"Ample" ... "Average" ... "Athletic" ...


Okay, you selected "Ample" as your Body Type ... from the list of choices presented as:

Average
Slim / Petite
Athletic
Ample
A Little Extra Padding
Large

Just what the heck does "ample" mean? The dictionary says it means, "Of large or great size, amount, extent, or capacity". Based on that, I would surmise it to be more than "Average" and more than "A Little Extra Padding" ... it almost just means "Large", but we'll assume that "Large" is the top category ... and this might be a better order of presenting the choices ... or maybe there should be sample pictures, or body outlines to help guide people in choosing ...

Slim / Petite
Athletic
Average
A Little Extra Padding
Ample
Large

The problem I've seen is a few times I saw a lady use "Ample", and she was more of an "Average" lady ... possibly with "A Little Extra Padding", but definitely not "Large". I think some people may be thinking of "Ample" as an indicator on the size of their "stuff" ... It's no wonder these searches don't always work ...

I couldn't agree with you more!! I have often wondered why there wasn't a definition to these categories. Glad to see I'm not the only one confused. lol

Exactly!

I think they should have "shape figures" next to the choices so people could tell ... or perhaps even actual pictures as examples ...

OR ...

You send in your picture and an impartial person categorizes you ...

Just ANYTHING to get some consistency ...
