Waistline vs. Height

[marsupial]

So this is just for men? What about women?

[Coach McGuirk]

+4.5 for me. Got some work to do.

[Solon]

Two inches over, but I carry it well with the help of baggy sweats and serapes.

I'm slightly under. I think I should get extra credit for being short.

Congratulations on not being round. Does that suffice?

[Solon]

Congratulations on not being round. Does that suffice?

Yeah. That's pretty good. Thanks.

I always preferred "husky" to "stout."

[creekster]

Yeah. That's pretty good. Thanks.

Both of which are better than fat.

Depends on which pair of pants I'm wearing. I've got some 36 waists and some 38's. They straddle this question. I'm working on retiring the latter.

I wear a 34 W 34 L pant. My goal is to keep the W number from over taking the L number.

[RockyBalboa]

I'm 6'2 and 36" are just a little loose on me but 34" are just a little too tight.

[UteStar]

A pure sexy beast am I. Exactly even. If anything, my waist is a bit less. I am a total CATCH!

[beelzebabette]

I'm 6'2 and 36" are just a little loose on me but 34" are just a little too tight.

Since neither you nor Donut are Catherine Zeta Jones, you both wear a 36. Accept it.

[RockyBalboa]

Agreed. Catherine Zeta Jones is hotter than me.

[Hazzard]

I'm below the line, but I've still got a bunch of years to catch up to the old fatties here.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Shit. Way over for this fatty. I guess I need to be like 8 feet tall.

[Babs]

So this is just for men? What about women?

Pretty much the same. 49% is considered the healthy cutoff for women (waist/height), 50% for men.

I thought this was funny, though:

Barbie Doll 25.0%
Ken Doll 36.0%

For reference, collegiate athletes:

female 42%
male 44%
