"People are gonna have different interpretations on what's curvy What I might find curvy, you might find fat vice versa" I love curves but someone will think a woman I like is overweight. I think people are very honest about their appearance here. | |||

" I think people are very honest about their appearance here. do you really? " Most people, yes. As far as everyone else goes, they're either not giving themselves enough credit or looking at themselves through a circus mirror. But I think most are honest because the truth will come out on meeting so why lie? | |||

"Some say the female body has curves some say slightly overweight! Just wondered your take on it!?" I think of someone as curvy if they have a well defined waist. There are a lot of thinner women who are also curvy. I consider myself curvy but i am also overweight. I like the sound of curvy better lol | |||

If you agree with them, then you're attracted them. If you don't agree, the you move on. Of course, sometimes, it will be painfully obvious what type they are but then other times it could go either way. A lot of it is related to self-esteem too. Sometimes, when you're told negative comments about yourself, you start to believe it. | |||

"I decided on curvy rather than ample but I have my size on my profile and no one has complained - so far " me too... it all baffles me so I just state my size clearly and make sure full pics are shown before we meet. I have had the humiliation of rejection on first sight from a dating site and so I always make it as clear as possible | |||

"Anything over a size 18 I think is fat as opposed to curvy and a size 18 is generous, really it should be 16 but hey... If you don't have a smaller waist to hips or ass ratio than you're also losing the curvy status and dippin' into the fat status! " | |||

"I class myself as curvy, im not straight up and down, nor am I fat, im a proper woman with tits and a waist x" I'm sorry but every woman has tits and a waist and is therefore, according to your definition, a 'proper woman'. I suspect though that you mean because you go in and out in 'the right places', you're more of a woman than those who don't. To set the record straight, the proportions of another woman's tits and waist doesn't render her any less of a woman than you. | |||

"Here's what the dictionary (the one I refer to anyway...) says:Curvy:- Shapely or Voluptuous. So... Shapely:- Having and attractive or well-proportioned shape. Voluptuous:- Curvaceous and sexually attractive. Curvaceous:- Having an attractively curved shape. Don't see the word 'Fat' in there....?? ted." curvy isn't fat but the question was what does curvy mean on here and lets be honest most fat women choose to class themselves as curvy if your nipples point to the floor, you have a over hang on your belly and rolls in your back, im sorry your not curvy your fat | |||

"Whether you're 5ft or 6ft is neither here nor there. If you are of a dress size 18 you are most likely going to be considered fat irregardless of height. Don't know why the F word bothers women on here so much... There are sooo many fat women I find attractive even though I prefer the slimmer lady and so many slim women that I don't find attractive. At the end of the day it's you that counts and those that find you attractive. Deluding yourself by calling yourself curvy doesn't change anything 'cause deep down we all know what we are." true but in reality fat is a harsh word, I have no problems saying im fat but you say it on here and you come over as a fat bord with a chip on her shoulder, people used to mail me telling me not to be so hard on myself etc so I changed my profile and took the word fat off and put voluptuous instead which people do find more accepting, if you put your fat people tell you your not, if you put curvy when you fat people say your not you cant win sometimes lol | |||

But I don't get my knickers in a knot over those who do. If someone wants to meet a woman who has 'curvy' on her profile and no clear, full length photo then surely all they need to do is ask for one and then make up their mind on whether they're interested? Hardly rocket science. I don't like the term 'fat' though (even though it's accurate) as it has developed an extremely negative connotation especially as it's often tagged with an equally negative adjective (fat ugly, fat lazy etc). I just say I'm overweight generally. On here, if we're doing private meets I give my dress size and there is a full length photo of me on our profile. I'm not out to embarrass myself by deceiving people. It's not a problem in clubs because people can see what size I am. | |||

I'm using it on here as a point of reference. Babe you have the right attitude and its women like you that I find attractive 'cause you won't have too much of an issue with your body so will probably emit more sexiness | |||

Of course it is better to be honest and upfront about yourself, I know I am fat, you can clearly see I am on my profile pictures, but these threads do nothing but make people feel worse about themselves. Always notice how they are usually started by men as well | |||

"As I always say ALL woman have curves, it is called boobs, bum and waist! The degree of curviness alters on each individual. I could describe myself as curvy, slim or athletic. It is far better to make your own mind up judging by pictures and then going on to meet someone. " Not to mention hips! I swear people who ask this question need to go to specsavers | |||

"These threads are only a blue touch paper if people bite......and some just come in like a moth to a flame and then wonder why they get burnt" Fair point.

I'm not slim but nor am I fat, size 14 with an hourglass shape...therefore I (along with most people who know me) describe myself as curvy. Marilyn Monroe, Kelly Brook, JLo, Beyonce, Nigella Lawson & Holly Willoughby are ladies I'd class as curvaceous, not overweight. | |||

Some people here listen to others waaaaay too much. As a consequence, they change their body type to appeal to the masses, which is a losing battle due to people's preferences being so random. Also, when a person lacks confidence, that itself is not attractive. So you've shot yourself in the foot before bodies are considered. So the next time someone says "that's not your body type." Just tell them to jog on. You didn't ask them! | |||

"Curvy to me is flat in the right places and nice bum and boobs. There are an awful lot of ladies on here that state they are curvy but are indeed just fat. Not that being fat is a bad thing as some find that more attractive than slim women. Think fab should maybe put a lot more categories in for both men and women " | |||
