"A 5ft 11 size 12 woman will look very different to a 4ft 11 size 12 and a Marks and Spencers size 12 is very different to a Top Shop 12. Pictures are the best way to go in my opinion." I agree with what you say about the height to dress size same for men's height and waist but it does give you an idea in your head, problem with pics they can be taken to look a lot different, plus you couldn't search by pics but there could be a search reference to size in the search engine? | |||

Pictures are the best way to go in my opinion." true that. i measured my daughter for a swimming costume, got her stats then looked online for her size and she is anything from a size 8 to an 18 lol. i got her a size 10, pretty sure she is that but had to guess off comparing her to other people really. | |||

"Misogyny at its very best.. How so? " It's basically saying'women should post their dress size online so that they can be judged by it'. The addition of the men with waist or chest thing reads like an afterthought and wouldn't work btw.. I'm a 44 chest and a 30 waist, which would I use? | |||

" Measurement based on size is given negative connotations by society, not by people.. asking people to publicly post this would serve to exacerbate that regardless of what the individual feels. With the BBW example in mind too, size 16 at 6ft would look completely different to the same size at 5ft too. Like i said, there's too many variables IMO. I think we have very different views on women and appearance though.. not that there's anything wrong in that of course, that's part of life ![]() | |||

If you have a preference then it could help if you just clarified on your own profile to let people know. I find to demand a dress size quite offensive.

No one wants to approach this site thinking "hmm what's the best photo angle I can take to highlight the most unflattering bits about my body oh and better make sure I clearly define all my insecurities in my bio in case 'curvy/fabulous/athletic/etc was not good enough for the person who wants to insert their body part into me!!!!!!(or vice versa)" ![]() Yes men and woman are on here to feel good about themselves and feel sexy and there also on here to find people that they're attractive to both physically and mentally. And we do that by searching for people using specific parameters age/height/gender etc etc I just wondered whether using a dress size for woman or men or waist and chest for men or woman would be a more informative way to search for someone you like? We don't use descriptions like dwarf/short/medium/tall/lanky for height measurements so why do we use that for size?? Just a question that's all it was ![]() | |||

"Well said. If we all liked the same the world would b a boring place. But then I'm not shallow enuf to go by looks/size etc altho I agree 1st impressions in a foto counts, I prefer to meet if there's an initial attraction and take it from there. No need to b nasty if Theyr not for u, I always think of a nice get out. Iv had comments like ur hotter than ur pics to curvy surely u mean fat!!. Altho he didn't have any verifications and was moaning he Cdnt get a meet. I wonder why?? " Lol yep some people have a certain way with words on here! But I don't think that someones shallow because they go by looks or size Everyone's mind works in different ways, but If they assume that that person isn't good enough to talk to because of what you look like then that's a horrible prejudice. | |||

"I think there's something in this. The current system is too laden with judgement. Who wants to be "average"? And who wouldn't want to describe themselves as "fabulous"? And does "slim" mean skinny? And if a guy is broad shouldered and tall is he "large"? And aren't most women "curvy"? And isn't "ample" a tad degrading? Fair point hadn't looked at it like that A numeric system just stating what size you are is far less judgement laden. " | |||

"Misogyny at its very best.. How so? It's basically saying'women should post their dress size online so that they can be judged by it'. The addition of the men with waist or chest thing reads like an afterthought and wouldn't work btw.. I'm a 44 chest and a 30 waist, which would I use? Everything we post on here is judged. That's how human beings makes choices. I'm just saying to clarify up what the definition of curvy/average/fabulous is. You would use both that along with your pics would let people make a better judgement of what you look like? Yeah i agree, we're judged in everything that we do in everyday life.. i think we differ on the significance of how relevant the number stitched into the label of clothing is though. There are too many variables and it's a measure that's used in everyday life with negative connotations, for me, this is where the benefits of meeting someone for coffee first lies. " ![]() | |||

And whos to say ladies wouldn't lie .... guys been doing it years ..... "I got a 9inch cock" ... 7 at best is usually the reality Fair point, so should you have both sets? unfortunately people will lie but that's when the veris come into play! the verification is just to prove who they are and turned up, are you saying that the persons body size should be added into this op? No I'm saying that if someone was lying on their profile then this would show by the veris either they wouldn't have any or it would say in them, the whole point of a verification is for people to verify this person is who they are and what they're like, if there're lying in their profile then you should state that or report them I guess? " It's all meant to be a bit of fun... Stateing people's body shape is a bit OTT... I always state I'm large because truly I'm at the largest I've ever been lol but others will say I'm not but i suppose it's just how u feel... Ppl are not gonna start putting size in verifcations... I have met guys who's pictures they have sent must be at least 10 years old they have stated they are 32 on their profile when in reality they have got to be at least 20 years older than that lol.... Least to say it's only ever been a drink and a quick chat its never led to sex as that's not wat I'm looking for... I'm a nice person so i have sent a veri not saying this man is 20 years older than stated but to say met for a drink seems a nice guy etc etc but will always mention we haven't played because yes he might of been a nice guy but just not some 1 i wanted to have sex with so how the next girl he says his in his 30s to every gonna know the truth veries never really mean that much x | |||

"There's an American sports clothing store online (I forget the name) for women that doesn't use sizing at all. Instead they have featured female athletes with their measurements. So you might see that you're around the same height and size as karen the sprinter or Julie the power lifter or Sarah the boxer and order your items based on that. Perhaps fab could feature a range of members body types as photos and you pick whichever one you most closely resemble. Eg: Gender - male Age - 35 Body type - 'Steve' So you're not saying that the 'Steve' body type is fat or skinny or curvy or whatever. Just that based on the list available, you look like Steve. And the list is available to all so we all know what that body type looks like. ![]() I love the sound of that! Sick to death of clothes sizes.

"Nobody is talking about 'super-slim'; the British Heart Foundation is talking about the obese If one does the waddle-walk then one is seriously fat. No BMIs, BFIs, waistlines, dress sizes needed; just a healthy dose of delusion will fix it all ![]() The NHS advise is: "Regardless of your height or BMI, you should try to lose weight if your waist is: 94cm (37ins) or more for men 80cm (31.5ins) or more for women" From the gov website: "More than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are considered to be overweight or obese. More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered to be overweight or obese." Yes, being fat or obese is a much, much bigger (no pun intended) problem as if all the remainder were underweight, they would still only account for 31.2% of the population; some must be the correct weight, though BMI has to be taken along-with BFI. Again, from the NHS website: "below 18.5 – you're in the underweight range between 18.5 and 24.9 – you're in the healthy weight range between 25 and 29.9 – you're in the overweight range between 30 and 39.9 – you're in the obese range" | |||

"Nobody is talking about 'super-slim'; the British Heart Foundation is talking about the obese If one does the waddle-walk then one is seriously fat. No BMIs, BFIs, waistlines, dress sizes needed; just a healthy dose of delusion will fix it all ![]() If you are underweight, it's likely that you are not consuming a healthy, balanced diet, which can lead to you lacking nutrients that your body needs to grow and work properly. Calcium, for example, is important for the maintenance of strong and healthy bones. Being underweight increases the risk of osteoporosis and fibromyalgia in later life. If you're not consuming enough iron, you may develop anaemia, which may leave you feeling drained and tired. Your immune system is not 100% when you’re underweight, making you more likely to catch a cold, the flu or other infections, which can progress to more serious illnesses quickly Women who have lost a lot of weight can find that their periods stop. This increases the risk of fertility problems. In prolonged cases of being underweight or anorexia it can lead to multiple organ failure also because your body may not be getting the nutrients it needs to sustain those organs efficiently | |||

If you saw me in the street you wouldn't know I am in the gym most of the week , I would look overweight. So as I said your comment of ... quote]At the end of the day, people are overweight because they do nothing about it. Is unfair. ![]() | |||

"Body sizes for woman profiles should be in their dress sizes? as many people's views on curvy or average are different. Men's should go on waist size and chest size for the same reasons" Fine I do wish there were better sizing options on the profile. I am size 20 and 5'7" I am large and unfit ![]() | |||

" The NHS has a 'bigger' issue with obese people ![]() Because this is what costs the NHS the money, The cost to the UK economy of overweight and obesity was estimated at £15.8 billion per year in 2007, including £4.2 billion in costs to the NHS. | |||

"My boobs and arse/hips are one size and my waist is two sizes smaller. If I put on a corset it's different again. As someone else said people of the same size can look vastly different. How many men actually know what a size 12 or 20 look like? I don't " I'd hazard a guess most men do...its of particular interest to many and may show they are quite observant. 36 26 34 / 42 34 (6) could be easily used that can give a fairly accurate picture which is hard to photo shop. (The 6 being the remote size ![]() | |||

Is it that I or anyone else cannot comment on obesity on these forums until one of them sits on us and suffocates us? | |||

"At the end of the day, people are overweight because they do nothing about it. I am classed as underweight, but I eat healthy, don't drink or smoke - swim 4 times a week and bike it work everyday. I would say my risk of being ill solely from being underweight is zero " You realise that is so untrue its unbelievable, I am overweight due to a severe injury which limits my walking, the meds that i am on make me want to eat but I often have to starve myself to not give in to it and doesnt matter how little and health I do eat I cannot shift weight without exercise. Plenty of people try their absolute best but cannot shift the weight, until you know each and every persons situation you cannot make such sweeping statements. I would never say all slim/thin women are like that because they are annorexic | |||

"Yeah make people put their full measurements on their profile. Might as well fully reduce people to pieces of meat. ![]() Lol don't think it means your a piece of meat. why do we have any measurements at all then in that case? I don't like putting my height down as I'm only 5'8" but I have to as some people don't like short people and they can decide not to meet or chat to me based on my height measurement, that's no different to asking someone their dress size or body statistics? | |||

"maybe the best way is a combination of dress size and measurements. like waist, hips and chest measurements, Cup size or BMI body mass index or body weight for women and men. pictures can be misleading so having pics as well as the above would clarify things. " ![]() | |||

"Yeah make people put their full measurements on their profile. Might as well fully reduce people to pieces of meat. ![]() I have to say that I would be more than happy to tell someone my height, 5ft 1 on a good day. However if they asked me for body measurements the conversation would stop. We have loads of pictures giving a pretty good indication of what I look like. You can't tell height from a photo but you can mostly get a good idea of body type. | |||

Lol but what size is slim or even average? And when does curvy become BBw or fabulous? (that one is really confusing! Is it a shape or a state of self belief in your body? ![]() | |||
