Okay, I hear women all the time say that they're not overweight but "got curves." Some women who say this are so unhealthy. So, I thought to myself if women seem to think that being overweight is actually them being curvy what do guys think about a curvy woman? As in what do guys consider to be curves.
I happen to think curves are women who have an hourglass shape and are "thick" but not overweight. The actress "Scarlett Johansson" quickly comes to mind when I think of curves.
I know guys say a confident woman makes them sexy, is that the case when an overweight woman thinks she's sexy and doesn't try to start being healthy?
And what do the women on MFP think?
I don't mean to offend anyone on here whatsoever, I am overweight and working towards my healthy lifestyle. I don't call myself curvy because I don't consider my extra weight curves. So, I feel comfortable thinking out loud with this thought.

You are so right about "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"! I didn't mean to sound so vain in my post! I'm just very curious about the topic.0 -

Oh my! There's an image! :happy:0 -
I found this on the internet, and couldn't say it better . . .
"Curvy does not mean fat, obese, thick, overweight, plus size or full figure. It just means there is a curve definition and healthy."0 -

Curvy is a type of body frame that I read as being hour glass or pear shaped. Curvy is not a definition of body composition.0 -
These days it seems like fat women use this term to try to justify there lazy/sedentary lifestyles.0

To me, curvy = chubby0

Curvy is a body shape- some athletic/model shapes are not curvy.0

Curvy =/= overweight. You can be "not overweight" and still curvy.0

There are all different ways to be curvy. I'm tiny, but I have a curvy figure. Other woman are bigger than me and very curvy. Curvy can apply to the breasts, the hips, the booty, and a small waist. Usually a 10 plus inch difference between the waist and the curves. But, curvy can be hourglass or pear shaped. I'm sure some big boobed women with straight body types are curvy also (not sure what that body type is, maybe apple).
Edit: this topic usually causes a lot of drama on mfp. People have strong opinions and arguments on the word curvy and some people are possessive over it. It doesn't matter to me how people use the word.0 -

I'm 5'8", 42D-33-40, and I wear a size 8. How is that chubby?0 -
Why on earth do you care so much to where you need strangers to define what a curvy woman is?0

sweet. yet another thread where people try to get 100% agreement on a definition of a body type even though it's completely and utterly meaningless. if you're happy with your shape, who gives a damn what other people call it? if you're unhappy, start controlling your calories and exercising, change yourself, not the label.
pears, apples, hourglasses, curvy, whatevs. out.0 -
