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

my bad.


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.

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.

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.

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."
