"Body type"

Have you ever read online dating profiles where people state their “body type” to be “athletic”? Have you then proceed to look at the pictures not to only find out that (1) there are NO full body pictures – to corroborate this statement; and (2) find all sorts of “head shot” pictures that show… a double chin?

Do you really think we won’t notice you’re chunky just because you STATED you were “athletic”? What about IF we meet, and I expect to see an “athletic body”, like you have claimed? Do you really think you can get away with that? -- I honestly I don’t see how! I am sorry but playing ping pong or watching sports on TV doesn’t give you an “athletic” body nor will make you look “athletic” when you are obviously carrying pounds on your face and neck… and possibly on your torso.

Oh and… NO! “prefer not to say” doesn’t make you look any good either. Just be honest with yourself! Either way, those picture speak for themselves.

Somehow, somewhere, the definitions of “athletic”, “average”, and a “few extra pounds” lost their real meaning and now it just makes it even more … uh… “interesting” to browse through these online profiles.

This just keeps getting better and better.

**I found these definitions surfing the world wide web. Hopefully it will help you understand these body type "parameters" and if you're the honest type, you will fix your profile accordingly.**

Thin:No body fat, to negligible body fat, has the body of a professional model (Male or Female)

Athletic:Just that, body is toned, no flab, and this is clearly different then Thin, Athletic is Athletic

Average:Not Thin, exactly Average is what it means, you are the right weight for your height, and are not A Few Extra Pounds, but you are not Athletic because you are not toned.

A Few Extra Pounds:Just this, you would need to lose 15 pounds or less to be in the Average Body Type

Between A Few Extra Pounds & BBW or Bear Like:Would need to lose 16 pounds or more, but not a BBW or Bear Like

BBW:Just that, a Big Beautiful Woman

Bear LikeJust this, the male equivalent of a BBW.
