What is Chubby and what is curvy - Is it the same?

[Anonymous]

I always been confused about this question , because both seems so similar.

[skullly]

Curvy: is used to describe the average fat people today...

and chubby is used to describe overweight people who are in denial of being overweight and just say they are chubby... www.chilloutpoint.com/.../...l-chubby-women-16.jpg (That's not chubby or curvy, it's fat!)

BUT
BACK TO REALITY!:
Chubby is a someone who is slightly over their weight limit and appear to be pudgy but not too much.

Curvy is someone who is somewhat slender but with muscular or fat on the right places making a nice silhouette..

I consider myself a curvy girl because my waist is pretty small but my actual hips are a lot wider (kind of like an hourglass figure) :) There's a major difference because people refer to me as "small" and "petite" sometimes but my actual shape is not straight up and down. I know for a fact that I'm not considered "chubby" because my weight and height are perfectly normal. Really hope this answered your question! :) I think "curvy" refers to an actual shape whereas "chubby" refers more to actual appearances if that makes sense? But regardless every body shape is beautiful and should be appreciated for what it is as long as the person is healthy and feels confident :)

I think you're more confused than you think - how is this an 'education and career' topic?

Chubby is a bigger than normal amount of body fat which isn't well proportioned on the body - bigger belly, while curvy may be a bit more fat, but still in the normal weight range + it's distributed proportionally and the person doesn't look overweight.

curvy is someone who has naturally larger hips and boobs but doesn't have fat on them. Chubby is a bit of padding (slightly overweight)

Thats why its annoying when overweight people call themselves curvy, they aren't... Greek women tend to be curvy, I have a good friend who is lovely and slim but curvy with it (wide hips and big bust but slim waist and legs)

Basically, curvy is super hot; chubby is less rare and less attractive.

Isn't that athletic / fit ;o?

[BertMacklinFBI]

its also curvy ain't it? ;)

I think that people consider chubby to be someone with a bigger stomach and more fat on the hips, whereas someone who's considered to be curvy has a flatter stomach and less body fat, but their breasts and hips are naturally larger.

Great explanation

This isn't exactly right but

Curvy is a small waist, and proportionately larger hips and breasts. Think a woman with the measurements 36-24-36. That's curvy.

Chubby is overweight. It's where fat rolls start to form.

[SirenDep]

exactly. curvy mostly refers to women with an hourglass body shape

[SomeoneImportant]

People have their own definition of the two

But in the general public eye

Curvy is like Jennifer Lopez
Chubby doesn't necessarily have a specific figure to identify with, it's just associated with being out of shape/overweight.

Yes, chicks who don't want to acknowledge the fact that they are fat or chubby tell themselves that they are "curvy" or "plus size". That way they can make excuses for not dieting or exercising... or doing anything to get healthy... including dealing with the emotional issues of why they eat too much and have a sedentary lifestyle.

i think curvy is how your body is based on your muscle, while chubby is based on how your body is with your small amount of fat (read: NOT dangerously overweight)

[RJGraveyTrain]

Curviness is subjective, but to me personally, I believe curviness means that you are a woman (regardless of weight) with an hourglass frame.

[Aden19]

Curvy is a way of making a chubby person feel better but in reality there chubby. I always set a woman straight when she calls herself curvy

[KidanisCortes]

Curva has a f FLAT stomach along the big boobs and hips chubby has flab along with the big attributes

[BroBroncoski]

Lmao

Chubby is just fatass McDonald rolls

Curvy is when its actually making curve in bod like Big boobs going down to small waist going down to big ass making a curve. Like Maria sharapowa

Curvy is a shape, chubby is a measurement of body fat.

[westcoastbratt92]

Curvy girls are thick. Chubby girls are just fat.

[lemonlimetime]

Who even knows? I guess I consider it both.
