Wow 38% think 140+ is bbws. The very, very lovely female mma fighter Gina Carano is 5feet 8in and is 143lbs at her weigh-in.
IMO 140lbs is the new 120lbs

.... I think most men are incapable of guestimating a woman's weight; likely because women aren't exactly honest about it (especially on sex-industry websites). I've worked with girls who were between 140 - 155 lbs who stated they were 125 - 130 lbs. No one would have thought them to be bbw.

I have seen many drop dead gorgeous women weighing at 140 +.
It depends on the height & the body type.

It is really the BMI that is important not overall weight...see the study below....control group attractiveness peaks at around a BMI of 17, those that like BBWs peaks and stays high for BMIs of around 23 -25 and higher



The BMIs for a 5'6" woman would be : 105 lbs for a BMI of approx 17, and 150 lbs for a BMI of about 24.

I voted 200 lbs as being definitely BBW. But that's just the high-confidence catch-all level, taking into account even the tallest women. Shorter women reach the threshold much earlier, of course. But assuming around 6' as the height of the tallest average woman, then 200 lbs will still be overweight for such a woman. But I'd say if any girl is 200 lbs, it can be assumed she is bbw, no matter what height.

140 lbs of muscle looks different from 140lbs of fat. Most women do not exercise or workout. The typical woman that is 140lbs with a height of 5'5" or less is thick.

... hmm Im 5'-7 and weigh 124 lbs. (no exaggeration - I actually list myself at a higher weight on my site lol)

When I worked out a lot, I weighed 140 lbs and I certainly was not bbw.... I don't think a numerical weight value can be placed on bbw classification. Measurements mean a lot more. That said - I know a few bbws that have hotter bodies than ladies whose weight would be considered average. Curves are sexy.
This is bang on... Though women will get it more then men.

This is one of those terms that has been used and abused over the years, I love the chubby gals, but it seems ANY woman who is overweight no matter how frumpy, badly dressed and unkempt is calling herself a BBW. Kids: this is what a BBW looks like, all other women who lay claim to that term shall be compared to her

I love Adele. She seems to fluctuate between this and about 2-3 sizes higher. Just going by the image you posted this is likely her between a size 14-18. She is pretty tall if I am recalling correctly.

That is not entirely true. 140 lbs at 5'5" is a BMI of 23 on average. Lower if they are active and athletic but still a 23 with no workout routine.

NORMAL BMI is between 18.5 and 24.99. Below 20 even (especially for women) can cause health issues. Specifically with their monthly cycles, hair loss/growth in odd places, etc.

NOW for the fun part:

A woman who is 5'10" and weighs 165lbs has the same BMI as a woman who is 5'5", and weighs 140 lbs.

A woman who is 5'1" and weighs 125lbs has the same BMI as a woman who is 5'5", and weighs 140 lbs.


Now the more accurate way to do it is measurements but we all know certain measurements are fibs anyway right? I have seen some doozys... 36C-22-24 (sure... right... no), etc.

There is no way to define what a BBW is by weight. Why don't you lean toward what size of clothing they wear if you really want the nitty gritty.

Plus size stores start at a 12 or 14 but a 12 or 14 is still damn sexy... It all depends what you are wanting. Plus size models usually range between a size 10 (Whitney) to a size 18 (the ones on igigi.com). If that is the range you want then the women will likely use words like thick or curvy. They may even use them at a couple sizes higher as well.. they will likely also use small bbw for sizes 12-18. Go by what the pictures show, and the reviews say.

Just my not so humble opinion.

We want numbers, Madeline. Give us your opinion on where the weight of a BBW starts for a woman of average height. Who posts their dress size on their ad?

Anyone who puts measurements essentially posts their size if you care enough to look. That siad this is all assuming real numbers are going in ads. ;)

Despite their attractiveness to some, being a BBW is still an unhealthy condition and I don't think my health care dollars should have to go to putting tubbys back on the streets after they have a heart attack, stroke, diabetic coma, knee / hip surgery, etc.

It "depends" obviously.

I had a GF in University who was 6'-0" and 145# and she was as thin as a rail (and a knock out to boot). She was nowhere near a BBW. At that height, she could weigh 180 and most guys would trip over themselves to be with her.

With me, it's a visual thing as opposed to a number thing. Even some heavier women are knockouts when you undress them, they are just more "thick" or "solid" and they are sexy as hell.

I have nothing against 140lb+ women as long as I don't have to fuck them
I have had 2 Personal Trainers in the past,(female), one was about 5' 8'', the other 5' 4'' . Both women were absolutely gorgeous, the 5' 8'' lady weighed about 150 lbs, slim, trim, incredibly fit. I have seen her in a bikini, as she has done fitness modeling. and I attended a show she was in. Simply put, WoW!
The other woman, 5' 4'', weighed about 140 lbs, she was also in great physical shape. If I didn't know how much she weighed, my guess would have been in the 118-120 lb range. She plays hockey and basketball, but when I see her in a skirt or dress outside the gym, again, Wow!

To use scale weight as a determining factor in determining attractiveness is ignorant and rediculous.

generally I notice that BBW are popular with either old men (old-fashioned) or young men (will fuck everything that breathes).

Just to be clear, would you consider (From my admittedly limited description) either of these 2 ladies, to be BBW?
