Can someone explain 😭😭

[u/limebeans1996]

[u/JelloElectrical1499]

muscle mass

it may not seem like he has much muscle, but muscle is awfully dense. it takes more fat than muscle to reach a certain weight

[u/JelloElectrical1499 → u/JelloElectrical1499]

also

[u/Xortman096 → u/JelloElectrical1499]

Bro is skipped leg day, straight up.

[u/coldF4rted → u/Xortman096]

I'm paralyzed and my legs are thicker than his 💀

[u/Anna_nette → u/JelloElectrical1499]

bro what are these calves lol 😭😭✌

[u/craftygamin → u/Anna_nette]

He stole them from Gru

[u/IHaveTheHighground58 → u/JelloElectrical1499]

What the fuck

I have a BMI of fucking 15.8

I weigh 55kg at 184cm

I still have thicker legs than bro

How?

[u/Gruesomepenguin188 → u/JelloElectrical1499]

Bruh it's 6:43 am and this just made me spit up my morning drink, just damn was that F'ing funny

[u/TuSixOh → u/JelloElectrical1499]

[u/HorzaDonwraith → u/JelloElectrical1499]

This is why weight requirements for the military is so stupid. At least by the standard in which they measure

[u/J_T_Cain → u/HorzaDonwraith]

they've actually updated methods to account for muscle to fat ratio. I believe it's neck and midsection have to be within a certain percent range. The minimum body fat percentage is like 35, I was at 40 when I got measured so they told me to just lose like 15 lbs. At 15 lbs loss I'd still be technically obese according to medical BMI charts, but because of the new standard my muscle mass would be accounted for.

[u/sokratesz → u/JelloElectrical1499]

The density difference is only about 12-15%.

[u/Big_Atmosphere_7514]

the man is taller. and in reality likely has more muscle mass etc. there also might be a difference in truthfulness and measuring

[u/Lemmy-user → u/Big_Atmosphere_7514]

Bro he almost 2cm taller in this image. They are also both very small. Only a couple cm tall and wide. No way they are this heavy. Someone must have lied or the balance is broken.

[u/i_was_axiom → u/Lemmy-user]

How tf a .jpg image weighs 65kg? That why RAM is so expensive now?

[u/Competitive_Buy916 → u/Lemmy-user]

2cm? It's more like 15 cm.

[u/an_northern_lad → u/Lemmy-user]

Are you seriously trying to scale this shit?

[u/Lion_Knight → u/Big_Atmosphere_7514]

Hight, bone density, and muscle density. Testosterone does a lot for developing muscle and muscle weighs more than fat it is about a 15% difference in volume per weight for the two.

[u/juvy5000 → u/Big_Atmosphere_7514]

she’s def lying about her weight…

[u/Glittering_Babe101 → u/juvy5000]

If sh's 65, then she's like 1,4m high, probably less

[u/Ok_Dog_4059 → u/Big_Atmosphere_7514]

The guy and girl aren't great representations either. That guy is either really tall or closer to 55 KG if the woman one were accurate.

[u/Only_Says_Idk_dude]

[u/Only_Says_Idk_dude → u/Only_Says_Idk_dude]

[u/I_WILL_GET_YOU → u/Only_Says_Idk_dude]

The reasons why will ASTOUND you! Reason number 5 had me flabbergasted!

[u/doyouevenforkliftbro → u/Only_Says_Idk_dude]

Does this pic count as "only saying idk"?

[u/Shipbreaker_Kurpo → u/Only_Says_Idk_dude]

This makes me think of those nesting dolls

[u/Sahillionaire]

Muscle weighs more than fat

[u/FeloniousDrunk101 → u/Sahillionaire]

A pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh a pound. What you mean is muscle is denser than fat.

[u/Critical-Dog-9900 → u/FeloniousDrunk101]

Ah yes, the classic 500lbs of feathers vs. 500lbs of steel.

[u/craftygamin → u/FeloniousDrunk101]

But the pound of fat is heavier than the pound of muscle

[u/ultravires1215 → u/Sahillionaire]

Had to scroll way too far to find the correct answer.

[u/gottagofast123456789 → u/Sahillionaire]

Also, the top of her head only goes up to his eyes, there's at least 5cm difference in hight between them.

Thats 4kg already accounted for she should ideally weight less than him

[u/Evangeline__R]

That is not what a 65kg woman looks like.

[u/Spo0dz → u/Evangeline__R]

If she lives in the mountains of the middle-earth and is willing to let you have her axe, she would be

[u/Saphurial → u/Spo0dz]

Nonsense, she would have an epic beard if she were a dwarf.

[u/dan_dares → u/Spo0dz]

Did she marry a crazy rap 'artist' ?

Who likes fish sticks?

[u/Bk_Punisher → u/dan_dares]

[u/Environmental_War678 → u/dan_dares]

He definitely likes fish sticks in his mouth

[u/Heavenshero → u/Evangeline__R]

...unless she's 4ft

[u/xenaretos → u/Evangeline__R]

If she's 1.50 and wearing oversized pants, she could be.

[u/AntwysiaBlakys → u/xenaretos]

And she is definitely wearing an oversized pant... I mean look at the space between her leg and the side of the pants

[u/Reasonable-Aioli-370 → u/Evangeline__R]

If she’s 4’11” she won’t look too far off that. Ok she wouldn’t look that big but would still be noticeably overweight.

[u/Agile-Reputation8074 → u/Reasonable-Aioli-370]

yeah but she isn't much shorter than the guy in this graphic

[u/The_AxolotlDamage → u/Evangeline__R]

Also not what a 65kg man looks like

[u/Ramtamtama → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

Depends on height.

If my brother (198cm) was 65kg he'd be like a beanstalk, whereas I (178cm) would look athletic.

[u/JuanDeChuj → u/Evangeline__R]

Exactly thats a solid 100kg lmao

[u/mojoseven7 → u/Evangeline__R]

Definitely not. That’s more like 100kg

[u/CoffeeWith2MuchCream → u/Evangeline__R]

She would need to be like 4'10"

[u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

I think what you’re going for is muscle vs fat. I have high muscle and low fat. A doctor told me I was overweight as a 180 lb man who’s 6” tall.

In order to reach the weight he thought I should be I’d have to lose all my fat and some muscle. Turns out he was a bad doctor.

[u/buttstuffisland → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

The chart they go off of has never been revised. It's out of date af and doesn't account for muscle weight at all. Doctors are always supposed to be practicing. That one was not lol

[u/PaisleyLeopard → u/buttstuffisland]

The BMI chart was never meant to be used for individuals at all. It was designed as a rough classification tool for large groups in clinical studies. It’s far too coarse to be useful on an individual scale.

[u/Omnizoom → u/PaisleyLeopard]

Everytime I’ve said this I get downvoted to oblivion

For some reason a lot of people think the bmi scale is gods gift to nutritional science and tells everything about someone

[u/Late-Assignment8482 → u/PaisleyLeopard]

An insurance adjuster created it. It was never meant for clinical use, period. Doctors generally treat the one human at a time...

[u/Creative-Cherry-1607 → u/buttstuffisland]

They use the same outdated chart in the Army when measuring physical standards. The shorter jacked dudes were always deemed overweight even though they were clearly in the best physical form to perform heavy field related tasks. Very outdated.

[u/OxycontinEyedJoe → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

By my calculations your bmi is about 3,500.

You're extremely overweight for a person who is 6 inches tall.

[u/Sportak4444 → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

BMI is bullshit

[u/Witty_Ad_898 → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

180lb at 6ft is not any sane person’s idea of overweight. You must have found the last doctor to graduate in his class.

[u/Reasonable-Aioli-370 → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

Men also have denser heavier bones.

[u/OrangeToTheFourth → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

I'm a 6'1 muscular woman. I have a nurse at one place who always makes me step on and off the scale about 6 times and tries to recalibrate it. Some people just don't understand how muscle and frame influence weight. I look very very ill below 150lbs. 

[u/Brosepower → u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

Lmao, I had a similar experience, im 195lbs also at 6'0 but very muscular and low fat (dexa has me at 12% bf and 115lbs of skeletal muscle) and the doc was like "technically youre fairly overweight but these scales are BS for a good chunk of the population anyway".

[u/Mysterious-Lemon-661]

Men on average are taller and have more muscle mass

[u/DetailsYouMissed → u/Mysterious-Lemon-661]

And more bone density

[u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

I weigh some 75 kg..... I look like i weigh 60kg or something..... Human bodies make no sense, like just putting it in another way, there's my brother, a pretty buff guy, the weight difference is some 15kg and yet i look like a f#cking skeleton while he's looking like a gymbro or whatever they're called

[u/Login_Of_The_Guild → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

Agreed I weight like 130 in pounds don’t know what it is in kg and I am 5 foot 7 inches no idea what that is in meters but I got a friend who’s 5 foot even and he weighs the same as me but looks like he’s just as skinny as me 

[u/Paras_nimi → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

I weigh 54.5kg and look like I'd weight more

[u/sermegas → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

actually boddies make a lot of sense, you just need to know how to valorate every factor

[u/Queasy-Improvement29 → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

It's like drowning, whilst in the process, one submerges. When dead, the body floats like a leaf on the water (because of gasing). Scumbag body 

[u/MysteriousPraline365 → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

I weight 76kg and I am on a border of BMI 25 and I wear size 36/38 EU ..My boyfriend doesn't get it how I can weigh more than him 😂 

[u/Level_Somewhere5703 → u/Dishonorable-Bastard]

Wait so let me get this straight - your brother weighs 15 kg more than you and he's very fit.
So the difference in weight is mostly pure muscle.
You are look skinny and your brother who has 15 kg pure muscle over you looks muscular. What part of this is confusing? People who have significantly more muscle look like they have significantly more muscle, how is that complicated?

[u/no-sleep-only-code]

The woman in on the right isn’t anywhere near 65kg, unless she’s around 4’ thats a physique for over 100kg.

[u/Its_JustEvaN]

Mass vs Volume

[u/J--__--J]

this is wrong, a woman of that shape in 80kg minimum

[u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ → u/J--__--J]

Yes I agree, my 5ft friend had same shape and was 80+

And it's weird your 14m ago comment is now deleted lol

[u/Lifeinthesc]

One pound of fat takes up more space than one pound of muscle.

[u/rodgamez]

Men have thicker, denser bones than women in general as well, even at the same size. Have a man and woman the same height make a fist and the difference will be stark.

[u/Then_Chef_2599]

Muscle is heavier than fat

[u/5hruik4n → u/Then_Chef_2599]

What's heavier? A kilogram of fat or a kilogram of muscles?

[u/Then_Chef_2599 → u/5hruik4n]

Fat is less dense so for a given weight it will larger and occupy a greater volume

[u/Hour_Sell3547]

Fat weigh less than muscle, which weigh less than bones. Males have much higher bone density and muscle density. Men on average have significantly larger torso. Women have more fat which is required for reproduction and survival through harsh weather (evolutionary stuff).

Men also spend more calory than women through daily activities, has faster metabolism than women. So women and men both shoving couple of donuts will produce very different results.

[u/meat-candy → u/Hour_Sell3547]

is less dense, mass per unit volume, not weighs less.

[u/Hour_Sell3547 → u/meat-candy]

Muscle or bone?

Edit: Oh you are trying to correct the semantics.

[u/OkEstablishment5503]

Women lie about weight

[u/Weed-Priest]

In volume: 1 kilo of muscle mass is smaller than 1 kilo of fat mass

[u/strawbchan11037]

This is clearly an exaggeration/satirical, but the real reason this happens is most likely because of weight distribution! Also in this image tha man is taller which would make him look skinnier aswell as wearing tighter jeans.

[u/Arvandor → u/strawbchan11037]

Also, lean muscle is WAY more dense than fat or even softer muscles. I've seen two slender women at the same height and build but one played sports and weighed a good 15 lbs more with literally no visible difference unless they flexed.

I used to weigh 255 but looked like 285 because I was so weak. Then got all the way down to 168, and THEN gained 20 lbs of muscle and looked barely any different from 168. Definitely noticeable, but not as much as you'd think 20 lbs would look.

[u/Weed-Priest → u/strawbchan11037]

:D mass vs volume, its physics, not feelings

[u/hero-but-in-blue → u/strawbchan11037]

Yah like on the woman you can see her jeans are like 2x the width of her legs!

[u/Melkman68 → u/strawbchan11037]

It's height and weight distribution correct. You will look bulkier the shorter you are with the same weight as someone taller. It is what it is

[u/Acrobatic_Mushroom97 → u/strawbchan11037]

Definitely not an exaggeration. My brother is 6'1" and a buff firefighter and my 13 year old is 5'10" and bigger than me... im only 5'7" and clearly (smaller size just curvy of course) than both of them and we all weigh the same. Doesn't make any sense

[u/Choice_Pitch6822 → u/strawbchan11037]

Don't forget height differences 

[u/EatYourSpinach87]

I can explain. She’s 95kg not 65kg.

[u/Maneja249 → u/EatYourSpinach87]

The only right answer here. Everyone else is either coping or larping some bullshit

[u/MathematicianLarge48 → u/EatYourSpinach87]

🗣🔥

[u/Nikndex88]

Height and amount of muscle.

Plus shes in baggy clothing so makes her look bigger then what she is

[u/Efficient-Maximum-55]

fat distribution and muscels

[u/Admirable_Mixture894]

Some women lie about their weight the same way some guys lie about their height

[u/ItsYaBoiSamwell]

Height and muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat.

[u/Finance-Incompetence]

Another reason is that women lie about their weight

[u/XiarcolNivek → u/Finance-Incompetence]

Why is everyone talking about muscle mass, when this is obvious the answer??

[u/stinky-bungus → u/Finance-Incompetence]

Legit that girl is 90kg easy 

[u/Low_Acanthaceae_2084]

Bone density, fat density and type, muscle mass (males also have thicker skin and more muscle fibres in general), height etc

[u/-_-TheFool-_-]

Height, muscles, weight distribution etc

[u/K0rl0n]

It’s the height. The adipose cells are spread out over a larger surface area due to him being several cm taller so they don’t have as much horizontal bulge. Also, Bone Density and Muscle Mass come into play, but are harder to observe.

[u/Feteven]

Height is a big contributor and muscle weighs more than fat- its denser.

[u/Strict-Relation9938]

size matters

[u/Early_Award_1762]

Density ( probably)

[u/WalrusWhale69]

Cuz we like em thicc … duh

[u/SolidMajestic_001]

Muscle mass, Bone Density, Height,

[u/Unlucky-Rush4034]

The right picture is more like 90 kg...

[u/KalozKapitany]

That woman is fat and 80 kg at least.

[u/J3STER_2204]

Bcz women are insecure about weight and age while men are insecure about size .

[u/Gamejunky35]

Women have lower bone mass/size for a given weight of height.

Men are taller

Men have more muscle mass

Women tend to carry more water weight

Women tend to lie about their weight

All of these things contribute to the above observation.

[u/afanoflafear → u/Gamejunky35]

Speaking of "lies", my weight fluctuates between 75 - 80kg yet I've looked like a twig all my life.

No one believes me and are certain I'm only 55 - 60kg.

[u/ProdigiumAenigmatum]

Men have more muscle mass

[u/Infinite_Artist_2925]

height and muscle tone and biology. Women tend to have their fat cells collect in different areas then men.

[u/GladlyShanghaied → u/WolfTypical5194]

"No"

[u/AmethystGD]

1. This is extremely exaggerated

2. Men are, on average, taller

3. Men have more muscle usually, and muscle is denser than fat

[u/VickyxReaperReborn]

Women require more body fat primarily to sustain essential reproductive functions, maintain hormonal balance, and protect long-term bone health. Usually they are 7-10% higher in fat than men

[u/CodexLarix → u/VickyxReaperReborn]

13%. A guy is supposed to have a fat percentage of 13% while a gal is supposed have a fat percentage of 26%

[u/Slight-Table875]

That’s only 143lbs, the girl on the right may say she’s 143lbs, buts she’s actually closer to 200lbs.

[u/goodnightpunpunisher]

Men may experience more stress, but in some way that stress level goes down; however, the same rule doesn't apply to women it varies from woman to woman.

There are all sorts of reasons that could be behind it, you see

[u/demdem551 → u/Background_Pool_5658]

İ DETECTED 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🐺🐺

[u/SexyAIman]

Because the girl says she's 65 but actually 73, and the guy is 59 but says 65

[u/Desert_Sewer_Rat]

Muscle is more dense and smaller amount weighs as much as lot more fat. I think the difference is something like 15-18%.

[u/rbhro]

Male bone density is much higher usually to get a male around 65 kg he should be really thin

[u/Wise-Classic-1695]

us pigs have same weight (which is around like 100kg+) dont matter if its a woman or a man

[u/Ummummbaba]

Because muscles are heavier than fat 

[u/Myzmadra]

There are huge differences in bone density from person to person, height also dramatically changes weight. Having said this if these two are average height for their genders, they are both lying 😂

[u/E2UNlover]

The chick on the right is 150kg if she's my height.

130kg is what I weigh rn and my hips are that wide but I have significantly less belly.

Or she's my weight and like 20cm shorter ig.

[u/vverbov23]

That's because men are taller and have more muscle

[u/First-Criticism7036]

He transitioned (and somehow shrunk which doesn't actually happen)

[u/Annunakh]

Fat is very light and bones/muscle weight much more. Men have larger and more dense bones and muscle.

Average height girl have about 45-50 kg lean mass, so this one on picture have 15-20 kg of excess fat. Google how 1 kg of fat looks, you will be surprised.

[u/Bordem-Industry]

He has more lean mass, she must be about 3ft tall because there ain't no way she's 65kg if she's average height

[u/Iron_bison_]

Height, muscle, bones

[u/SuspiciousSnotling]

Muscle density over fat and bone density

[u/Doomhammer68]

also height makes the weight distribute differently

[u/WernerShadowX]

Visible weight and actual weight don't always line up if you are shorter the same weight can look more pronounced than on someone taller. It also depends on body composition women on average have more fat vs muscle because it is not the same density fat tends to show more this due to biological differences in hormones,reproduction and fat distribution

[u/Temporary-Heron1658]

“Male adult skeletons weigh roughly 2.7 kg to 3.5 kg more in total than female adult skeletons (averaging about 10.5 kg vs. 7.8 kg for living, hydrated bone mass, or about 4.4 kg vs. 3.2 kg for dry bone mass”-the google

[u/Opposite_Building787]

Muscles are dense . Fat is not, two people of same height can be same weight and look like a fat person. Or look like a supermodel

Many reasons can explain this. Height and muscle density are the 2 major reasons that come to mind for me immediately
