I want to call myself curvy

Yeah, that's totally what I got out of this post- that the OP is insecure. :huh:Yeah because how other people define themselves should totally affect how you define yourself.
:drinker: Here's to insecurity no matter what your size or shape!
Different people see different things. To me, if she wasn't insecure about it she would simply call herself curvy and be done with it. Being secure in yourself means knowing what/who you are without caring how others judge you for it, especially on the internet.
Otherwise it simply seems like a call for attention to be paid to how hot she is... another sign of insecurity.
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself sweetheart :flowerforyou:
There is no insecurity, or fishing for compliments in my OP. Simply stating that fat women shouldn't call themselves curvy. I tried to be nice about it
Well, others have stated that one can be overweight and still be an hourglass shape, weigh different amounts, etc.
150 pounds or size 12 can be overweight and even obese.
It doesn't freakin' matter. You would not have posted a forum the way you did if you weren't fishing for comments and big ups. Your actions are speaking way louder than your words.
Geesh get over yourself already
I get enough of that from my FL... but thanks for playing!
Obviously you feel the need to get more.
Pathetic to the nth power.
If I needed more, I'd post sexy pictures of myself in a thread. I'm good. You obviously need to get laid... You seem a bit... tense.0 -
Curves?? Where can I find some of these things you speak of??
I have a butt so I got that going for me. LOL But since losing weight I've turned more "pear"ish I guess. Very small on top, still small waist, but still have bigger butt/hips/thighs0 -
I think curvy is how I would describe myself, I am very busty, with a waist and a fairly round bum, so an hourglass I am, when I was fat I called myself fat, people who call themselves curvy when they are fat are just kidding themselves, but then so what? I can call myself skinny, but with a 32J bust, that is not happening in this lifetime
I like all shapes, but being honest with OURSELVES is what matters most, and that is the big thing here. I could go live in a stable, but I am never going to be a horse.....
You know. I think that's my point. To be honest with yourself about what you are. Thank you0 -
You didn't say it right! It's twenty FO.Lord mix a lot had it right

Last three replies have been from you so I think you are the one who needs to get over yourself.
I was responding to different comments on a public thread that was created.
Oh the internet bullies now gang up on someone.
I don't need to get over myself. I am very secure with myself and the only person that I want compliments from is my HUSBAND OF 14 YEARS.
I don't create threads to get compliments and big ups from random strangers on the internet.
I don't post threads so people from my friends list come in and gang up on other posters that are HONESTLY POSTING REPLIES either.
I really don't know why I continue to be a part of this site. Most of you are all pathetic attention seeking ********
Wow, there's a sweeping generalisation. Nothing says 'I'm secure with how I look' more than having a profile picture that isn't even of yourself. I think a little loosening up is required...0 -

No, I just got laid last night thank you very much. I am not tense in the least. I am relaxed and working from home today.
I am just blunt and honest.
As a 39 year old WOMAN, I see through what YOU won't admit. You will never admit that in your subconscious mind, you ARE fishing for the compliments that came in this thread and with others agreeing with you.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and people see different things.
I am on the phone with my husband as I type this and he agreed with what I am saying from what I read to him.
The old saying........."It takes one to know one"..............Yeah, I used to be insecure when I was younger. Age, wisdom and having a husband that loved me from the time I was 120 pounds and when I was 298 and everything inbetween has made me a very secure WOMAN and no longer an insecure LITTLE GIRL.0 -
Do not ever allow someone to define WHO you are based on your waist line; whether it curves in or out - your beauty is a matter of opinion - YOURS! Someone else's soapbox is just that...their own. Pick up your own mic and declare that you are gorgeous, sexy, stunning, whatever! You don't need the validation of others! Certainly not from a forum of people who you'll more than likely never meet in person. LOVE YOURSELF! If you're overweight (even if it's temporary), Rock it! Thin!? Work it! Althletic?! Do the damn thing!
I suppose the OP's point was lost in translation...No one is trying to steal your glory. Honestly, I never knew a word could be owned, but own it anyhow OP. Because rest assure there are overweight, fat, obese, women (whatever you want to call us) out there that will continue to call themselves curvy.
So by all means, work YOUR curves and I'll work mine.0 -

I work in the IT Security field and I rarely if ever post pictures of myself on the internet. I am very secure with my looks and my husband compliments me daily.
I don't need to go fishing for comments from strangers on the internet on how i look. Why? Because I could CARE LESS what a stranger thinks.
You don't feed me, cloth me, put food on my table or pay any of my bills. I don't care what anyone else thinks of me except for the people in my REAL LIFE circle.
Showing yourself off doesn't mean ecurity. WOW, you young girls really need to get a clue and grow up. Maybe with age, some security will eventually come.0 -
"I can't call myself curvy because in today's world it means fat, because fat people have taken it and ran with it."
I have an idea: how about not being so concerned about what words you "can" and "can't" use to describe yourself? If you think you're sexy, why not just call yourself sexy? That seems like a freakin win no matter what. Nobody's going to take that term and dirty it up for you. I just don't understand why people get so huffy about words. Words are subjective, as well as many of their definitions. Some people call me curvy, some people call me fat. The ones that call me fat can shove it, and that's where it ends
Or I can complain about it... You know... whatever I want.
Yup. And anyone who wants to call themselves curvy can.0 -

:drinker: Here's to insecurity no matter what your size or shape!
Put it this way:
If you're single and online dating, which do you pick for your body type? Curvy is an option, but it means overweight. Then you have things like athletic and a few extra pounds, but there is no option for a thin woman with a curvy figure.
I posted exactly this on another thread.
When I was online dating, I was in great shape and working out regularly. Also an hourglass. So I selected "Curvy" as my body type.
More than one date told me they had nearly missed my profile because online, "curvy" means fat.
So I changed it to "athletic". Then they said they nearly missed my profile because "athletic" means flat-chested and bottom-heavy.
No one was ever disappointed because I had full body shots posted, but I wonder how many searches never found me because I couldn't decode what the body descriptions meant to men.
The moral of this story? Don't go online dating!!!
why not? I met my husband online...0 -

This makes the most sense of anything I've read in this thread. So, THIS ^^^0 -

Far from old or bitter. 39 definitely is not old and I have nothing to be bitter about. My life is wonderful and just fine.0 -

I was being sarcastic, hence the "huh" smiley. Unfortunately, your posts in here say way more about your own insecurities than about the OP's. To some degree, we are all insecure, but you came cocked and loaded to beat down a person whom you believed had insecurity issues. If you really felt she had those problems, why would you brow beat her? That's not cool at all.Me too. So sad.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.

Um, this makes me laugh. I am not insecure in the least ANYMORE.
And the last time I checked........speaking the truth is not giving someone a brow beating or a beat down.
I am not the only one that sees her insecurities and baits for compliments. I got several messages from others saying how they like my attitude and speaking the truth.
ETA.............I am not one that is afraid to speak my mind, either in public or on the internet.0 -

So, as an ex-insecure person, you think it's appropriate to call people out for being insecure? To ridicule them for seeking attention? To call them names (not sure what you typed because it got bleeped out)?
BTW....I in no way believe the OP is insecure. I'm just trying to follow your logic on how you treat people you believe are insecure.0 -

To reiterate what has been said, 'curvy' is most definitely a body type, not a size. I have seen really large women who are not by any means curvy, and very petite women with killer curves.
I don't care if the meaning has changed I still love being called curvy and considering myself curvy 0
