On a dating site, I was surprised at the people who describe their body type/size as average. They were fat. I consider myself average (5'4, 125lbs). What is your idea of "average" for male and female?

They are probably thinking something like this: "I'll just lose a few pounds before I actually date anyone". I don't know what the ideal is but I'm 6 foot 2 and 200 pounds and I'm okay with that. I think as long as someone isn't noticeably fat, they are doing okay.

Average height/weight for a woman is 5'6 135 pounds. Man is 5'11, 180. to me those are very average sized people. I'm male - 6 ft 180, but still within the margins of average.

I'm also 5'4"... 158. My job involves a lot of lifting, so I have a little more upper body muscle than most women, but I also have a little pudge in my midsection. I think I would have marked myself as average or curvy. Once upon a time an 'average weight' would have been the same as a 'healthy weight', but I think in the US it is now average to be a little heavier.
