What's with these profile selections for weight? 
What is the difference between "a few extra pounds", curvy, Big and Beautiful, full-figured, heavyset and stocky?
Sounds like choices at a butcher shop--"I'll take it stocky with a few extra pounds."
Pa-leez. Do guys know full-figured from curvy? Do they care?
Guys may be visual, but they're not morons.  Simple poundage would suffice.
Men state their height and weight (  ok, maybe they lie sometimes), and I think women should be as forthcoming.
If it's that important, let the other person do the math. What would be the point of not telling the truth?

I was looking for a 'chubby' box, but I couldn't find one.

i applaud your forthright attitude - that's very refreshing.
even for people that list weight, we as viewer's of someone's profile have to remember that different people carry weight in different ways - i know we all know that anyhow though.
overall, i'd prefer more information to less - and then it's up to me to make a determination based on any number of factors, pretty, weight, personality, things in common, intelligence - etc...

nfw are you getting that much info out of me.
when you meet people in real life for dates you don't know their weight.......no way, no how, you guys will NEVER get it out of this chick.......waiting does NOT tell her weight.
you can tie me up, spank me, call me names  but i will NOT tell you my weight.

Ok, Waiting, I respect that.
But it would then be unfair unless we created equal verbage for males--
perhaps.. machogrande..
.. or heftitious. Angus? Porterhouse?

Ok, you guys, come out of hiding.. Women have been the victims of this labelling far too long. 
Would you mind being called porterhouse? Bisonic? Gymopenic? Amuscular?
BTW, I don't think Big and Beautiful are synonyms.
Who put these words together? See me after school

"Ok, you guys, come out of hiding.. Women have been the victims of this labelling far too long."
Why !
So we can get our heads shot off , ( the thinking one ) !
The full figured thing always got me, I always thought of full figured as , oh something along the lines of Marilyn Monroe.
However i have been informed there are wide variations of that classification.

See,
It does get confusing, because I would see Marilyn Monroe as 'curvy'.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.

I can see the guys saying "I don't want to go there".
(DANGER, Will Robinson!!)
So I have taken it upon myself to define these adiposity descriptors, in an attempt to keep you from making 'Big' mistakes. Get it?--Big mistakes? (I crack me up)
so pay attention :
Big and Beautiful: This term is disqualified, as beautiful is not an adjective associated with weight description
Few extra pounds- describes the normal american woman; about 10-15 lbs overweight.
Curvy- describes a heavier woman with a waist, and possibly bodacious tatas.
Full-figured- well proportioned fat with no discernable waistline and few curves. Plump and fluffy.
stocky- implies a masculine distribution of weight; flat butt, large shoulders
Print this, and refer to it often, lest you end up with a curvette, and not the chub you were looking for.

I have to see that the weight thing on here for ladie's has alway's baffled me to.Here is what I mean:
1) Big and Beautuful: thats seem's a bit strange to mean. It's like only big women are beautfiul . Doe's that mean if you are average looking that you are ugly. I would be insulted by this term if I were a lady.
2) a few extra pound's. that can be any where from 5 pound's to 50lb's or whatever. It is a bit general and vague.
I personally don't have to know a ladie's weight. One can get a general idea when they meet the person. I think ladie's should have the option listing their weight. It must just be the nature of dating sight's.
Weigh is something that I would never discuss, but one can tell if a man or lady isn't truthful about it. So it make's more sense to just be honest about it.

Want,
I think I'll take some of whatever it is you're smoking. You are making me laugh too hard.
Jeff,
I knew I liked you. Your few extra pounds is more to my liking.

Waiting....
I, for one, have absolutely no interest in your weight. Doesn't matter to me a bit. But I'd be glad to tie you up, spank you, and call you names....geez....I'm gettin' REAL excited just thinkin' about it!!!!

Big AND Beautiful - sometimes, sometimes not...
Full-figured AND Foxy - sometimes, sometimes not...
Curvy AND Cute - sometimes, sometimes not...
Petite AND Pretty - sometimes, sometimes not...
This is all giving me a headache. You're right - beauty IS in the eye of the beerholder!!!!
