    I'm sick & tired of hearing the word 'curvy' when addressing overweight people & at the same time the phrase 'real women have curves'. Overweight or not, we all have curves namely different types of curves like rectangle, inverted triangle, pear, hourglass, circle, diamond, number 8, etc. PERIOD

    I really really really love curves and a few rolls are not a deal breaker.

    Real women don't have fake boobs, but fake boobs will make those curves bust out all over the G.D. place. WINNING!

    I have been saying this for years, why has noone listened to me?
    Curves is a body shape... not size!

    Beyonce...best curves ever!!! Sometimes I think I'm curvy, then I remember I don't have much of a bust anymore, aha.

    Im with you...my hips measure 40, my waist 26, and my bust? A paltry 30.5. :cry:

    You really have no control over that unless you can somehow change your body's bone structure.

    Pretty sure "Real Women" are born with a Vajayjay. Has nothing to do with curves, bone structure, real or fake boobs etc.

    BTW
    - Curves does not equal fat rolls

    You make the very best of what your family genes gave you. If you're clean and healthy and carry yourself with respect, you are beautiful.

    My mom was flat-chested and had no *kitten* either. She was a 6 ft tall gymnast.

    Thankfully I got my tits from my dad's side of the family. But I did inherit her flat butt.

    So I lift.

    You make the most of what you were given.

    She probably wasn't. She probably wasn't even your mother because if she wasn't curvy, she wasn't real and therefore could not get pregnant or give birth.

    Now you know the truth.

    I thought people on a website like this wouldn't describe "Real Women" based purely on physical appearance

    And.............Real women do come in all shapes and sizes!!! We all know that!!! C'mon people....I'm sure the OP was just coining a phrase and posted the picture along with the caption to promote a healthy body image for women in general.

    she said real women have bobs and a booty. I say the rolls ain curves thing all the dang time, but I never add in the tits/butt thing cause of my mom.

    Im not offended and i fo sho aint mad, just think it sucks that there is always some kind of 'Youre A Real Woman If' thread.

    Obviously, REAL WOMEN HAVE IT WRITTEN ON THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. (or birth registration if youre from Jersey)

    There is nothing wrong with curves, toothpick skinny is soooo unattractive, just my personal oppinion!

    I hate ad campaigns that celebrate "real women" but still show unhealthy, obese women. Dove soap comes to mind.




    I particularly enjoy the Dove ads and think they're beautiful.


    I hate the Dove ads because they're condescending. "You look you great. Use our cellulite cream." In previous iterations, the models didn't look very good.

    The shot of Beyonce, or a Kim Kardashian (despite my disdain for her) is more accurate for modern curves. Marilyn Monroe is curves. Jessica Beal is athletic.

    I totally agree. I also heard somewhere that "curves" on women mean she has a defined waist, with larger hips and bust. If you're obese, most likely your waist has been lost.
    Some women (Christina Applegate) are thin and still have a rectangular shape (little to no defination in her waist).

    I agree too but I have to say, I am obese and I have a very defined waist to the extent I can't get skirts and trousers to fit :laugh: My booty and boobies are the problem: I'm hoping to lose some of my "curves"!!!

    ^^This! I have the biggest problem finding jeans that fit properly. I totally have an hourglass shape...it's just a VERY LARGE hourglass. LOL I refer you to my most recent photos on my profile. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/photos/view/11066630

    If I buy pants small enough to fit my waist, they're way to tight through the hips, butt, and lower abdomen, then they get HUGE through the legs (I have pretty muscular legs, so they're disproportionately smaller than the rest of my body). It's very frustrating. Can't wait until the day that all of my parts fit together the way they should.

    Nope real women are real women! Lol ;P

    In all seriousness I would give anything to have a slender body rather than a 'curvy' one, all my friends look incredible with small dainty hips and small chests...then theres me looking like a chubstrr compated to them

    I have curves, I am obese, and I happen to live in a 3-D world. My behind and my bust curve posteriorly and anteriorly, respectively.

    I hate this idea that you can say something horrible about a group of people just because you used to be a part of that group. "All poor people are just filthy lazy whiners, and I can say that because I used to be a poor person."

    Curve: A line or outline that gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of its length.

    Rolls could be argued to possess more curves than an hourglass figure. I am curvy in many directions. :)

    And to the folks who feel that obese women have no right to be proud of themselves, feel good about themselves, possess sex appeal and confidence, I can't begin to say how saddened I am by that attitude. I don't have to wait until I hit some magickal arbitrary number on the scale, or measure ratio, before I can proudly shake my booty. Health isn't just a number. You have no clue what those women have done to lose weight, how much they have lost so far.

    Real women reject all the negativity directed at their body, whether it be slim or fat...and aim to stop feeding the hate.
