question 4 ppl who understand what thick means

I've also heard it used to describe women with larger breasts and hips who are actually at a healthy weight.Thick is a polite way of saying fat
I don't think anyone knows what it means.
Either way, sounds like the OP's boyfriend would criticize her no matter what she looks like. It isn't about looks in a case like that. It's a control issue. Dated a guy like that once.0 -
In British English, thick means stupid. So tell him he's thick.
As for what he meant by that, I have absolutely no idea. But in my dialect, thick = stupid.0 -

but I've seen the word "fat" used to describe women of a healthy weight because some people think that not looking like a supermodel = fat.
I agree with the other stuff though0 -
OP, your boyfriend is a douche and you're beautiful. Don't change yourself just to satisfy someone else. That's a road I don't wish on anyone. Love you and do everything for you. If he can't accept you for who you are, he's a fool and doesn't deserve you.0

The spelling and punctuation "mistakes" are a pretty good giveaway. I doubt a company as large as Nike would let an ad go out missing apostophes and with ambassador spelled wrong.OP, forget all the people here who say to dump him. I don't know how people can think they have the right to tell you to make that big of a decision from the little that you told us about ur bf. For example, my bff in the whole wide world and I are always "dissing" each other, but in a good way. It depends on how things are said sometimes and the character of the person who said it.
On another note, to answer your original question, I think thick means not skinny, not fat, just nice muscular build with just enough body fat to not have well defined muscles. It's a look I like too, but like someone else mentioned, we're not all genetically disposed to have that look. If you are, then you probably just need to work on lifting heavy weights to get the muscle part down. That's what I'm currently in the process of doing.
I won't offer any advice on what to say to your bf (although a few things come to mind) because you didn't ask for that. Good luck!

^this depending on the guy and the relationship it's just how you guys converse. Last time I had a fight with hubby and I said "what would you do if you were in my shoes?" and he answered "i would never be in your shoes" his usual answer meaning I have to learn to prevent problems a longstanding goal of mine and he says it to remind me, but this time he added "cause those shoes are ugly" since I'd just bought new shoes and he had kept quiet about them but i guess chose that moment to admit it, or just wanted to add a silly insult to win. IDK all I know is I found it nearly impossible to continue the argument to closure to figure out what needed to be done, due to that silly and haylarious additional "insult". we joke around here. we "play" when we fight and I cringe to think what an onlooker might think because both being from certain work backgrounds we are able to say it with such a straight face as to seem serious.
I"m looking for a pic of "thick" as that seems like the only way to get it across. it's like slender but not "athletic" but a little bit fuller without being fat.
this might be it
it even comes with instructions. squat. and just do it.
Good illustration, but that Nike ad is a fake.http://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/10-fake-ads-that-people-think-are-real-nsfw-ish

THIS! I would have a talk with him and let him know you want to take care of yourself and look nice for him, and that you are willing to try but that his comments on your appearance effected you in _____ and would like him to be supportive ____ etc. I in all seriousness would show him some of the pics of celebs like kim k that show how much she is photoshopped to have a smaller waist accentuating her rump. etc. He cannot compare you to video girls etc, bc that is fake. Its all a facade. You are real and al you can do is try to look your best for yourself first and him second.0 -

Unless he's got abs like eminem,, 50 Cent, or Lil Wayne .......... I don't think he has any right to tell you to look like those girls. And frankly even if he did he has no right.I'm so confused last time I lost alot of weight my bf said I look like a skinny crack head now I gained it back n he saying I need to tone up n get thick like the girls in music videos??... How am I suppose to do that ?!?0 -

Love is someone that supports you and pushes you to achieve your goals and dreams NOT dragged you down and makes fun of you.
All about him he is not comfortable and secure in who he is...with the rest of the crew....time to go....
Remember you deserve more.........0 -
Find what body size makes you happy. Don't let other people determine how healthy you should be. Make the decision for YOU and others will fall in line with it or not. As far as your bf, well...you teach ppl how to treat and talk to you. Just do what's best for you!
Happy New Year!0 -

Thank you I've should've of addressed this b4 i do not have a bad boyfriend we were talking he told me his opinion… i wanted to make a long story short and still try to put in certain facts… um I'm looking more so of what thick is a work out regimen to be thicker… i should say
The waist part has to be natural (or losing some weight if you're carrying extra there like I am right now).
The butt and thighs really can grow by training like a bodybuilder. We women can get bigger muscles, too, and don't ever let anyone tell you we can't. It takes a lot of specifics, as you might imagine.
Don't get as cut as the bodybuilder ladies and guys, though. That is not the aesthetic for 'thick'. So keep a fat layer going. Getting incredibly cut is such low BF% anyway that most people have to work hard for that. Just don't, lol.
I'm pretty thick but will never get the teeny waist for the real version. Mine doesn't go that low because of where my bones are, lol! Oh, and my butt doesn't qualify for video girl thickness, but not many do anyway!
My thighs are very big with muscle, and I'm so, so glad to see folks like Beyonce's body so much. Thank you, Bey! 0 -

I'm in the same situation, I lost more weight than I want to!! I want to put on weight, so I can be fit and thick!!! Maintenance is hard!!0

My husband is a fan of thick girls.. I asked him one time if that means fat. He told me its not fat, its fit, but still curvy. Maybe this helps!0

I googled "thick women" and this site popped up: http://allthickwomen.com/
Is that what he means? From the pictures, I'd describe them as muscular but not skinny, with exaggerated womanly proportions.
Yep, this is what I've always thought thick ment0 -
I would assume this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thick+girl0

For those of you thinking "thick" is fat, you couldn't be more wrong. At least not in the terms OP boyfriend meant it.
Thick is a certain look. Curves, bigger thighs, phat *kitten*(not fat, big and round).
Some women have it, and some don't. Its genetics for the most part.
Thick women are absolutely beautiful in my eyes as many other types of shapes and sizes.0
