    Why guys calling me thick then? I'm flat as a board.

    Having only just learnt what thick means in America....you are definitely not thick.

    IF the two examples in the first post are the definition of thick, no offense to peoples, but I hope I'm not. But men call me it all the time still.

    I'm really only partaking in this convo for fun. I don't actually care.

    I've never heard it before in that context but yeah from those definitions it seems like it's not just people who aren't super skinny.

    Thick is what people would call skinny thick now. It originally came from the Coke bottle or hourglass shape. An in shape woman with proportions like a figure 8. My 2 cents men are attracted to the full package (different for each man). Looks might be #1 for some men but in a long term relationship our worth more than dress size matters.

    I think what I'm about to type might be offensive...

    I think that men like "thick" women. I consider a thick woman to be fit, not too slim, and not overweight.

    I think a lot of overweight women call themselves "thick" but it's not necessarily the same idea that men have of it...

    I don't know.

    I think thick would be more towards the higher end of healthy bmi and in shape. I had cousins who were thick but not fat, but they were pretty athletic too. My sister's were thin or skinny and towards the bottom of the bmi chart. I was fat, definitely not considered thick when I was younger and overweight bmi.

    I thought thick (also thicc) meant that someone had a big butt and/or big thighs (in a good way)? I've only ever seen it used as a positive. It doesn't seem to be a common term in Australia!

    Imo - People like to refer to themselves as thick when in reality they are obese.

    But that's just my opinion. I look at the Ashley Graham pics and think obese . I don't think she is thick, I think she's over weight. I personally would not want to look like that.
    When I look at the Kim Kardashian pic, I think she could absolutely be considered thick. I don't think she's obese .she does have a larger rear and smaller waist.

    I'm no authority on slang so take my opinion with a grain of salt on this matter.

    I do think that real women come in all shapes and sizes and they are entitled to look any way they wish and should do whatever makes them happy. If someone wants to obese, that's cool. It's Just not my cup of tea.

    100% agree to all.

    lol I'm not that solid. That pic was right after a super low carb diet. I got the fluff. But I'm not fat.

    None of this is about *you!* I saw your pictures and you are beautiful :)
