zk, I saw your pics and they don’t take into account that weight is distributed differently on different women. For some it goes to the hips and thighs (pear shaped) and for others it goes to the waist, midriff, chest and arms (apple shaped). And the way the weight sits on the thighs makes a huge difference in aesthetics, IMHO. Of course, some of that is hereditary.
Correct me if I’m wrong, zk, but I thought ~25% body fat was considered “overweight” and ~30% was considered “obese” for the avg adult female. Even losing 5% of body fat can lower one’s blood pressure significantly.[/quote]
True, they don’t take weight distribution into account. It definitely makes a huge difference in aesthetics. I believe the distribution of body fat is almost entirely hereditary.
I don’t know what’s “considered” overweight or obese. I’m talking strictly from an attractiveness point of view. As you pointed out, distribution makes a big difference, but, in general, I find women who are slightly-moderately overweight far more attractive than women who are very thin.
