"amazon". Really dude?
Please, make me feel like a beautiful woman by calling me "amazon".
He suffered for that one.
ETA: He's an ex now. :-)
This is what comes to mind:
yes, amazon really can be a compliment. it implies a strong, fit woman who is not afraid of being overly physical during.... um... you can guess the rest.0 -
I believe that most of the time guys (and maybe girls too, I don't know) say things like that without considering your own personal image. I had a boyfriend tell me once "oh yeah, I've always liked bigger girls!" and then backpedaled quickly with "well you know, I mean, I don't like SUPER skinny girls. You know..."
It was a little funny but mostly I was upset. I had never looked at myself as a bigger girl, ever. I'm not delusional - I know I'm not skinny and I'm built sturdy, not delicate. It still took me by surprise and I had to step back and reevaluate what I saw - and I did NOT like it. (And here I am. Lol.)0 -
Ps I changed my profile pic to my 'progress' (tan progress?!) so you all can see my thickness lol.0

Is that a Shakeweight in the third pic of your profile pic?0 -

Given that 99.44+% of MFPers are first worlders, I guess that's true of nearly all posts.0 -

I'll take hair dryer for $200 Alex. Yes, that seems more appropriate.
Also, the the OP, I'm not sure what your BF was thinking because I would never consider you "thick."0 -
If you look like your picture and he called you "thick", then he is thick in the head.0

Yep, 'cause who doesn't blow dry their hair while self taking pictures for MFP?
Then again, looking like that, she can do whatever she wants. Nice tat!0 -

It's a fitness site...so Shakeweight seems more appropriate. Either way, she's taking multitasking to a whole new level.
Oh, and OP, I'm surprised your bf would describe you as thick. Maybe he meant you were "solid" from your work in the gym.0 -
Surely your boyfriend is a callous jerk for expressing admiration of what he considered attractive fat distribution.0

My hubby calls me fat, but not in a mean way. To him its just a description, and its accurate, I am fat. Doesn't bother me. As long as he loves what I have, and treats me well, its just an adjective.0

My bf and I have been together forever. He is really supportive in almost everything I do. He tells me I am beautiful, sexy, pretty etc.
3 months ago we both decided to join the gym, eat better and live a healthier lifestyle. At some point when I asked him about my body...he called me thick.
At 5'7 and about 145 or so at the time... I didn't feel THICK. I figured THICK meant 'big boned' or 'not slim' ...I didnt feel either...I felt I was lucky to be my size and scarf down whatever...whenever. At first, I was a little taken back so I googled what THICK meant, and most definitions were refering to women with curves.
Today I took my 3rd progress pics and now I can see what he meant. I am currently 138lbs and I have toned up quite a bit. You can see some muscles under the skin and I still have a proportionate figure. Today I am proud to be THICK. I am strong and womanly...
What names/classifications have people put on you and how did you feel about it?
This is an excellent thread topic! I am solid muscle with 16% bodyfat and I have had to build some curves on my body, i.e. my rear. I have had some people automatically refer to me as "thick" because I do have curves... The difference is my curves are muscle. I'm proud of them. It takes a lot of work. Curves are sexy, but best if they are muscle.0 -
Um, you look great and fit in all 3 pics? It really just boggles my mind what some people consider thick..in your first picture you are nowhere near thick IMO. You have nice, neat slim curves and you're rocking the sh1t out of that bikini or bra and panties (whatever it is). If I ever in my life was lucky enough to look anywhere near like your 1st photo I'd walk around naked with maybe strategic bits of fabric for decency. :drinker:0
