Online Dating & BMI
09Aug07
Are you having bad luck find a date online? If you are a woman perhaps you are too fat, and if you are a man perhaps you are too thin.
“The report even pinpoints the optimal BMI for men and women to receive optimal email messages from online daters: for men, it’s the slightly overweight BMI of 27; for women, it’s the underweight BMI of 17. That latter figure corresponds with that of a supermodel. According to the report, a woman with a BMI of 17 received 90 percent more first-contact emails than a woman with a BMI of 25, which is considered healthy by the American Heart Association.”
I am not quite sure what to make of this.

What in the world? This is crazy.
I guess when you are online it’s easy to subscribe to these “perfect body” fantasies. It’s like a meat market where you can sit back, relax, and take your pick.
