What insults?

You'll need to lose your virginity first. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

you called him a virgin

Its pretty obvious that Northernlad isn't very experienced, if at all
His posts scream "minging virgin pot noodler".

You called him a virgin ******

Its your mental disability that puts them off, eh?

And you called him mentally deficient

All low level, but not adding anything to the debate about big girls...

It’s so sloppy that it’s useless. In fact it’s worse than useless; it can actually be damaging when used for anything other than trend analysis over a very large group of people. If a bricklayer has a bmi of over 25, is he fat or muscular? If an office worker has a bmi of over 30, is he fat or does he do a lot of training? If a heroin addict has a BMI of 22, is he healthy or on the edge of death?

Honestly, BMI really gets my goat; it gives people unrealistic goals, completely buggers up calculations of risk and is used to scare people into buying snake oil.

Granted, but the posts I was responding to either quoted a healthy weight or BMI itself.

From the picture I can pretty much guarantee you that the lady in question is not high in the BMI charts as a result of serious exercise/muscular physique, but rather as a result of spending too much time with Ben and Jerry.

As an aside, generally those who exercise regularly (let alone those who have a career in sports) are usually familiar with the flaws in the BMI calculations, but as an indicator for the average joe it does give a reasonable guideline. On the whole, if you're a similar shape to wizbit you should really get to the gym more often.

Agreed, I'm a midlander too.

Oi, Lads! I've Pulled!

Wow you've agreed for DaveB to sort you out?
You midlanders don't hang around do you?

Nope. He's just finished.

[DaveB]

Yeah, using volume instead of height would be better. But being too muscular could be bad too. Average is probably best.

Using %tg body fat would be better stil,l but that requires proper measurement rather than a back of a fag packet calculation.

I suspect it's just a conveniently sloppy way of measuring body fat, or density. This would be mass/volume, but weight and height are easier to measure than volume, so those are plugged in instead of volume.

Finally, in my extensive experience, they almost without exception get bigger over time so probably best to start with a trim one if possible !!

A very pragmatic approach.
