That's an average? Dude - a huge chunk of the girls you date are underweight, possibly dangerously so. There's nothing good with that extreme either.

BMI is good for telling when someone is fat but the bottom end is not so accurate anymore. BMI was designed mid industrial revolution so there were a lot more factory jobs before machines. Here is a dexa scan that someone posted on reddit that shows a normal but obese body fat %. This is pretty much your average office/couch potato.

That's a guy. For women BMI is even more lenient. Sedentary people don't have a lot of muscle mass and that's fine but that doesn't mean you should replace it with fat to meet an outdated measurement. Women and some dyel guys can certainly have underweight BMI and be perfectly healthy.

I'm aware - but 100 pound girls at 5'5" are generally not a healthy size/

Maaaybe you got the numbers wrong then, because that average is a sub-18 bmi :P

I'm 5'4" and weight about 105. I've been like this since middle school.
I did get really sick a few years ago and my weight dropped to 82 lbs. It took me about 2-3 years to get back up to a healthy weight.
