What type of body do you have? I would say I have an average size body, maybe a few pounds over.

For the Poll:

Skin and Bones: Very Skinny
Scrawny: Skinny.
Athletic: Fit/in shape.
Muscular: Lots of muscles.
Average: Not fat, not skinny, but just right.
husky: A little overweight, but not obese.
Obese: Extremely overweight.

Husky, although it's pretty evenly distributed. If I shed some weight I'd be comfortably in the average range, but it's not worth the time right now...

I am Muscular! :D

I look like a scarecrow.

I would quite like to gain a bit of weight. 1st option.

You needed a check list! When you're muscular, you're overweight!

At the moment it probably still qualifies as obese despite my losing thirty pounds.

Not necessarily. My little brother is all muscle but incredibly slim

i'm sort-of curvy.

Average....

I'm somewhere between average a little on the curvy side. Not my *ideal* curves, though.

I'm husky as of now. I'm using Christmas break to get into that muscular category...

I haven't got a 6 pack! I've got an 8 pack! :p

Bmi 20.71.:)

I usually get "scrawny" thrown at me by girls that see me naked.

So how many arguments do you think you'll get from your "average" statement? :p

AT one point I had a lot of muscle mass but was not what most consider a muscular build... now I'm flabby... I've always been huskey sized

Somewhere between average and husky.

*looks at body*

Husky me says.

If 'Husky' means "a bit lardy", then Husky it is. I let myself go a bit in Winter :(

I used to be a short, dark and look slightly beyond half starved. Now I'm short, dark and look kinda hungry. I think it counts as progress :D

I'm just fat.

I put scrawny.

Endomorphic.

what happens when a weight lifter and football player gets married and starts teaching oh yeah and starts to eat regularly. you get me. husky with visible remnants of heavy muscle mass. So husky it is for me. :cool:

that's what happened to hubby, he was quite thin when we met, but suddenly after we married I started feeding him breakfast, lunch, dinner.... and also I cut into his gym time with things like sex........he got a little tubby. He is back to his athletic (although not as thin) self now.....

Muscular here.

all of the options in the poll are not default forms but constant variances.

the type of life form i currently occupy is of the hydrated cellular variety.

=^^=
.../\...

Scrawny people of NSG, unite! :)

I dont think it's accurate to put in husky and muscular (you could be both), there's no other option, i'd put myself not quite average but not particularly muscly, mind you your body is nothing without the mind behind it.

between athletic and muscular, slowly leaning toward muscular.

I don't know, I have muscular upper legs, skinny lower legs chest and arms, a beer belly, and normal face. I guess I'm a bit of everything. Athough I recently started swimming and I plan to start running when it gets less cold, after the exams probably, so I hope to be athletic in a year or something.

...I am very warm and cuddly for cold nights (and I have all the right snuggly bits)...

I believe that says it all.

I'm short(ish) but with a really broad chest. It makes me look fatter than I am. Makes the ol' man-boobs look worse than they are as well.

Plus-side is that I have a huge lung capacity (when I'm in shape).

I'm somehwere between scrawny and average.

Why don't you use the Vedic body types? There's probably tests out there on the internet.

I'm somewhere between average a little on the curvy side. Not my *ideal* curves, though.


Curves are always ideal ;)

I'm slim AND athletic. Slender yet cut, with a 4-pack flat stomach. Think of a non-competitive swimmer's build.

I put in athletic anyway.

At the moment it probably still qualifies as obese despite my losing thirty pounds.

Give yourself some more credit. Losing 30 pounds is quite an achievement. :)

Not fat enough to be considered Husky, not skinny enough to be considered Average. I marked average, though, since most of my weight is on account of me being very curvy.

I usually get "scrawny" thrown at me by girls that see me naked.

Girls usually call the cops when they see me naked.

Anyway, kind of husky, I look big and strong, but I have all the upper body strength of a middle schooler. My legs are pretty solid muscle, though.

I'm probably average. Maybe a bit thinner than average, but then I'm taller than average, so it balances out.

Incorporeal entity.

I'm athletic with lots of lean body mass and legs made of steel... However, my stomach/chest area could definitely stand to gain some muscle mass.

nightly crunches and pushups work wonders. *nod*

I'm a distance runner, and i can squat more than some of the kids on my schools football team. Funny, huh?

I haven't got a 6 pack! I've got an 8 pack! :p

oh yeah? well i got a keg ;)

"husky" it is, though technically i'm obese. i just don't look it. should really stand to lose between 30 and 40 pounds.

think rugby player build and that's me (just a lot less fit). stocky, broad shoulders, not overly tall, quite muscular/strong, good sprinter, Welsh...

Pix or it's all lies!

I'm average, not scrawny, not fat...but quite petite. I'm only 5'0". Big ass, big tits tho...so yeah, definitely not scrawny.

You know you are technically a midget in the US. They draw the line at 5'3 IIRC.

I don't think that's true. I thought it was 4'11, but then I just read something called the midget manifesto, and it said that it was anyone that was 127 cm (50 inches). Wiki says that it is for a male 132 cm and for a gal 123 cm.

You know you are technically a midget in the US. They draw the line at 5'3 IIRC.

Like I give a shit.

I want a little filipina girlfriend that's 4'8". If that classifies as midget sex, I guess I'm all for it.

Sorry, I know we're supposed to be metric, but height is only comprehensible to me in feet and inches.

-raises hand- So am I!

Sorry, I know we're supposed to be metric, but height is only comprehensible to me in feet and inches.

Okay well for a girl, the 123 cm is about 4'0-4'1, while for the guy 132 is roughly 4'3-4'4.

The hero type. Muscular yet athletic. It's all the work-out I get while on duty.

You know you are technically a midget in the US. They draw the line at 5'3 IIRC.

Nah, they draw the line at anything directly below 5'0". This applies to both males and females. This is, of course, in the legal sense of the term. Being blind and being legally blind are two different things, just as being a midget and legally being a midget are.

So Sin is still a boring, mundane, run-of-the-mill Normie.

Biped.

I don't quite follow...

...Do keep in mind that I haven't had much food today, and I also had a very potent energy drink, which has obviously soaked into my bloodstream and caused a bit of an "imbalance". I'm quite fidgety and my mind can't focus as well as it normally does.

Don't let my posts at this moment fool you --- I'm trying very hard to concentrate just to hit the right keys here. :p

Yes! That is exactly what I am:)

Curves are always ideal ;)

You're officially my go-to for my daily confidence boost, eh? ;) Smooches for you!


So how many arguments do you think you'll get from your "average" statement? :p

Well, I didn't say it so people would disagree with me. :p If you're going by the OP's description, then yeah, I'm about average. Certainly not skinny. Or even slim. I'm huggable, I suppose. Squishy in most of the right places.

Well, I didn't say it so people would disagree with me. :p If you *were*, i'd say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Lol.

I'm pretty athletic...although leaning more to the skinny athletic as a runner.

I don't think "wrong" would be the word, since you'd be in a solid majority of frequent internet users and forum members who feel the same way ... adamantly, at that. :)

And i should add that i *think* Zi meant the idea of PEOPLE dressing up like Leia ... not people dressing up like Jabba (although whatever floats yer boat *shrug*)
Or Jabba dressing up like Leia, which perhaps you meant, which can be reproduced on a smaller scale with a banana slug.
FYI, banana slugs like to roll around with each other but are actually asexual in their reproduction, typically.

I love this commitment to post more, because I'm so used to just lurking in the background that I feel like my mind blocks out anything productive to say... >_>

But I like your "I don't believe in Santa until he gives me a girlfriend". ;) Fully feel you, there. Except not so much, you know, a girlfriend.

Maybe if you're good, he'll leave a pretty girl with a bow on her head under the tree!

Well, if I were to get a girl that was at least half your beauty, I think I would have to consider it a great Christmas ;) :D

Portly. I like the sound of that for some odd reason. I think I might call my dad that. I remember I used to use his belly as a pillow when I was a wee little man.

Awww, haha, that would be a first for me!
Hopefully, one of many. :)

Eh, it's a little of both. Can't do much with one without the other.Well, to be fair, there's a lot of folk who like their partners/friends/SO's to wear them as moustaches .... :p

Oh yeah, i recall a special method of posting Zilam uses on occasion. :D

Anything that involves the word "special", I'm going to to leave alone. :p

Yes! That is exactly what I am:)

See, Brevious? I told you.

Husky, I'd say (10% over my ideal mass) - being tall is a huge benefit, you can hide a lot of fat.

What type of body do you have? I would say I have an average size body, maybe a few pounds over.

For the Poll:

Skin and Bones: Very Skinny
Scrawny: Skinny.
Athletic: Fit/in shape.
Muscular: Lots of muscles.
Average: Not fat, not skinny, but just right.
husky: A little overweight, but not obese.
Obese: Extremely overweight.

I have the heroic physique of a demi-god.

And, to keep it that way, I have protectively covered it in a layer of fat....

:D

Maybe I'll send you a picture. ;) With a bow on my head. We'll see. If you're reeeeeally good. I'll have to consult with Santa.

So, how would I go about being reeeeeally good? 'Cause I think I would have fun unwrapping you on Christmas morning :p

(Cheesy lines ftw) :D

Pay no attention to Brevious. He is just jealous that I am not paying as much attention to him anymore. :p

I've got very little of anything to me, it's odd. I'm 10st, my bones stick out in a couple of places and exercise seems to make me stronger but skinnier. So which is that on the list?

I'm skin and bones (woohoow I'm a DVD :))
Well my BMI 17.5

I'm a big fat guy. 6'3" (191cm) and 276 lbs (124 kg). I need to lose a few.

There are five levels of fat and five levels of skinny.

5 Levels of Fat
-Healthy
-Husky
-Chunky
-Fluffy
-DAAAAAMN!

5 Levels of Skinny
-Healthy
-Slim
-Skinny
-Scrawny
-Snapped like a twig

I consider myself somewhere between slim and skinny.

What about levels of muscular?
I'd say probably something like this:
toned
built
cut
ripped
jacked

or something like that

5'11" ish, and under 125 lbs. I can barely lift my little brother's school backpack sometimes.

I don't know, by girl standards I think I'm average but I might be a bit more on the scrawny side - but I'm taller than a lot of girls so I don't know.

At the moment?
Very unfit, but I definitely don't look it.
I have wasted muscle mass from chronic illness, but before I was sick I was pretty darn fit and athletic. I have a few more curves than I used to though, but they are all most all in the right places so...
I'd say I look average maybe?
:confused:

I'm in between "Average" and "Husky", leaning more to the Husky side. If you were to distribute it, it would be 30% Average and 70% Husky (if that makes any sense).

Fat.
Simple as that. :D
And perfectly happy with it, too.

I'm short in stature with medium bone structure. I'd say I'm average in build, certainly not skinny but also not particularly round. I would like to claim an athletic build but I can only do so if videogames can be considered a sport.

I'm far from fat, but it wouldn't hurt for me to lose 10-15 pounds, either.

It's hard to say definitively because "average" is difficult to quantify. Given that-- what-- 40% of Americans and 30ish% of Canadians are medically considered overweight or obese, that skews the average. The word "average" isn't the same thing as halfway between opposite extremes, it's a statistical term. So given obesity rates, the "average" physique is probably 5, 10, 15 lbs or so above the medical profession's "ideal weight." But then, also, there's the fact that this is an international forum so standards will vary across cultures.


Anyway, given my understanding of "average" I'd lean towards "athletic" for myself. 6', 171 lbs and 10.6% body fat (whereas the average US adult male is like 19%). Pic's @ http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=AUGESLE&key=BYH

I always find myself short of patience with people who appear to not only not have read the thread, but even seem to have ignored the OP.

Now you sure can say that that's a bit blurry around the edges still, but it counters your argument about 'average' as in the statistical concept, because Zilam makes it clear that's not what he's striving for.
