Why do obese women on OKcupid and POF list their body types as "curvy" and "average"?

Anonymous
I recently started this whole online dating thing and noticed a few things.
(1.) There are many, many obese women on these online dating sites. Not overweight, but obese. They seem to make up a majority of the population of women with single moms (18-21) only being a step below.
(2.) These girls try to hide it, too, but taking only headshot photos that can't show their body. Not only that, but instead of listing their body type as "overweight", "BBW", "a few pounds extra", etc. they have the audacity to put "average" or "curvy". All are at least 20lbs above average.
(3.) These women seem to have the pickiest standards and always write angry posts. Most only want a "country boy" that does x, y, and z. They also say like first thing in their profile: "NO HOOKUPS! NO DOUCHEBAGS ALLOWED!", which is not only quite angry sounding but makes them come off at bitches and drives any guy away.

Why is this? Any other men or women notice this behavior?
