Are you fat?

Why am I not surprised it was Japan to be the first country to outlaw obesity?

OT: I don't have a tape measure on me at the moment, but I don't think I'm fat.

This is not about whether you think you are fat or not. This is about whether or not you are fat by Japan's standards.

"how is a six foot tall foreigner supposed to have a 33-inch waist?"

Damn Japanese bastards being tallist!

This is not about whether you think you are fat or not. This is about whether or not you are fat by Japan's standards.

I understand that, which is why I explained to you that I don't have a tape measure with me. I was making a guess as to what my wasteline would be.

I'm not fat.

I'm just going to say yes cause I cba to find measuring tape and in my opinion I'm OBESE.

Nope.

EDIT: I'll go measure in a bit. :u

Just measured myself and I'm around 29 - 30 inches.

Men's pants sizes are measured in inches. If you still wear boys' sizes, then you're probably not obese.
28 x 32 is mine, 28 around and 32 in length.

My waist is about 29 inches. My pants are 30x32.

Japan going in the right direction. If you're fat, gtfo.
Obviously, they're going to take in account height, and, that you might not be visibly fat, much less obese.

My waist is about 29 inches. My pants are 30x32.

Exactly this.

I really want to see how this turns out. Silly Japanese.

I think I'm like 28~29?
Derp.

ITT: Denial.

When I was in Japan for two weeks, I only saw two (noticeably) fat Japanese people. :o

I'm somewhere around 32x36 or something. I'm skinny as hell but tall as fuck.

36.

I am, 6'1 and 200 lbs. I box and I exercise daily. So I'm fat?

A healthy waistline for a woman is between 32 and 23 inches. For a man, it's between 45 and 32 inches.

height: 6 ft 0 in.
32 (or 33) x 34 pants
Weight about 182 pounds.

So I'm technically not considered fat by japan standards, or am I?

I'm sure there's more depth to it than waistline. There has to be alternations in the law to adjust to each body type. I think those two stated waistlines are for the average body type of Japan.
