"There just seems to be no consistency in the use of terms 'curvy', 'ample' and 'fabulous' on women's profiles. It's not helped by the lack of clear body photos. Now whilst I'm not necessarily looking for stick thin (and many voluptuous - another undefined term - women are very sexy) anything too big just doesn't do it for me. I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time by misinterpreting their description of themselves so why aren't women clearer? " Because people have to pick from a limited range of size options on here. All of which are vague and open to interpretation. I am curvy. I am also podgy. To some I am large. Statistically speaking I am average. So I would say look at the pictures and make your own mind up. If people don't have enough pictures for you to decide on then move on. You might miss a corker but you'll avoid those who may not suit your preferences in the process. | |||

" It's how people perceive themselves i guess... i would class myself as big or ample or as the terminology says bbw.. but the men I have met have refused to accept my discription of myself saying I am not as big as I think I am. If a person is more attracted to size 8-10 then they will find a woman who is a size 12 a big podgy...14-16 big.. and the 18+ size ladies huge... it's all how we each perceive each other and what piques our interest in that other person i guess. | |||

"Body options are limited & subjective to ones own interpretations." Exactly this A better choice of body options would help for men and women. | |||

"Anything too big? We may be fatties but we're sure not things!" Totally agree. | |||

"If you're terrified at the prospect of accidentally meeting someone fat, then I'd suggest avoiding profiles which don't have clear body photos. It really is that easy. There's no consistency because the terms available are subjective, and it's impossible to shoehorn the wide variety of body shapes and sizes out there in the world into six definitive categories." I'm not terrified of meeting anyone I just don't want to waste her time as much as my own. Surely it's as much in the lady's interest to ensure clarity. You have plenty of body shots and your figure is . It's not all about physique but there's a cut off, as there is for everyone. I'm sure my physique is not to everyone's taste but at least they can see what they are getting.... | |||

Just put 'no fatties' or 'no-one over size 12' on the first line of your profile and then you won't waste anyone's time by chatting up women who do not fit your preferences! As Ruby says if they don't have clear enough body pics for you to be sure, move on, YOU take responsibility for your choices! | |||

Xx" Yes an in answer to the what aren't they clearer question The simple answer is because it's their profile and the can present themselves on it how they wish As others have said to the OP (and sane would applt to other people that take issue with how others run their profiles when they aren't to their taste) just avoid those profiles | |||

It's a reasonable suggestion, which I'll consider, although I won't be using the term 'fatties'. However it's somewhat subsidiary to the original issue. I don't really understand your last line, as it's clear thats what I'm TRYING to do... | |||

But the man claims to have some intelligence and the answer is obvious - in most cases it is because women are not comfortable publicly displaying what they are not showing ! Duh! Move on if they aren't clearly showing what you need to see and approve! Ruby is by her own claims a big girl, and yet the op finds her hot (cos she is of course) and yet I am damn sure he might find someone else of her size, who was not hot, unattractive. As far as I can see his attraction is therefore entirely as subjective as the women he berates and he should put up or shut up!! I don't normally comment on these threads as I have no ace to grind but on this one the hypocrisy really irritated me. | |||

If YOU cannot see what YOU need to see - move on. Loads of men do not have clear pics - and most who claim athletic are either overweight or so unfit they could not swim a length! I just avoid them and choose what I DO want, what I CAN see that I like. | |||

Nope, that is never my style as all those who know me here will testify, so you are misinterpreting. My comment was authentic - I am rarely irritated by an attitude, but you managed it, so maybe some self reflection is in order at your end. | |||

"Weird not many men have posted on this post? As a chick that has been slim..average ...curvy I agree with the OP.. Great if folk have clear pics that you can see size and body shape..but most larger women are not comfortable showing theres on pics...as I am not...all chicks have body issues no matter what size...but...there are pics that are done in the weird angles or have loads of filters on them making it extremely difficult to see what's what...and I'm sure the OP dosnt want to cause offence but chatting to a chick then finding out does larger than he thought? Ps...guys do it too Its all about preference " Absolutely. Some guys like big girls. Thank God we don't all like the same. I also agree that women are perfectly entitled to run their profiles ANYWAY they want. However it can't be in anyone's interest for people to meet and then be surprised that either party's physique is not what they were expecting (not that it all comes down to that). That's all lol... | |||

Exactly, nor cock size for instance - men are often obtuse if not downright deceptive about that. That is why I am clear on my profile that I will not tolerate deception, and always make sure I am clear myself. And yet aside from that it is still MY responsibility make sure someone fulfills my criteria before agreeing to meet them. I prefer men to have clear normal perspective cock shots on their public profile therefore, it's so embarrassing to reject someone for being unsuitable later, so if they refuse to clarify or try to palm me off with 'I've never had any complaints', then I will simply thank them and move on. | |||

So then don't meet anyone where there's ambiguity....I've never looked at the way someone describes their body...i go by what i can see. I've never met someone and thought "bloody hell i wasn't expecting that! "....i don't understand why this is even an issue. | |||

" I like curvy ladies, but I can see why you'd run into a big problem (pun intended) when meeting people or figuring out who to message. You could try to ask for photo's (fully clothed!), ask them their dress size or maybe their BMI. Maybe you could explain that you like the slimmer lady, there's nothing wrong in that. | |||

"I see it as being a little counterproductive to downplay your size.
