"I state clearly on my profile I'm plus size, yet I've had a couple of men saying after a number of messages sorry thought you meant size 16. So in your view what size is plus size? " I think the issue is that people will refer to online shop sizes whenever they're unsure. And sadly 16 tends to be classified as 'plus' by many. Pretty sure it's still the average dress size in the UK so always confused when it's thrown into the 'plus' category. And does the definition even need to exist? Why can't people just a size? A | |||

"I state clearly on my profile I'm plus size, yet I've had a couple of men saying after a number of messages sorry thought you meant size 16. So in your view what size is plus size? " I think your profile is clear. Sometimes people put curvy when it really means they are plus size too. BBW starts at about a size 16 I'd say. | |||

"A quick Google told me 12-14 is large so I guess 16 would be plus sized " Surely 12-14 isn't large....I often wear size 12 and I m really not large... large for a woman I guess is size 20 upwards...although that all depends on height etc anyway | |||

"Plus size is as ambiguous as curvy." It's not, plus size is pretty clear. I'd know that that would be a big woman. It's when they put curvy but they're not just curvy. | |||

"A quick Google told me 12-14 is large so I guess 16 would be plus sized " The mind boggles I’m a size 12 - the average size is a 16 I’d say anything from a size 18 upwards would be classed as plus sized, however given that woman are rarely the same sized clothing from one shop to another I think sizing is irrelevant - it’s all about how a woman carries herself and dressing for your shape xx | |||

"I would say that 'plus size' is still rather ambiguous - just like all the other definitions on here such as 'average' or 'curvy' Wouldn't it just clear a lot of confusion up and remove any vagueness to just state your actual dress size instead? Or am I being too sensible?" A women never reveals such things!! And i doubt it would help if someone's idea of plus size differs from another | |||

"At the risk of derailing the thread and apologies in advance OP but I can't quite work out which box to tick for myself in terms of whether I'm slim, athletic or average. One person's average is another person's athletic or even slim. I suppose my rambling point is that there's an element of subjectivity in the descriptions we use on here and so we perhaps shouldn't worry so much which "box" we fit in so to speak. " Yep. The site relies on people to self define and give their own opinion on everything. Height, body shape, interests, sexuality.....and anything you write in profile text. When it comes to body size/shape its often easy to get confused. What is 'average'? Surely long distance runners and shot putters could be defined as 'athletic' yet will have vastly different shapes. Curvy can be size 8 as much as size 22. The simple solution? Post a full body photo and let others make their own mind up. Simples. A | |||

"Plus size is as ambiguous as curvy. 100 people will give you 100 different answers. If it helps at all OP, I'm very clear how big I am in my profile and have full-length photos on show yet still have guys message me and be surprised that I'm fat!" Maybe I need to be the same and explicitly clear. Equally body shapes need to be considered then. I may be a size 20 but my boobs are smaller than most expect. To be honest it's younger men who are more fixed on size | |||

It's kind of sad that people obsess over whether they are a size 12,16 or whatever. Be happy in your own skin and use a description that you feel happy with and don't worry about the interpretation of it by others. And I hope you find the people you want to connect with | |||

"If a guy is bothered about your size they ain't worthy to have fun with you. I told 1 guy on here I was big, he said that's OK he'd been with a girl who was heavy - he ain't worthy of her or me. " Oh I strongly disagree with this. It's preference or what aestheticly is appealing to draw attraction and what doesn't. I'm not turned on by bodies that show muscle in bone but it certainly does not make me unworthy | |||
