What does a grown man look like at......

[serryjw]

5'10'' and 145 lbs? At 160 you would painfully thin, but 145?


He responded to my profile on one of the personal sites

[ahem]

1. I like tall and lanky, so to me...

he wouldn't look bad at all at that weight. I dated a guy who was 6' and 145lbs, and looked great.

2. If he's anything like my friend, pretty good.

Of course, my friend is a hard core runner and only has 3% body fat.

4. .....BUT, BUT....I have

probably 30% body fat. No woman wants a man that is that much thinner than she is! 35 years ago my x-hubby could get into the 'baby swing' but I couldn't!

3. 160 isn't painfully thin on a 5'10" frame

A lot depends on the person... and if he seems interesting, why not meet him and find out for yourself? :)

10. But he also

used AOL......That has to be 3 strikes

[LynzM]

11. Hrm... might not be great, but

One of the smartest geeks I know uses AOL, only because she has had the address forever and has moved more than a dozen times since she got it, back before things like hotmail were common. Now, if he's using AOL as his browser, that's a whole 'nother story ;)

13. I have a 20 year friendship

and he uses AOL because he used to be a tennis mod and got AOL free, and wouldn't change. I spend the $22/monthly to NOT be on AOL>

12. I'd have to concur -

I'm 5'9", 160#, male, (and 37 years old :scared:). I'm in pretty good shape, but I definitely also sport love handles and I can pinch an inch or two as well.

As the OP feels that 160 is "painfully thin" on a 5'10" frame, I couldn't help but wonder whether the OP herself might have Issues of Mass ...? :hide:

5. My husband is 5'9, 120 pounds

He eats everything in sight, just never gains weight. He had a bazillion medical tests when he was in his late teens and early twenties. All they could figure was that he has one hell of a metabolism.

My son is 11, stands at 4'8, and weighs all of 60 pounds. The doctor isn't worried, she's seen his father.

6. emaciated.

7. I'm two inches shorter, and 20-25 pounds lighter

I'm not a big guy. :)

8. Pretty skinny but not emaciated or anything.

My father weighed 145 at 6'2" when he got married. He didn't look all that bad.

9. Ask him to send you a photo in just his Speedos
