All I want to know is are they not fat.

It is interesting on the wikipedia charts that no women are over 5'6"
(which is ok for me as I'm only 5'9).

On the charts, I'm surprised the "bust" has anything to do with the dress
size since boobs vary irespective of the belly (and the ones with belly fat
are those I'm trying to avoid talking to).

Also "back-waist length" seems uninteresting as long as I know the height.

So waist and hip are all that matter (by way of example, my Levis are
34x32).

Analyzing the charts, a "6" has a 37 inch waist which is larger than mine
so I can agree with what someone said that anything under 6 is ok.

This is kind of shocking because most of the women on Craigslist seem to
say they are a 10 or 12 (one said she was a 20!) - all of which are
positively obese based on these charts.

Given my hips are 34 inches, and assuming my selection criteria is I want
the woman to be "smaller" than I am, the only size that has hips smaller
than me is a "2". But I agree that isn't going to work. 

It looks like I'll have to compromise a bit as someone noted to accept
anyone with a 2,4,6 (maybe asian girls) and ignore anything with two digits
in it.

My hips = 34 inches
Size 2 = 34 inches (avg)
Size 6 = 37.5 inch hips
Size 10 = 39.5 inch hips
Size 12 = 41 inch hips

Still, rather than go on pure numbers, it would be nice if there was a
program that drew out their silouette or had in its database known women to
compare sizes to to get a more accurate feeling for how the woman looks
without a tape measure on her.
