    I feel like it's just the nice way to say you're overweight.

    Nope, I don;t. If it was good enough for Venus and Marilyn Monroe - it's good enough for me!! (I hope I don;t lose my big curves - my 13 month old likes my big mama boobies! and having a cuddly Mum!!!). 8D

    Never known of any man who thinks Voluptuous means fat. It means curvy, busty, and HOT! to me and every man I have ever met. I like women to have curves, it is attractive to me. Just my opinion....


    +1 on what he said, honestly what man does not like curves on a woman.

    who decides that second is voluptuous she does not look it to me

    voluptuous is a plus sized woman with good ratio. Like Kim Kardashian for example, that's voluptuous.
    Curvy is a petite woman with good ratio, like bettie page, scarlet johannsen & beyonce.

    Kim K is petite

    no she isn't she's a size 12, she's plus size.

    Petite means small in frame & height actually. Also, anything below 5'6 is considered petite.
    Eva Longoria & Nichole Richie are petite.

    It's also known that Kim K lies about her weight & claims to weight 100lbs.... she's plus size, she's voluptuous
    Bettie was thin & curvy, big difference.

    Also, before people think I mean curvy as in Kelly Clarkson or Christina Aguilera curvy, I don't, they're both just overweight now, not curvy.

    There's no denying that I'm overweight...so to be called vuluptous is awesome! I think it implies a sexiness with curves!

    Kim K does not look anywhere close to a size 12,or plus size for that matter.

    voluptuous
    1. relating to, characterized by, or consisting of pleasures of the body or senses; sensual
    2. disposed, devoted, or addicted to sensual indulgence or luxurious pleasures
    3. provocative and sexually alluring, esp through shapeliness or fullness a voluptuous woman

    it says shapeliness or fullnes which is both of them

    Fullness means fat.

    I don't think she looks plus size either and I always attributed petite to height moreso than body frame.

    I've never heard anyone call anyone vulumptuous before....that's really weird. I would not like that at all, haha. I mean, I've been told my hair is vulumptuous before- but never my body.

    I hate vuluptuous and big boned....complete ignorance of other people. Trying to call me fat in a nice way.

    I always thought it was a great compliment. Better than "fluffy" lol. But I could really care less what my body type is referred to. I am not my body shape.

    I hate it. I hate when people talk about 'curves' and 'curvy girls' too, when it's just a bunch of fat chicks. I'm fat, I'm not curvy. I was curvy and I will be again, though!

    Size 12 is not a plus size, at least not in America. It's FAR from it! Plus size where I buy starts at size 18. Size 12 is actually in the "normal" departments of the stores making it NOT plus size. Maybe where your from it's different, IDK.

    Love My Fitness Pal! I've known about it for a few wks now and it keeps me conscious of what and how I'm eating.
    Really getting into fitness and health and I'm enjoying it. I've spread the word to friends and friends of friends and glad to see so many people motivated and dedicated. If you're serious about getting fit add me as a friend! :) #teamfit

    Your size 12 is our Size 16, our size 12 is your 8, I think.
    So your size 8 here is a 12 (the 12 that Kim K is) plus size.
    I'm a US 12 & a UK 16, I'm 179lbs, that makes me plus sized.

    Would you rather they say you're overweight?

    Depends I guess. Size 12 isn't small.

    But where do you draw the line of being overweight? Most people's vision of overweight is grossly wrong. Mine was.

    I totally hate it. And I also hate when guys tell me that they are more attracted to "big girls" or "thick girls" or whatever other way they try to make it sound better than "fat."

    I love to be called voluptuous....

    I never mean it to be a fat thing...
    I think it means curvy in a good way, who doesn't want that

    I don't mind it since it is a polite way of stating I'm fat and at least the person is nice enough not to be insulting. The word overall has good intention behind it. If someone wanted to they could just straight out call me fat, cow, etc, I'm sure alot of mean things or not even take the time of day to say anything to me at all. Voluptuous is sweet and playful.

    All the double figure sizes are plus sized here, apart from size 10.

    If our size 12 is your size 8, I'd really hate to see what your size 18 is... that must be huge & waaaaay over the plus size mark.

    Maybe technically its not labeled a plus size but it depends on your height I would assume. I just know a size 12 is a plus size for me, I'm 5' 1"
