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!

The 6'3"/165 lb. guy who exercises all the time is most likely, an excercise anorexic. That sounds very underweight for a man who is constantly exercising. A naturally "skinny" type dude wouldn't have to be doing all that cardio and jogging to keep his weight down. This is the male analog of the more typical female dietary anorexic, although both genders can be both kinds of anorexic, sometimes simultaneously.

PP here with the dh. NO WAY is he anorexic! ha. In fact, you should see how much food he eats. He really enjoys cardio and it helps with his adhd and focus. He bikes to work as he doesn't have enough time for long rides anymore. He is naturally skinny and passed it onto our kids (I'm jealous).

I'm 6'2 190 with about 10% body fat. If I was a bit teller and 25 pounds lighter, I'd just be skin and bones/
