    So what have we learned from posting this thread for this 1000th time?

    (Almost) everyone wants to be curvy or calls themselves. If you are/want to be slim and curvy, you think larger curvy women are just fat. If you are/want to be average or larger and curvy, you think slimmer curvy women are unattractive boys/bones/unwomanly. A few people acknowledge that the concepts of "skinny" and "curvy" are not, in fact, mutually exclusive.

    Can we kill the topic for another 36 hours or so now???

    The only people I've ever encountered that refer to themselves as "curvy" are people who aren't comfortable with facing the reality that they're overweight.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this honesty!!!! By no means am I trying to offend anyone but I think adopting this "Love Your Curves" enabled SOME overweight people. I just could not be one any longer!!! People used to always say that to me...."Love those curves girl!" No way...these are not curves, but this is the 30 pounds I put one while in college.

    Probably one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard a "woman" say.
    Being curvy doesnt mean that a woman has self doubt or is insecure with the way they look, as it seems you implying. Curvy can be something different to every woman. Having a larger chest, having a "booty"...even a muscular one!, having hips are what I think to be curvy. I also belive that "curvy" is actually a lot healthier way of seeing yourself than stating you want to be "skinny". Saying you're curvy is a way of saying you ACCEPT yourself, even if you do have a little more than the self absorbed chick standing beside you, living off of crackers just to be "skinny".


    Whoa there...

    Wtf is this thread... do you guys not even know what "curvy" actually means? Curvy= if there is a 10 inch or greater difference between your waist & your hips. You can be skinny AND curvy. It's not a versus thing. Can we stop pitting body types against each other? Especially when you're all assigning meaningless definitions to words?

    You do know that curves are not fat right? You don't get to choose to be at your thinnest curvy or skinny. You can't make curves.

    Happy with anything that isnt plain old fat. I will never ever be skinny, unless I transport myself back to 7 years of age. I agree with some other others posts, better than now would be fabulous x

    I want to be the size I was 3 years ago before I went back to school. I have always been "curvy" even at 115lbs I was curvy, that is just my body type. Some people on here act as though you can choose your body type, I can want to be 5'10" and have long legs all I want to, it will never happen and I will never be truly "skinny". When you lose weight/workout you will gain muscle and lose fat where your body is built to do so, you can't CHOOSE those things. There is no such thing as spot reducing fat.

    In the south we say "You can want in one hand and *kitten* in the other and see which fills up faster" :laugh:

    To me, the ultimate curviness is Christina Hendricks, and I would trade with her any day.

    Agree completely. I was just thinking of her, too. And I wouldn't call her overweight at all.

    "not just a straight up and down look"

    That's a shape, not a look. Women can't help how their bone structure is...

    Actually the definition of curvy is: continuously bending line that has no straight parts.

    I think the 10" is if you have an hour glass or 'pear' shape...
