Finding fit (healthy BMI) couples over 40

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Firstly can we say we’re not having a go here and it’s a serious question.

We find it difficult to meet couples who are similar to ourselves in terms of age and build. The big issue is that we are both reasonably fit and a healthy BMI. Not supermodels or gym addicts but we look after ourselves with exercise and reasonably healthy diet.

We really find it difficult to find people, we are attracted to , with a healthy BMI (body mass index) and a similar age to ourselves. Thought it was just the site but been to socials and parties and find most people our age are a bit bigger than we find attractive. It’s just our preference in terms of body shape and we respect people have different lifestyles but we find about 80%+ of people at our age in swinging are above a healthy BMI.

Anyone else find this a problem or are we looking in the wrong place?

Again we’re not having a go or think we are in that great shape but if our sexual preference is fit(ish), healthy couples over 40 or 50 then we’re having trouble finding many of them on the site

And... dare I say it... and I will because I think this is a rather strange thread... is that you guys are slim but not gym fit- there’s a ton of couples on here I could show you that look like they’re in their twenties. Perhaps you need to dig about a bit more?

We’re not gym bunnies definitely but we can go out tomorrow run a 10k with no issues. We’re not looking for muscle men or aerobics teachers just people who are a healthy weight. We have found some lovely couples but we have been to parties, etc here in Scotland and slim, fit looking couples are in minority. Perhaps we need to come down south

Don't know about your area but up here we have many fab couples that are older and slim so they definitely exist. If there are more that aren't so slim, well I would say that is a reflection of society today. Fab is just a small slice of that

We’re only using BMI as a guide here to slim(ish) healthy people. It’s just a preference and we are waiting to be flamed to hell for expressing a preference and asking if that preference is a bit of a unicorn expectation in the swinging world.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having a preference for body type and unfortunately I suspect this thread will get people's backs up as those around size and shape often do.

However I am confused as to how you can determine someone's BMI just by meeting them? Do you measure and weigh perspective meets?

I can understand saying you are attracted to slim people and you don't find many (understandable given high levels of obesity in Glasgow and the average dress size of women across the UK increasing). But to mention BMI is very odd

People meeting your expectations with regards to age and body type you are looking for are very much in the minority in the swinging world doesn’t matter where you are located, just the way it is. People who have personality, are likeable, friendly and flirty with no hang ups are more important to us, although obese people are not for us, get used to the fact that lots of people have body issues and meeting up with you would just exasperate this issue x

They've clearly met people socially (as proven in their post and their verifications) but they're struggling to find slim people to play with locally

I just took it the OP was mentioning bmi to avoid any language that may cause upset. It's tricky to know what you can say when talking about body size without offending anyone. I doubt they actually intend to weigh and measure prospective playmates...

You’re talking about a problem across the whole of society, not just swingers! Obesity is a serious issue and it’s mostly down to attitude; “I’ll do what I want, eat and drink as much as I like and no one’s gonna stop me.” We’re not interested in obese people, or in the narcissistic body-building gym-bunnies at the other end of the spectrum. We’re just looking to meet realistic and sensibly-sized swingers, like ourselves.

They are entitled to choose who they wish.

The negativity that people get in these types of threads is proof that most on here aren't swingers.

If so how can they be so narrow minded?

My point was that if you post as they have trying to find another couple that fits the bill, why can't people just accept that that is what they are looking for?

there hasnt been any 'negativity'..no one questioned their right to decide who to meet, the OP just asked if others had found the same as they had.

The difficulty is this. Most people in the OP's target age group are overweight. They will feel that the OP is essentially saying they are not attractive and get upset about that.

It doesn't matter how much you talk about personal preference etc etc some people will take it that way. The reason for this is that the general social/media consensus is that overweight people are less attractive than slim people.

It's different where people express a preference for overweight people. That goes against the consensus and hence does not accept the slim people.

So can I but I couldn't be classed as slim... I couldn't care less about not being someone's preferred body type but I do get naffed off by the constant assumption that I'm not fit, healthy or that I know what a gym looks like...

I havent seen anyone on the thread get upset about it though? Even with the usual negative opinions on why people are obese thrown in. Which nobody asked for... I am very overweight and not at all upset that some people find it unattractive. I dont fancy every person I see either, slim or otherwise

This thread has been quite decent so far - no one has a problem with preferences. As a big girl myself, I am fine with not being some people’s type - there’s plenty that are as happy with my buddha belly and thunder thighs as I am

That might be because I prefer petite, lithe females too - I’ve never found my body shape attractive in others. Good looking, beautiful, sure...but doesn’t stir my loins. I understand having a type.

OP, as others have said, the average weight is rising in the UK and it’s tougher to keep yourself trim as you get older so this will be reflected on Fab. Added to that, you guys have got to find two people together that you find attractive and trim which is exponentially harder.

They are out there though - I’ve met several lovely trim couples in their forties down here in Leeds (and obesity here is actually worse than many other parts of the UK). Keep digging!

"So go and find what you want. This thread is wierd op...."

The point is we are finding it difficult to find what we want and are asking other people, with a similar preference possibly, if they also find it difficult. We are trying to be respectful in our preference.

Imagine if we posted that we are looking for a black guy with a 9” cock but are having difficulty finding one. Would that be a weird post or a question to guage how easy it is to find such a thing ?

With BMI we are just trying to put some sort of measure that is perhaps more socially acceptable than other terms. We really really don’t want to upset people even people with big muscles. ??

This indeed. I used to be really skinny but then in early 30s put it on. If some calls me fat or large I often fire back but yes it gives me force to fuck with - that often brings a smile and shrug of the shoulders

At the moment I can see my penis when hard, and I can fuck when I am invited to so for me that is fine

Thank you. They do exist as we have met some but in 10 years we have possibly met 4 or 5 couples like that. Some are off the site now unfortunately.

Not helped by the fact that with single guys L can have a fit 35 year old any day of the week so when we come to 50 year old couples she’s not as attracted to a guy who is several waist sizes bigger.

Exactly. We should all be allowed to have preferences . That could be height, body shape, cock size, boob size, facial hair, tattoos, education , whatever.

If someone posted to say they want to meet extra large men/women or members with large cock/breasts I don’t think you would get people saying ‘Thanks OP I feel SO good about myself’ .

Again we’re trying to say we have a preference and wondering if people are finding it as difficult as we are in finding that preference.

We struggle to meet younger couples as many age preferences are set below our age. It’s their preference and we respect that.

We find the single guys will have wider age ranges, generally, than couples so it’s pretty easy for L to meet guys 30 years and above if she wanted. However for us to meet 35 or even year old couples it’s pretty rare that their age range extends to us.

How do you jump to that conclusion? We’ve met these people on our veris, we played with some and we met others socially but not played for a variety of reasons. How would you think these people would think we ‘settled’ for them ? Don’t understand your logic .

Of course we are all allowed to have preferences, as to who we find attractive and hope to meet. Sounds like it must be your area, OP, from what you say. We personally don't have a problem meeting any size of people, yes maybe you need to travel a bit, to find what you are looking for, as you can see from posters on here, they are about!

OP we all have preferences and can ask for whatever we want from a meet, it doesn't mean we will get it though.

The membership on sites like this will very closely reflect the general public at large. These days the majority of British adults are overweight so it goes the majority of swingers will be too.

Here are a few stats taken from Wikipedia.

Data published as a part of the World Health Organisation (WHO) study in 2014 indicated that 28.1% of adults in the United Kingdom were recognised as clinically obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30. In 2014 62% of adults in England were classified as overweight (a body mass index of 25 or above) or obese, compared to 53% 20 years earlier. More than two-thirds of men and almost six in 10 women are overweight or obese.

Combing three years of data (2012, 2013 and 2014) Public Health England identified Barnsley, South Yorkshire as the local authority with the highest incidence of adult obesity (BMI greater than 30) with 35.1%. Data from the same study revealed that Doncaster, South Yorkshire was the local authority with the highest overall excess weight with 74.8% of adults (16 years and over) with a BMI greater than 25.

There are slimmer couples in your age group OP but don't expect there to be as many of them as there are bigger people.

I think it's a fair request if your preference is for slimmer body types...Everyone has different preferences and that's what makes life so interesting!

I'm a fitness trainer and we definitely have a growing issue with weight and obesity in this country. It's something I've noticed personally on this site aswell, however since I'm quite partial to a bit of junk in the trunk, I don't have any issue at all with someone having a few extra pounds.

Bad personal hygiene on the other hand...

I think the op was suggesting BMI as a widely recognised system that is known, coupled with their explanation of the type of people and body style.

Whilst an academic review of the BMI calculator and restrictions of relevance for health analysis , including the multitude of material covered in recognised literature may be useful - consider the context here. That discussion could go in a health forum.

The op wants to meet some fairly slim people but not cause offence in how they say it - that's respectful. Helpful tips towards that goal could be useful.

He hee it's not hit you yet!

Until just 3 or 4 years ago, we could eat anything and still look fit and trim. Then ones metabolism changes and it starts getting harder to stay fit-looking even though one still gets the same amount of exercise.

Now, careful dressing and camera angles start getting more important!

We seem to be able to still pull, though...

I think the BMI bit is a red herring. As has been pointed out already, it is but a crude yardstick of body shape. The key is for people to be able to see someone's whole body, and they will know in a second or two whether they fancy them or not.

I would also point out that Glasgow, home of the deep fried Mars bar, does have a particular name for obesity and associated ailments. Maybe the OP has a point there.

We're far from being"gym fit" ourselves, but we do sometimes look at very overweight people and decide they're not for u. However we very often meet meet such people in clubs or parties and get on so well, that we don't notice they're size until after we've played. So for us it's about some form of attraction, physical or otherwise.

As a couple we’re not just looking for hot women but nice fit(ish) couples.

In answer to your observation we checked with a quick search. Uk male waist size is 38” and average dress size is 16 apparently. In most cases this is probably overweight. So we assume if people term themselves average on Fab then we assume they’re a bit overweight. That’s been our experience in meeting anyway.

So on Fab that generally leaves slim and athletic people. We did a search of couples in Glasgow between 40 and 50, as you did. Of 30 couples on the first page only 3, 10%, had both partners in the slim or athletic category. Of those two had smokers which leaves us with a 1 in 30 non-smoking slim(ish) couples.

Not scientific but maybe explains our experience, we think, and would be interesting to try the same search in other cities.

As others have said, physical preferences are fine to have but can “slim down” (pun intended) the Fab population you have to choose from. We have never had strong physical preferences (being fuglies who need paper bags)...but we do find it sometimes difficult to find the right connection, especially in another couple...all 6 pairwise connections have to work. So maybe it’s just a general thing about a couple finding other couples to suit? Or maybe we and the OP are just slightly more selective than some?

As someone in their early twenties/thirties also commented on the forum we are not ‘gym fit’ but we’re both normal BMI and so feel that we can express a preference for similar people. We’re not looking for ripped people just couples where both are in reasonable shape.

But of course doing that opens us up for personal comments.

Waist or waist:hip ratio is usually better (or body fat), but BMI needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. As a population measure, rather than an individual assessment, it’s not bad to track general size over time and population studies often have height and weight recorded but not waist or hip. The people who have high BMI but low body fat/narrow waists are in the minority though...

And personally, I love a curvy woman...mmm...

"...but we have been to parties, etc here in Scotland and slim, fit looking couples are in minority. Perhaps we need to come down south

When we went to a chippy in Oban last summer they were doing a roaring trade in battered deep fried pizza .... Enough said.

I think some people are deliberately trying to find something to be upset about wit the OP. It's their preference and they're entitled to it, you may not like it but it's what they are after.

There are some larger people who are very fit and attractive but similarly there are also some larger people who I find less so. Not making the effort to go to the gym is a lot different to not making the effort to brush your hair of have a wash!

There are much worse crimes than saying you don't want to fuck larger people.

Yep, the army tried telling me I was overweight when I joined as my BMI was high, I've got a 30" waist and hardly any fat on me! It's a crap system.

Feel your pain ,my advice is find a local area where people with substance go out like err Wilmslow or alderly edge and maybe a trendy gym with a Jacuzzi ..I've done it in a Hilton Jacuzzi with a cultured milf ..

I think your fab "search" might be broken,

I've just put in couple for couple 40-50yo and 10 miles and lots of couples come up and to be fair the women look hot.

Do you mean you can find hot women but the hubby is overweight ?

As a couple we’re not just looking for hot women but nice fit(ish) couples.

Not scientific but maybe explains our experience, we think, and would be interesting to try the same search in other cities. "

I wouldn't take how people classify themselves on fab as being so precise though. My partner describes himself as average build on here but he has a 32 inch waist.

Given that the members of fab are hoping to get naked in front of strangers I would have thought it would be an incentive to produce a membership that was slimmer than average.

A lot of this medical advice comes from people with eating disorders. Sorry but it does. Everyone is different. Use attraction rather than BMI

Indeed

Not everyone is into slim people. I've seen some very confident larger people happy to go naked and slimmer ones not.

We’re just going with the NHS guidelines which indicate that for most individuals BMI is a good indicator of whether you are healthy weight, overweight or obese. It does say for really muscular people it will give a false Indication. We could talk about waist size/ratio but we were trying to keep things simple and go with a published standard which isn’t perfect but a good rule of thumb.

We find personalities and people who are genuine attractive, size isn’t really a factor but we are not into very big people, the OP however has a point many plus 40 people are very overweight and if you are older and looking for similar body types it is very hard to find

We go to certain Clubs that in our opinion, attract the sexiest and fittest crowd. There is one particular party event in the Midlands that is renowned for being attended by fit, hot and healthy people - AND... It is not some snobby invitation-only event - it just attracts hot, fit people.

I think that trying to get Fab to work just from meets off this site would be extremely difficult if you value quality meets over quantity.

Our advice would be to scour the Clubs section and look for those Clubs and events where people have to make an effort how they dress. If they make an effort to dress properly, generally - they make an effort to look after themselves.

Not being fat but not being our ideal BMI we sort of fit into the area you'd probably not meet us. We go for looks and personality over body size, we met a couple where he was good body but terrible teeth and skin, she was bigger but gorgeous.

To the OP, this is just a thread to either drum up interest from elsewhere as you're struggling locally, or just a moan about fab? That's totally you're perogative, and we wish you happy hunting, just don't be blind to good looking people whatever their size we say

We don't find fat people attractive and don't want to have sex with them.

Unfortunately in the swinging world there is a disproportionate amount of overweight people.

Mainly women oddly enough! I am a bisexual woman and sometimes it is a real challenge to get my little pink tongue into the pussy through the cushions of chubbiness!

I don’t know what you are thinking and where you are thinking but we are talking about the DPraved event at Club Xtasia. Neither the Club, nor the event undertake any sort of active or passive vetting other the people who attend are real people. The thing is that events and places where you are encouraged to make an effort to look good attract the type of people who make an effort. Ergo people who make an effort with their appearance, generally speaking, also tend to look after themselves.

We suppose on the site you only get to see pics which can mask a great personality or sense of humour.

At socials or parties we’ve not been attracted to 80-90% of the people there so you would not want to approach them in case they get the wrong idea. The other 10-20% might only be three couples if you’re at a night with 30 couples and you might not get to them as they may know and be talking to others. We felt like outsiders at the limited parties and socials we’ve been to.
