skinny Guys in general carry about 8-11 % body fat. Fat guys carry about 19-21% body fat. Heres the irony: girls who are considered hott by guys carry about 20-25% body fat

my opinion is better than yours.
that depends whose doing the math.. usually girls carry most body fat because they store a lot of it in their breasts. but me, i like them girls with the average size tits so most likely a girl with 25 percent body fat wouldn't rock my boat.

...this is just my perspective on the situation...
Don't look at the numbers. Look at the shape of the person. How a girl/guy's body carries it's body fat rather than the raw number.

Yes, this is sort of a ridiculous point. Females and males naturally have much different fat percentages. For one, male athletes at their peak can get as low as 4% body fat, where female athletes can't get below 11%. Body fat percentages mean nothing when comparing men and women.
So yes, a guy with a 20% body fat percentage IS overweight. Not that men's weight is really scrutinized that much......girls are more likely to date an 'overweight' guy than a guy is to date an overweight girl.
Dude, when you meet the right girl it wont be about body fat and all this crap...you cant sum all males and all females up by using body fat percentages...cos i can guarantee you i do not have 20-25% body fat (i weigh like 7 to 7 and a half stone, clothes size 8 and have 30DD boobs! So where do i fit in that lol)
stop worrying about facts and figures, and just get on with enjoying your life. You'll find that usually when your not actively looking for someone, they come along, and when they do and their a decent person they wont worry about body fat percentages

You measure weight in "stone"?
For a second I thought I was back in biblical times . . .

British, we all weigh in stone!!
7 and a half stone= 48 kilos (roughly)
Also uk size 8= usa size 6
Hope we've all learned something today!!
Sigh. Conversion factors. Us USA dwellers should just give in and use the metric system like the REST of the world. It'd make life so much easier. But I guess our government is too damned stubborn.
Alexi
lol...made me think then whether i was wrong in saying stone...but ive always used it...never figured out the kilos thing...

'The irony of hot guys rejecting girls because they are fat'...happens to the other sex as well u know!

I agree schueys girl, I think girls get rejected for being fat way more than guys do.
On the flipside, guys get rejected more for if their short than girls get rejected if their short.
And height, as opposed to weight, is something that CANNOT be controlled.
