    So I'm going to take this to mean the opposite gender or whatever gender you are attracted to, in my case it is men. While I can (and do) totally appreciate the hard core "cut" body type (aka no curves), I am far more attracted to a man with more bulk. NOT FAT, just not skinny. Skinny men = bleh for me.

    I'm into a pear shape sort of body.

    I have an hourglass shape, but every girl I genuinely fancy has had larger hips and a small or average chest.

    I got curves and I love me
    My boyfriend's seem to love me too just the way I am lol

    I think if a person feels beautiful they will appear to others as beautiful too, it's not a cocky or rude confidence but a true joy from within that stems from the ability to see and appreciate beauty in all things including myself <3

    I think it would depend on your body frame

    I would not like to lose my curves. I also don't think I have to worry about that at all. My body type has rounded contours even at lower weights. It's all about heredity whether a body has curvy contours or more straight ones. I would not give a preference for any particular body type; a healthy body is beautiful.

    Now the men who are looking for a bubbly personality, I am definitely not your girl lol. But that's okay; I'm married. We're goths (duh), with a snarky twisted sense of humor and an enjoyment of science fiction, adventure games, dancing.... but yeah we can be a little morbid and bubbly just isn't available chez nous. :P

    I would definitely rather be curvy. Not online dating kind of curves (where they actually have rolls) but boobs booty and hips kind of curves.

    Lol. I am online dating ready then. I got the spring rolls and a little bit more. Guess that's why I'm on MFP.

    A woman is supposed to have an hourglass shape to her. Its what defines a woman and makes her instantly recognizable. Some are more pronounced than others personally I like something proportional, not overly exaggerated and kind of right in the middle. She needs to have feminine hips and a nice set on top.

    Have you studied ornithology long?

    Can you be thin and have curves?! Or no?! I thought you could & I was pretty solid in the "that's for sure a female" dept-- but apparently you're either bones, or a woman... Paint me confused.

    It can be confusing because people often apply different definitions for certain words. A person can be both thin and curvy, though, depending on meaning and context.

    A curvilinear aesthetic, to me, is simply defined by a sloping silhouette between points A and B somewhere along the body; the curvature itself can be due to the amount and distribution of bone, muscle and fat mass about the points of reference. For example, a curvy booty exists because of the arching lines between points A (lower back) and B (top of hamstrings), C (outer hip) and D (tailbone) with a large amount of muscle mass, with some fat, at the middle of each buttock.

    A thin person, to me, has small diameter bones with an overall low amount of skeletal surface area relative to length. I will note that having a wide pelvic girdle, alone, does not exclude a person from being considered thinly built when total skeletal surface area is being considered. Additionally, such an individual can be considered thin(ner) if they possess low amounts of fat and/or muscle mass.

    I have run into very strong feelings from people by using the word curvy. Because my body type is very small in certain ways, but people would call me curvy because of my shape. In particular I have a very small rib cage and waist, but my hips/booty are 11 inches bigger than my waist and each thigh is just barely smaller than my waist measurement. In fact with just the slightest tug on a corset my waist is exactly the same as my thighs (20 inches), but changes my waist to hip ratio to 14 inches. I am a dancer. So, I recently realized it's better if I say I am shapely (not curvy) because that's descriptive without bringing things to mind that cause strong reactions and opposition and misunderstanding.
