Female body types

why is "normal" a girl whose ribs are starting to show? and why does it jump straight to morbidly obese? stuff like this just makes me feel there is no hope.0
-
normal is my ultimate goal/dream but because of my hips it will probably stay just that a dream so I'll take curvy0
-
Curvy0
-
Normal looks like a teenager- early 20's pre kids kinda shape. I'm lookin' at curvy for sure at my age. Always was hourglass type shape anyway. No matter how hard I work/lift I will never get muscular definition like the athletes/body builders. I can pull a 50 lb bow back, but you'd never know it by looking at me. Big and defined is just not in the gene-pool for me. Guess I gotta be happy with what I got...0

I'm already there. I used to be just curvy before MFP, but now I'm more of a cross between curvy and athletic is what it looks like. :happy:0
-
I've seen this image before, its not complete, AND #2 is NOT normal that is SKINNY0
-
Curvy! That's what I'll be at my goal.0
-
Normal. But I think with my build I'll look too skinny.0
-
I want to have that athletic look, but with the curvy boobs, and muscular arms. I really have this thing about wanting to have nice, toned arms where you can see the muscle definition.0
-
Thanks now I know I'm chubby slightly close to curvy but defo chubby :frown:0
-
Oh to be normal! That lady looks better than normal to me, though....
I would put money on the fact that 95% of American women could not fit into the "Normal" catagory in these pics. I'm slightly offended and saddened that anyone may actually think that is Normal and what I should aspire to.
However, I won't hold a grudge because I've never aspired to being normal. In high school according to these pictures I would have considered myself in the "Chubby" catagory when I was 103 lbs (5' 2") -- almost 20 years later (not telling how many) I realize I was much closer to the "Curvy" picture. At this point in my life, I feel that the Fat chick is pretty damn hot!!! Put a little muscle under that and Kazzam! Smokin!0 -
Right now I'd say I'm right between curvy girl and chubby girl, but with a lot more muscle.
Also I think the chick labeled 'fat' looks pretty good. When I think of 'fat' I think more of the girl labeled 'obese'.0 -
Hey guys, my name is Amber. Some o fyu will have seen the thread I posted earlier which got deleted. I just want o let you guys in on a bit of information. I am a loyal and faithful christian to the Lord, and Jesus christ and also an animal lover. This is why I am a vegetabletarian. There is a girl on this site who goes by the name Sophiebee92. Please do not be friends with her. She is a prostitute. Last year my bf made 1 million dollars reviewing and directing pornos. And he says he has seen her in one. Also I am on this site to be honest and respectful so it makes me mad when people lie about their bodies. This girl 100% has fake boobs, I can tell. Plus my dad is one of the top 3 plastic surgeons in the country and he told me. She is also on steriods, that is how she has muscles. I respectfully warn all of you that she has sold these to, please don't take them. Having muscle kills girls.
Plus what cheerleader and blonde girl like her have you ever seen who is not a complete *****. It is obvious that the only reason she is on this site is to sell her body. Now that is not ok with me. If you want a friend like her just go to the grocery store and by yourself a Barbie doll, its the same thing!!
Also I want to warn you about some of her other friends too. One of them personally told me in a pm that her family are thieves. Another one called me a ***** and two of them were in pornons with her. Some o fthe most insulting comments were from cannonsky, delco, glamour60xtreme, becca_daniel, grapenutsf to name a few! All because I tried to give a little constructive criticism
Also I urge you guys to please help me get her banned. Thank you and I hope you have a pleasant evening!!0 -
Definitely curvy!0
-
Pretty badly worded question considering I can't change my genetics.0
-
Curvy!0
-
I'd ideally be a normal-athletic-curvy hybrid.
As long as I get to keep my boobs, I'm happy. Lol0 -
Curvy...or Fat surprisingly.0

um the only body in these photos im not kinda grossed out by is "fat" then again i dont like looking at women anyway...
Nah. If I could be that "fat"...I'd be happy.0 -
curvy ... right now im chubby...0
-
I'd prefer to be a normal/athletic mix. Actually, replace "prefer to" with "will." I think I'm "curvy" right now.0
-
I would love to be half way between 8 and 90

PLUS, a lot of these are talking about weight, not body type. Morbidly obese is not a body type. Neither is chubby. Neither is muscular. You have to alter your appearance to gain these body shapes, they are not a natural body type. The "normal" one is not "normal" - it may be a "normal" bf% and weight bit if you title it body types, you're talking pear, apple, hourglass etc.
And the woman labeled "normal" is a banana or whatever, which I'm pretty sure is the least common shape - pear shaped is most common.
And yeah, we can't decide which is our goal, as most of us do not have the same build as these women, and bf%/weight gain/loss will do nothing to change that.
A better title would have been "female weights and body fat %" and asked what people are aiming for in that respect.
I can't aim to be an hourglass shape anymore than I can aim to have black skin.0 -
I'll never fit any of the ones I would *really* like, so I see no reason to torture myself with images of others' bodies and the labels other people give them. I would like to be within a healthy body percentage range, with whatever athletic build I can manage. Like so many women, my weight is holding on in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I see no way that my stomach will never be flat so if my body ends up a bit like the chubby picture because of that while I still have a healthy body fat percentage, so be it.0
-
Curvy. I definitely have the assets for it...lol. I just need to lose my tummy (which I will with support).0
-
Why don't we line men up based on their weight and judge them accordingly. I mean, really, have you ever seen this for men?
This whole scale promotes disordered eating and body image. I can't believe someone with so much training posted this.0 -

This too. I was surprised because I've seen him posting in the forums, and this seems so STUPID, didn't expect it from him.
I think it was an honest "guy moment" but still0
