How can you be surprised about the japanese man?

Look up "Karoshi," AKA death from overwork. It is not uncommon for japanese workers to slave away at the desk for 12 hrs or more daily.

When you have to work that much, of course you're going to get skinny-fat (which can be just as bad as being fat) and be physically weak.

Look- In America, the 80/20 rule doesn't exist.

We have a 90/10 rule because of feminized culture, and obesity

The encouraging news? Getting into that top 10% is easy as hell since the bar is DAMN LOW.

Remember that study OKCupid released that showed that women rated the majority of all men as significantly less attractive than average?

This should explain it. Male average today is flat out awful, particularly in Americanized areas.

Rather than the 50th percentile, the 80th percentile (top 20%) would be very interesting. That population segment (defined somewhat arbitrarily) is what Red Pillers should be observing.

However, BMI formula can't tell the difference between muscle and fat. Skinny-fat and ripped give the same BMI reading for a given weight.

Looks like Netherlands is doing pretty well. Wasn't there also an article recently saying their women are the happiest in the world even though they statistically have a more traditional life and are not career or equality focused etc?

Nah, couldn't be, that wouldn't fit the feminist narrative.

I live in the Netherlands. Challenge accepted.

I would call that fat. That's a good thing because it means my lowest targets are still well above the western average

Current height: 5' 11". Current weight: 206.2. Current BMI: 28.9. Fuck. I am not average in any other area or category in my life.

Now I know what my top priority needs to be.

Just put in my BMI stats. 6'1" 200lb. It says I am a fat ass, when in reality I have about 10-15lb of extra weight that I like to keep. I kept lowering my weight. The stupid chart says I am still healthy at 140lb. Seriously? Who would EVER look at a guy my height and say "yup, your very healthy at 140, good job!" Thats what I see when I see a starving person, healthy. Who the hell figures this stuff? In highschool I was 170lb and was thin as a rail and could see my muscle fibers moving under my very thin skin during cross country season. I didn't think I was very healthy at 170. I had no upper body to speak of at that point.

It's surprisingly easy to be average ["the default"].....by definition, the average is the easiest thing to be.....more TRP circlejerk garbage being upvoted.

The average decrease in height is most likely due to the rise in the hispanic population. I'm not huge at 6', but I tower over all my hispanic coworkers and when I'm with my white friends I'm pretty average and sometimes shorter.

Is there something like this for females? I would be highly interested in that.

I have a feeling women who see this are going to have a sudden urge to move to the Netherlands.

Love looking at things like this. Nice to see how much valuing my health and appearance puts me above normal

I'm a tick above average height (5'11"), a tick above average weight (185#), with an "overweight" BMI at 26. But I only have a 32 inch waist and a BF% around 15-18%. BMI can suck my balls.

American

5' 11"

185 lbs

34" waist

Pretty much the same since high school... I'm 53 years old now.

(yes, I know I'm not average for America)

Cycling is my thing these days because it's easy on the joints.

At one point when I lifted weights I was up to 200 lbs. (15 years ago)
