Most guys have no idea what is a good weight for a woman.
It's that simple. The media, the advertising industry, fashion, and women themselves conspire against women. They fool themselves, and they confuse men entirely.
Most guys think a 5'6" woman should weigh about 100 pounds, but that is starvation weight. Not even a supermodel weighs that little. They might say they do, but they don't, trust me. I'm Blackwell, and I know these things.
Some guys on the board were talking about a dancer weighing 150 pounds, and a few guys made rude comments about how she was too heavy. Actually, for a 5'6" woman, that is just the high end of normal.
I'd guess J-Lo herself weighs about 135-140. (By the way, J-Lo turns 32 today. One of the hottest women on the planet, and half the guys who post here think she is too old to dance.)
Of course, if you were to somehow get into a conversation with a 5'6" 150 pound dancer about her weight, she would swear up and down that she might be just a pound or two over her normal weight of 120.
Callista Flockheart, who we all know is a disgusting little anorexic skelton, probably weights about 110.
Don't be fooled by the weight thing. Woman generally have a higher percentage of body fat than men. They have boobs, which are just sacks of lipids, and they have wide hips, usually accompanied by the heavy muscle mass of the glutes and hamstrings.
A 5'6" man probably weights 140-150, and a normal, sexy woman of that height probably weighs about the same.
I dated a dancer once who was 5'2" and weighed 105, and everyone in her family begged her to gain some weight, because she looked so sickly thin. She could wear a size 0 dress! (Yes, that is "size zero." I didn't even know there was such thing, and I'm Blackwell.)
Back in 1961, when I designed the dress Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang happy birthday to Jack Kennedy, it was a size 8. (Which we referred to as "a perfect size 8." That was the size that fit a woman who was 36-24-36.) I pulled out the old patterns just for laughs, and by today's size standards, it would be a size 14!!! Geez... by today's standards, Marilyn is a big heiffer... No wonder young guys today have their heads up their asses when it comes to size and weight. I've known guys to call a woman who wears today's size 8 (which back then was a size 2) as "a little thick." To which I reply, "Good lord, sir, just date a toothpick and leave the hot women for the rest of us."
Don't be fooled by the weight thing. A 5'6" woman with a HOT BOOTY and GREAT RACK is probably damn near perfect at 150 pounds.* I don't care if your totally hot girlfriend told you she weighs 102... she lied. They all do. (Just like all men lie about their penises.... If men used the same measuring tape for their height that they did for their dicks, we'd all be 8 feet tall.)
I know. I'm Blackwell.
(*Now, a 150 pound woman who is built like a fireplug is a different story altogether.) |
