Average age/height/weight/size of posters

[lalalandman]

When I read the title of this post, I thought it was referring to posters, literally, like the one on my wall.

[fitgirl]

One of the more impressive stat lines I've seen so far.

 

it takes dedication to keep my body. i love wearing high heels to be taller than my boyfriend.

[LittleTiger]

Pretty self-explanatory.

 

If it was self-explanatory, I wouldn't have asked the question.

What kind of exercises do you do and what body parts do you focus on?

[LittleTiger]

Pretty self-explanatory.

 

Do you like tall women or something?

 

There are plenty of girls who've posted on here who have very impressive stats.....but they don't happen to be nearly 6ft tall or call themselves 'fitgirl' or talk about how they like to keep in shape.

 

Is that what you mean?

 

I don't really see anything more impressive about fitgirl than a lot of the girls on here.

 

So not self-explanatory at all!

Yes I tend to find tall, physically-fit women attractive since you're asking. A lot of tall women don't handle their height well so ones that do tend to stand out from the crowd. Maybe it's just me being in NYC, but the women I interact with in my social circles tend to be close to my height or taller (I'm 5'10") and generally good looking.

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Since this thread was started to help an average woman feel better about herself, I was a little concerned about the message your comment was giving.

 

A tall, fit woman just happens to be your personal preference - and in real terms is no more impressive than anyone else's stats - especially as most of the girls who've posted here are in good shape.

 

Very biased thread actually, which is a shame. The people who have responded are in no way representative of the average person, or even, I'd be willing to bet, the average LSer.

The most popular nightclubs in Manhattan tend to have unofficial height and weight requirements. I've seen and heard many stories when women under xxx height or over xxx weight are rejected at the door under the excuse that the clubs are hosting "private parties", but then letting in other taller, more attractive women. That's the reason I always ask my wife to wear heels when we go out to clubs since she's only 5'8".

What a very sad and shallow society!

What a very sad and shallow society!

Very.

 

I remember once not being let, because woman at the gate didn't like my shirt. I thought "**** it" and went away, but my buddies decided to ask her why she didn't let me, so I kinda watched the scene from afar. After the talk they told me that she told them "because he is ugly", one of my drunk buddies told her "Well, you're ugly too" (I heard that one, being several metres away). And went away.

 

Crazier still, I was in that club several times before without any problems.

 

My other buddy was not let in the same club, because he shaved his had shortly before, and guy at the gate thought, buddy was some kind of skinhead or hooligan.

[nyc_guy2003]

Haha, that's a funny story, I'm sure those door people get abused by a lot of the people they reject. But in defense of these places, they have a right to let in whoever they want since it's a private establishment. Calling people with a desire to only want to associate with good looking people "shallow" is kind of like fat people calling the BMI "worthless" or short people calling tall people "awkward" or guys with small penises claiming "size doesn't matter" or women with small boobs saying "at least they don't sag", etc. etc. People come in all shapes and sizes and it might serve them better to just accept the fact that they're not going to be accepted by everyone in society as opposed to trying to discredit people who don't share the same deficiencies.

Sure... up to "deficiency" part, where I draw the line.

 

Him being bald wasn't really deficiency at all, if anything, it was his conscious choice to look like that (my shirt case could be blamed on not good sense of fashion at the time, so I'm not gonna argue that). They didn't like it? Too bad, mine/his money will be spent somewhere else (which is why I didn't argue with the woman). Especially since it wasn't nearly the only club in the city, and we were there pretty rarely in the first place.

[nyc_guy2003]

Which club was this?

[LittleTiger]

This is getting very off-topic but anybody who values anything about looks or money before someone's 'inner' being is shallow.

 

There's nothing wrong with valuing physical 'health' - that's entirely different - but placing a high value on someone's height, length of legs, size of breasts, age etc is definitely shallow. We're all attracted to different things of course, that's only natural - it's how much value some people place on superficial things that is so sad.

 

The clubs can do what they like - but it's still shallow.

So basically if someone's value system differs from yours they're considered "shallow"? Interesting, but narrowminded, perspective.

Wanting an unattractive partner is no more 'shallow' than wanting to lead a comfortable lifestyle, living in a nice house, driving a nice car, travelling the world, dining at fine restaurants, etc. If all of those things are shallow, than the only people who are not shallow are those who live frugally, donate most of their income to charity, and spend much of their spare time volunteering at soup kitchens and helping the homeless. I bet that doesn't describe you, so you'd be a pretty shallow person by that standard.

 

Here's an interesting observation I've made over the years. The only people who think that wanting a physically attractive partner is shallow are...wait for it...people who are not generally considered attractive! A coincidence perhaps, though I'm more inclined to believe that those who use the "shallow" card have self-serving motivations

Not at all, but the value system you're talking about is very similar to Hitler's.

 

He wanted a race full of tall blonde people so he decided an entire race of people who didn't fit his idea of physical perfection should be removed from the planet.

 

Personally I can't see the difference between that and 'removing' short or 'ugly' people from a nightclub - it's just a matter of degree. The end result might not be so severe, but the values are the same.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies) is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990 which has become an internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 100%." In other words, Godwin put forth the hyperbolic observation that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

Very interesting......but it doesn't negate my point!

Oh great....anyone who thinks that physical attractiveness is important has a value system similar to Hitler's. This is argumentation at its finest

 

On a side note, I find your willingness to exploit a tragedy like the Holocaust in an effort to substantiate your ridiculous argument absolutely disgusting. The least you could have done was getting your facts straight. Hitler did not try to exterminate the Jews because they weren't tall and blonde (if killing short, dark haired people was Hitler's motivation, he would have started with committing suicide..)

Well said. Throughout my life I've met women who didn't find me attractive for any number of reasons, but I don't consider them racist, heightist, weightist, fashionist, etc. for not being attracted to me. It's just ignorant to collectively brand anyone who finds beauty attractive as "shallow" while considering your own belief system to be superior for no good reason.

Haha, great point.

[carhill]

I'm sincerely hoping that the general population on here is younger and fitter than average because otherwise, I'm in bigger trouble than I thought.

 

In comparison to my socio-economic data point, as exemplified so far in this thread, LS is younger, fitter, more beautiful and richer. Superlative in every way. A master race

 

You and me OTOH, I could walk out the door most any day and meet us. In fact I'll be doing that in about 20 minutes as soon as the brownies cool. My best friend was just dx'd with colon cancer and we're having a little gathering of regular people to show our support. Pot-luck

 

My opinion is LS attracts people of all areas and stratas of life who are experiencing relationship issues or wish to interact within that realm. It appears most posting in this thread are self-selecting to include themselves and their stats. With over 137,000 members and far less than 200 discrete posts in this thread, we probably have a bit further to go to reach a consensus on what is 'average'.

That's one of the irony's of Hitler's rather twisted mind - perhaps you might like to read up on his psychology? He hated people who looked like him and his dream was a tall, blonde, Aryan race.

 

You can find my argument ridiculous and disgusting if you wish but I happen to find any kind of bigotry as disgusting as Hitler's. It's just the narrow end of the wedge.

Bigotry can also take the form of finding anyone who disagrees with your value system to be inferior. Like if someone finds outer beauty more attractive than inner beauty they are automatically branded "shallow" and a Nazi. Quite honestly I find this type of thought process to be much more disturbing given that you are automatically elevating yourself to the top of society (like Hitler) based on self-righteousness while ostracizing everyone else that doesn't agree with you (like Hitler).
