@ the BoF : Yup, too bad you remembered I had evaded the question. To be honest, I did know the song but never was sure what it meant. And I didn't want to answer a question of which I am not sure what was being answered.
@ Baby.Jude9: Well her whole name is Jehane-Marie 'GiGi' Paris. Do not know if your strange face was because you did not know her or if you could not understand it. Personally I like it that she is not that well known and not really a kind of supermodel. She might be young, but I do think she looks cute.

Welcome to bellazon btw

Did you know that doctors have been using the same BMI chart since the Medieval ages (when people were starving, fyi)? Therefore, you shouldn't go by it because certain variables that account for healthy weight such as shape, race, and bone density weren't taken into account back then, and by proxy, aren't taken into account in the BMI index/chart. Now, it might work for some, but it shouldn't be used universally for obvious reasons (the year 1604 says hey).
Thanks college professor! (Y)
Well better inform the school you were in to fire the professor who told you this cause it's just not true.
The BMI was first invented by mister Quetelet in the late 19th century. It was later revised in July 1972 by Ancel Keys who published her findings in the Journal of Chronic Disease.
So neither has it been used since the middle ages, they did not epidemiological and statistical research at that time, nor has it been revised.
On the other hand it's true though that BMI is not a good measure for individual people, but for epidemiological means it is actually one of the best methods.
Quetelet technically didn't invent it; his chart is an interpretation of the 'church' created one in the dark ages. You do know not everyone who invents something gets credit for it, right?
Also: Let's say he IS wrong and his entire explanation is shit, one mistake is going to get him fired? Chill out on the power trips, honey.
The church, being in the middle ages, did not really do any methodilogical statistic research so while they might have had an idea they did no real work into proving their theory, nor was it scientifically valiable. It isn't so strange that Quetelet then got the honour.
And since it has been revised several times to fit the current health conditions it is not viable to say that the BMI is not valid based on it being too old.
And telling you that he should be fired was not a power trip, but more a way of phrasing. Over-emphasising a point just to get a message across.
Just like you were saying "thanks college professor" to give credibility to your (actually false) statements, I also used a rhetorical method.
But I think (to avoid any further discussions on this subject) that we shall agree to disagree ??

I haven't crossed paths with you - but I wouldn't want that to stand in our way... Don't you agree?
So, my question: 'On a hot summer night. Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?'
Hi BoF, I'm pretty sure we have posted in the same topic at least several times but okay. Guess you did not remember me, but I did......blame your "Being a VS devil is so much funner" thread
That line...isn't it from meatloaf

I read that Dutch men are the tallest in Europe with the average height of 180 cm. Unfortunately I have no idea what the average height of the tallest European women is.
No it is 181 centimeters for the new generation for men AND woman.

^^I'm exactly as tall as you are. I was always the tallest girl in my class, so I was afraid I was going to get huge. Luckily, that didn't happen
As for my weight, I weigh 127 lbs now. Lost some weight
. I'm not too thrilled about that, but I guess I have an ecuse to indulge in icecream some more!So you are now 1 meter 78 right ??
Btw...what is so bad about being huge
...must I feel like some misshapen giant now that I am 1 meter 84 
But I get what you mean...no one is willing to be seen as hugely different from the rest, especially at the age around puberity and young adolescense
Funny thing is...I always used to be smaller than average in middle school but since I had a very late growth spurt (around when I was 14/15) I eventually catched up with the rest and surpassed them, since most girls had already grown to full height at the same time. Now my growth is finished and I am in the top 10 percentile length wise.
And losing weight...it sucks
I am seemingly underweight now because of losing 7 kg's. Hope you will soon get those kilograms back
Btw......another proof that dutch girls are some of the tallest in the world. Just goes to show that it is not just some fairytale (although we of course also have smaller people).
Oh yeah, nice to know there are more people of dutch origin here
-
wow, 184
I need some extra height but not weight
Hahaha...it's a postive trait of the dutch race I think to be so long. We are seemingly the largest population in the world. There are a lot of tall guys and girls here, so it's not really something special over here.
To my own perspective I slightly have the problem that I do not like the proportions that much. In my opinion the area from shoulders to hips is a bit too long in my case. Though my pants size is 36 inches length (actually 35 inches but they do not have that size) which is good, I do not create the illusion of very long slender legs since my torso is also pretty elongated while my legs are slightly muscular (especially near the thighs) because of playing sports too much.
Oh well, can't have it all I guess

Hey Aranka!
Our paths have already crossed once or twice in the babe polls section, but it's nice to meet you properly.
P.S. I owe you one for introducing me to Megan McNierney.
Well Michael, thanks for the "formal introduction"
Though I have to be honest and say that the honour of introducing you to Megan McNierney should go to Nathali=, she was the one who posted her in my thread (survival of the fittest).
It was my thread so if you meant that then it is fine, but she should also get credit for it
No questions from you

:morning:
Who is this cover model?
in Archives
Well actually I am
It's only that with:
- Make up
- Photoshopping
- Ways of taking a picture (different angles,lighting etc.)
- Styling
People can look differently, while the figure is a bit harder to adjust (I meant length-wise.....not breast size)
Just thought of risking it....if I said nothing it didn't help her either. Now I got it wrong but okay ,we still do not know who it is
