Hi I like to be open and honest and often describe myself as curvy.. however I'm wondering if BBW would be more appropriate. What size range does it generally start from x

Some size 12 women think they are fat, so there's not a hard and fast rule about what it means.

There are generalisations but lots of different ones.

Seriously now, there is not a fixed size. Put what you are comfy with. Others will make their own minds up from your pics

18 plus I would say but it depends if you are tall . If you are smaller in height maybe a size less. Anyway i don't think it matters .

I think curvy is right for you, and to me applies to any women who has proper curves regardless of dress size.

It depends a lot on body type and height.

Some size 20 ladies look great, others look obviously overweight at a size 14...

At the end of the day go with what you feel best fits you.

There have been a few posts on this subject recently. I am size 18-20 and tbh when I have stood next to bbw's I do not feel like one. We need something inbetween or just an option to put down dress size on your profile.

Shame though as we are all so different size should not matter so much.

I'd say size 16+ depending how you carry it.

However, Are you beautiful?

Personally speaking I hate the term and prefer curvy ... it's just that big doesn't make you beautiful by default, which seems to be the standard nowadays.

Not saying you're not beautiful, but I can't see your face so it's hard to say

Anyway, use it if you like, I'm just some random on the internet.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say.

I would not claim it therefore bbw would be a misnoma but bw... Well yes.

I'd never use that term. I'm a lardy arse but I'd never call myself a BBW.

But then I generally don't give a shit about putting labels on myself so I don't need to decide what size fits unless I'm trying on clothes.

Looking at your pics I would say 'curvy' suits your frame.

For me the term BBW conjures up a picture of very large, pretty women with a lot of wobbly bits.

Tbh tho put what you like & feel comfortable with. I've put myself as 'average' and not one person has ever questioned it.

I think this problem crops up with all different sizes. I'm 5'6" and generally a size 10 bottom. I never know what to put.....I have plenty of wobbly bits and don't see myself as slim or athletic. I put curvy and then get messages debating this. Perhaps 'average' is a better description but isn't the average British woman a size 16?

I think it comes down to two things- how the person sees themselves and how the person viewing them sees them but ultimately most ladies think they are bigger and less sexy than they actually are.

So I might view a say a size 20 lady and think wow what a sexy lady while she might think she is fat. And to the contrary I might look at s size 14 lady and think she is bigger than she think she is.

Try not to over think it and have fun is my advice!

Would it be better if we could actually put our own descriptions rather than ticking a box.

What you call yourself could sometimes give an indication of your mind set and attitude.

It might probably vary from region to region.

You could be a skinny bones, a fat lass, big n bouncy........whatever...go with the flow and what you feel comfortable with in your own head.

Well i'm not being funny but size 24 is large. If you consider that the average dress size for a woman in the UK is a 16, you are 4 sizes larger than that, and a lot of people probably consider a size 16 large.

I'm a size 18-20 and consider myself large, and i've come down from a size 24 myself. When I get to my target of a size 16 i'll still consider myself large!

As for BBW...if you don't have both Bs it doesn't work. Big doesn't equal beautiful IMO.

don't think it is purely about size.....but a bbw woman is probably carring a fair bit more weight...a curvy girl just a few pounds extra. I'd say you are just curvy.....very nicely curvy at that. ...x
