What Real Women Look Like

It's apparently a sort of database of real people sending in their photos and sorted into categories of age, height, weight, ... you can even choose a body shape template.
I just thought it was sort of useful for translating a weight number into an image.
There's even a quiz to guess which picture features a woman at X weight.

Real women......are comfortable with whom they are at that moment, whatever their build, background,occupation,status in society, disabilities,cup size, or age.
One of the sexiest women I've ever met spent her nights in a culvert near a supply base in Afghanistan.....She had nothing to survive on, she was bruised scarred and beaten, rail thin, and half starved to death....but when I spoke with her she held her head high, and looked me in the eye.....Her very spirit, pride in who she was, and determination to survive was one of the sexiest things I'd ever encountered.
I was paging through a magazine that had articles about losing weight, how a woman can be more attractive, and another article on how to be more attractive to men, and I glanced up, and looked through the window and saw her walking through the compound.....I remember thinking if she saw that American Magazine I was holding...how ridiculous would she find it?
She had no concept of body image, or how to apply her makeup better....She found self worth in the fact she had simply survived.
There isn't another creature that has been more abused, judged,or more persecuted in all of history than the human female.....and most are born survivors.
A "real" woman adapts to the environment she finds herself in to survive, no matter what they are built like.
This just in: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41443027 "Is she Photoshopped? In France, they now have to tell you"
As an aside: I am more leery than ever of paying a premium to see a photoshopped / professionally shot escort.
Although (most of the time) their Attitude wins me over, it has never been anything other than disappointment expecting exactly the lady in the photograph.
And I would repeat based on their Attitude anyway, not so much their Looks.

It's weird cause at 5'7" I weigh in at 180lbs literally!! I was shocked!! I'm a size 9-11, curvy and solid muscle... Weight is just a number, I know ladies who weigh the same as I do who don't have that hardness so it's all muscle to fat ratio anyways... You cannot tell by weight alone, since muscle weighs a lot more than fat! SO some one with a lot of muscles can be a size 9 at 180, while someone who has more fat can be a size 16... Both can have healthy cardio etc, but depends on where the focus is.. Most female body builders are heavy, solid and ripped...
Men as well.....I'm 6 foot and have trimmed down to 187 and considered by my Doctor as very fit.
At one time I weighed 215, and was ripped, incredibly strong, and healthy from hard work lifting hay,logs, firewood, and driving spikes seven days a week......I looked on the obesity chart in my Doctors office as I was waiting for him to appear for an appointment, to look at a wound I'd stitched myself.
I informed him that according to the chart....I was borderline obese for my height.
He told me that it was only a guideline, and after weighing me with my boots off, he chuckled to himself, and asked how much I could benchpress?
I told him I had no idea, but I knew I could lift one end of a 22 inch log that was 20 feet long, and place it on a 4 foot wall.
After that height I needed to use a tractor.....but if that cute little blonde nurse wants to attend this appointment.....I will give it my best shot to benchpress her body weight.
I was asked to stop stitching myself up, as I couldn't sew straight, leave the nurses alone as they aren't any good at their job after I hit on them for the rest of the day.....to stop bench pressing log cabins to save my back, and to not take the charts hanging on the doctors walls to seriously, as they are simply guidelines for the general population....which I don't conform too anyways.
real woman.. wow, a lady that can radiate eloquence, empathy, carries her self with grace allowing her intelligence through positive communication. but above all else shows integrity to those, she has nothing to gain from... leadership.
now, were are you ?

Waist/chest measurements relative to height is probably a better indicator IMO. 40" on a 5ft7 frame is always bad.
All women are real and personally speaking, I have no interest in "unreal" women.
From Tia Luxx To Jewel of Surrey.... they are all real and they come in all shapes, sizes, personalities and looks. They are all beautiful and real.
Whoever created mankind did a wonderful job of creating the fairer sex.

I just laugh at shit like that. Are they trying to convince men to change their expectations?
A girl can be "real" if she wants to be, keep eating those chocolates, don't work out, be an all around slob! Be real!!! Yeah!
That's not going to change how disgusted men are going to feel about it.
It also works both ways ladies.

its just not the outside appearance all in, its the total package... ive had unattractive looking ladies, but after being around them for a while, they sure look much more attractive, from the inside out.....
so--- glowing after loving, she's a looker !! :biggrin1:
Very well said! Women under 5’7” should NEVER exceed 120lbs max to be considered slim and desirable to me and many men. Anything above would be generalized as obese. The western mentality of “bigger is better” and “living in excess” really shows in these disgusting photos and reflect how self-respect and self-love are lost to gluttony and laziness.
Oh yes and I sure have the right to criticize because of my tip-top physical shape. If you look across the animal kingdom, lions are generally similar in body composition. You don’t see skinny ones. You don’t see fat ones. Same goes for all other animals. It is only in humans you see extreme diversification. That is a flaw for being on top of the food chain. Laziness sucks.
You just know if there was a campaign that featured a McDonald's worker, a guy with cornrows and holes in his jeans and dirty sandals, and a fat bald guy in a suit from Walmart, with a sign that said, "HERE'S WHAT REAL MEAN LOOK LIKE", ie: girls should sleep with them or else they're being mean .... you just know you're going to get a lot of sympathy from the ladies. Right?
A healthy mind leads to a healthy body- and vice versa- and 'round she goes. A great cycle to get into.
Learn from others, but take responsibility for yourself.
Sitting for extended periods of time is the new smoking. Even just standing up regularly and moving to any beat is better.
Now, if only I could keep up with it!:doh::biggrin1:
there are 2 schools of thought on the proper weight for height ratio.
The French method is for the first 5 feet, 100 pounds, then add 5 pounds for each inch. A 5'7" woman should weigh 135. If they weigh 120, they are either lying or super super tiny boned or underweight.
The other method is Dr. Joel Fuhrman's which states 94 pounds for 5 feet and 4 pounds for every inch thereafter. That would be 123 pounds. Pretty close to your idea of 120... but seen by many as extreme.
Dr. Fuhrman started the Nutritarian movement which is a vegan diet that is focussed on extremely nutrient foods only. A woman might not be healthy at that weight unless they eat in the manner described in his program.
