LOL! I'm trying to figure out when you would administer this 'test.' Do you have her try the pants on at the beginning of the first date? Zipper up, it's a go. No zip, no date?
No it's at the end of the date after dinner (which HE pays for )

Peg,
That photo of the models was from a magazine in the UK. I believe UK sizes are about one size different (i.e. UK 12 is US 10).
It's two sizes actually, that's why we love shopping in New York! We get to drink cocktails, eat like Queens and go home with a case full of size 8 clothing! (it'd be a 12 in the UK).

Presumably its why you come shopping in London a whole lot less!

I prefer men to be over rather than under weight.

If I can still breathe; then they're fine.

Sometimes if they can support their own body weight sufficiently for me to breathe it's still fine but they need to be pretty too.

You're forgetting all the fine points that get brought up on 'weight' threads. For example....when you say you prefer 'overweight' to 'underweight'....are you actually referring to weight or to body fat content? When you say underweight....do you actually mean a man with very low body fat content (though he might be very big muscularly) or do you mean a man without any muscles? It's also very important for us to know what size clothes you like a man to wear.

Trixie, it's only one size. I buy clothes both there and here and I'm a US10 and a UK 12.

Oh.

All my American clothing (and there's lots of it from both coasts) is two sizes smaller than I think I am............. so maybe I'm smaller than I think I am when I'm shopping here.

But am I in actual fact smaller than my dates think? or am I actually bigger than they think? Or maybe my muscle bulk is bigger but my metabolic rate is faster or my body in clothing is smaller than without clothing or maybe my BMI is less unhealthy than it is healthy. Help me Jayjay!

It is two as long as you stick to high end clothes. I have a friend from Yorkshire. Never asked her about the UK but here I can fit in anything from a 2 to an 8. Go figure. I think it is because so few of our garments are made here

All forms of weight conversation is always interesting. I always have a ear to new information about weight loss, toning, what size a celebrity is, etc.

I think a man is overweight when you touch him and muscles just moves. Not like when skin loses elasticity but when your muscles mass is nonexistence. Also, I'm not a fan of the flat tire look on a man. Bellys are ok when its not too far over the belt.

I know my views are skewed when it comes to women and overweight because I consider myself overweight, even though according to my physicals I'm at a healthy weight, oh well.
With my original post the female he was referring to looks to have been about 5'7" maybe 160lbs.

I'd say that overweight is when it's clearly visible that someone carries around extra fat than is normal. For men this is usually seen in a pronounced belly or boobs. For women it's belly pooch, thick legs, and wide and pronounced buttocks.

I won't even get into how crazy I am about what is overweight for me.

OK I admit I looked at my gut when I read this

Another test for guys...if you look down, and you can't even see your.......big toe (), then you're overweight
