    USA all the way honey.

    200 pounds would usually be around a size 18 or so.

    130 is definitely on the low end & is less common for a 14 . Like I said most size 14's fall in between which would be 145-150.

    It's one thing to disagree with someone Smooth, and another to consider them a pathetic human being. You don't have to like what he says, just as he doesn't have to like what you say, but it doesn't make either or you pathetic. Jaded maybe would be a better term? You can disagree with someone and think they're a complete ignorant ass, but you don't have to say it that way. Nothing productive comes of hatefulness and spite.

    This is why people just shouldn't discuss specifics of weight. It varies greatly from person to person. Everyone wears weight differently. 130 pounds on a 5' 4" frame is going to likely look heavier than on a 5' 10" frame. The size also varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, a size 14 in one might be a 10 in another. I think measurements are a more objective way of looking at it, though those also vary among clothing manufacturers. Point being I'm not gonna say a 130 lb size 14 doesn't exist, just cause I haven't seen one... we're back to Nessie here.

    To give you an example, I wear weight better than anyone in my family. I am 4 inches shorter and weigh 30 pounds more than my little sister and yet with the exception of boobs, she has none, all my measurements are significantly smaller than hers. She's been trying to figure that out since she got here, and it's really pissing her off. My daughter is the same way, she's tiny at 5' 10" and a size 4 and yet most people can't accurately guess her weight to within 40 pounds. The size and weight charts are just a loose guideline, they don't apply accurately to everyone, we all vary too much.

    Oh I love it here actually.;) Theres a lot of good disscussion/convo on here. Just typed down some hypocrisy I noticed on here thats all. Its all good. I think some ladies and people in general on here take things too seriously. You state that I want to "make others feel bad about themselves" or "build myself up" pllleeeasssee:roll:. Just observing things. Nothing more, nothing less. I brought up some truth that SOME ladies on here didnt want to hear so it rubbed them the wrong way. No worries:drinkers:

    I really don't believe we all vary too much I think there's a general range just like any other mammal on this planet.

    But I just looked online and out of the 8 articles I've read people at 130 are anywhere between size 5 to 8. Women who are in that size 14 range are normally very overweight.

    Not true Andrae, a lot of people thought you were a troll when you first joined, no one thinks that now.

    I never specified that it was you. I said that women have issues with the so-called men who do. If you don't treat women that way, good for you.

    I observe a lot of difference personally. How much muscle versus fat someone has makes a pretty significant difference in their weight for instance. But this is one of those topics that almost always gets off track, typically because of someone stating their opinion as an absolute, or just not knowing what the hell they're talking about. I'm happy with people being any size they like as long as they're happy, and I'm happy with people dating anyone that suits them. I'll leave it at that. Oh and if I was unfit or unhealthy, I sure wouldn't try to dictate that my partner be fit and healthy, that is hypocritical. I don't expect anything from someone that I'm not willing to do myself.

    I am 5'5" and 125-130 and I wear a size 6. I have boobs and butt and am in no way anorexic........but in no way could I ever imagine anyone of that weight going to the size 14 rack at the store......that is off.

    I'm not saying it's 100% accurate since I got it from the computer & the clothing company catalog we order clothes from for the stores. It's usually closer to the higher end of the weight range (160). You also look like you're in pretty good shape & that makes a difference. I know after I had my son, my weight was about the same, but I had to wear 2 to 3 sizes bigger (depending on what it was). It's true that most ladies who weigh 130 pounds could swim around in size 14 clothes.
