What is Curvy?

I like to think of curvy as having an hour glass shape. It's easy to confuse curvy with other shapes, such as top heavy, bottom heavy, or just plain fat. I would consider an hour glass shape with obvious rolls/stretch marks to be fat, because it is unknown what shape the person would have after weight loss.

What's the stretch marks got to do with fat/curvy/shape??

For me, curvy is a certain shape. You can be a small size and curvy, or a larger size and not that curvy. I see it like an hourglass or pear-shape, you can see obvious curves on the body, the differences in size/measurements between the chest/waist/hips for example.

In all honestly, I think it's a bit of a silly word since nowadays as it seems to be used more to describe women who are slightly larger (not necessarily overweight) and is also often used in the shaming of women with more slender (straight up and down bodies) Slim people can be curvy too. All healthy body types are desirable, the difference lies within personal preferences.

Well I am curvy too,it's a shape not a size.There are different body type so it doesnt matter how much weight is lost the curve will still be there but more defined and firm(perfected).I do believe we can shape our body through doing certain exercise but no matter how much you clean and polish a wine glass it can not turn into a tea cup.So to me body types have better advantages,but all are beautiful at its best.

If you look at a girl and there is immediately some place you would like to put your hands, congratulations, I believe you just found a curvy spot!

There is no Curvy, there is only ZOOL!

What is your opinion of curvy? Is it a specific size? Shape? I wonna know!

you asked for MY OPINION and so here it is.

Two types of Curvy

1) Fat chicks who call themselves curvy when they should be calling the stairmaster while putting down the dunkin donuts. Most girls who call themselves curvy fall into this category (this category also includes chicks who think every guy is after her when really... we're not. Or, we're trying to talk to her to ask her to move out of the way so we can talk to her friend)

2) The REAL curvy girls. These are just that. Curvy. They're not slim stick thin. They're not overweight or obese. They're fit but are not RIPPED either. It possibly have something to do with the bone structure/genetics but they look HOT to me (and so do other body shapes/types who are fit).

\You don't need to be a jerk about it you know, can't we just let women not completely hate their bodies?

First, not being a jerk. If you don't want an answer you don't wanna hear, don't ask the question

Second, Why is it MY problem that YOU are so insecure that a stranger on the internet is making you hate your own body?

Third, learn to read a joke please. It isn't hard. Sometimes it is good to laugh at the fact that some fatties are delusional (including me). Laugh about it. Makes it easier to be happy and easier to get to the point of fitness you desire.

You aren't making me feel insecure. I don't care what you think. But I can guarantee some women might feel degraded by comments like 'they should be on the stairmaster instead of eating dunkin donuts'. Almost every fat chick I know tries to diet and exercise - it's just harder for them (usually because of emotional issues that make them overeat). People who say stuff like this are not helpful.

When I was in my teen years, I was morbidly obese. Like 170lbs heavier than I am now. People called me a whale. People moo'ed at me when I walked down the street and screamed obscenities out the window. I hated my body, I hated myself and I just wanted to die. I honestly didn't care. These body shaming comments would have just made me feel worse about myself. I attempted suicide twice and was in counselling and on medication.

What changed? I found some friends who cared about me, got a job, got a little bit more self esteem and finally started to want to make the change. Had I actually learned to like myself a little bit more when I was larger, I probably would have gotten there sooner. But because people like you would tell me I should hate my body it made me hate myself

I know fat people are an easy target for people like you. You are justifying it by making out we all think we're top ****. We don't. We're just trying to get by with a shred of dignity and our ego in tact.

Boobies, hips and booty!

I had a nice black lady on the train to work tell me that I am "fabulous" and that I could be a sister. She told me later on that I have 'da curve to be a siser!' I was complimented. haha. My family all have round butts and long legs.

I'm sorry, was this wall of text there to make me feel bad about my opinions?

If you were 170 lbs overweight, thats your problem to feel bad about. Not mine. I got my own health issues but I don't run around crying to others saying "you're a jerk for telling me the truth!"

I was hoping you'd try and consider the things you say from another persons perspective. It's this little thing decent human beings like to call empathy. I guess I was sort of asking a little much huh. Good luck to you sir.

And why would I feel bad, I lost the 170lbs, and no thanks to ****heads like you.

Yeah sorry the human decency doesn't come pouring out of me when somebody calls me names.

Okay, whatever you need to say to justify making fun of fat chicks.

I'm definitely curvy.. lol an hourglass figure as well

CherokeeTopaz is perfect curvy!

Definitely a shape ...there are attractive curves and unattractive curves ...both can make the overall body appear curvy.

'curvy' discussion = body shaming bait, totally subjective and pointless discussion, let's move on now.

absolutely....

hourglass is classed as curvey xx

I like having "curves"

and my hourglass figure. (photos under my photos)

All women; every shape and size are wonderful. With curves or without them.
