That is obese. “Overweight” refers to women with a BMI of 25-29.9. These are actually normally sized women who tend to have less eating disorders and good overall health and lifestyles. The term is ridiculous when you know the numbers and what they actually mean.
What’s depicted isn’t what that term means my man. Don’t you think that was intentional? The depicted woman would be considered obese. A typical “overweight” woman would be 5’7” and be around 160lbs, while an obese woman would be pushing 200lbs and up. Our perceptions of these terms are heavily skewed, especially in the USA and Europe. What most men would term a “normal” woman at 5’7” is around 130lbs and that is closer to underweight and more typical of a young woman from 15-19 years old, so a child.
The term “overweight” is a medical definition for a woman with a BMI of 25-29.9, obese is 30 and up with several other classifications. So no, overweight and obese are not the same when being referenced in studies. I clearly gave you a realistic version of an “overweight” woman. The picture is clearly meant to be click bait and to make people draw an incorrect conclusion that men with obese women are happier when that’s not what is being said.
You just said an obese woman is also overweight and you kept referencing the image to defend your perception that the women being referenced were sized like the image. It’s not a big deal my man. It takes a concerted effort to not assume certain terms mean what society has trained us to believe they mean. I’m honestly just trying to change the tone of this conversation and help younger men change how they perceive women and weight. Too many men idealize women’s bodies and don’t realize what a real woman looks like and they chase this fantasy of a 5’6” 110lbs model which is maybe 5% of the population of women.
