Is curvy the same thing as fat?

Many moons ago, when I was at my perfect size, I was 34, 22, 38. That's because that's how my body is built. I nearly looked anorexic in my upper chest at that size. So, I wouldn't go any lower in weight to reach a perfect set of measurements below my waist. I just have a small top, big hips and an extra small waist, a pear shape.. Everyone's body is different. Find out what your overall shape is, and your measurements will always follow that. You can't change it by losing weight. When I was that size, Louisiana guys thought I was super hot. Then, I moved to California, and people said I was fat. If I were hispanic or black, the California people would have thought I was a normal shape. People tend to over judge white women for having a "less-than-what- they-think-a-perfect-body-is". You can't live to please others. Be happy with whatever shape you were born with. Flaunt your positives. Back when I was hot, I would wear lots of cutoff shirts, and bras that boosted my breasts, to show off my tiny waist and ample boobs.0

Depends on how the fat is held... lumpy? Smooth? Muscle curves rock.0

A circle is A curve. If you're curvy... you're not as much fun to kick down a hill.0 -
My measurements are 34-25-38 and people call me curvy. And since curvy is just a nicer synonym for fat, did they really mean I was fat? I'm so confused with the difference between curvy vs. fat. What do you classify as "curvy"?
Males have their own saying. When a male says "I'm a big guy", 9 out of 10 times he's obese.0 -

No. A circle is round. This is a curve:
And this is a curve:
I don't quite see how either one would form a circle0 -
The amount of threads and arguments (not happening in this thread as in others) and possessiveness over the meaning of the word curvy has only revealed to me just how petty some people can be.0

When men use the word, its meant positively (correctly, bcuz they wouldnt call a fat woman just curvy), when women use it they just mean fat (they are trying to be nice). My experience
This^^^
But personally, I don't think curvy is the same thing as fat. However, I've been called thick and that one SUCKS. I wanted to punch that guy. He made me cry! I was smaller then than I am now, come to think of it...0 -

A 2-dimensional shape made by drawing a curve that is always the same distance from a center.
Websters, Wikipedia etc give similar definitions
So, yes, a circle is a curve.0 -
Although some people use curvy as a euphemism for fat, more often than not they actually mean curvy and not fat. Curvy means exactly what it says, that you have curves unlike some very skinny women who have no shape.0

My point is that the curves above do not make a circle.0 -
Honey,
You are definitely curvy; not fat. Work your hourglass figure :-)0 -
My BMI is perfect, and I love my fat right where it is. Without your fat, you'd be nothing but skin and bones.0

What about muscle? Skin, bones, and muscle. But, I agree, of course some fat is more than necessary.0 -
Curvy is busty with tiny waist and nice round hips..fat is fat.0

yes round is a curve so therefore they are equivalent
PS if you spend too much time thinking about this I question how deep your waters run0 -

Not all curves will make a circle, but all circles are a curve.
Therefore, round people are by definition curvy.
Rolls are also curves.
As others have stated, I'm not sure why others get annoyed, upset, etc over how others chose to define themselves.0 -

Yay basic geometry!0 -
During my stint of toying around with online dating, I learned that fat women call themselves curvy to make themselves feel better about being fat. Fat rolls =/= curvy. I always wanted to tell them:
This made my day hahha0 -
I don't get why there are SO many threads about this, and so much controversy, it is a simple concept!
Curvy is a shape. It means you have CURVES. Which, if you are a woman, is a good thing.
Fat is a weight.
One can be curvy and thin. Curvy and fat. Fat and not curvy. Thin and not curvy.
Simple.0 -

No, to me curvy means you have bigger boobs and hips and more of an hourglass figure.0 -

Golly when my measurements were the same as yours I felt like I looked pretty good Sure, I would have been happier with 36 for the hips, but that's not the way my body works. Curvy is not Fat.0

Depends on whose body is being described. I've heard many a female claim curvy when that definitely wasn't the case.
