Searching by body type

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

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

NOt usre if this is the right place, but would anyone like to see the search parameters narrowed down, I'd like to see a search by body type as it is a key part of the profile completion process, why not be able to search by it?

Your views?

I thought this too, but think the body type descriptions may nee changing too. They are quite subjective.

Yeah i did think that when i wrote for example, fabulous could bring up a multitude of profiles,

So i agree to search by body type would need to have more definitive types

And I am a size 6 and would describe myself as curvy, body type is very open to interpretation and honesty so don't think it would work Rich.

Height would be a good starting point possibly.

Me & mr have just had this discussion, all in relation to height too... The result was - A well proportioned body can look good at any size

It's open to interpretation if all the user is presented with when they write their profile, or searches, is a list of names for body types. For example, 'Average'. What does that actually describe? If the sales stats are to be accepted, an 'average' woman's body these days is a size 16, yet most people's idea of 'average' could be anywhere between an 8 to a 14.

I agree though, that terms such as 'Fabulous' mean absolutely nothing.

Need to know basis

Yes to be able to use all the criteria on a profile to narrow down a search - otherwise why ask for it when creating your profile? It would help narrow down the amount of results!

I have described myself as curvy because I have curves, not based on my dress size but even that can be subjective

"Definitely like curvy some people see that as size 12 to 22!!!

Thing is Curvy means curvy. ie in and out in the right places. chest in at waist and out over hips.

this can happen at any size within reason obviously unlikely at the much larger sizes. however someone of a size 16 even 18 can be curvy rather than ample or large. same as sone size 12 or 14 can certainly not be classed as curvy.

Its a very difficult subject that should be left for people to access if they like what they see.

Its all a personal interpretation of the options. although wouldnt at all put fabulous as referring to size as thats all a bit vague.

But you cant just say from 16 is ample not curvy. curvy we see as the hour glass figure and this is more than possible at various sizes. As long as you dont go out where you should be going in lol

Would definitely be a good "help" when it comes to searching for potential matches. We waste a lot of time trying to find people we like the look of as many profiles have poor pictures showing their body types and shapes.

Perhaps it could be done by clothing size "ranges". Least that would go towards some way to help find the "type" that you are particularly looking for.

Everyone knows their clothing size or at least should, so it's a good starting point.

Also, you should also be given the option to opt out and not say if you don't wish.

Admin should definitely give it some extra thought - and perhaps only offer it to paying "donating" members.

Oh my lord ....

Sizing is subjective

I put on my profile ample , curvy and large just so people know I am not a slim woman.

People will say curvy and they are a size 26 .. some people will say curvy and be a size 12

Some may say ' I'm an attractive looking man' - to me they aren't but to someone else they are an Adonis

People are people - everyone is different - are we going to classify people by looks soon , search by girth , search by arrogance ???

You beat me to it!'

People will have different interpretations and who will man the 'committee' that dictates who is right and who is wrong!

People will also exaggerate and in some cases fib!

People may also have body confidence issues and see themselves as bigger than they really are!

Will 'pigeon holing' people honestly make things easier got anyone? Or would it just be easier if there were clear body shots - clothed, semi nude or naked - to show people what you actually look like?

I'm happy making my own choice based on what I can see, rather than what I read. After all - in a club/social environment you make a visual assessment, rather than asking for height/weight/clothes size - so why not adopt the same principle on here?

Any additional criteria added would in all likelihood prove more 'exclusive' than 'inclusive' and result in simple tweaking of profile details.

I'm a size 18 but very much curvy, big boobs and hips and an hour glass figure. Yes I don't have a flat belly and i'm a large hour glass but i'm certainly curvy!

Totally agree with the body type thing being subjective and its made for some interesting comments.

Rather than have body type as a search i think one posters comment about dress/waist size. I would say by peoples measurements but i havent got a clue how that works.

Its a tough one but maybe they could do slim 0-12

curvy 12-18 large 18 upwards and a similar one for guys waist size maybe??

They are just examples by no means the norm please dont shoot me

I disagree here. Its fun yes but there has to be a level of attraction and for a lot of people that is based on shape, size and build.

Well we would agree it would be helpful but then you would find people wanted many other search criteria along with marital status, height and you could go on and on.

Yes would be good.

It works on dating sites, kind of! I search for big beautiful to find larger ladies, then also search the category under, few extra pounds, which takes care of the subjective part of the user describing their body.

I disagree with the above, as I myself could be described as athletic, slim and curvy; so it simple doesn't work.

Also this is focused on women, what about men?

Would that be a M&S 12-18 or a Top Shop one? Maybe a category for "I can't get anything to fit me in French Connection"

or a "my bum only looks like a 12 in these jeans if i lie down and pull the zip up with a coat hanger"...what about the guy who can get into a 30 waist trouser because they hang on his hips beneath his enormous belly?

I can see what you mean, but people will lie about this either to you or themselves because sizes tend to feel even more judgemental or perjorative sometimes...and we all know most men can't remember bra sizes...lol...

Not sure I could ever be arsed to worry about measurements, dimensions, dress sizes, vital statistics etc.

If I like what I see and after a few messages we're all interested then i'll meet up - for social or fun.

If I can't see - no go!

And if on arrival the reality differs from the initial perception - that may alter my opinion but then again it may not.

Until your face to face the truth is you'll never get a complete picture, even via camming.

So why make life even more complicated?

'can we say you don't look slim in your ad what size are you I m a size 6/8 all depends where I shop and 32a .we are putting the pics on here we just wanted to know you look a size 12'

I'm a size 10 unless with my 32dd bust I sometimes need the 12. But I would still regard myself as slim. As I'm not a gym bunny so wouldn't pick 'athletic' and being a 10/12 would say I'm smaller than 'average'

Thoughts please ???

I have plenty of pics that show my body shape but if it were a search option. I suggest ladies by dress size. I am a 16 due to bust.

off the top of my head:

men:

waist size, height, genitals

women:

dress size, height, bust

say a size 16 on a 5ft or 6ft woman would be completely different so take height into account

"Dress size wouldn't work as it varies from shop to shop in some I'm a 6 others an 8 and bra sizes are just as bad ranging from 32a/b to 34a "

But if people just quoted the LARGEST size they were then nobody could say they were bigger than they expected. And it would give a good generalisation. You are an 6/8 so clearly very slim. My sizes range from a 20/24 depending where I shop so I say I am roughly a size 22/24 - i.e a large woman. I don't see how there can be much confusion there.
