Do you have to factor in wet bulb temp?

[Squantos]

I was reffering only to her heigt and weight.

[ken5050]

well....just try and do better next time....(g)

[OldSmaj]

These women are clinically obese.

Nah, they're just fat asses.

The problem is that they think they look good.

They would be wrong.

Spot on and when will women stop sympathizing with them and recognize that homosexuals don’t like women. They’re the competition.

They need to shop here:

I think they are overweight-especially the one on the right-and she needs to drop 30 pounds or so. I’m not young, but still weigh the same 108-110, wear the same size 5 I did at 17-I’m 5’9” and small-boned. I don’t appeal to guys who like those full figured women, but that it okay-I don’t like full figured guys...

Having a job that requires physical work and liking the Atkins/paleo diet for plenty of protein might have something to do with it.

Usually the thoughtful analysis comes after post 50.

Thank feminism and porn - both ruined women.

[1010RD]

Good catch and ditto.

[1010RD]

But she’s crazy.

Queen Latifa?

A size 12 today is yesteryears 16-18.

[Timocrat]

Think of it like this: a bust to waist ratio of 35:22 is 1.6, vs. the average ratio which was 33:24.5 or 1.35.

Interestingly that's ( 35/22) very close to the Golden Ratio ( 1.6180...) hence very appealing to the human eye !

The 3 girls on SI's cover don't even make a size zero.

I'm tired of gay men being in control of the fashion industry, forcing their standard of "beauty" on us.
I'm tired of girls who look like 12 year old boys, being promoted as THEY are what beauty is.

Victoria Secret had an executive who made a dig at Kate Upton, that they would never use her.

Victoria Secret uses some women who aren't very attractive in the face, but have their perfect, sought after, 2 x 4 body on a pair of chopsticks.

Todays models can't eat anything, because they are so scrawny to begin with, an undigested peanut would make them look pregnant.

Now, on the other hand, I don't find the 4 women on the Sexy cover, all that sexy.

They aren't "curvy", they are largish. It's hard to tell from just one picture, but non of them have pretty faces.

And not one of them is SMILING.

Smiling has sex appeal.
Those 4 look like they are one step away from a Michelle Obama attitude.

Back to Kate Upton

Here's a girl who can eat a normal meal and not worry about an extra olive. (Who'd notice?)
And yet, though she's not waif thin, you can see by her build, that sooner or later, time and gravity will have it's affect.

The girl has hips and shoulders and a back. She's 21 now. When she's 41, she's probably not going to be a size 8 or 10.

TODAY, size 8 or 10 is considered plus size.

Kate Upton is the hottest size 8 or 10 I've seen. She has a pretty face, as opposed to most VS models and she smiles, as opposed to the women on Sexy.

[dangus]

Cube of the height.

[dangus]

Why is she drinking out of a golden chalice?

“I’ve got fudge!”
