Profile physical descriptions

September 22 2019

Physical descriptions, I’m constantly disappointed by what is written, when you meet them they aren’t as they described. I’m finding those who describe themselves as athletic are average. Many who are average should be a little extra padding. And some who say they’re a little extra padding are large. Is this a common occurrence?

    Yes I remember seeing a lady who would have been at least an 18/20 who called herself as average.I am a size 12, I call myself average.

    Ask for a recent selfie. Ive been told, when discussing a meet. "Oh, that photo is old, Ive put on a little bit of weight since then". OK, he was honest, but why put up old photos. I think they should leave the body shape for the individual to describe...and make it imperative that it has to be filled in. Mine would be " Curvy, includes soft belly cushion to lay your head on"

    As with most of the adjectives on profiles it pays to make sure you have the same definition. RHP doesn't define average as a BMI of x with a waist measurement of y so there will always be room for interpretation. A sumo wrestler is after all an athlete of sorts. There are blatant liars as well, old pics, in updated profiles with a couple of sedentary years since they were filled out. Simple solution, ask for a live picture or video chat through a messenger app.

    This is a mystery to all of us I think OP. I think some people think they have less of a chance if they describe themselves as large, yet what I don't think they understand is that they probably have even less of a chance again if a meet is arranged and potential dates rock up only to find somebody's been fibbing about some or all of their profile. To me, people can cover up lying or fibbing about other aspects of their profile (take their wedding ring off for instance), but you simply cannot lie about what you look like - particularly your age and build. I've had it happen to me, and her excuse was feeble (she raised the issue not me), but at the end of the day I prefer large over skinny so it was not a deal-breaker for me, so maybe people think that a date will rock up and just go through with it if they are near enough to their description. Maybe it's a case of them thinking that they will tick the more flattering box and just hit the gym later - except of course that gym never really happens.

    Common. I now just make my own defintion based on their pics and disregard what they've picked. I put Large and I feel I easily identify with that category but see ALOT of "average/little extra padding - ers" that should bump up a few honesty notches lol. I've been disappointed on many occassions though when the clothes have come off and I'm expecting (as indicated by them) a solid dad bod verging on athletic..... only to find they're skinny. Try not to sweat it though.... it's a very subjective area.

    It seems to be more of an oversight on female profiles. My hubby has been a victim of misrepresentation from here and other sites quite a few times. We're not naive, we know only favourable pics with favourable angles will be shared etc but to invite someone to play or meet and then open the door and your more a size 24/26 not the 14/16 you eluded to is not a nice situation to be in.

    Tubby Grandpa rocks up and you're expecting his triathlete son, the explanation is that he was athletic at the age he has on his profile I think many women are masters (or mistresses) at manipulating camera angles to marry up to their leaner description.

    Is it really those posing as something different or is just that the definitions are so broadly subjective that one man’s fat is another man’s average?? For me I have a bit of extra padding...but exactly where does that start and end?? Because for me, I could see Rebel Wilson as a bit of extra padding....but my partner may see her as large as fuck.... As it was mentioned prior I reckon this highlights a need for you and your potential to be on the same page... How you go about doing that is entirely your decision...but sometimes you just gotta meet in order to find out for yourself....there aren’t always shortcuts in life....

    Hmm.... I've thought about this before (in my profile). I've got 'average' as my body description, i keep fit but by no means muscle. So i didn't want to put athletic? I've included in my public pics one in the shower, and one of me lying in a bikini on the beach so anyone that flicks through can see anyhow rather than just going by a description. I believe it is important to have photos that represent who you are, most bodies are actually gorgeous, and confidence is a huge turn on

    ...or Athletic. People who have no muscle definition calling themselves athletic rather than slim. In reality most in the lifestyle aren't nearly so judgemental that it worries them too much.

    I think there are a number of reasons. Mostly it’s because if someone puts large 99% of the people on here won’t give them the time of day. You can be ugly as a hat full of assholes so long as you are skinny and you will probably have more luck. Secondly some people are actually so deluded they believe their own descriptions. However for women this usually isn’t an issue as the men on here are so outnumbered if they get the chance to meet someone they’ll let it slide (same as all the 45+ women claiming they’re in the 30-40 age bracket so they get to hang with the cool kids.) And thirdly as has been mentioned before, peoples definitions are very broad. Most women who consider themselves curvy are actually considered overweight or just plain fat by some. Some who think they’re athletic actually look emaciated to others. Its all subjective. In the end just ask for a live pic before meeting and save the hassles. And don’t bother with the lynch mob. Just putting it out there.

    And average though I think covers most people a size 12-16.....at the end of the day however personal attractiveness is subjective and as mentioned above personality and confidence can be sexy as fuck making that person’s exterior packaging a secondary consideration NOT the primary. It pays to remember one person’s Adonis is another’s Gumby the Clown. I think the only universal measurement, regardless of appearance that is entirely accurate is “Beauty is only skin deep but Ugliness goes to the Bone” and being pretty on the outside will only hide a person’s true nature briefly ~ Indy 🦋

    My heart and my brain are obese. The rest of me is holding together fairly well considering 50 is on that horizon just over yonder. Big boobs. Small feet. Plenty to say.

    I really struggled with this hence why I've put myself as a little extra padding. I'm extremely short and curvy. I lift quite heavy weights at the gym so I do have alot of muscle just not fully defined. I have dancer thighs, my boobs & ass aren't small so I have to wear size 14 to 16 clothes. I have the smallest non-existent waist too. Some might see me as average others may see me as large or with a lil extra padding. I don't like lending people on hence why I have a recent full body pic in my PG and have put myself down as a little extra padding.

    I feel I have been misled in the past. One one occasion, I literally didn’t recognise the person I was meeting, as if the pics have been from years earlier or used the filter way to much. I’m heavy as hell.. own it I say

    Tell your daughters how you love your body. Tell them how they must love theirs. Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves -  from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,  whether there is a little of them or a lot,  whether freckles cover their face or not,  whether their curves are plentiful or slim,  whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short. Tell them how they inherited  their ancestors’ souls in their smiles,  that their eyes carry countries  that breathed life into history,  that the swing of their hips  does not determine their destiny. Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued. Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful  because every woman’s soul is unique. - Tell Your Daughters | @nikita_gill Why must we dissect a person's perception of their size?

    Quoting '86Jasindy' Hmm.... I've thought about this before (in my profile). I've got 'average' as my body description. IMO your body in those pics is a lot more then average, damn fine and sexy would be more accurate, but everything is open to interpretation at the end of the day... so my interpretation is your selling yourself short selecting average.

    I’d rely on pics and not the description. meeting in person is obviously the best way to determine if you are attracted to someone.

    Ms Jonesy No one is dissecting anyone sizes. We’re all different and we all like different things, shapes and sizes. I know what I like and was just expressing what I’d experienced.

    Body Type only displays what the person thinks of themselves. I've met guys who describe their body as average and it's been six packs and muscles, and the other extreme of being very cuddly. I've met guys who describe themselves as athletic and have a spare tire. I read the Looks and Body Type descriptions as an indication of how a person feels about themselves and how confident they are and use their photos to determine their body type. Personally, I don't care what body type the guy has, as long as he looks like his photos :)
