    I would love to be called voluptuous!


    a : full of delight or pleasure to the senses : conducive to or arising from sensuous or sensual gratification : luxurious <a voluptuous dance> <voluptuous ornamentation> <a voluptuous wine> b : suggesting sensual pleasure by fullness and beauty of form <voluptuous nudes>

    If someone told me I was "full of delight or pleasure to the senses : conducive to or arising from sensuous or sensual gratification," I would be quite pleased.

    When my husband says it I blush. When my sister told me I was voluptuous when she was just looking for another word for heavy...then no. Just no. Lol.

    I can't recall if I've ever been called that, but I would love it. I get jealous of women with more curves than me! When I think 'voluptuous' I think of a Jessica Rabbit-like body. :)

    I like it! Beats the hell outta fat, lol!

    Seriously, its my determination most guys like girls with some curves. I'm thankful some of mine have stuck around through the weight loss, though I could totally lose the thighs and be fine with it.

    Yes. I don't find it to be a compliment at all and I feel like it's a way of saying I have a fat *kitten*.

    I'd rather have a fat *kitten* than a FLAT *kitten* anyday.. My curves are part of who I am.. and thanks to my Spanish and Italian genes, I won't ever have to worry about looking like a little boy when I reach my G.W..

    I love it! to me it means I have sexy curves and I'm not a stick figure (you know, I have boobs and hips and a butt, not the body of a pre-teen boy.)

    id say what Voluptuous SHOULD be - a good looking woman with curves.

    however, these days, big chunky obese girls that are proud of how they look like to use that word to describe themselves, which is probably why some of u guys dont like to be called voluptuous

    I've always liked it myself *shrug* But then, even at my heaviest, I've always had a positive body image

    Wow ...sensitive ...

    Voluptuous is what many men seek in a woman...

    My wife lost a lot of weight but she kept some really nice curves. You can be Voluptuous and not fat... Relax.

    This, I like it cause it sounds like Va Va Va Vooom!! lol curves, curves and even more curves baby. And for the men you need to take it a bit slow on those curves :wink:

    I've always liked it actually. I think it implies you have good curves. It does depend on who it comes from and how you feel about it though. I can see how it could be interpreted in different ways!

    This.

    Nope. It's usually said in a very admiring and flattering tone, directed at my big b@@bs and round *kitten*. The dictionary describes it as sensuously pleasing or delightful. Not everyone finds stick figure women attractive. It's totally a compliment.

    Interesting to read the female perspective. The vast majority of men use it as a very high compliment. As a happily married man who has had a fair amount of corporate training on sexual harassment I avoid such comments period. But trust me, it is a compliment. That is unless it is coming from some sleazeball, and they are always going to find some way to make any comment derogatory. But meaning fat, nahhh,
