    You fit the term. Most that claim it do not.

    curvy is good....don't be too hard on yourself...its a bodytype that men do adore for sure as others suggested...however you have to be comfortable with what you are which goes to confidence really...I will say though...you have beautiful facial features

    I think you missed the point.

    I LOVE my body. I AM curvy. People that are "fat" and say "curvy" (be in in person, online, whatever) changed the meaning of the word.

    I agree, curvy, voluptuous, should all be good terms. Why on earth did they become fat? Because most of society is fat. We are swimming against the stream! Keep up the good work. :smile:

    Because somehow it became offensive to use the word fat unless describing a food item. Other words were manipulated from their original meanings as euphemisms for "fat".

    Makes you wonder if in a few years we'll be calling butter "voluptuous" instead of fat.

    It's like I said before... just because one has many tangential planes on their body does not mean they are curvy... at this very moment I am not curvy... I am fat, overweight.... obese even (just barely)... but I'm working on that. Curvy to me is J.Lo. or the pin up girls from yesteryear....

    Technically my body shape is curvy (I know from when I was thin) but at the moment I am fat. It is the word I used to describe myself because it is the truth. There is absolutly nothing wrong with the word fat and I wish people would realize that, society has made fat a horrible word and its not. Because at 50 - 100 pounds over weight you are no longer chunky, you are NOT thick you are straight up fat.

    I have no problem with this thread at all. I just think that people feel FAT is a horrible word to use to describe ones body and its not - at least not in my world.

    Because DANG IT! I AM!!! I'm not 200 lbs overweight, I'm a textbook hourglass figure with a large chest, small waist, and wide hips... My "curvy" isn't my many many rolls down my body.

    Let's change the meaning of this word back to what it is. Call a duck a duck....

    Thanks! :)

    Got that except the big boobs :( (36B)

    very narrow waist and wider hips...though I'm not big either (size 6)...you can feel/see my hip bones...just got a big pelvis I guess.

    Lord mix a lot had it right :wink:

    to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3"

    I agree. Curvy and fat are two different words for a reason.

    lol...well I may have missed the point..I tend to do that at times lol...curvy to me are bodytypes such as Shakira, Beyonce, Kim K...if somebody is really obese in my opinion thats not curvy at all but I would never call somebody "fat"

    In your specific case I think "smoking hot" is more accurate.
    He only said that because you're wearing a Texas Longhorn shirt!

    Aww...I didn't mean that he doesn't think you're hot. That was an inside joke for Brett because he found it difficult to wear a shirt that represents Texas. And you are hot!

    I hear ya and totally agree! I'm like you hourglass, curves in the right places yet if I described myself as a curvy girl that would mostly like be taken to mean I was 'fat'. I know for the larger gals out there that they of course need a nice word to describe their 'curves' but what do we average build ladies describe ourselves? (and I don't like that word average either lol)


    Excuse me but there is no such thing as an average woman, you are all unique and as difficult as h**l to please :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    This is what there needs to be more of, in my opinion. Embracing what you actually are (not saying you're fat) and working towards being something else (curvy)

    Agreed. You can be skinny and have curves. I'm an hourglass, damn it!

    Someone in the Kim Kardashian thread described her hourglass figure as "a weird shape."

    curvy is exactly what you described and i'm happy to say i am also that shape. ;) i have a relatively small waist in comparison to my hips (14 inch difference last time i checked). i like my shape. someone plus sized or not can be considered curvy... it's a body shape. not a weight. ;)

    Ding ding ding! You can be curvy at any size.

    Agreed. People have forgotten what curvy really means. You can be overweight and curvy, you can be skinny and curvy. It just means your waist is smaller than your hips and boobs. I'm curvy. I'm overweight right now but you can still see my curves.

    Christina Hendricks (sp?) is curvy. ScarJo is curvy. They are both of course a good weight and in shape. I wouldn't mind having their curvy bodies! LOL

    I've seen curvy women of all sizes, size 4 to size 20. Now, when *I* was a size 20, I really wasn't curvy anymore. I'm glad to have my figure back though!
