For a girl, is 5'7, 120lb nice?

[Deleted member 4644]

Just out of curiosity, what does 5'7, 120lb look like on a girl? For some reason, I just cant form a mental pic of it. Maybe if you could link me to a pic that has a girl with ~those dimensions.

Thanks

Edit: Yum, I am really looking forward to meeting her now

(I hope she doesnt visit Anandtech)

5' 7" and 120 is kinda on the thin side... Julia Roberts is about that same size, maybe an inch taller and a couple pounds lighter on any given day... her page describes her as "5'8" tall and her average weight is between 110-120 pounds; size 34B."

it's ok, Most women try and stay between 100 and 120 if they are in the upper 5's

That's my wife! Normal depends on her frame. I would imagine that she looks pretty fit.

 

[minendo]

sounds like about small build to me, but it really depends where the majority of the 120lbs is

Depending on the frame of the person that should be just fine, a friend of mine is about 5'6ish and about 117 and is in flawless shape.

yea.. to me 120 sounds fairly thin, but then im 5''11.5 and 150lb, so I cant say its not a good thing


mmmm im really looking forward to meeting this chick. (we go to school together and will have a 15 person class together)

perry- lol nice link, strippers hehe... but it sure gives a nice "mental image" excellent

worth- you freak! nice MENTAL IMAGE man

 

[HamSupLo]

that sounds about right, not too bony, not to meaty. I met this chick that was 6' and 140ish so you're alright.

That seems a bit thin. I am a guy, 5'9 1/2", and weigh 165lbs. I am not really overweight. I think for someone who is just 2 1/2" shorter than me, 45lbs less is quite a bit.

 

[uclaxman]

any girl over 120lbs is fat...

dont matter how tall she is...

Am I wrong in assuming you are single as of right now?

True, but girls really are built totally different than guys (they have less muscle mass etc). Click on perry's link, it actually looks very nice

Hey, I'm not responsible for what search results Google shows!

 

[Ladies Man]

120 and 5'7" on a girl is about perfect to me
not fat but you do have something to hold on to

 

[gopunk]

i don't think she'll be thin... not fat, but not thin.

 

[minendo]

my girlfriend is 5'4 and 115 lbs and she is really thin

maybe that example will help

 

[lowtech1]

120lb @ 5'7 is slightly on the thin side.
One of my ex was weighing in at 117lb @ 5?7 that didn't have much for hugging.
I also had an ex that was 135bl @ 5?9 that was still slightly too thin but was much better for cuddling.

<<Am I wrong in assuming you are single as of right now?>>

LoL yeah I'll put some money on that myself. If a chick is 6 foot and 120lbs, that's way too skinny :Q

But anyways, yeah that sounds like a nice weight/height ratio

guys have more muscle, thus weigh more.

i seriously don't know where you guys are coming up with 120 as being thin for that height. unless she has huge knockers or something... that's about normal imho.

 

[Kjazlaw]

I know a girl who is 6'1" and weighs 160 and looks THIN. My ex is 5'8" and weighs like 140 and she certainly didn't look fat. It just depends on the girl. But at 120 you can be assured she isn't fat, and that's what matters, eh?

If you're in high school, where bony and gawky is the the rule rather than the exception, perhaps. For any woman above 23 or so, 120 @ 5-7 is thin.
