Looking at the profiles of women recently registered with clubs, I get the impression—purely subjectively—that many of them are on the heavier side (around 160 cm tall and over 50 kg). Is this roughly the modern standard?

Maezawa from the CEO’s office will answer as well. It’s because there are men with skewed attitudes like the questioner’s that women feel they have to lose weight. At 160 cm, the standard weight is 56.3 kg. This is also called a healthy weight—the weight considered medically healthy and less likely to lead to illness. Since you say you like healthy women, you should look for someone around this healthy-weight range. Perhaps you actually prefer women around their beauty weight—the weight that generally gives a slimmer appearance while still maintaining health. For someone who is 160 cm tall, the beauty weight is 51.2 kg. If you mean that health no longer matters and you simply like thin women, then you should look for someone around the model-weight range. At 160 cm, that would be 46.08 kg. That’s quite underweight, but I think many men prefer women around that size. So instead of insisting that you like healthy-looking women, it’s perfectly fine to say you like thin women, even if they’re unhealthy. It’s ultimately a matter of personal preference. For reference, the average height and weight for women are: Age | Average height | Average weight 18 | 155.5 cm | 51.0 kg 19 | 158.0 cm | 52.2 kg 20 | 154.9 cm | 49.9 kg 21 | 158.9 cm | 52.4 kg 22 | 158.3 cm | 50.2 kg 23 | 158.3 cm | 50.7 kg 24 | 157.5 cm | 50.0 kg 25 | 157.9 cm | 50.3 kg So, around 50 kg is normal. I’ll also include a height-and-weight chart.

I’m Fuu, a columnist. You’re really trashing them, aren’t you? Are you a woman, by any chance? I’ve written about this in my column, too. I offer to female members around 160 cm and 50–53 kg—that’s my ideal height and weight range. When someone self-reports her weight, I already assume she’s given a lower number than reality, so I carefully check her figure through photos and videos before making an offer. No problem there. Your judgment is seriously terrible. If everyone at these dating clubs gave off such a troubled vibe, why would they keep attracting more male members? Would men really pay an annual membership fee to date people with that kind of energy? No way（笑） Rest assured: as you said, it seems you’re the only one who feels that way.

A devotee of the media that created a distorted ideal of femininity? You don’t even know what a healthy weight is, so what the hell are you talking about? Stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself: that sagging, protruding belly, that slack skin that can’t even repel water, that thinning hair. There—you feel like throwing up, don’t you? Akari

I’m Kazu, a male member. Gross.

I’m in Seattle. If you look it up, the standard weight for someone who’s 160 cm tall is 56 kg. I guess that’s about average for most people. My ex-wife was around that weight too. Women in the Miss Universe world tend to be above average in looks, so a weight of height minus 110 might seem like the norm. But what do you think?

This just looks like a straight-up insult disguised as a question. So, are you saying that women registered with a club—especially those with long-term memberships—are unhealthy and overweight? You seem to be mistaken about something, but the standard weight for someone who is 160 cm tall is 56 kg. That’s considered a healthy weight. Sure, I probably don’t look thin. It’s fine if you prefer slim women, but deciding on your own that someone looks unhealthy is going too far. And what’s the point of arbitrarily adding 2–3 kg? I reported my weight completely accurately. Seriously, how rude can you be? I honestly think men who can only see women in terms of numbers like “height minus weight equals 120” (which is actually unhealthy) are pathetic. Marika Oh, I overlapped with Seattle-san, haha.

I’m Kamihikoki, a male member. It may just seem that way because people like you tend to stay with the club for a long time. Even if many members aren’t your type, what’s the harm? You can look at it as making it easier to narrow down the people who are more your type. In the end, it comes down to whether you can search for and find one or two favorites.
