HWP

FWIW, the question was what we considered to be HWP, not if we implement it when searching.

Correct again. We belong to a. Couple of groups on FB and there are people of all shapes and sizes who have all played with each other. It makes me shake my head when I see those who only play with ‘fit’ or ‘athletuc’ or ‘HWP’ I get the feeling that they may be into the LS for all the wrong reasons.

Fokkers, that part about hoping that's how others see you? Yeah, that's the reason. I don't apply a narrow set of criteria and have little interest in those who do. Amazing people come in all shapes and sizes and are amazing in their infinite variety. Plus, fat phobia is just as unattractive as every other kind of anti-ism.

Lovely Ms. Golly , I would agree with you. Anytime I see those 3 letters I move on. We tend to look at people as a whole package, looks and personality. That is how we hope that others would look at us.

HWP is a pretty subjective metric and BMI is a seriously flawed one. My approach is to decide who attracts me on a case by case basis and do a variety of things to maintain my own fitness and not worry about it otherwise.

I do tend to reject overtures from most people who mention HWP in their profiles, for whatever that's worth.

Agree, BMI alone is so way off. There is a BMI scaling with a frame adjustment thru wrist measurements that is more accurate.

We consider anything under 30 HWP.

Palease..... overvthe course of the day that .1 will disappear. BMI is an ok metric but it has more cons than pros. Those who lift will always be higher on the scale since muscle weighs more than fat. I’m your height and I know at 165 I don’t look good. At 170-175 I look great. And that is what I am working towards to. If you go by military BMI standards the numbers are a lot higher.

5’8” 165, yes you would be HWP and you would be a normal BMI.

HWP is rather like porn.

It's hard to define but you know it when you see it.

HWP is subjective. What one couple considers HWP another one might deem them ‘large’.

I have a question for anybody to respond.
What is considered HWP these days?
Some people are looking for HWP people only.
