i prefer FIT!
thank you -- me too . And skinny and curvy have such broad definitions depending on who you ask. I love "MY" curves.0 -
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.

This! Haha, even at my lowest weight(was really underweight)I still had hips and a bum, it's just my bodytype. I'm curvy and I'm always going to be curvy, just gotta embrace it:)I just want to look good naked !0 -
Definately curvy, but toned.. I think overly skinny is very unattractive!0

True. Today's 12 to 16 is an 8 to 12 back then. But even an 8 is considered fat now. So Marilyn was not skinny by today's standard. Even if you want to compare clothing size. Marilyn had some dangerous curves.
She was much smaller than that by today's clothing size standards.From a male point of view, I definitely prefer curvy, and I don't know many, if any, men that prefer skinny over nice curves. I think Marylin Monroe, dress size 12 to 16 (depending on timeline) had the ultimate body!0 -
My ex left me for a bone thin, flat as a board, little thing. At first I was really upset because it made me self conscious about my own body. BUT, I eventually came to my senses. I wouldn't trade my curves for anything, I just want to lose 5-10 and tone, which would put me at a consistent size 4.0

I want a skinny curvy body.0

I look better naked when I'm curvier, but I look better in clothes when I'm skinny. I think it is important to look at body type. I have bigger hips and gain in my hips, rear, and legs first when I gain. Then, I thicken up a bit in my torso. I don't like to go too low in weight -- like down to 100 lbs because while I can wear whatever I want, my rear end is flat and I have no boobs. I also can't find clothes. When I'm 105 lbs (and it's been a really long time since then, I look better because I have more of a rear end.
I'd say that you should examine your body and see how you look. If you go too low, you might lose some of your shape.0 -
I'm curvy, and the more I lose the curvier I get! Love it!0

Except that in modern sizes, she was more a dress size 2-8. She was skinny with curves.0 -
I am curvy, thick, overweight and I love me! The more weight I loose, the more defined my curves get! Show me a male who wants bones and I will show you a dog! lol and curvy does not mean overweight have you ever seen Beyonce?0

With my bone structure, definitely curvy! Its impossible for me to not have any curves, and that is genetics. The layers of fat on top however, are not lol. I really just want to be at a healthy weight, and I know I'd have the body I want.0

Screw what anyone else thinks. I want to be able to run again without anything jiggling!0

I don't like the body I have, I'm changing it. Slowly but surely. I'm asking opinions, not asking everyone to slag off others.0

No she was an 8 to 12 in modern clothes. The sizes in America back then were on the European scale.From a male point of view, I definitely prefer curvy, and I don't know many, if any, men that prefer skinny over nice curves.

People are FAR too touchy on here. People have their own opinions, accept it!
I prefer... people who know how to use the search feature so that they realize that their stupid attention seeking topic has been posted about 1000 times already.
Can we talk about something interesting now?0 -
skinny-curvy is what I prefer. They aren't mutually exclusive. Like this.
To me SKINNY alone is shapeless and box-like while curvy is well curvy. Now, SKINNY-CURVY is a lower-weight curvy person. That's my view.0 -
There isn't one or the other. I am 5'4", lean, curvy, stong and fit. I ****ing hate this argument, everyone gets all butt hurt and that's usually the whole purpose. When will women learn that they don't have to put other women down to feel better about themselves, they just have to own their own issues and insecurities. FFS!!!

The skinny-bones-dog comment is not original and is one of the comments women find extremely offensive. It implies that thin women and those without natural curves are either only good enough for second-rate men or canines.I am curvy, thick, overweight and I love me! Show me a male who wants bones and I will show you a dog!
LOVE IT0 -
I so have something to say to casey9888. but I don't want to get ugly herecaseyg9888: A few women do that yes I agree but a lot of women are curvy yet are not fat.
By curvy, I mean - hips, boobs and a bum, not just a straight up and down look - no boobs, no bum and no shape in their legs. x
Frankii_x: I wanna be curvy. Not stick thin. I want boobs, bum and a flat tum tum with hips.... God help me pleaseeeeeeeee

Totally right. By UK dress sizes she was a size 8 at her smallest, a size 12 at her biggest. (I do believe a UK 8 is a US 4)
Ok, time for the granny
to speak. I have spent the last 25 years obsessing about my size. I have always been curvy, when I was a size 10 I still had 34DD boobs. I had 36 inch hips and a 24 inch waist.
I am now a lot bigger than that but still have definition. I have a bust, a smaller waist and then hips. Yeah I am big but I am curvy. No bugger is gonna take that title away from me no matter how hard you try....
BUT.... In a few short months I will be losing what I have always been confident about - My breasts. In the summer I am having a double mastectomy and a reconstruction - I have the BRCA2 gene (recently diagnosed) and am at an 80% risk of developing breast cancer if I don't have this done. My breasts will be scarred and ugly. But they will still be my breasts and I will hopefully have a much better chance of having a longer life.
What I am trying to say ladies and gents, is this - Please just accept yourself and strive to be as healthy as you can. It isn't the end of the world if you can't be curvy or very slim or have bigger/smaller breasts or pecs etc etc. Some people will never get a 6 pack, no matter how hard they try. But if you do the best you can, eat the healthiest you can (with the occasional blow out - we are all human after all) and just learn that there is no such thing as the perfect figure but that you can strive to be the best you can be, things will get a lot easier. If you can't be slim then accept that you can still tone and get fit. If you can't get curves then be happy that you can build muscle and get fit etc etc.

Ummm, Marilyn was a size 2 by today's clothing standards, folks. Her waist was 21 inches and her hips were 35.
Kind of ironic that she's held up as the icon of large, curvy women when she was curvy because she had an ungodly small waist. Look it up instead of just guessing.0 -

& I PREFER, people not commenting on a forum that they are not interested in JUST to get their silly point across. If you want something more interesting, use google!!! P.S I don't see how it is attention seeking, seeing as I've not mentioned anything about my body in this whole forum. Ugh people :ohwell:0 -

I like this view you're right. She looks amazing. x 0 -
I find the whole Skinny VS Curvy very damaging. Trying to make bigger women feel better by criticising thin women is no better than thin women criticising bigger women. NO ONE BODY IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER! Also this whole thing that all men "prefer" bigger women and anyone who doesn't is a dog who likes bones, is ridiculous. People are attracted to different things. Women shouldn't be dividing themselves into teams of "Skinny" and " Curvy" and pitting against one another, we should all be on the same team of acceptance and self love!0
