the guys are not really looking at the pictures....they are still looking at the weights and what they conceive that weight to be.....just my opinion. I think the girl on the right looks GREAT!

It's hard to judge on this criteria. Remove the weight. Let's talk purely on how they look and ignore the fact that these are basically cartoon characters. Are we going to put up Daphne and Thelma from Scooby Doo too? The cartoon not the movie. The one on the right looks good to me. I'm not saying 180 lbs is a good weight but the image looks reasonable and attractive. Left one, a little toooo much. And not to be stupidly superficial but once upon a time I received a match that was standing next to a Christmas tree and the tree looked slimmer. Now I'm a 6'1" guy and weigh 212 (this morning). I don't have six pack abs. They are more like well... 12 pack abs. Actually, I used to say that when I weighed 226 lbs. Now I would more refer to them as a 10 pack. I doubt I will ever get to 6. I don't pretend to think I will. But... I think someone above said it looks like the left one "doesn't care for herself". That is my issue with women and weight. Because my ex-wife did not take care of herself. And weight was just one area.

In closing I would like to say I have seen women like the one on the right and maybe a wee bit heavier that were sexier and more attractive than some 120 lb or lighter women. And it was that attention they paid to themselves. The way they dressed. The hair, the makeup, fingernails, toenails etc.. You can just tell when a woman takes care of herself and wants to look good for HERSELF..

I think I agree with you. At that size, she's about the same size (or a little smaller than) as the average American woman. I'm very surprised by this.


It's like those Dove ads where the guys said "Oh my God these women are FAT!" Well the biggest one on the billboards was a size 10.....and the avg American woman is a size 14.


I think people are going by numbers. I wish we had posted the same pics without the numbers and gotten a sense for it.

I believe this is precisely why women lie about their actual weight....she knows the number will freak him out. Men don't have a clue what women really weigh (does anyone watch the biggest loser? most of the women start to look soo much better once they drop below 200, and some look really great in the 180 range).


If he likes the way she looks and feels....he doesn't need to know the number, unless he's really that freaked out about how close in weight she might be to him....cause that is just unfathomable to most guys.


Tyra Banks weighs in the 160's and Rachel Hunter in the upper 140's to 150's. They are models....think about it.

Men keep forgetting that muscle weighs more than fat.

Another good example would be America Ferrera from the show "Ugly Betty" she is a size 8-10 I think and she looks great.

The girl on the right is attractive. 180 pounds isn't even that bad if she is taller.
