Is it true that curvy women aren't the ideal type of woman for most guys?

The reason I'm asking this is because I literally just wanna know if it's true. I'm obviously not talking about morbidly obese women claiming to be "curvy", I mean genuine curvy girls. I consider myself curvy.

I have somewhat big boobs but I don't know if a C cup really counts. I have an ass, I have thicc thighs (not thunder thighs), and my belly isn't really "fat", I just have a tiny bit of chub that I'm trying to consistently get rid of.

No guys have ever found me attractive in person. I have gotten compliments online, though. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I try to be friendly, likable, and cordial, but guys only seem to like the skinny, small boob girls. I constantly feel insecure about the way I look. It's not like I don't exercise, I do at least 3-4 days a week. My build is very similar to the girl below:

Superb Opinion

  • A lot of guys like curvy women. Others like 'just fat girls'. There is even a term for that kinda women by calling them "BBW" (not safe to google at work!)
    I happen to be a guy who prefers a curvy woman over a skinny one.

    And I'll let u in on a secret. There are a LOOOOOOOOT of women who has the perfect figure who are still insecure about their appearance. So stop worrying.
    I'd say, don't actively go looking for a guy, cuz a lot of times you'll end up attracting the wrong kind.
    Just take ur time, continue ur life and then love will just "happen" to you.
    :-)

    ps: ofcourse at this point we are all dying to see what you look like, but i'll respect your anonimity.

  • This is a bit tricky.
    There are guys that legitimately love curvy women, but there are also ones who have a kink for curvy women.
    It also honestly depends on the type of "curvy" we're speaking about because someone with a body similar to Kim Kardashian are considered curvy, but also women who have the similar body of lizzo are also considered curvy and either or can make a huge difference when talking about this.
    I do think that it is more popular to go after curvy women women who are shaped like Kim K dating, sex wise, etc. especially considering that that is the new beauty standard of today and the preferred body type, than a more plus sized woman such as someone like lizzo who I tend to see many guys only go for because of some strange sexual benefit or as a deep dark fetish.

  • If you have the face to go w that body then I’d love a bite of that. There are plenty of us men out there who like that type of body. Sometimes maybe we’re just intimidated to talk to her, maybe we may think she’s already taken. There’s a number of reasons. I grew up around a lot of Hispanic women, boy do they have curves for days. That is what I love. I’m not saying I’d kick a skinny hot girl out of my bed if she was in it, I just prefer women who have curves. That girl there may be a little thick but I’d still be ok w that. To me curves would be someone like Salma Hayek, especially when she was younger. If only we could see what you looked like that would help out a lot.

  • Guys like curvy women... do it might not be your body type thats turning me off.

  • Guys are not all alike! Some prefer girls like the one in the picture, and some prefer petite and dainty girls.

  • Nothing wrong with the physique in the picture, sounds like you have some bad luck meeting guys IRL. From the comments and your question, sounds like there are a lot of guys who like that shape, just might just not be the sort guys you normally go for.

  • I love all of these ridiculous terms for fat... Lol..

  • I don't. I prefer fit or trim body types.

  • I think the girl in the pic you posted has an attractive body. I accept and appreciate the normal diversity in women's body types.

  • If you look like her then I want a piece of you😈

  • I love curvy women... as long as they are curvy FIT and not curvy FAT.
    There is a difference.

  • I think that varies from man to man.

  • Plenty of guys like curvy girls

  • You are fine young woman if you can keep everything firm like the woman in the picture. The issue with being thicc is that over time things start to sag. That isn't exactly a bad thing us guys sag too, but if you are trying to pick up young men, you may look older than you are. If you are a big and tall guy you kind of worry about some of these small girls. It is no fun if your stuff doesn't fit.

  • It depends largely on your opinion of "curvy'. To me, it's always been the supper model type! Nice ass, sexy legs, big gorgeous tits; somebody that's got lots of curves! To most people today, curvy means fat!!

  • While that's curvy, i wouldn't consider it the ideal curvy type. It's not unattractive though

  • That's not 'curvey', that's THICK. Some like him fat, some don't.
    So, based on what strangers on the internet like, you're going to somehow change to that? WTF over.

  • That's my wife now... lots of fun.
    Attitude and confidence, dear.
    If this is your body type you've got nothing to worry about.

  • It might be someone’s individual opinion. I don’t prejudge that way.

  • I would say that it is true. But simply for the reason that the definition of the term "curvy" is slowly shifting from meaning: "a woman that has a well defined hip/waist line and/or nice boobies" (hour glass shape), to meaning: "fat or chubby".

  • I like chubby and bbws but they don’t like me back because they’re worried they will get hurt

  • I like that body shape and I like slimmer types as well

  • They are as long as they’re not fat
