Crap. I just realized that Starting Strength made me "obese". BMI is bullshit anyway. Wasn't it based on the weight/height of Frenchmen circa 1900 for insurance purposes? (Or something like that?)
Slight weight gain = many more compliments from girls

I'll chime in with my experice here too.
I'm one of those guys that naturally skews skinny and since I eat healthy I often tend to stick around the 165 range.
A lower body injury put me out of the game for almost a year and as a result I shot up to 180. I'd say maybe I put on 3lbs of mucles during that time at the most.
As long as I had a shirt on the compliments like, "You look a hell of lot sexier now that you're not skinny" seemed to be free flowing.
I think what goes on is that as long as youre not a fat ass your added weight gain gets perceived as muscle when you are cloaked in a long sleeve shirt.
The girls just see wider shoulders and larger arms. They aren't smart enough to realise that your new 15" bicepts are 30% more flab....until it becomes beach season

The problem with that chart is that its still saying that a body where 1/4 of it is lard is "normal".
Yeah right, the last "slightly overweight" guy definitely has some small titties. What has our society come to.
