He is over weight for a 16 year old. 142 is recommended for 5'6".

But, you are deciding if you like this guy based on weight? Is he a decent person? Does he have similar interests? Is he funny?

That's about the worst reason you can make for dissing him.

kitten94515 · Mar 28, 2008, 05:47 PM

no i never said that.
i dont know if i like him or not.
but i was just thinking about what he would look like
bc i havent seen him in FOREVER.
so.
thats not gonna be like a balloon, right?
lmfao.

but i dont know im looking to be friends.
maybe more than friends.
but i was just wondering if that was overweight or not.

If he's got a large frame he is just barely over weight ... You can look for yourself (he could be smaller) at Height and Weight Chart - height weight chart, weight height chart ...

I agree with the posts above, though, that if your going to be "more than friends" you should also be sure to evaluate his personality correctly, not just his appearance

im sick of being yelled at!
i never said i was judging by appearance alright!
you guys just assumed, so knock it off.
bc u thought wrong!

It was your question. "he is 5'6" and he says he weighs 160 pounds. is that fat/overweight for a 16 yr old? and i wanna know if i am being mean."

The answer is "yes".

160 pounds is barley overweight, not worth even thinking about. He's probably just big boned. Its not mean to ask about his weight, but probably best you asked on here instead of asking him. Be subtle about it, ask for a picture.

Hope this helps,
Louis.

It is hardly overweight whatsoever you never know - he could be Mr. Muscle! Sorry to be another to say it but yes you are being mean. Who in their right mind goes through life deciding they fancy someone by hearing what they look like - sexual attraction, chemistry and passion is natural and nothing can get in the way of it.
