What real women look like

I've put a few pics on there as I've lost weight but haven't done so recently. The one thing I find curious is the body shape thing. It seems like no one wants to claim being an apple.0

I did. Guess what? They can't match my body type. Not one picture of anyone that matches me. Not until I change the age range and body shape. Well, that's not matching me, then... is it? And it's not very realistic.0 -
I didn't find any matches for me.
I put in 5"8, hourglass, 140lbs. I did put in size 2 as I'm Australian size 8. Not 100% sure if that was correct. Does anyone know? I thought I was pretty average.0 -
Those of you not finding matches, do not try to match body type. They are self-entered and not at all accurate IMHO.0

Ummm, it's a website where women contribute their pictures, it's obviously incomplete. Why is everyone getting their panties in a twist all of a sudden?0

Maybe you should contribute a picture so other people can see what your body type at your height and age and weight looks like. It's incomplete because it relies on picture donations.0 -

Also I think AUS 8 = US 4. I find it's less helpful to put in clothing size though. YMMV0 -

You have 34" hips?0 -
Yeah, clothing size is meaningless. Depending on brand and how long ago I got the clothes (ie era of vanity sizing) and whether its a dress or a pair of jeans... I can be anywhere from an 8 to a 14.
I only do the matching by height, weight and body shape. But not a lot of women at my height, so I also sometimes leave off body shape, just to see the whole range for other ladies my height / weight.0 -

I'm glad I found this website, it's refreshing! I will contribute to it, and it helped me decide on a new goal weight of 130-140, and that I need to start lifting!0

Check out this one. It shows you a computer generated model of how you might look at your goal weight.

At first glance, oh dear God, no. Then, later pics match the ones I took of myself. I kind of agree with Projecthotbel. Some pics are not remotely close to the posted weight/pant size that I have experience with AND taking into account body shape.
I had a better reaction to my goal weight pics. There were a few that looked very close to what I think of myself after losing and heavy lifting. They looked better, actually. I'd be over the moon to be close!0 -
I liked the site, though they only had two photos that matched my specs. While I did think they could maybe lose weight, I did not react towards their photos with the disgust that I react towards mine.
On a side note, why are certain replies here blocked with what look like bars and a keyhole? Is this just my app that is doing this?0 -
@IamUndrCnstruction the padlocks mean the poster has had warnings for naughty behaviour. If you go on a computer you can read their posts there, as the bars only cover the profile pic. It's very annoying when you're on your phone!!! :grumble:0

I enjoyed looking at women in my age range and the interesting belly lumps they'd earned in a lifetime. I am pretty sure I spotted some laporiscopic scars there. That was like looking in a mirror. For me, gratifying.
I've got ten scars on my belly and I can't imagine ever taking an unclothed picture, much less sharing it! That's pretty brave.0 -

I did not realize that you could not see them from the phone. The inconsistency is a little odd.0
