When you hear BBW, what do you think?

[robel12550]

In a perfect world (and let me know when you find one), attitude is all that matters. Getting real though, the aspect of "BBW" is highly subjective. (What about a woman who is "drop dead gorgeous" yet doesn't state she's "attractive"? Don't know how many I've run into over the years. Don't know if they were playing a game or really had a low self esteem level.)

Though photos and stats maybe "faked", until you meet someone, that's all you have to make a decision. As far as weight goes, there's a little tool that can be used called the "BMI" (Body Mass Index). Google or Yahoo and you'll find a calculator which you can plug the height and weight (and age in some cases) into and find relatively how the medical profession views their relative healthiness.

Don't know how many times I've seen photos on the ad sites where the person looks proportional yet their stats seems to indicate otherwise. Discrepancies are effectively grounds for not considering the profile further. (Especially when posting as a "couple" and then the text always reads "I", "me", "my".)

The problem with the body mass index is that it's not always an accurate indicator of height/weight proportionate. My BMI is 25.0, which is just at the "overweight" threshold. You can tell from my avatar I am not overweight. We have a friend whose BMI is 18.6, putting her in the "normal weight" range, yet she is so skinny she doesn't have an ass to speak of. She's a size 1.

I think HWP is very subjective. What's more important then a number such as what the scale says or BMI is "how does someone look". That is the real test. If you feel someone looks good then the number is nothing but a number.
