    I believe he's engaged again, so I bet he has.

    Just a guess.

    And, hell, an actual phone call between 20-somethings these days is practically chivalrous.

    In a weird way of postmodern culture, "fat" may be more preferable than "overweight."

    What is ashley graham "overweight" for? Not the SI cover. Not to be a supermodel. We're not talking about health here. If we are, are we going to call, say, Mila Kunis "underweight" or any number of Hollywood stars "properly weighted via illegal drug regimens?"

    She's a niche supermodel.

    She's overweight. She has love handles and wears granny panties.

    The only part of this post with which I'd strongly disagree is the "overweight" part. For what is she overweight? A certain weight class in UFC? "Overweight" presumes a weight under the over.

    OK: When SJ.com nation says that it prefers women with "curves," or "real women," are they really saying that they prefer women with more fat on their bodies than is considered average or median? That's what I'm getting at. It's fine if they do. It's not my preference, although I have certainly found occasion to love ladies of all shapes and sizes in my time. Mrs. Whitman is a taut little stunner.

    In terms of beauty and sexual attractiveness, to whose standard do we adhere? That is: What is average weight?

    To be a supermodel or on the cover of SI would seem to me to be a mark of extraordinary beauty, and not at all average.

    In terms of median weight, sure, but, then, are other models "underweight" by those standards?

    Sure. I'm not a big Kate Moss or Twiggy fan, either.

    These semantic are getting a little silly. Some guys here like fat women. They should just say it.

    How about a medical definition ?

    She's 5'9" and 175.

    That's a BMI at the low end of overweight but far from obese.

    TigerVols is obviously too incapacitated at the sight of these covers to get here.
