This just tells me you're not slim or athletic either, and thus not too choosy.


You would be very wrong.
6’4 235 lbs, 13% body fat, 6 pack, PV, defined obliques, lift with trainer 2-3 days a week, do yoga 2 days a week, 20 min to an hour of cardio everyday.

I am choosy and this has almost always been my ideal woman.


At 6'4 nd 235 lbs you are ft yourself, thus your ideal woman is fat


?


the guy is fat not fit, pardon


I am that guy. You don’t have a clue of what you are talking about. 6’4”, 235 lb witb 13% body fat is not even close to fat. You really don’t understand how that works?



Absolutely. My son is an athlete 6’4 weigh 190 pounds. ExH was about same as well. You are about 45 pounds overweight. All these machines give you automatic fat ratio - you need to look at your fat face and the mirror to see


Not that guy but height and weight are not the whole story. If he has got 30 pounds of fat and the rest is muscle then he is fit, but if it's 50 pounds of fat then he's overweight.

When Arnold won bodybuilding competitions he was 6' 2" and 235 - officially "obese" but in fact not even close to obese.


That's what I got for you. Officially overweight. You are not Arnold and he was on serious steroids (now overweight as this mass goes into fat once you stop taking steroids). If you don't believe CDC I don't know what to tell you.

For the information you entered:

Height: 6 feet, 4 inches

Weight: 235 pounds

Your BMI is 28.6, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height. BMI is a screening measure and is not intended to diagnose disease or illness. For more information, visit About Adult BMI.


Your info is exactly why everyone says BMI sucks. It was invented by insurance companies. I suppose you think Shaquille O’ Neal was obese during his playing days when he was solid muscle. Because he was the poster child then for why BMI is crap.

Are your “athletic” husband and son bicyclists by any chance? They always look kind of sinewy. Or runners? Also stringy.


I know pro sports well: many athletes are gaining a lot of weight after retiring from sports, with very few exceptions. They take enhancements, eat a lot of protein, fats and it's very hard to change diet after retirement. They end up fat after age 50, like Arnold.

It's inherently incorrect to compare an average Joe to Tom Brady. An average Joe who is 235 lbs is not a real athlete anywhere near national level. He's a regular overweight man, who continues eating, and added some hard muscles beneath his fat. Now he thinks it's an ok weight since Tom Brady is also 235 lbs. No, it's not.


He literally had a scan that showed 13 percent body fat. That is not what the ordinary average Joe does.

You’re wrong. Deal with it.


So when you show being at top 20 in your sport in your state then I would believe you. For now I tend to believe CDC


Guy that is 6’4” 235 here again. On days I don’t work out with trainer I use the Thrst app. The man who is behind the app is Mike Thurston. Using your logic he has BMI of 30 (5’11”, 215-220). Google him, then come back and tell us on a scale of 1-10 how obese he is. Anything above a zero will prove that you are insane.


My Dh is 6’3 165lbs. He is very athletic. Does master swim 3x a week, runs daily and bikes. He’s very muscular and not bony. It’s hard to imagine how someone could be 70lbs more and not fat. I’m picturing Jason Momoa (who isn’t obese but not thin)


Does he lift anything? All he does is cardio!

DP. This thread is about body type but you know what? I don't buy this either. I have eyes. The older women I know who are naturally trim don't have faces that look more aged than the women who struggle with their weight. The world is not full of curvy older women with beautiful youthful faces. It's full of formerly curvy women who are downright dumpy in middle age, and whose faces look their age. A naturally thin woman also looks her age in the face, but with the advantage of looking better in clothes. That's it.

I know it is not fair but it is what it is.

You can certainly be athletic at the size but not very muscular. Look up FFMI. Even at very low body fat numbers, there's just not room for much muscle.


I agree with the woman above that 165 lbs seems to be a totally normal weight for not overweigh man. Saying that 235 pounds is all muscular tissue for men is similar to all these short 5'2 women claiming that their 150lbs weight is all from DD boobs. I call it BS: they are just fat. A max DD size boob is 800CC of human fat tissue, e.g. 1600 for 2 boobs. Human fat weigh less than water, thus it's 4 pounds of weight in 2 boobs max. The rest she has is fat in other parts of her body


No one said the difference between 165 and 235 lbs was all muscle. You can have two people the same height and same weight, that look dramatically different. Why is that so hard to understand?


Can you provide such an example please ? Photos of 175 lbs 6’3 men who look totally different in fatness

My face looks my age when thin and WAAY rounder and older when I add a few pounds.

If he swims with masters 3 times/week he’s very strong. It’s long distance freestyle - breaking water with arms, kicking. Water is very heavy hard to move particular long distance

No doubt he's stronger than a woman, which is no great achievement, but 6'3" and 165 pounds means he isn't very strong at all by male strength standards. Basically he's a skinny dork.

I've seen some 165 lb powerlifters pull some impressive feats. That said, based on the sounds of his workout he's a frail body with incredible endurance. Master swim... His shoulders and back might surprise you but that's about it.

You yourself have no clue about competitive sports. Fake steroid muscles don't mean strong. Swimmers, cyclists, other cardio sports athletes are very lean and strong:

Michael Phelps 198 lbs 6'4
Duncan Scott 179 lbs 6'3
Michael Andrew 6'5 206lbs
Kevin Cordes 6'5 200 lbs

These are all world famous swimmers, who did serious strength/weight lifting training. At the state level, pre-trials pro swimmers are about 180-190 lbs with height over 6'3

But the most important fact is that he's 6'3. So wifey what would you rate yourself on a 10 scale? In the end that's the only stat that matters... how much did he pull?

If he swims with masters 3 times/week he’s very strong. It’s long distance freestyle - breaking water with arms, kicking. Water is very heavy hard to move particular long distance


No doubt he's stronger than a woman, which is no great achievement, but 6'3" and 165 pounds means he isn't very strong at all by male strength standards. Basically he's a skinny dork.


I've seen some 165 lb powerlifters pull some impressive feats. That said, based on the sounds of his workout he's a frail body with incredible endurance. Master swim... His shoulders and back might surprise you but that's about it.


But the most important fact is that he's 6'3. So wifey what would you rate yourself on a 10 scale? In the end that's the only stat that matters... how much did he pull?


What is this about, can you explain the sentence?

This just tells me you're not slim or athletic either, and thus not too choosy.


You would be very wrong.
6’4 235 lbs, 13% body fat, 6 pack, PV, defined obliques, lift with trainer 2-3 days a week, do yoga 2 days a week, 20 min to an hour of cardio everyday.

I am choosy and this has almost always been my ideal woman.


At 6'4 nd 235 lbs you are ft yourself, thus your ideal woman is fat


?


the guy is fat not fit, pardon


I am that guy. You don’t have a clue of what you are talking about. 6’4”, 235 lb witb 13% body fat is not even close to fat. You really don’t understand how that works?



Absolutely. My son is an athlete 6’4 weigh 190 pounds. ExH was about same as well. You are about 45 pounds overweight. All these machines give you automatic fat ratio - you need to look at your fat face and the mirror to see


Not that guy but height and weight are not the whole story. If he has got 30 pounds of fat and the rest is muscle then he is fit, but if it's 50 pounds of fat then he's overweight.

When Arnold won bodybuilding competitions he was 6' 2" and 235 - officially "obese" but in fact not even close to obese.


That's what I got for you. Officially overweight. You are not Arnold and he was on serious steroids (now overweight as this mass goes into fat once you stop taking steroids). If you don't believe CDC I don't know what to tell you.

For the information you entered:

Height: 6 feet, 4 inches

Weight: 235 pounds

Your BMI is 28.6, indicating your weight is in the Overweight category for adults of your height. BMI is a screening measure and is not intended to diagnose disease or illness. For more information, visit About Adult BMI.


Your info is exactly why everyone says BMI sucks. It was invented by insurance companies. I suppose you think Shaquille O’ Neal was obese during his playing days when he was solid muscle. Because he was the poster child then for why BMI is crap.

Are your “athletic” husband and son bicyclists by any chance? They always look kind of sinewy. Or runners? Also stringy.


I know pro sports well: many athletes are gaining a lot of weight after retiring from sports, with very few exceptions. They take enhancements, eat a lot of protein, fats and it's very hard to change diet after retirement. They end up fat after age 50, like Arnold.

It's inherently incorrect to compare an average Joe to Tom Brady. An average Joe who is 235 lbs is not a real athlete anywhere near national level. He's a regular overweight man, who continues eating, and added some hard muscles beneath his fat. Now he thinks it's an ok weight since Tom Brady is also 235 lbs. No, it's not.


He literally had a scan that showed 13 percent body fat. That is not what the ordinary average Joe does.

You’re wrong. Deal with it.


So when you show being at top 20 in your sport in your state then I would believe you. For now I tend to believe CDC


Guy that is 6’4” 235 here again. On days I don’t work out with trainer I use the Thrst app. The man who is behind the app is Mike Thurston. Using your logic he has BMI of 30 (5’11”, 215-220). Google him, then come back and tell us on a scale of 1-10 how obese he is. Anything above a zero will prove that you are insane.


My Dh is 6’3 165lbs. He is very athletic. Does master swim 3x a week, runs daily and bikes. He’s very muscular and not bony. It’s hard to imagine how someone could be 70lbs more and not fat. I’m picturing Jason Momoa (who isn’t obese but not thin)


NP
You didn't spend much time around athletes in college did you?


You yourself have no clue about competitive sports. Fake steroid muscles don't mean strong. Swimmers, cyclists, other cardio sports athletes are very lean and strong:

Michael Phelps 198 lbs 6'4
Duncan Scott 179 lbs 6'3
Michael Andrew 6'5 206lbs
Kevin Cordes 6'5 200 lbs

These are all world famous swimmers, who did serious strength/weight lifting training. At the state level, pre-trials pro swimmers are about 180-190 lbs with height over 6'3



I should have been more clear with what I was saying... You only spent time around the swimmers and other endurance athletes. I like how you took it straight to steroids though...so salty.

This is the part where I further ruin a bad joke by explaining it. You were supposed to confidently respond that you're a 10 and he pulled (i.e. got you to marry him) so he wins. I use the phrase "pull" because powerlifters (meatheads with fake steroid muscles) also us that as slang for a the exercise known as the deadlift. I was trying way too hard to get a "I see what you did there" from a fellow meathead.
