are curves in?

I honestly believe it depends on how the girl/woman carries it. I don't believe it's not attractive, it just depends on the person and how well they carry it. Confidence is everything.

I'd just have to ask if they are legitimately hourglass or are just saying that because they're a larger size. I know a lot of people think they're "curvy" until they lose the weight and realise they just had some extra fat on their hips.

All body types are in. You know why? Because everyone likes a different kind of body. One person may like their girls curvy and another may prefer a more "ruler" shaped person. Be comfortable with your own body type.

If there's one fad you shouldn't follow, it's trying to fit a body type. Because it's unrealistic to want to change your body type for the kind of clothing that is trendy at the moment.

I think curves are in! HOWEVER there is a fine line about being curvy and when it becomes well.....sloppy.

Is a size 14-16 hourglass figure considered unattractive or are curves considered beautiful?

Depends how you carry them. Every figure is attractive as long as you own it. Carry yourself with confidence, and you're sexy as hell.

I can't help but wonder why you're asking this...

it gets asked about once a day, every day ....oh well

I think ANY shape is in, it's just in all how you hold your head up high!!

There's a body type for every man/woman for their attraction, but I have noticed more men/women dig a lady with curves

Curves always in. Rolls are not.

I'm 5'5''. About 4 years ago, my weight was at 125 pounds and I was very physically active. I joined my uncles boxing gym and worked out constantly. I still couldn't get into any size smaller than an 11, but size wasn't what I was aiming for. I'm an advocate for loving your body regardless of what size you are! If you can carry yourself well and have a good self esteem, then you are a beautiful person!

Curves will always be in....Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Christina Hendricks! If you have a shape like that, be proud and forget what anyone else says...flaunt it! Be beautiful, because you know you are!

Personally - that is not my ideal. Not to say that other people don't dig it though.

I have an opinion though that most people who advocate the bigger girl are doing it because they think it makes them sound like cooler people, and if you gave them an actual real life choice would choose the model every time.

This was my ex exactly! He always said he "liked" that I was a big girl...I told him he was full of it. He just couldnt get the kind of girl he actually wanted so he settled for me. Proof...all of his porn was stick thin women. Not one single "thick" girl to be found. Every video, magazine, or photo on his phone were of women that were less than half my size. If he had really and truely thought my body was beautiful I think there would have be at least ONE picture of a bigger girl some where in his porn stash. Men can say they like bigger girls, but in my experience, if they are given the choice they will go with the skinny girl every time.
