Maybe it's a generational thing? Thick to me=Beyonce, stupid=stupid

Well.. it's supposed to be a compliment, but black men like bigger girls. So, it's up to you to interpret it how you will.

Someone said Jenifer Lopez is thick.. um.. no she isnt

Yeah I don't know how to exactly take it. To them they like bigger girls and that's great, lol ,but I don't want to be a "bigger" girl. If it meant like Beyonce thick....I think I could handle that, she's beautiful! Either way I guess it's motivation to keep losing this weight.

I feel the same way. I hate that they typically like bigger girls and then they like me, cos I dont want to be classified as "big"! But, honestly, at least they give compliments! I can't remember the last time a lil nerdy caucasian gave me a direct compliment!

Context. Thick can mean slightly meaty, curvy, or stupid/dense. I don't think it's generational. If anything, it's often times cultural, but I use it both ways.

Thick like cornbread is a good thing. Take it as a compliment.

Personally, I would like to be skinny thick. Small tight tummy, nice little hips, and keep my boobs. Is this possible??? haha

That happened to a good friend of mine. She was running and some black guy said to her, "Damn girl, you've got some thick legs!" He meant it as a compliment, but as a white girl, she just went home and cried.

This. I've never heard it being used like this before.

shan889

Yeah that night I literally went home and cried


Funny how things differ culturally. To them thick means beautiful but to white girls, you just called me fat. It's funny how we put so much emphasis on being thin and we think that white guys want thin, so that's what we want to be. Crazy how it works.

Here in Australia.. you call someone thick your saying they are Dumb... lol

I grew up in Detroit. Once when I was working out a lot a male friend told me I better be careful I didn't lose my butt, he said " a man needs something to hang onto."

It's a compliment, totally. Great job!

It's true. It's definitely a cultural thing. As a "thick" girl I get hit on by black men and Hispanic men all of the time. Way more often than white men. I also think, in general, black men are often more confident and more likely to say what's on their mind. White men are far more reserved.

achampionsheart

definitely a compliment....

There's toned and tight "thick" in the right places THEN theres sloppy "thick" with a gut.
Different people may fall into different categories.. I think its apparent which ones good and which ones bad lol

Got to love it, but ya I would of taken that as a compliment. . I know with my bootay. . which I am proud of lol. .even when I lose weight I always have curves and had a friend that told me because of said curves when I was in college he wanted to take me home to georgia to meet his momma. . :blushing: This was at the gym. . I was totally embarassed, but knew it was meant as a compliment.

So just smile and say thanks.:flowerforyou:
