There's a pretty heated discussion going on about what "curvy" means on another thread. How do you describe your body type?
I could be called "curvy" based on my measurements. I'm an hourglass, but a very full hourglass, so I much prefer the terms zaftig or roundy.
ETA: I hate "plus size" and "thick."

I haven't seen this other thread, but I have been referred to as curvy quite alot. I've got big boobs, big hips and small waist, I tend not to personnaly describe my body type, like I can't think of a situation where I would have to do that, I'd probably just say "girl" or something.0

I call myself curvy on dating sites =P
In person I call myself a stud.
MAUAHAHAAHHAAH
I've got dikidoo, my belly sticks out further than my dikidoo!0 -
I have an hourglass figure, though it's slightly pear shaped. There's about 2 inches difference between my hips and bust. there's 10 inches btwn my hips and my waist.0

Athletic. I've got pretty broad shoulders, narrow hips, and muscular thighs and arms. I actually had a doctor ask me once if I was a swimmer, because his niece was, and she had shoulders like mine.
My body type gets the job done.0 -

Thick is OK for other people! Just not me.0 -
I'm an hourglass shape and I wouldn't want any other shape. I love my curves, very proud of them. I have 'thick' thighs, I find nothing wrong with being "thick" - i think its nice....thats just my opinion0

:indifferent: no really, that is how I would describe it:grumble:0 -
I like the descriptions that have been around for decades. Apple, Pear, and Hour Glass. Almost anyone fits in one of the categories. To describe a woman as 'thick" is offensive. To me, it just sounds bad.. maybe because thick can also be used to describe someone who is mentally challenged.
Edit: Oh, I'm an apple..... right now.0 -
Reading the other thread gave me a headache :grumble: , I couldn't even go pass the second page :laugh: ...But I "use" to describe my body type as hourglass but yea I don't think so anymore..I think since I have gained weight, I have become more of a pear shaped.0

Chubby with muscles......0

I have a swimmer's body type: broad shoulders, narrow hips and I was not blessed as much as I would have liked to as far as breast size.... but I've stopped comparing myself to the curvy ladies: I'm happy with "fit" me.0
