Hard to say. That's three inches and probably a different body type of difference from me.

I was more referencing

I'm like 6'1" and probably down to 140 or 145 now? I was just over 150 when I started exercising.

You are terribly, terribly underweight. You'd be classified as anorexic, actually. Hell, I'm underweight at 160 and I'm 5'10".

but I figured I'd preserve the conversation as it was.

blasted American measurements. 62kg and 174cm, what do you make of that?

I make that you should stop using mass a a measurement of weight.

If you wanted your European hoopla of metric to go first, you should've started it

There, happy?

5' 8^1/2" and 136lbs.

Or: 7 1/2 inches taller and 79lbs lighter than me.

D'aw. :3

No. It's just a peeve my physics teacher managed to instill in me.

I think the key is shoulder width. Height and shoulder width and gender all play a role in appropriate weight too. For example, mine are 19 inches across - my brothers are at least 24, probably a few more.

He can comfortably carry 50 or 60 more pounds than me while looking less fat.

So throw out your shoulder width too folks

... I don't understand.

...I know it's on here somewhere...Probably during the conversation I had with Vector about the size of our hands.

I've never measured mine, but not very wide at all.

Science: Disliking Imperial measument ever since it was a school subject.

... I don't understand.

Gravity is slightly different at different point's on Earth. Weight is a measurement of force, which is influenced by gravity. Kilograms are a unit of mass, which is not. When people use kg to describe their weight, they are not describing their weight, and may be (very slightly) incorrectly describing their mass. It's inconsequential for daily life; I like to poke fun at it.

[Skyrunner]

Look at my edit closely.

I wrote kgf. Kgf is the force one kilogram of matter exerts in a gravity field. It's a unit of weight!

Erm, I may be wrong. Wikipedia is hard to read, so I couldn't verify. But that's what I learned in school.

[Lectorog]

I noticed. It would be correct, but I'm still not happy with it.
(Mostly because it implies that the mass is correct, and because kgf assumes the average gravitational field. More nitpicking that doesn't actually bother me.)
