kcjen24 0 #5 February 9, 2012 BMI is a crock of shit IMHO... they're trying to generalize what is considered healthy with only two pieces of information. Perfect example is me and my best friend. GIRL A: 5'9", 135lbs., works out regularly, eats good, small bone structure (size 5 ring) GIRL B" 5'9", 135lbs., never works out, eats shit, large bone structure (size 8.5 ring) I give you ring size for no other reason than to compare bone size. Yet we BOTH end up with the same BMI. Who is more healthy? Without the background on us both, you'd assume we're equal - not even close. Do I think models are too skinny? HELL YES... just not sure looking at BMI is the way to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #9 February 9, 2012 If she's trim like that with definite muscle tone? then I'm ok with it. that picture.....I didn't really see any muscle tone to speak of - so (at least from that angle) it doesn't do it for me anyway. What's the point if clothes lay nice on her, but naked she's gaunt? Even more so, what's the point of dating a model that can't even carry her own groceries, let alone pack a rig, or finish the rock climb???? I like athletic builds on women, not thick, definitely not heavy, definitiely not skinny. ...

I can see certain advantages with "dead": 1. She doesn't need to listen to him talk about himself. 2. She will never gain weight. 3. She will never ask for a divorce.

No matter how many baths you give her... she's just going go get more and more ripe. No blowjobs. While she CAN be barefoot and in the kitchen, it just wouldn't be the same. No blowjobs. No blowjobs. KEEPING IT ON TOPIC: BMI is an outdated measurement and not effective for much of anything at all. I agree that models are too thin and really are setting ladies up for negative self-images, but BMI isn't the way to get it done. Elvisio "did I mention no BJs?"

billvon 3,080 #15 February 10, 2012 >I would say, that is what a normal human would look like when eating properly It's funny - back in the middle ages "eating properly" meant eating a lot. Peasants ate celery and nuts because it was cheap to grow and could be had on farms. The upper class ate meat. Thus a fat person was eating properly, and the skinny people were often skinny and malnourished. If you had to put the label "healthy" on someone it was the fattest person around. Now that we have all this food available "eating properly" generally means not eating much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpsalot-2 3 #16 February 10, 2012 You're right. In America, you need to tell the kids that being fat is normal, because of the way parents feed the kids ( less sit down, low fat dinners and more fattening, chemical filled fast food ), otherwise they would feel, well, embarrassed....duh.... You aren't from here, but are you aware, most lower grade sports events aren't even scored......we don't want the kids thinking they are losers ( or fat ). I'm not perfect...I know that, thru trial and error. I've won some, and I've lost some....I've been a skinny kid and adult, and I've been a fat adult. Kids aren't getting that experience anymore.....everything is just.......normal..........just my opinion of course...... Life is short ... jump often.

If you had to put the label "healthy" on someone it was the fattest person around. Now that we have all this food available "eating properly" generally means not eating much. I imagine this is because, back then, you were likely to die of something else before all that fat caught up to you. No sense in worrying about cholesterol if you're going to be killed by the lack of proper hygiene (or a flaming arrow). But now that we've got a lot of that figured out, we're starting to see what happens when we eat too much, or don't eat celery and nuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can see every vertebrae on that woman. That is not how a healthy back should look. Attached is a picture of a thin woman with a healthy looking back. Bones should not stick out like the model's in the link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanook 1 #21 February 10, 2012 I think you are using "healthy" as an opinion here. But it's hard to gauge whose "healthier". Your photo is a product of lights and airbrushiing. Shah's photo is taken in bad lighting pre-runway that is creating shadows. Now, I'm not saying that i'm into segosaurs. I'm not partial to "air cooled" women._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or at least one that was passed out.If #2 is the product of his parents,and the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree. Can you imagine the crap that the females in his family had to endure..They could even have to endure dealing with generations of #2's at the same time. A son could be worse than a daughter.
