 Definition of H/W proportionate
Hi all, I hope this isn't a rerun of an old post as I don't have time to go back and read them all. I have read in many personal ads the requirement for height/weight proportionate? One in particular I just read sounds like a great invite to a party in our area BUT the H/W proportionate was thrown out there so many times and so solidly that I don't think I would dare to go or ask to go. Now I know the technical definition of H/W Prop. would be to go by your doctor's chart of your expected weight. Mine is about 170 lbs+/- a few @5'8" 45 yo., I have to say that if I weighed 170 lbs I would look like death warmed over or a returning POW at best. I currently weigh 220 and do have a belly, but I do not look fat. I have no double chin, I am just a thick solid guy. I am not an overeater or a beer drinker. I am at "my" normal weight (which means to me that I eat normal portions and am active, I feel good). I do feel I could lose a few lbs though. What I would love to hear from all of you are your opinions on what is h/w proportionate and what is accepted? Thanks for taking the time. P & L
