How many pounds does he need to lose?
He needs to be 168 pounds to ease into the top of the healthy range. And that's just the top, the moment he hits 169 pounds he creeps back into the overweight category for his height. So honestly closer to 160-165. Maybe allow some more if he is in the gym and is very fit.
At 203 pounds a 5 ft 9 nikka enters the OBESE range... so yeah, dude needs to lose like 30 minimum.

is average earning=broke
Do you know how many 50-70 year old men try to throw money at 30-40 year old women? lol. Once you hit 30, there's entirely new trick market for women, and these men actually have money now.
