Every county fair has a guesser. You give the guy some money and he guesses your weight, age, etc. If you fool the guesser you get a teddy bear or some such prize substantially lower in value to the amount of money you put up. It's a good racket and everyone goes away a winner.
I wonder how many of you can guess this woman's weight? Any takers? I'll bet a dollar and a fuzzy thing on the end of a stick you can't guess.
If I was the guesser I'd have to physically pick her up and maybe check her fat to muscle ratio using my index finger and thumb in a couple dozen places.
Seriously, according to the AMA, this girl is considered grossly overweight and should immediately be put on a vegan diet and force fed drugs to bring her to the desired Barbi height/weight ratio.
Well, as we all know, Barbi is plastic with an empty head and has caused a lot of damage to female self esteem for 50 years, resulting in neurosis on a massive scale.
Any takers on guessing her weight?
I'll give you a hint... she's 5'6"

Incredibly inaccurate as is all of the information on this long-winded blog about... nothing.
"Barbie" is the name of the popular doll that you are making reference to.
Hey Anonymous, if that IS your real name, the fact that you lack the self esteem to use your real name is proof that massive neurosis HAS set in and female self esteem has been on the wane for 50 years.
Clearly, you don't fall into the narrow, physical, "Barbie" proportions, except the head part.
Talk to your health professional... a mental health professional, that is.
this girl is a little too chunky for me but if she is fit and happy, what the hell .... I guess 170
I'm going with 185.
Which, 170 pounds is a LOT of avoirdupois. I mean, most GUYS don't weigh that much. But, I stand what I said before -- if she's fit and happy, and her guy doesn't seem to think that weighing as much as guys weigh, what the hell.
We're not all slim. And who's to say we should be?
Well, me, for one. Women should be slim. Men should be solid.
Just sayin'.
My apologies. I accidentally posted the wrong height. Her actual height is 5'9" instead of 5'6", which skews the results. To make things fair, I set up a proportion.
Eowyn guessed 170 and Angelzwild went with 185.
The adjusted figures are thus:
Eowyn:
170 lbs x 5'9"/5'6" = 176.5 lbs.
Angelzwild:
185 lbs x 5'9"/5'6" = 193.4 lbs.
The average adjusted "gross" weight guessed by the guessers tips the scales at a whopping 185 lbs.
I'm just guessing here but I'd say this girls weight is closer to the average avoirdupois of Eowyn and Angelzwild than what they guessed.
Guess again.
185
I guess I have to wait until Mary makes another "guess." But she's sick so it may take awhile.
Mary, feel better quick!!!
With the adjusted height, my guess would be 160.
Still plenty chunky, and still plenty unattractive to most people. For a reason. The waist-to-shoulder ratio has existed throughout human history for a reason.
Okay, that's the answer. 160
Eowyn, 160 is the correct weight but I must say your perception of what you think guys find attractive in a woman is way off the mark. The waist-to-shoulder ratio you refer to is what male bodybuilders use for competition and shouldn't be used to calculate how a woman should look, and a male bodybuilder at 5'9" could weigh up to 280 lbs and still fall in fine with that ratio. But I did calculate her waist to hip ratio which comes out to 0.70, which has been the beauty standard since man first took oil to canvas.
Anyone who thinks this girl is unattractive needs a reality check. The vast majority of American males prefer some meat between a woman's skin and bones and are totally turned off by the anorexic, concentration camp, Karen Carpenter look you seem so fond of.
Congratulations. Since you guessed correctly, it looks like I owe you a dollar but you don't get the fuzzy thing on the end of a stick because it took you two tries.
I'll grant the distaste for anorexia full tilt. I'm the first to wonder why women buy into (and it IS women only) the the catwalk, delusional, idealistic body appearance force-fed by the mainstream media.
And as one who was "anorexic" in appearance for some time, not by choice, I can safely say it is NOT the appearance of choice either by ourselves or by those who apprehend us.
Having said that:
The hip-to-waist ratio is scientifically documented. The so-called "hour-glass" figure is the optimum. That is, for proper and correct procreation to occur, which can only occur with sexually desirous Skinnerian responses from males to said hour-glass females. THIS is what has driven human evolution.
Additionally, a BMI for females of about 10 to 14 percent is optimum, according to studies. This does not necessarily preclude your girl, whose picture you presented. Her body fat is not as high as most nowadays. She appears to be fit.
Having said THAT -- different smokes for different folks. If the shoe fits, wear it. And I mean that.
But at 160, my girl is still a side of beef. In my opinion.
(For the record: I've made it to the optimum 130. And, frankly, I think I'm pretty good.)
(And so do most men. Which pleases my vanity mightily. As well it should, having been scientifically, and culturally, validated. Since I was never personally validated, for ever so long.)
Very well said, Mary, and I happen to agree with your post. Then again, you are the "intellectual" one. LOL. As if intellect and physical appearance should weigh on a real Man's attraction towards a woman.
As has been said, some men will die alone, all alone, with no one to care whether they are breathing or not.
Keep in touch, Mary, I'm very happy to have gotten to know you and I hope that our friendship continues thru the years.
My best, my friend, you deserve the happiness that Dave gives you and each day, knowing that you are more in love with Dave than the day before, makes me realize that you made the right decision in leaving karmasurfer.
But what took you so long, Sweetie?
KT
you WELCH on your deals ? Are you sure that you have balls and a dick?
KT, Anonymous, Angelzwild, Kate, Slum Goddess, whatever you want to call yourself... You haven't changed in eight years. What makes anyone thing you'll change now? You're still the same two-faced, venomous, reptile you always were.
Do everyone a favor and put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.
Geez
