Are tall girls much heavier than short girls?

[Anonymous]

We all know tall people tend to be heavier than short people, but what is the exact relationship between height and weight? Linear, square or cubic relationship? I am asking this because I am afraid to date girls who weigh more than me because I'll not be able to handle them, but I can't guess their exact weight because I don't know the relationship between height and weight. My height is average, but I am pretty skinny. Are tall girls supposed to weigh more than me?

Linear (for example, 2 pounds per inch, or give your own ratio in the comments?)

Square (for example, a girl twice as tall as another will weigh 4 times more then her)

Cubic (for example, a girl twice as tall as another will weigh 8 times more then her)

Depends. My girlfriend and sister have nearly the same weight but my sister is nearly foot taller.

[Blanchmess]

Lol i`m both short and skinny. Lifting me would be like lifting a paper.

In general yes. But it depends if she is like model skinny

Speaking as a physicist, it is C.

[abc3643]

I want to explain why...
If a girl is twice as tall in one dimension, then she is also twice the size in the other 2 dimensions as well. Thus twice the height equals 8 times the volume. Assuming same density of the body, the weight goes up 8 times.

Are they really becoming bigger in the 2 other dimensions as fast as they become taller?

[TatyanaTheEmpress]

They have to be, it's a matter of size.

No matter I can carry all of em' easily ;D

[Asker]

I am athletic but skinny, I don't think I'll handle a heavy girl.

[Jan1ssary_]

Comeon bruh be a man.. that won't be a problem, at least for me ;D

[DaddyRollingStone]

Duh, more mass means more weight

[Asker]

What's the point of your comment? Weight = mass * g, but that has nothing to do with height.

[DaddyRollingStone]

Which do you think has more mass, someone that's 5' or someone that's 6'? Supposing that the 5' person is not morbidly obese

Look at the bmi chart

[Autumn-Bunny]

It depends on the person.

[Lemongrass123]

I'm 5'10 and 125lbs.

[Muhammad1999]

You must be very skinny

[Lemongrass123]

@Muhammad1999 not really...

[Asker]

Do you look very skinny? I am a bit shorter than you (average male height in my country), but I weigh more than you. Still I look very skinny.

[Muhammad1999]

Because im only 5'11 , 200lb and im not fat so i though you are extremely skinny

[Flurr]

Neither

[Flurr]

So many different variables and scenarios that I would assume the equation would be of the complex format. If you wanted to describe it in simplier terms using the Real number system I would say it is a Polynomial equation.

[Flurr]

And fyi just because the relation between height and weight is cubic doesn't necessarily mean "8 times" larger.

[Asker]

I know, but I am trying to figure out the approximation.

[Flurr]

You can't generalize, so you have to consider how much muscle to fat ratio they have, the size of their tits, body shape, so you need bust size, cup size, waist, hip, in seems, arm length. Probably even how much iron is in their blood. If you want something accurate that has all other things being equal then your answer is the height of female A divided by the height of Female B times the weight of Female B

[Asker]

Linear relationship is good when you are sure that a girl is just a taller version of another one, but they tend to grow in other dimensions too. There's surely some approximate generalization for this case.

[Flurr]

No there isn't. Height isn't dependent on other variables such as bra size or body fat %, therefore you can only generalize a height to weight relation given all others are considered equal.

they dont have to be
