Poll: are you are fat as you would like

[lechat]

According to the picture, it puts me between 15 - 20%

Can't say for sure how accurate that picture is though.

not particularly accurate but if it had to list every potential body type, fat distribution, and build it would be a thousand pictures long.
the higher your quantity of muscle the more likely you are going to look half way decent at a higher body fat percentage but as far as health goes you shouldn't use that as an excuse to let yourself go and should still be aiming for a lower body fat percentage.

as a general rule if you are on the lower end of the scale it's fairly safe to assume that you have some muscle mass from not sitting on your ass all day and if you are on the upper end you prolly do fuck all in the way of exercise. obviously that excludes the super skinny but seriously fuck those guys they don't have to worry about being fat!!

Ha personally I'm between 30% - 35% for a gilr thats not terrible. Though to be honest im not happy about it, I used to be in the 15% - 17% and would love to get back to that but I'd be happy if i manage to get back to 20% Im not really unhealthly, I just don't exercise much anymore and to be perfectly honest I love steak too much, ha who am i kidding I love all food too much.

Now what i find more attractive in men would be about anything between 15% and 25%,
10%-12% is all well and good to look at, but well its not nice cuddling a stone chest. I want to be able to cuddle and feel comfortable not feel like iv rested my head on a slab of concrete ha. And sorry if i offend anyone but the 3% - 7% just looks scary, thats not attractive.

Female here. I probably have about 40-45% body fat, but I'd like to have around 30% - that's where I was 2 years ago. Too lazy to do anything about it though, so can't complain!

For men I find physically attractive (at first sight) I guess I like that whole 12-20% spectrum. 25-30% can be kind a cute with a bit of a belly =3

 

[Stasisesque]

I think I'm somewhere around 25%, it's kind of hard to tell because all of those women hold their weight well, and I have wriggling jiggly bits all over the place. I've also never actually had my body fat measured, so I wouldn't be able to say with any accuracy.

As for men, none of those body types look appealing to me, I suppose 15% is the least unappealing. In my defence, when I check out a man, he doesn't usually have his top off so it's more how they hold themselves that grabs my attention.

 

[game-lover]

I am female. And I'm pretty sure I am 25-35%.

As for what I'd like to see in a guy... 10-20%.

 

[TheLastFeeder]

Let see: I'm a male 195 cm (6"4) and 64 kg (141 lbs) so 12%?

 

[Lt._nefarious]

About 25% I'm not happy with it but I am comfortable, I don't think it's that bad and I'll be fucked if I start jogging...

 

[Lectori Salutem]

Well, according to the formula on Wikipedia, which is intended for estimate it based on BMI (which is not to be taken as very accurate), I am apparently around 9%.

The more you know, I guess.

 

[axil56]

I'd say I'm a 25% guy which isn't bad, I could probably get to 15-17% with a few months exercise but I hate hard work. I will also be a broken record and say that 3-4% freaks me out

 

[Lumipon]

The formula I found says 10%, but I think it's really a percentage or two higher.

But if you ask, then lower is always better. It's easier to gain weight than to lose it, so I think it's better to err on the side of skinny.

Damn, I have to start training them abs for summer.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I kind of somewhere 25%- 30% and honestly I would like to be less than 25% (15-20) since I know for well that my current body is unfit.

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

Male. About 20% according to those pictures, but I look considerably bigger overall. Think shaved, albino, gorilla and you get a good idea.

 

[smokeyninjas]

According to a BMI calculater i'm about 22.5 which looking at the pics seems about right could really use some toning but since i don't do any exercise at all & eat nothing but junk food most of which is deep fried am pretty happy.

As for the ladies anything between 15 to 35 looks fine to me.

 

[Brainwreck]

I look like something between Mr 20% and Mr 25%. With bigger arms of course - I'm too lazy to keep in a proper shape but I do push-ups and pull-ups and weight lifting (with what few I have at home) regularly. I'd prefer to be between 15% and 20% though. More pleasant to look at - or live as. I used to be skinny as a little kid, and not being concerned about how you look is an amazing feeling.

 

[Raikas]

I'm around 18% - I like the challenge of body recomposition (bulking or dropping), but honestly I'm pretty satisfied with where I am.

As for what looks good on other people, that depends more on their body type and shape more than their fat%.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Female. Um... 35ish? My scale is old and without cool functions like that.

I was at around 40 back in August after giving birth, but I've dropped about 12 to 13 pounds of baby fat since then and am looking more my usual self. Another 8 pounds (ie, when I drop a total of 20) and I'm buying a monokini.

I was down to around 25 before I got pregnant, but I'd been dieting in an attempt to preemptively beat the baby fat. I typically consider around 30 to by my ideal.

As for what I find attractive? Hmmm....

For men, no less than 12%. I prefer around 20, but have dated up to 40.

For women, no less than 20%. I prefer around 30-35, but have dated up to 50.

 

[Launcelot111]

I'm a guy and probably around 20% right now (6'1", 180 lbs, whatever that translates into). Ideally, I'd like to drop a few more pounds just for a bit of personal comfort, but I don't see that as a health concern. My ribcage is disproportionately big, so my shirts will fit weird no matter my weight
