Whay do some girls and guys call curvy girls fat?

By curvy I don't mean overweight.
I mean a girl with curves and some meat on her bones.

Curves are accentuated curves all women have (hips and breasts) with slightly ticker arms and legs, with a proper waist with flat stomach.
If you don't have that, if your curves aren't where they should be, I'd call you fat too. Not to your face of course, I'd consider you fat.

There are other standards too. There are people who think anything but skinny looking with tiny frame and overall thin small build is fat. I like being relatively thin like this, but I don't consider it "average" I consider it thin.

And then there are standards where people look at a walrus and call them (mostly her) curvy. That.. No, just no.
I have nothing against the person, nor do I care that they are fat. But they ARE fat.

I agree with what you said and fat is not curvy. What I mean is that many men and women that like the skinny look or are skinny call everybody that is not like that fat. And many girls that are curvy and not fat are going through extreme measures to be skinny.
But if a girl doesn't have a flat stomach it doesn't mean she is fat. Like my sister is underweight and does not have a flat stomach. People have different forms and fat distributes on their body differently.

Each persons definition of what is thin, curvy, chubby, fat, or whatever is going to vary.. So while some girls may have a healthy amount of fat on their bodies, there is always going to be people who disagree about what a "healthy" amount actually is.
If you are healthy, eat right, and exercise.. you are most likely going to be in good health so don't worry about it :)

A lot of overweight people started using the term "curvy" as a euphemism for overweight. I doesn't make sense to me either because the curves I'm thinking about isn't so much the roundness of the body. I related it to the waist and hip ratio. It has becomes a culturally ambiguous word.

[Asker]

True. I mean when a girl is not overweight.

[cavmanier]

Yeah logically I wouldn't think curves and weight would be related. I actually think as a girl gains weight amost of the time that hip curve is lost. Like I said though it's a way to sound positive.

[Asker]

It depends on how much she gains and genetics.

[AdamThomas]

Might be best if you show us a picture of what you call "curvy". You don't have to be huge to be overweight.

[Asker]

By curvy I mean a person that is avarage weight and has some meat on her bones. Like many latina or black celebrities. Shakira or beyonce or katy perry or christina hendriks would be a good example.

[AdamThomas]

Okay, they aren't fat, they all look great. Jealousy I suppose?

[ShesSoSilly]

Because "curvy", "voluptuous", "thick", "full-figured" and terms like that are subjective. What one may see as "curvy" may be "fat" to another person. Also there are women who are clearly overweight who call themselves these terms.
So it just depends on who's saying it and what they personally think fits the term.

[Asker]

Yeah true.Many obese girls call themselves curvy.
I mean girls that are not overweight.

[confugirl]

Because curvy doesn't mean having meat on your bones. Curvy means having a small waist and broad hips. It's in the shape of your bones, not how much "meat" you have.

[Asker]

Yeah true. I said curvy and some meat on her bones. By that I meant that she doesn't have no fat whatsoever but has a healthy amount and not overweight.
Curvy bodies especially the hourglass figures and the pear shape and the apple shape tend to have more fat than some other body types. It maybe thick thighs or big boobs or a big but or maybe some fat in the arm or inner thigh area. But not medically overweight. It can actually look sexy and proportional

[DivaMonae]

Most people don't especially if you really aren't fat/ over weight.

Most people would say thick and admire the fact that you manage to have a nice shaped body and not be anorexic at the same time.

[Asker]

That depends on the culture. Some countries don't know what thick is and think that a girl that is not skinny or very slender is fat.

[DivaMonae]

Wow then they must think majority of Americans are disgusting considering the whole obesity epidemic

[Asker]

Yeah even though I don't agree with them. Underweight is also unhealthy. In my country people are naturally curvy and not fat. But, they try to diet their curves away and do surgery to decrease their hips etc ...
They find celebrities like shakira and Beyoncé to be fat. Even though they are far from fat and have very nice figures.

[DivaMonae]

I find that amazing now maybe if it was skinny stick people from another country I could understand why they think like this but not the people that are born this way.

Many people in America would kill to be curvey and get surgery for it.

[Asker]

They like to copy the thin and tall model look that many white european girls have.

[thatbuffedkid]

Cos those aren't curves. Those are McDonalds mostly

[cavmanier]

Lol don't tell me mc d has spread to Russia?

[Asker]

Lol. No I mean girls with real curves. Like I said above girls that are not stick thin and have body types like shakira or beyonce etc ...

[thatbuffedkid]

Hell noone hates that typo bod. But I do think beyonce is over rated, js ha

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

Because most of them aren't thick or curvy. Being thick or curvy means a woman has a nice shapely figure, like hour glass and she's healthy. Most girls claiming to be this way have no real shapely figure.
