    Breeding material. Child bearing hips. Also things I don't love being called.

    I don't know about you, but I feel like a horse in farm when people talk to me like that.

    Lol, I never thought about feeling like a farm animal, however that is a good point.

    hellz to the no! A compliment is a compliment, people! Unless its from a passive aggressive snarky mean person. In the latter case I would highly recommend still taking it as a compliment to piss them off.

    I am going to say Voluptuous, is a good thing. you can be Fat or you can be Voluptuous. When I say that a woman is voluptuous I mean it in a great way. I mean that they have great curves that are VERY fitting to there body or frame.

    Love this! Love the Princess Bride & I love being called voluptuous. I want to tone up & trim, but I never want to lose my curves! I was still curvy when I had a skinnier waist.

    Just asked my Husband what that word means to him, and he answered "Curvy, and sexy as Hell."

    Agreed 1000%

    Voluptuous is a well proportioned fat woman.
    I hate the word curvy because it's used to describe obese women, when curvy should be someone of a healthy weight with an hourglass or pear figure.

    Bettie page was curvy, petite & curvy.
    Marylin was a bit of a yoyo when it comes to weight, so you can't really categorize her body type.

    voluptuous actually REALLY means pleasing to the senses/delightful, so, no, I don't hate it. I'd rather have "pleasing curves" than none at all, thank you.

    Rubenesque, on the other hand...

    Totally agree! I have got some great curves! I do not want to become a stick figure, not sure if the Hubs would go for that look

    I've never been called voluptuous, but I think I would like it. I usually get "cute". Voluptuous sounds more glamorous and sexy. But I'm sure it would depend on the manner in which it was said.

    It's silly, I have always hated that word too. Even the word "curvy". But I realize it's actually a good thing, so long as the person whom is saying this is sincere.

    I got it a lot when I need to lose a few, but now that I am down to a comfortable size- I find I still get "curvy" quite often. It more so has to do with they way your body is structured, rather than a nice way of calling someone chunky. So now, I'd say it's more of a compliment. Just take it as if they were saying "hey, you have a nice hip-to waist-to chest ratio", haha. :)

    Being called VOLUPTUOUS is a compliment....doesnt mean ur fat at ALL! HENCE:

    1. relating to, characterized by, or consisting of pleasures of the body or senses; sensual

    2. disposed, devoted, or addicted to sensual indulgence or luxurious pleasures

    3. provocative and sexually alluring, esp through shapeliness or fullness: a voluptuous woman

    Beyonce! Hello!

    So you cant call a petite person voluptuous?

    I always took it as a compliment. I know that I look so much better with a bit of meat on my bones! Happier too! Not to say that I could be a little less volumptuous in some areas; but just the same I like it much better than "oh you have such a pretty face"!

    Never known of any man who thinks Voluptuous means fat. It means curvy, busty, and HOT! to me and every man I have ever met. I like women to have curves, it is attractive to me. Just my opinion....

    voluptuous is a plus sized woman with good ratio.
    Curvy is a petite woman with good ratio.

    That's funny! I can see it being a compliment, but when I'm feeling down and out and hear that, it doesn't make me feel better I know that much. LOL

    I call MYSELF a voluptuary - which is one of the forms of voluptuous...

    which means someone who is into pleasure, the senses (like great smells, massages, etc) is sensual and maybe, perhaps, has a sexy body that is beautifully curvy.

    The great writer Colette was a voluptuary who has a spectacular story.

    The word I don't like being called is BUBBLY. Grrroooowwwwwllllll.

    OMG, I laughed when I saw this. I freaking love it!
    I agree with most on here. I'd take voluptuous as a compliment. I'd rather be that vs. some skinny chick without curves. :tongue:

    who decides that second is voluptuous she does not look it to me

    voluptuous is a plus sized woman with good ratio. Like Kim Kardashian for example, that's voluptuous.
    Curvy is a petite woman with good ratio, like bettie page, scarlet johannsen & beyonce.
