How fat is too fat?

Question

I'm a big bloke, and I was wondering if anyone likes big guys? and how fat is too fat?
I am 5'7" tall and weigh 320lbs

Answer 1

I'm 6'3" and 280lbs and I'm too fat.. My man boobs are quality though. You need to find a girl who likes 'em BIG!!!!

Answer 2

You're definitely too large, sorry to say.

To get a real accurate measure how much excess fat vs muscle you carry, you should do the water immersion test which is the most accurate. You can also do a pinch test (next best thing) or hold one of those devices that sends an electronic signal through your body (not so accurate as they have a +/- 5% margin of error and that's too much).

Not knowing your age, and assuming that you're muscular, you need to AT LEAST get down to 200 pounds, maybe less. At your height, you'll still be big at 200 lbs, but right now you're in the unhealthy category.

I'm sure there are women out there who like big guys, but they're probably as hard to find as men who like big women. Meeting someone who likes us the way we are is what we all want, but it's just not the way the world works. If, for example, you met a girl you liked and she was really into physical activities, how could you possibly do things with her at 320 pounds? This is sort of beside the point, but as a rescue diver, I've seen several large men suffering heart attacks because they thought they were fitter than they were. The weight you carry places a greater burden on your heart than you might think. So, if for no other reason, try and lose some weight for your health.

Answer 3

Fat is designed to help cushion your heart and other muscles and be an energy reserve. Anything in excess would mean additional fat and weight you don't need and could cause additional stress on you system.

Movement and flexibility would become more and more limited with the added weight and mass and the heart and organs would have to work harder to supply oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

So if you don't mind a shortened lifespan and limitations to your life, then the question would be irrelevant. But if you want to feel and look better, you should take steps to helping yourself.

Answer 4

I take care of myself & I expect the person I am with to do the same. It does not all have to do with looks, however. If a person is too overweight it is just I know that we will not have that much in common since I like to stay relatively active.

Plus there is the fact that the size of a man's belly is going to diminish the size of something else.

The weight range for a man that is 5'7" is from 138 - 168 (depending of his frame).

Answer 5

Your body mass index is 110.43.

At 35 years old, your BMI should be between 19 and 26.

Your are classed as overweight between 27 and 30.

You are obese over 30 with a significantly increased chance of dying.

Please try to get some help. There is a massive strain on your heart.

Answer 6

That's too big for my personal taste, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Someone will find you attractive.
My mind starts asking questions about health and hygiene issues with larger people.
And I'm not a stick insect either, before you think I'm being mean. Just being honest.

Answer 7

You have already overstepped the mark if you ask me, you are unhealthily overweight and will not survive to your destined old age unless you do something positive about it. If your flesh is in rolls, then you are too fat.
Your mobility will suffer and your heart has to work 4 times as hard to pump the blood around your obese body.
Do yourself a favour and ditch the weight before its too late

Answer 8

If you can't see your dick when you look down, your too fat.Also if your sun bathing on a beach and people crowd around you splashing you with water and arranging for a helicopter to lift you back to the safety of the ocean, you also need to think about losing some weight.

Answer 9

320 pounds of pure muscle? That’s not too fat, that’s insanely buff! It’s not about weight. Go infront of a mirror (naked) and jump. How long does your body wobble after the jump? More than 2 seconds is too fat.
