Average means fat I guess.

I haven't stepped on a scale in two years. History with an eating disorder and all that. I get my body fat tested, and that's it.

I learned the hard way how much the scale lies.

I will say I wear a size four in clothing, but even that isn't consistent between designers.

I only see that number at the doctor's office.

I'd just hate for a woman to read this thread and think that the numbers thrown around in here have meaning.

I actually face away and explicitly instruct the doctors/nurses not to include weight with my exit paperwork. It's a bit on the extreme, but for me it's like an alcoholic thinking they can just have that one drink. There's just no need for me to get obsessed with a number when it isn't even an accurate way to gauge where I am with my fitness goals, and there's no number I could see that this devious little self destructive part of my brain wouldn't craft into an excuse to fall into old patterns.

Exactly. I'm frankly not personally offended. But I see this conversation through the eyes of someone who is lurking and insecure and prone to falling into the kind of self destructive behavior I once partook in, and I feel the need to set the record straight.

Men straight up have no idea what weight looks like, and what it looks like on every body and every frame. It's bad enough that we do it to ourselves, they don't need to add to obsessions with numbers. It's crazy to me that in a site where a lot of the guys are obese according to BMI, that they don't know better.
