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

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.[/quote]

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

?[/quote]

the guy is fat not fit, pardon[/quote]

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?

[/quote]

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 [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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)[/quote]

NP
You didn't spend much time around athletes in college did you?[/quote]

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

[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Swimming is actually non-endurance sport relative other sports. You took only one sport (weight lifting which is a very specific exception from most other sports) and said that other athletes are less strong than you. In reality, most sports are endurance related and require a lot of cardio training. Adding extra weight/bulk is a disaster for many sports - skiing, basketball, tennis, swimming etc. Mobility in all sports is very important.

If you look at top tennis players (Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic) they are between 6 ft - 6'3 ft tall and are all extremely light! Around 180-190 lbs at a max

Kobe Bryant was 6'6 210 pounds. It's the shortest basketball player I could find similar to your height and even him is way lighter than your 235 lbs! Other basketball players would be 7 ft tall to be your weight![/quote]
