Curvy vs. Fat. What's the difference?

[Anonymous]

I consider myself to be fat. I am five foot ten 195 pounds and wear a size 14/ 16 in jeans.36DD I am overweight but not obese. To me anything over 150 is fat but I put on almost 50 pounds in six months after moving across the country. I hate how my body looks. But my 23 year old five foot six two hundred and fifty pound sister calls herself curvy. What? Can someone explain to me what the difference is between being fat and curvy?

Curvy has to do with your natural body shape. I've seen both overweight and slim girls that are curvy and both overweight and slim girls that are not. Some women have a waist line that is naturally defined in contrast to their hips. Others have a waist line that's rather straight up and down with a measurement that's close in number to their hip measurement. A thin woman with an undefined waist-line is not going to magically be curvy if she gains weight. She's just going to go from being a straight up and down thin woman to a straight up and down thick one. Thin women can also be curvy. A woman with wide hips that naturally stores body fat in her lower half instead of her waist is going to be curvy even when slim.

Curvy these days is a nice way to call a fat girl big. Apparently there is a fat acceptance movement going on

No, it's fat peopel in denial trying to force the world to accept it. So everyone responded by giving "curvy" a double meaning so they take insult as a compliment. Genious really XD

@dartmaul15 that's what I meant. It's called a fat acceptance movement meaning fat people want them to accept them as they are. It's the same thing

[dartmaul15]

Either way, the consequense is the same.
not being into fat girls is hardcoded into guys, just as not being into fat guys is hardcoded into girls. You can't alter instincts just like that, so it's doomed to fail.
simple as that.

Prolly the most objective definition is if the waist equals or exceeds the hips.

[srslyly]

Now I think about it, that's prolly "obese" mebbe it's more like if the waist exceeds 90% of the hips?

So )( is curvy ( ) is fat. That's basically what your saying? A big belly is what makes the difference?

[Asker]

Youre* oh my goodness. Haha. Typo

[srslyly]

Maybe
II=thin
)(=curvy
l l=fat
()=obese
I mean because "curvy" is meant to imply that it is attractive, not that it is indistinguishable from a man of the same weight.

From what my friends have told me, curvy is when there is one nice, smooth curve on a part of a body. Fat is when there are 5 curves in that same spot instead of one.

[mrwunderful]

Okay easy... Anna Nicole Smith curvy... Kim Kardashian curvy... J LOL curvy... if you got a gut... it's fat...

[Anonymous]
