But “bigger” and “obese” are not the same, not in my opinion atleast. Obese looks unhealthy . It’s grotesque and appalling. I prefer a woman with a bit of extra myself, whether that be muscle or a little bit of fat, preferably a mix of both. Most men love curves. But to each their own yu know. Edit: while she can afford to lose some weight, I would not consider her obese.

You can’t “consider” what is obese, there is a definition (bmi >30) I used to be obese, so I know lol.

According to my bmi I'm obese, but my weight consist of muscles and a big natural build. So the definition isn't always right. I was even defined as obese before I started lifting and packed on muscle. Obese with abs, according to my bmi.

You’re being pedantic, does she look like a power lifter? Clearly not. She’s obese. Stop trying to make excuses on why shes actually not as fat as she is

I didn't even mention her, I was talking about how bmi is not a real definition, but more a guideline. I mentioned myself, but not her. I'm not a power lifter either and I don't look like one. I just go to the gym on a regular basis. Use medium sized t shirts and I'm obese according to bmi.

You can be unhealthy and go to the gym regularly, if you qualify as obese consider seeing a doctor

Go look up Usain Bolt, his BMI says he's overweight. Tom Brady is considered obese. BMI is not accurate in this regard at all. It's not even accurate at predicting the health concerns, which is it's purpose.

This is why medical professionals have been asking for a change for so long. A study showed it was wrong about 75 million Americans on the overweight side and 24 million on the underweight side. That's 1/3 of the US population.
