I'm just saying that bones are not attractive.
By whose definition and what do you consider too skinny? I, personally, don't want the muscular, "fit" look for myself. Nothing wrong with it in general, but it isn't what I'm going for. I do actually want to be skinny.0 -
Why take this post or any personally? Love Thyself and no one can define you

"Bones are for the dog, meat is for the man!"
I wish every woman who said this was forced to live a year in the body of a tomboy and had to sit and remain silent while curvy girls bashed her heredity. in public. like in writing published on the internet in front of her face.
Oh don't get so offended easily. Same for onegonzogarba.
Curves are sexy, that is MY opinon. If you don't like it oh well. I'm not saying some people don't find skinny boney types attractive, clearly they do. Hell, some people find people that are 500lbs plus sexy! It's their opinion. If you can't take peoples opinions don't go online. Simple as that.
Now put your big kid panties on and accept people have opinions. If I think fit or curvy is sexy so be it, if I thought bones were sexy, good for me too. If you think one thing is sexy and another not, good for you! So stop being so offended by another perons opinion!0 -
I understand what you're trying to say, and there's a very good message beneath that I think (never bow to societies views about beauty standards) However, I think "curves" are something you have mostly because of your body type. Some people can be really thin, but still curvy as they have wide hips etc. Some people can be overweight but straight up and down.
For me, I've trying to create a curvy figure, through muscle. As even when I was bigger and uncomfortable with my body, I was a bit up and down.0 -
Oh good gravy. Did you have to. Do you have any idea how insulting parts of this are? ANY IDEA?I love what you're saying here OP. I agree, you don't have to be a size 0, not even a 3 or 4 to be sexy. My goal is a size 8 or 9, something reasonable where I can still have some thickness myself. I don't want muscles, I don't think they'd look right for me. For those that have them and love them on theirself, good for you. But me, I think muscles would just make me look too many. I want to be some what soft.
But hell! Curves are beautiful! There's a difference between curves and fat though, and right now, I have fat. But I want curves, not bones. "Bones are for the dog, meat is for the man!"
muscles are manly and bones are for dogs in one post? wow...0 -

Too skinny... like, those girls that when they lift their shirt up you feel like you could play a xylophone on their ribs. I hate rib cages on people, it's gross.0 -
Girl, I wish I had some of that booty. This thing got far too out of hand.......0
-
Thank you. I cannot believe how offended people are becoming. This is MY opinion of what I want and is working for Me. It really shows that although we're losing weight we haven't lost that poor self image yet.0

Wow some of you people are so touchy its sad. I'm agreeing with the OP. If you have curves, don't get into such a mind set that you have to be even smaller and smaller just because of the media and the images displayed. Curves are beautiful, and some people get upset because they can't fit into something below a size 5 which leads them to getting discouraged and doing some things rather unhealthy just to lose more.
Again, what I say is MY opinion. I do not want muscles like some people have because I don't think I would look right with them. I don't give a rats behind who has muscles and who doesn't, cause guess what, my opinion of some other person doesn't matter, or shouldn't, only your own opinion should matter of your self. But what I find attractive doesn't mean someone else will... PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT! -gasp- who would have thunk it...
So get the hell over yourselves and accept that some people don't like muscular woman or boney woman.0 -

Well, good thing I'm not trying to impress YOU.
This is what I'm going for (though she's a bit taller and I'm hippier, but in general):
But, by all means, continue with your insulting posts towards anyone who doesn't fit your ideal.0 -
I honestly don't think anybody was offended by your post. However people usually do like to clarify especially since ideas on "curves" vary much on MFP.Thank you. I cannot believe how offended people are becoming. This is MY opinion of what I want and is working for Me. It really shows that although we're losing weight we haven't lost that poor self image yet.
I am still a strong believer that women body hate on eachother far too much. Which is why I think terms like the dog/bone statement are some of the most offensive and ignorant senatances ever put together.
If being thin isn't for a person there are certainly more polite ways to say things. Just as there are ways a thinner woman could say they didn't want an abundance of curves that would most certaininly have that thinner women ripped to shreds by every single poster on MFP.0 -
Why take this post or any personally? Love Thyself and no one can define you
just splitting hairs and playing devil's advocate, because I love me (well cept the boobs maybe - WIP) and am not bothered by the message....
If you didn't mean for the post to be taken personally, then why post it? To motivate, people must be able to personalize the message being sent to their own lives. Your message was intending to be motivating to others, and therefore the hope was intrinsically for personalization.
Hooray for the motivation! I think you're right - we need to love our bodies because they're our own curvy, straight... just so long as we don't use this debate to embrace an unhealthy or damaging lifestyle. :flowerforyou:0 -
When I was fatter, I had curves in the wrong places. Now I'm starting to see new curves I like- like the curve of my hamstrings. :bigsmile:
Or is this only about T&A? I'm not really a fan of the word curvy- I never really know exactly what people are talking about.
YES curve of my hamstring, the lines on the outside of my quads, the two lines that follow my spine and curve out at my butt dimples, the curve of my pecs, shoulders, the front of my calves, my inner forearms, the view of my hipbones when I look down at them and see the way my torso curves along... the female body is a beautiful beautiful machine.0 -

Holy crap.... I AM NOT INSULTING ANYONE! I... ME... MYSELF does NOT like something. That does not in any way shape or form mean someone is terrible, horribe, horrendous monster from frankensteins lab! I just do not like it, and would not like it for ME. I really honestly don't give two craps what any person looks like, their intelligence and personality are WAY more important to me.
But since some people clearly don't understand I (again ME not you or any other person in this entire universe) do NOT want muscles and do not like boney. I have friends who are boney, guess what, I don't care, that's them I like them for other reasons. I have friends who are morbidly obese, that's cool, still my friend. But know what, for them it works, and for them, THEY are happy. I think rib cages are gross because 9/10 people who have their bones are under weight and not healthy. The girl you posted in the pic is not too skinny, her bones are not jutting out her face is full and she seems a healthy weight.
But seriously... I AM NOT INSULTING YOU PEOPE STOP TAKING EVERYTHING TO FREAKING HEART BECAUSE SOMEONE IS VOICING WHAT THEY LIKE!0 -
Thank you. I cannot believe how offended people are becoming. This is MY opinion of what I want and is working for Me. It really shows that although we're losing weight we haven't lost that poor self image yet.
But you're the one who posted it as advice for everyone else. I'm not trying to be mean, but when you create a post that dictates that a certain type of body is more desirable than another, yes, it will lead to discussion - and probably quite a lot of disagreement. Because when you trump one body type as ideal and say "this is the way to be sexy" you are discrediting everyone who is not of that body type.0 -
You can still be small and/or fit and still have curves.
I think a lot of people have misconceived what weight training does to your body. You can be a bodybuilder and have a bigger butt than a "curvy" woman. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and i'm not trying to knock it by any means. But I think that being fit doesn't mean you still lose your curves, you just round them out a little bit better.0 -

yeah Im totally not offended by your opinion or what you want for your own body. I hate that saying that people always use after they state their opinion, which is why I didnt quote the entire post. The part where they say women like my mom are only good for dogs to chew on. There is saying I think curves are sexy, and there is saying all women who dont have curves are just bones and bones are only good enough for dogs.
Im not saying be nice, cause I cant make you want to not hurt feelings, but I can put the hope out there that women think before they say things like this in a room full of women of all walks of life.0 -

agreed. OP posted it as generalized advice for all.0 -
I hate rib cages on people, it's gross.
Nope. Not insulting or nasty at all. Just talking about what YOU like on YOUR OWN body.
OK then.0 -
You don't lose your shape since that was genetically set at conception. You lose body fat. So in essence you're saying don't get too skinny.
^^^this. If you "lost your curves," they weren't "curves."
Boobs are part of being curvy, and they are partially made of fat. Most women lose some boob when losing weight, so technically you can lose some curve.
Not really no.. I would not consider the fat in your breasts to be curves. If you're overweight you will have fat in your breasts, if you're not it would be mostly breast tissue and you can't lose breast tissue (without operation).

I really don't get what you are saying. A curvy girl is curvy no matter what her body fat percentage is.
Exactly. Unfortunately, people confuse "rolls" with "curves" nowadays, so "curvy" has taken on a new meaning. When I think "curvy", I picture an hourglass or pear shape, and that can mean someone who weighs 150 pounds or someone like me who weighs 310. That's why I said it has everything to do with body shape, not body fat.
I feel bad about all the lean/muscle-bashing going on in this thread. It's not cool to insult other body shapes or imply they're less of a woman. People can't help which skeleton and muscle structure they were born with. I didn't choose to have a big butt; I just do.0 -

You're one of those people that just has to find something, somewhere to be pissy about? Stop wasting so much of your time being a bull headed person. So what if I (wish I could make the I stand out because it's just for me) think they are gross because as I stated somewhere else, it usually means someone is malnurished and that they lost too much for their body. Does that mean I'm going to look at this person and be like "oh gross, dont' talk to me" Nope. If that person is happy with it, then I don't care. I don't like them. Simple as that. I'm not insulting anyone, I'm not singling someone out, I just do not like them. Now find a better hobby then to tear apart someones opinion and make it out as an attack just for the sake of being happy that you attempted to piss someone off that was voicing their opinions and likes and preferences.0 -
I love my curves small waist, curvy hips ,and thick thighs..rather shapely just looking to improve my health is all. unique no one person is the same.0

So, you're willing to discredit someone entirely based on body type, but when it's brought to your attention that a certain body type is YOUR preference, not anyone else's, that's being pissy? Really?0 -

Same here! But I wouldn't mind a little less on my thighs LOL0 -

Why would I discredit anyone based off body type? If you're a good person you're a good person. I don't care. Anyone is entitled to look at someone and think what they want, and people do it anyways. But just because I don't think someone is sexy as hell doesn't mean that they're not a good person or someone that I could have coffee with and have meaningful conversations. Just means I do not prefer it. It's not my preference. EVERYONE has a preference. I'm just not too stuck up my own bum to say I don't and have no issue saying what mine is. And likewise... I don't mind what other peoples prefences are because everyone is entitled to one. You highlighted something that was split anyways. I don't like them - I don't like bones, I don't like the look. Not the individual. You can't base someone off their looks alone when there's much more under that.0 -
Omg this post has made my day!! Love how this has turned into a free for all for everyone to start picking on each others opinions - maybe'motivation and support' was not the best forum for this to be posted under
Where's the love ladies 0 -
I think people who like anime are stupid and weird.
But, hey, don't be insulted. It's only my opinion. :flowerforyou:0 -
I want to see this thread with all men talking. Now that would be really funny. Ladies, isn't it more about how you carry yourself than your shape? Curvy girls need to stop bashing skinny girls and skinny girls need to stop bashing curvy girls. What does this say about women? Just love the skin you're in and work to be the best you can be, whatever shape that is.0
