CrossBow, That is because most American women (and men) are overweight. A woman weighing 140 lbs at 5 ft 4 is healthy but definitely in the upper part of her weight range (with the exception of the rare body builder). The criteria should be predicted death rates and health issues based your weight (or even better, the percent of body fat).
These are some common strategies of fat women: (a) Fat American women label themselves as skinny for self-esteem reasons (b) Fat American women change the fat bar and act like fat is really skinny (c) Fat American women think that men should start believing that fat people are more attractive than healthier skinner women (d) Fat Amercan women think that since losing weight is difficult, women should not have to do it. (e) Fat American women make fun of healthy skinny women and act as if those women are unhappy (due to maintenance) and less attractive (such as calling them "starving," "stick figures," etc.). (f). etc There is a such thing as too thin; however, a 5 ft 4 in woman who weighs say 120 lbs is not too thin and is not unhealthy.
