Oh BTW, you don't have to be an HOURGLASS to have curves, you can be pear shape, etc etc. Honestly this post was a little stupid and narcissistic.
there is always someone that gets butt hurt.

I don't know if it was on purpose, but due to the editing this image looks like the white female running turns into a black dude.

the term you are looking for ....for someone that is over abundantly curvy (aka some rolls but still curvy and defined) is Rubenesque...after Ruben's character paintings of over abundantly endowed women that were NOT in shape and curvy....
I was taught that someone who is not in shape and still has some definition and curves to their body is Rubenesque and curvy meant exactly what Amber was talking about.0 -
No, but it makes no sense to sit and talk about how other people DEFINE their BODIES. Worry about your body and support others. Who cares if someone 200lbs calls themselves curvy. What does it have to do with you? Or anything else for that matter?0

Agreed. You can be skinny and have curves. I'm an hourglass, damn it!
Yup, it's just the body shape.
Some skinny girls have curves and some fat girls are straight yet fat. Just genetics0 -

Butt hurt makes me lol0 -
CURVY = waist curves INWARD....
Example:
FAT = waist curves OUTWARD...
Example:
Then of course, there is also "straight up and down like a ruler", which I am, but I'm fine with it. :happy:0 -
Amber, I will say there is nothing fat about you. All the good adjectives that I have seen on here do nicely too describe your shape. I will take a women with some shape any day over another option...0

I'll remind you of this the next time someone says, "I don't want to get below X weight because I'll lose my curves."0 -
How I LOVE her curves! (And I think she makes a MUCH prettier (natural) blonde and a bottle brunette)0 -

Seriously - thank you for clearing that up! I was TRULY feeling a bit butt hurt by the OP's comment about being fat and not not exactly curvy. I'm woman enough to admit that! LOL The women in MY family are not 115 lbs but they are certainly curvy, thicker than a Snicker and yadda, yadda. No, they're not a size 2; however, curves come in many shapes and many sizes. :flowerforyou: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.
:laugh: This is awesome!! Please post this picture anytime you see curvy misused!
It is now my personal mission.0 -

Did you not read the OP? I can't call myself curvy because in today's world it means fat, because fat people have taken it and ran with it.0 -
Rubenesque curvy, I suppose.0 -

trust me, I know. I'm a 12. NO woman in my family is teeny tiny thin.0 -
40-30-40 down to a size 12 from size 20.
CURVY!0 -
Okay? So what if they have? What's your point? And who cares? What does that have to do with you? If you feel you're curvy you are, just like if they feel they're curvy they are. Curviness comes in all weights and heights.No, but it makes no sense to sit and talk about how other people DEFINE their BODIES. Worry about your body and support others.
