True....Kate Moss is unhealthily thin and unattractive to a lot of men when she's that thin. A 117 lbs person is severely underweight. 135 lbs is the lightest a 5'11" woman should be (about 18.5 BMI). Kate Moss has had a much lower BMI.
Those BMIs were established by watching people across decades to determined what weights predict death or disease. A better estimate would be percent of body fat because a small percentage of the population have a lot of muscle mass that throws off the calculations. If I remember correctly, something like 98% of the population (including most muscular weight lifters and professional athletes) fit within and should use the the BMI category. A few (really, really muscular people) should use body fat instead of BMI. On Nov 18, 10:38 am, CrossBow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > True. Heck yes fat ladies want to bash on super skinny ones.
