if you want to know what somebody looks like before you meet them, ask for a picture. As far as the "few extra pounds" I think it should be ten pounds overweight, which is still twenty pounds shy of obesity, and seven pounds past "a few."

A few extra pounds can also look differently on people of different heights. An extra 10 pounds on someone who's 6'4" will look much differently than it would on someone who's 4'10." Definitely ask for a current picture.
