TER General Board

Slovenia question

I’m going to Slovenia soon and found a local ad board that’s promising. It’s in Slovenian of course, but I’m puzzled by some abbreviations. For example a woman will write “170/65/4.” Obviously the first two are height and weight, but what can the “4” refer to? .

But assuming this person is more than four years old, it's hard to think what it could mean.  Forties, perhaps?

Or perhaps she is expressing her age in cat years, so 7 X 4 = 28?   Makes sense in a way.

Strange lands have strange ways.

The heading for each ad has three fields: age, location and sex (female). So that information is available. The numbers I describe are in the accompanying text.

There are a couple of things that make me a bit unsure.  

 
First off, at roughly 5'7" and around 140 lbs, a size four would be a VERY tight squeeze IMO, she sounds more like a size 7-9 to me,  

 
Secondly, I am talking American dress sizes and she obviously is in Europe where the sizes are much different. I think a size 4 US translates into about a size 32 in European sizes.

 
That said, I did say it was a "guess" and it's the best guess I have at this point. lol

170 cm ~ 5'6".
65 kg ~ 143 lb.
Assuming the usual exaggerations (really 5'5", 155 lb), the 4 might be a self-assessed '4 out of 10' overall score. I applaud her for her honesty.  
.
I like spinners. I'd scan the ads for a 155/45/9 or 155/44/10.  
.
Maybe she wears Italian bras. Italy uses "number" bra sizes. Size 4 = 38 inch = 95 cm bust.

Hmm; I’ll have to scan more ads and see if bra size makes sense.

Scanning the ads I find 2,3, and 4, so I think bra size is the answer, and proxy for bust size.

Hay! I don't bring a tape measure with me! All we know is "less than 1 handful", "1 handful", "more than 1 handful", "almost 2 hands full", ... and sometimes, "lips only", "mouthful", "choking!", "doesn't fit at all", "smothered to death!" ... and the even less specific "niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!"

what kind of number it is.  It just means she is shaped like a stack of radial tires.
