Guys, When a woman says she's 'curvy' do guys automatically assume that means 'fat'? Or if curvy is not your thing, maybe just too fat for you?

Does it bring up images of Beyonce? or Rosie o'Donnell? 😜

That's what I thought, thanks

MY definition of curvy means "round, bigger boobs and hips/butt", so, say, these girls:

Notice that they are NOT fat - they have very defined waists, no bellies, but bigger, rounder boobs and bigger hips. A "skinny" girl with bigger boobs and hips could be curvy too, and a heavier girl could also be curvy.

But, yes, way too many women who are legitimately fat have hijacked the word curvy when they're really just fat. Yes, your boobs are big, but that doesn't matter if your stomach is bigger.

This is NOT curvy - but many women who look like this would use that word to describe themselves.

Lol agreed. Unfortunate that the term has been hijacked

[TripleAce]

Lol that last picture though is outta control
But someone wants her lol for sure

But I agree here. The first 2 girls are good examples of curvy 😛

[TripleAce]

When a girl says curvy immediatly think she's fat lol
Cause a curvy girl wouldn't call herself curvy. She has too much pride. She will say she's sexy or hot

A fat girl will say she's curvy. I got curves 😂 And an obsese girl will call herself fat

Lol

[Asker]

Lol good point. So what's the best way for a true curvy girl to describe her physique? In one word

[TripleAce]

Well I'm talking to an actual curvy girl...
slim waist, wider shoulders... wide hips, fat ass... and thick legs

I think he best way is to say
I'm Slim/curvy

[Asker]

Hm ok

[TripleAce]

Ya slim/curvy works
it tells us that she is a slim girl with with encetuated curves...
Because you can also get thick curvy... and big curvy... and fat curvy lol

[Asker]

What's thick curvy?

[TripleAce]

Thick curvy is when her wrist isn't dainty but rather thick... but her ratios line up in such a way that she still has the appearance of wider shoulders, wider hips, tapered in waist and thicker legs... all the same ratios as the slim curvy just scaled higher up

Know what I mean

[Asker]

Ok interesting. Thanks for helping!

[TripleAce]

So like big curvy

[Asker]

So those descriptions are generally accepted, not just your interpretation? Serious question...

[TripleAce]

I think they are my interpretation
But the formal definition of curvy is:
A full bust, Protuding round butt and slim waist

So i guess as long as she has that those attributes you're in the clear regardless of size

[Asker]

Thank you 👍🏻

[TripleAce]

So is that you? Lol
After all that what do you think hahah?

[Asker]

Haha thick curvy for sure.

[TripleAce]

😍😛
Damn lol
Must be one sexy women then

[Asker]

Lol I get by...

[RandomGuyAU]

What one person sees as "curvy" might be seen by another as "fat"... I generally picture "curvy" as either a pronounced hourglass shape (large chest, smaller waist, large hips/butt) or what the women's magazines call "pear shaped".
In my online dating life, though, I've noticed that when a girl writes curvy, she's more likely than not fat (from the front view, her entire upper body is no narrower than her shoulders, and often her belly goes further out than her breasts)

Not that I can talk, being about 380lb...

[Asker]

The pronounced hourglass is also how I think of curvy. However, that shape might = fat to some people.

It brings up images of Christina Hendricks to me, & she's fucking awesome. But a lot of women say 'curvy' when they mean Rosie o'Donnell.

[Asker]

I was going to say Christina Hendricks but wasn't sure if anyone here knew who she was! She is awesome.

[Mexicoman101]

She's my wife in the only reality of being myself worth dying for

[WalterRadio]

The problem is that women don't know what "curvy" means. Therefore, when a woman says she is "curvy", it doesn't mean anything until I see for myself.

[meatballs21]

Curvy has been co-opted by fat activists.

It should mean Christina Hendricks but it more often means Mama June circa 2012.

[pcaddict]

Curvy to me means big boobs small waste, big hips. If she's not fat in neck or face, she's not fat

[KaydenChrist]

my definition of curvy is a Beyonce, but I feel like most people who look like Rosie O'Donnell claim curvy too much.

[Regular1]

Curvy usually means fat. On dating sites, it means morbidly obese.

[cantingpython]

When people call them self curvy they are usually just fat

[NerdInDenial]

I assume fat until I see her.

[Robsinsf53]

I seen a house (300+lbs.) claim curvy... ? WTF?

[Anonymous]

Yeah. Just in my opinion.

[amitcs90]

Nops curvy means sexy...

[alexandar]

Same

[None18am]

I like curvy.
