Question, if you were to compare the average build of a contemporary porn actress today to a typical "super model" wouldn't the porn girl have more meat on her bones then the model?
Yes. However, both have significantly less meat on their bones than a lot of the girls I meet in my daily life.
See, when I think of a heavy girl, I think of a girl who has a body fat percentage over 35% or who weighs over 200 lbs or something. I've dated girls who have the voluptuous body type before and who are overweight according to Hollywood standards but whom I thought were absolutely gorgeous. If I had to guess, I would probably put those girls in the 150 - 170 range.
I guess one of the problems here is one of definition. What I consider attractive another person might consider fat.
Also, I find it funny that all of the guys on the board are carping so much over a girl's weight when many of them are probably overweight in real life themselves. I am probably 20-30 pounds overweight for a guy, so I would have absolutely no problem dating a girl who was 20-30 pounds overweight. However, I am not 100 or even 75 pounds overweight for a guy, so I don't want a girl who is that much overweight. Also, I have been actively working on losing weight since the first of the year (down 10 lbs so far), and I similarly want someone committed to a healthy lifestyle.
