But did the study adjust for age? I bet most runway models are under 30 or even under 25.

The models are so thin often their ribcages stick out or their chest bones portrude, their breasts just about disappear they are so tiny, their arms and legs look like a concentration camp survivor’s.
The normal sized women - the average I believe is around dress size 14 - would be considered fat by the fashion model industry.
I say screw ‘em. :)

My wife watches that “America's Next Top Model” show, or “The Skelator Show” as I call it.
Those women are disgusting. Every one of them could stand to put on at least 30 lbs.

I always tell my wife she’s twice the women those models are.

The ideal weight, based on MEDICAL information, is the simple formula.
Woman’s weight (lbs) = [(Height in inches) X 5] - 200

I confess, I watch that show too.
Last year’s winner was a “plus size” model. She actually had a figure.

I weigh 243 pounds (6’-0”). However, I am at the gym 5 to 6 times a week.

Exactly. Men lose their hair, get paunches, love handles, etc. but few ever concentrate on that in the media. The attention is always on the women.

In order to be in playboy, your BMI needs to be about 18.8

Waif thin runway models are a different category than, say Sports Illustrated swimsuit models who have a little more meat on their bones. These days most men seem to find a curvy J-Lo type body more appealing.

I was surprised the average American woman is 5'4" tall. Illegal immigration might be pulling the average down, since the typical Mexican-born peasant woman seems to come in around 4'8". ;)

Those women are disgusting. Every one of them could stand to put on at least 30 lbs. Many of those girls aren't even that pretty. They have certain facial features that are photogenic without drawing too much attention away from the clothes they're wearing but when you see them off the runway, these girls are really plain jane looking.

I have been to El Paso, Mexican women average about 5-5 to 5-6 in height.
