If you have to ask this question, you're not mature enough to have a boyfriend. Seriously.
How is that? That's not true!! I've seen older women ask similar things
Doesn't make older women mature enough if they're asking this question.
For fucks sake he's trying to compliment you. Any women who are too self conscious of their weight that they twist the words of their SO, they weren't ready for a relationship to begin with.
As I've said, I'm not self conscious of my weight. I know I'm not fat & I'm not twisting anything. I just don't want to keep a boyfriend who thinks that I'm fat. Maybe men should learn how to give compliments
No offense lady.
Maybe it's you who needs to stop overthinking every single word that comes out of your boyfriend's mouth.
@Pearl97 Typical. Instead of a man learning to express himself appropriately, it's me who has the problem 👌
Holy shit. You're blowing this out of proportion.
Curvy does not mean fat. Period. I went over the comments. And your boyfriend didn't say anything wrong. My SO says the same thing. I'm fit and I'm a boxer ffs I KNOW I'm not fat but I do know that I have curves.
I don't know what you're talking about with "typical" but admitting that you are wrong isn't a blow to the ego. It's respectable. That's how life works.
@Pearl97 I mean 'typical' the woman is expected to smile & play the part to keep a man. How dare we speak up when we don't like something or question anything a man says. I'm not wrong. He doesn't know how to compliment or stfu
Not really. I'm not about that typical bs. I'm not here to attack you. But with me and my SO whoever is wrong we make sure the other one knows what they did. A relationship should be based on respect not half assed gender roles and empty assumptions.
It's not like I've never been wrong. When I am, I admit it & apologize. I don't feel I'm wrong here though. I feel very insulted. Thank you for your take on things though :)
Tbh I felt bad about the way I have replied before. It was a bit harsh and everyone here is being so damn aggressive.
I do apologize.
I'd say talk to the guy. Tell him how you feel.
I wish you nothing but the best.
Thank you :)
No. Being curvy is a good thing. I don't see why you should feel insulted.
How's curvy good? Do you like fat girls?
'Curvy' does NOT mean 'fat'. Curves are determined by your body's natural bone structure, not by your weight.
I hate women like you lol
No he wasn't calling you fat, stop looking for drama and arguments where there aren't any. He's complimenting you. Now shut up and appreciate your man.
I guess my standards aren't low enough to think of that as a compliment, but if it works for you 👏
And yes, curvy is sometimes used as a euphemism for fat, but very rarely by men. It's usually used as curvy=fat by women. So unless he's actually secretly a women, you're overreacting.
Even if he IS calling you fat, despite literally saying "but not fat" (ugh, your stupidity is really, really hard to not acknowledge or insult), so what? He obviously still likes you.
I'm not fat & I don't want a man that thinks that I am. I don't want some guy that likes fat bitches
You're really, really obtuse. Go eat a hot dog and shut up
Yeah, no... I'm a vegetarian. You can go suck a dick with your low standards though
Lol you're making us non meat eaters look bad. I just think you're trolling now
Well, I'm not but you're really just being a bitch. I mean women should just shut up & take everything as a compliment? I'm not a feminist, but that's a fucked up philosophy to have
No, not everything is a compliment. But literally nothing he said was offensive. you're just twisting his words
How? Those were his exact words I posted. I'm not offended, I'm insulted. You know as well as I do that fat girls have hijacked this word. So, it makes me question it. I think that's normal. "Thick" is even worse than curvy lol
But you're not dating a fat girl. you're dating a man, I assume, and he hasn't hijacked the term. So stop being offended or insulted because he's not trying to hurt you
It's not his intent, I know but my point was how the word has kind of taken on a different meaning. Men aren't oblivious to that. Thanks for your perspective though :)
Its the patriarchy.
Your boyfriend is a low key misogynist
If you're blonde, I'm sure he thinks you're dumb.
#curvyisthenewfat.
Sounds like you need to calm down and ask him what he means by this.
Its a compliment relax, he's saying you have curves meaning nice breasts/butt and figure.
no he didn't he mean well
because he said curves in the right places
He wasn't low key calling you fat but I think you might be low key crazy...
Well you're definitely judgy. I'm not crazy, I'm pissed off. There's a difference
You're pissed off because your boyfriend complemented your body...
It's only a compliment if you're a fat girl. I'm not fat & not complimented, thank you
He ment it as a compliment...
Ok & you know this? 👌
yea he meant you are obsese
Well aren't you a helpful little smart ass?
thank you!
but on a serious note, relax. curvy is a good thing. if he wasn t attracted to you he won t stay with you and I guess since you two are together you should have good communication between you guys. hence is smthng is bugging one of ya, he should just say it.
What do you mean? Are you saying that my weight was bugging him so he said something about it?
are you trolling me rn or just playing stupid?
No I'm not trolling or playing stupid. Maybe I misunderstood your response. So sorry!!
I am just saying if he didn t like smthng about you then he would just tell you.
for me it sounded more like a compliment, having curves is a good thing.
Then I said he wouldn t be with you if he wasn t into you.
by the way check the pics on pink anon and tell me which body type are you closer to.
He didn't call you fat chill
yeah girl whoop this little bitch's ass
Curvy is deff a compliment ! I'd rather be curvy than anything 💜 flaunt and love yourself
Why would you rather be curvy? To each their own but that's kinda gross 😂 😂
Oh girl you'll learn some day
I hope not lol
You need to learn to love yourself hun. 💁💅💄👠 who cares what the little boy said anyway... love yourself
I do actually. I know I'm not fat. I just don't want to keep a man around who thinks that I am
Lol oyyyyy... He called you curvy not fat... big difference... just like what else everyone else telling you here too..
I'm hearing what people are saying. I know I must seem really stubborn but these days they do kind of mean the same thing. Sad but true
How old are you? -- and yes in this generation everything sounds just about crazy... but I'm telling you curvy is sexy to guys
I'm almost 21
God bless you ! To be 21 again... well you said almost.. but girl really... don't be with any guy who makes you feel sad... but I promise you curvy is a sexy thing to a guys tho and if you really feel like your boyfriend is making it out like it's not dump his ass... but it doesn't sound like it..."curves in all the right places" he's pleased!!!
What do his exes look like?
Not as good as me lol. I don't see the relevance though...
Well, if he has dated "thick" women before, it could be a compliment. If he has just dated skinny women, then he could be calling you fat.
No, I'd say I'm actually smaller than most of them
Then, you should have nothing to worry about.
Youvare twisting his words
How am I doing that? I posted the exact words that he said
What im saying is that some guys like thicker women. A girl being thick and fat are similar but not the same. Thicker means you have more meat to make your body look better. Fat is having too much meat in the wrong areas, creating lumps and flaps. Point is, he gave you a compliment and you are making it out to be an insult
Just because someone likes fat girls, doesn't make it a compliment to call a girl fat!
Ugh again you are taking it in wrong. I don't know if women just don't know the words guys like to use but you aparently don't. Only way for me to best explain this to you is for you to google thick girls and fat girls. there's a big difference
I did. Basically looks the same to me. Thanks for your input though :)
hey.. being curvy is being sexy...
You must be into fat girls?
not fat girls.. muscles.. not fat.. like Sofia vergara..
@Asker you have a very closed mind. Curvy is a good thing to some guys. You really need to take a step back and seriously chill.
hey.. asker why don't you post a pic in how do I look...
Because I'm not interested in stranger's opinions on what I look like
hey.. then think that it was a compliment from your boyfriend..
You're not interested in people's opinions of what you look like, but you're looking for our affirmation that he did call you fat? This is an issue that won't be resolved until you're okay with yourself. None of us can honestly help you right now. Not while you're upset.
@watercolor_lions I wanted an opinion on his words. It's a bit desperate to seek internet opinions on appearance. I know I'm not fat. My doctor knows I'm not fat, so...
hey.. he is fucking you.. it can only mean one thing.. he is attracted to you..
Oh yeah... cause guys never have sex with a girl they're not really attracted to 👌
well.. I am a virgin.. so how the fuck would I know...
Lol. Good for you :)
is it a mockery..
No not at all. I think being a virgin is nice
may I ask how did you lost yours...
Typical, I was 16 with a guy from school. I don't regret it but I kinda wish I'd waited
why do you wish that?
Just wish it'd been more special instead of just getting it over with in a way
wow.. right now.. I feel just the opposite.. its like I want to do it as fast asi can..
Well, you're a guy. That's normal. I get it. Just don't rush into it, it'll happen
yeah.. I guess..
by the way.. I font know why you are so obsessed with being skinny because curves are better for woman.. a woman with curves find it easier to reproduce..
I don't want to be skinny. Don't want to be fat either. "Thicker than skinny" really sounds like fat to me
hey.. its just your thinking.. I want 14 %body fat.. anything above it doesn't really means ugly.. it means yeah a bit more fat concentration.. so what he may still be Good looking for all I know..
same for female department..
No lol, he basically just called you sexy
Yeah, now go drown your sorrows with a burger.
I'm a vegetarian, so I guess a veggie burger then
Fuck it, just chug the ranch.
Rofl
lol 😂😂 Ale.
Lolll hahaha women
Tf? 😂
Haha :-D seriously he just gave you a compliment and called you curvy... Not fat
I mean I don't see how it's a compliment, but everyone else seems to think so :)
Of course you are a women... It's your women logic that's why
Women logic? Somebody hates women...
Oh hell no I don't hate women... But the way you think definitely is women logic... Men think differently when complimenting... And women think differently when receiving a compliment
I'm intrigued... Explain?
curvy is not fat
It is used that way sometimes though
sometimes because they are confused on what curvy means, but your boyfriend doesn't mean fat in this instance
No
He mean u r sexy
