It's when you get a form and you write in the answer's, you fill it out.

[dobermann28]

filling out is just you muscels getting bigger to cope with your increased weight as ytou grow older.

nothing special about it...its just your body compinsating for your bigger weight!

It's reaching your full potentional in terms of muscle/weight for your frame. Notice how a lot of teens are lanky and skinny with little muscle but they have broad shoulders and look like they can pack on some mass? Well once they "fill out," they will have added muscle to their frame and will have a more solid building.

It means you're still growing and haven't stopped yet. Like Jessica Alba in Sin City, she grew up and filled out!

It is what happens to your girlfriend almost immediately after you get married

Not true. Teenagers will fill out naturally and they can't do anything about it. People grow when they are in shape too. Some people fill out in there early 20's too. I don't think people like DLH moved up out of laziness in their early careers. He filled out. If you're talking about mid 20's then yeah you might have a point.
