What’s the thing where you work out how fat you actually are based on waist / hip size?
Bmi is ok but waist still seems big.

Waist to hip ratio? Anything over .85 is considered obese for women.

Waist to hip ratio. But women are all different shapes and it's rare to change your overall basic shape.

Mine is 0.72
Seems quite close to obese?!

Do you mean compared to your height?

Your waist should be the same or less than half your height?

I divided my waist measurement by my hip measurement?

0.72 is fine.

Apparently 0.7 is considered the most sexually attractive ratio, although it differs between countries, apparently.

I don't actually give a shit what men think, but was just making conversation.

@breadfoam 0.7 is ideal. Golden ratio. Unconscious fertility symbols. Etc. Etc.
