    But yeah, deciding to make yourself look completely unnatural and obscene does reflect on someone's personality, unfortunately, and I'm totally judging.

    So now you think your reading comprehension is superior to most people on this thread, just as your IQ is superior to women with a lot of T&A? Presumably you think if a woman with a big butt or boobs gets sexually assaulted it's her own fault for being 'trashy' (and stupid, apparently?). Oh no, wait, so if the T&A are real you don't think that, because YOU know the difference just by looking, right? You are the worst kind of misogynistic body-shamer and I feel sorry for you. The fact that you can't even see how idiotic your comment was speaks volumes about your own IQ and attitude.

    I can't stop looking at her fabulous arms, but that's not what this thread is about.

    Serena is amazeballs. I'm not a fan of the first photo, but that's more because a long-sleeved animal print swimsuit doesn't even make sense to me.

    And, really the waist training thing is INSANE! Why is this coming up in the forums all the time? Did Dr. Oz or some other famous idiot promote this? I thought that was pretty much for the fetish community only....I've worn corsets for historical costuming, but never laced tight enough to do damage...I can't imagine why anyone would do something so foolish.

    Again, OP. LIFT WEIGHTS. Those examples of natural ample bottoms are all on women who, I guarantee you, do some serious squats and hip thrusts with progressive loads. Strong Curves. get the book.

    Apples be hatin'

    The curse of being an apple. Even as I've become more ruler-like than apple-like I still have a stupid waist/hip ratio and bad waist/height ratio.

    Glad to see that some of you do have common sense lol. I find it almost an insult to women in general that some women go for that completely sexualized look. It's not attractive. It's an open invitation for pervs and makes them look like sexual objects. But I guess it does reflect on their IQ... in a way I pity them if they felt they had to go to such extents to get attention, when they were so beautiful before.

    Ok yeah I apparently have strong feelings about that.

    This is the most offensive thing on this thread.

    Me too. I always drool over her arm definition. She worked so very hard to get where she is today.

    I'm slightly biased towards Tennis women players though (huge Tennis fan).

    @Francl27 - re "Because that's the only reason I can think of why you all are putting words in my mouth." - try harder. (not a concession that anyone's said anything you haven't said btw). here, i'll help:

    " Glad to see that some of you do have common sense lol. I find it almost an insult to women in general that some women go for that completely sexualized look. It's not attractive. It's an open invitation for pervs and makes them look like sexual objects. But I guess it does reflect on their IQ... in a way I pity them if they felt they had to go to such extents to get attention, when they were so beautiful before."

    - that "completely sexualized look" comes naturally to some people.
    - why isn't it attractive?
    - why is preferring this look "an insult to women in general"? and what, then, is the ideal female look, according to you?
    - the "open invitation to pervs" and "sexual objects" issue has been well-covered, ask if you have more questions about that.

    want to answer @LilLuLu4 's question?

    This thread has turned sad. Serena Williams is beautiful. She is what God and nature intended her to be. That being said I'm done reading this. FYI I'm glad to help with the website earlier....I hope everyone has as good luck with it as I have!! s

    I get what you're saying. Guys, I bolded the important part for you. Pretty sure FrancI27 is fine with Serena Williams.

    I think most people here are reading just fine.

    One of the main issues (and there are many others with her statement) is that some people have butts that are that extreme naturally. Why do you think there was so much controversy about the KK pic with the champagne glass on her butt? [Other than the significant photoshopping]

    Also, whether or not it looks fake or natural is irrelevant - you never victim blame and that is what the gist of the post was doing in part. [Plus the statement was contradictory - you are basically 'asking for it if you have breast/butt augmentation' but not if they are natural? ffs]

    As a side note, is "thick" a word to describe someone's figure now? I've only heard it applied to people who are a bit....less smart? I know all kinds of words for a more ample woman, and "thick" is not one I've heard people use with kindness.

    Eh. I've been called thick (30 pounds ago). But it was on the street.

    What is this Thick is in? Really are you comfortable where you are? If so then stop, if not then continue trying. This is about being healthy and happy and if you feel you are there then stop.
  • Posts: 1,585 Member
    Yes "thick" is a word to describe a women's figure. She is not skinny, nor fat and has meat in all the right places (thighs, hips, breast and booty).....basically a slang term you can find in the urban dictionary.

    Yep - I grew up with thick = stupid.

    Thick in the context of body comp is supposed to be sort of 'powerful' looking - and not super lean.

    The images the OP is showing are of extreme hourglasses - not 'thick' women.

    In my experience, I lose weight off my boobs and face first, and then that basically stabilizes and I start to lose it off of my butt and stomach. I don't think you'll go from a C cup to flat chested, so you probably don't need to worry about that. Also, you can do all kinds of exercises to give you a butt that "pops" - like squats.

    Fads change all the time. Just be happy and comfortable in your own skin, and then stick with it! :)

    Urban dictionary

    ...also WOW!!! The insults in this thread are ridiculous.

    I am a woman with curves and absolutely love big butts. I would love to get the fat removed from my love handles and inserted into my *kitten*. I don't need to do that cause my *kitten* is already big and I can squat to lift it.

    I also have a tattoo in the middle of my boobs and wear open shirts proudly. Does that mean that I am looking for pervs or men to be disrespectful to me?! NO it does not.

    Not necessarily. Depends on who is using it. I've always heard it in the context that OP is using it. Ex dat *kitten* = thick

    Did you seriously think about any of this before typing this out?

    Or did you just sort of start typing and allow this to flow out of you?

    Because holy victum blaming batman.

    That's just absolutely infuriatingly sexists. You know what I hate- is when people assume attractive or anyone who cares about they way they look must be vapid and stupid.

    You don't have to be frumpy- and forlorn to be smart. You to can be sexy- confident AND smart.

    Guess what- humblebrag- I do it EVERY DAY.

    Holding down a fab job as an engineer with a degree I got from a military school. Looking hot every day.

    Good grief- seriously someone said it- what you have written here is the most OFFENSIVE thing in this thread.

    I. literally. cannot. even.

    My daughter and her friends have been using that euphemism for a few years, so yeah, it's a thing.
    I think that you have to decide what makes you happy and that includes knowing what you can comfortably maintain. Many people struggle to get to a weight on some chart, get there and then can't stay and end up yo-yoing which messes up your metabolism. If you want to tone things up, lift and do core exercises. Most of all, be happy with yourself!

    No worries. She'll start a thread asking if it's okay if she goes for the sexualized look to completely contradict her post.

    Started reading at the beginning of this thread for a few pages, saw some fantastic body shaming...jumped to the end...holy moly!

    Same. LOL.
  • Posts: 4,585 Member

    For real... this is the most confusing mess I've ever seen. I didn't know it was possible to be equally disgusted by two opposing viewpoints. All the body-shaming in this thread has just set women back 20 years.

    I'm still trying to figure out what IQ has to do with anything here. Just....I'm stuck on that one still.

    How so? I know women with fake boobs that are pretty cool and kind people. Not "fake" or trashy at all. To them, deciding they wanted bigger boobs is just like how some women may straighten or curl their hair or get tattoos. They did it for them, not for anyone else.

    Unless she didn't know it was natural and thought it was bought. I'm sure every person that gets implants of whatever sorts goes around with a price tag on their body parts just to make sure everyone else knows if they paid for something or not.

    (See how ridiculous it is to judge someone like that? I hope so)
