I weigh 170 and am 5'11", so I'm assuming either these guys are deliberately guessing high so as to make me feel like I look even heavier than I am or else they have no idea what certain weights actually look like. It really doesn't work on me, as my doctor has assured me that I'm healthy and fit and my girlfriend regularly tells me I'm gorgeous without attaching any "to me" bullshit to it. But I an definitely imagine it working on a woman with lower self-esteem.
