Now he's got curves!0 -
No, he's got rolls. Big difference.0

I love how this has gone from 'fat girls' thinking they are curvy to slim girls/the skinny fat crowd with no curves calling themselves curvy. :huh:
I'm thin yes. But I have very wide hips. Very large chest, and a tiny waist... thus ME being curvy.
Lol girl you sound bitter as hell. I haven't seen body shaming like that since...well... the last post like this came up. You're clearly dealing with envy; step off.
Lol I don't know wtf you're saying. Punctuation is your friend.
BTW: Big boobs =/= hourglass. You've talked to the OP and other people and LITERALLY have said, "I'm curvy, you're not curvy." You, my friend, are the subject of this original post. The people you are attack clearly have hourglass measurements, they're just not... as big as you think they need to be. Like someone else said: .7 ratio from hips to waist. Classic hourglass. You can't be too subjective with math.
"Get a life" is so stereotypically what people say when they're losing an argument they were ALREADY partaking in, if not causing.
1. You should know what words mean before you use them (btw: A dictionary wouldn't help you with grammar. Perhaps a 3rd grade textbook).
2. You were attacking people. You were body shaming. Look THAT term up, too. You specifically told people, "You are not "A." I am "A." That is no different than saying, "You are not pretty. I am pretty" or "You are not thin. I am thin," and in THIS case, there actually IS scientific rationale behind an hourglass figure. People have done the ratios, examined the evolutionary aspect of the shape, etc. You can't just subjectively say, "Lol, you're not a big girl like me, you're not curvy." Which is exactly what you're doing.
3. Again, your "idea of what curvy is" is what this post was about. Women that are overweight and have bigger boobs, butts, and hips call themselves "curvy." Can they be hourglass at a heavier weight? Of course, one would have to be severely obese to obscure body shape that much. But are many women not actual hourglasses (certain waist/hip ratio), but have exaggerated boobs/butt/hips from heaviness? Yes, hence why "curvy" has become synonymous with "heavy" nowadays, HENCE the post.0 -

Marilyn Monroe, she was the one who started those words, and hey by the standards of today she would be considered over weight.
No she would not. That is a myth. Marilyn was TINY. Watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and tell me how overweight she was. There is ONE photoshoot (in the white bathing suit) where she appears a bit heavier, but she was not that size most of her life. Not even close.
In today's clothing sizes, she was probably a 2 or 4.
1. Why are you yelling?
2. Size 16 in the 1950s and 1960s was not the same as a size 16 now. She very well could have been a size 16 at the time.
:laugh: She clearly did not read our earlier posts.0 -

Lol. This post.0 -

A person can be thin or skinny/fat or whatever and still be curvy. Because it refers to the shape of your body, not the amount of fat your body is carrying. I would identify myself as curvy, but I'm sure you would disagree, even though my hips are a full 10 inches bigger around than my waist.0 -

I'm with you, minus I don't have great big boobs and I may be thin (athletic), but my dimensions are 33-25-33, so hourglass, therefore definitely curvy.0 -
Bry, you're just hot. You can call yourself weiner schnitzel and I'm still all over ya.
And FWIW, my vet just called my fat dog voluptuous. She fluffed her hair like the proud bisch she is0 -
I have prepared an illustration for this topic. Which body shape is "curvy"?
Yeah, this is a great example, that women of all different sizes can be curvy. I think women on here are getting strangely possessive of the word/concept. I just thought curvy meant curvy. I'm also, slim, slender, small, fit, but my measurements are 34-24-34. That's a fact, whatever anyone wants to call me. I don't care. People need to chill out a little, and go take a relaxation break. We aren't in middle school.0 -

Not sharing what I think. Just explaining why they are accusing you of yelling.
I am not here to participate in any arguments. I am just here to check out the curves!0 -
First of all I wasnt arguing, second, I dont give a crap what you think, LIke anyone else on here- I can say what I like, it was not offensive- so dont make out like it is. I did not read all the post, why should I. I expressed a opion which im allowed to do. But I do take offense to the way you are picking at what I say.The girl has a nice figure and shes very slim, so good for her. And as far as her boobs go , hers are not as big as mine and I was using mine as example, next you will be saying a size zero is curvey for gods sake, end of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh. You're missing her point.0 -

Lol, and if that size zero has a roughly 10 inch ratio change between her waists and hips, she would be! You were being offensive, YOU made it out to be like that! You admit to not reading a whole post and say, "Why should I?" than rant regardless? If you're offended by me consistently correcting you, with evidence (including quotes of exactly what YOU said), than perhaps you're seeing something you don't want to?
You haven't understood a goddamn word I've said. God bless the USA.0 -

so, you are saying that a person who happens to wear a size 0 cannot be curvy?0 -

Ugh. You're missing her point.
Also, a woman who is a size 0 can be curvy. Because, like so many have mentioned, it's a body shape, not a body size.0 -
I can't believe there are 13 pages on this.
Dude - call yourself whatever you want. That goes for everyone (if you think you are curvy, regardless of what you weight, then by all means, call yourself that).
You should be aware, however, that if you use the term curvy, some folks, particularly those who cannot see you (like over the internets) will think that you mean plus size since the plus size community has adopted that as a common term.
There's lots of terms that different communities appropriate - curvy is one of them. So use it if you want, but understand it may have a different meaning to other folks. And by all means, if you want to start appropriating the term to mean something else, have at it. It took a while for curvy to be associated with plus size; I'm sure over time you could work on getting it associated with something else. No harm, no foul.0 -
I so agree OP! Since when do you have to be overweight to have a big booty either? My 39" inch hips are plenty of badonkadonk for little ole me.0

90% of the time when someone describes themselves as curvy I want to say:
It seems we've gotten far away from what curvy actually is.

I think that when most people describe themselves they use more descriptive words than just one word, so they give an understanding of what they mean. It doesn't matter anyway for someone like me because I'm very happily married. I don't give a **** what losers on the internet think (I don't mean you).
This whole thing is just absurd silliness. "Hello, junior high called, they want their drama back". (this is not in anyway directed at the person I am quoting, but the entire conversation as a whole).0 -
Oh please, oh please... the one crazy lady who apparently knows what curvy is... am I?? AM I???? Oh God, my world will fall apart if you say I'm not....0

Okay....so i'm just fat- not curvy.....
strange- looks like I have curves TO ME.
thanks for clearing THAT up.0 -
I LOVE MY DEFINITION OF CURVEY!! ( pic below ) I do not strive to look like a pre adolescent 14 year old boy!
