Are 'curvy' women really just fat?

lazygal

I hate references to 'real' women, invariably there's a picture of some chubby woman boasting about how she loves her 'curves', but she's really just fat. Is there some kind of collective delusion that allows men and women to say they are 'big boned' or the old 'I have a slow metabolism' rather than admit they are a fat tie?

I'm a lovely slim person, so I don't have these sort of delusions.

This should be entertaining for a friday night.

Indeed.

All the negative comments are from the fatties.

Curvy women can be sexy.

Women who calls themselves curvy tend to be fat though.

Indubitable

I thought what happened was that curvy people were not fat and some fat people liked to call themselves curvy?

Some women are curvy, some women are fat. Most fat women claim they are curvy

Two different things really. You can be curvy without being overweight. Boobs, bum, hips etc. all make curves.

Sciprio

A woman with curves in the right places is more attractive to me, than a skinny one who could probably puncture your lung if she gave you a hug.

Boombastic

They're just big boned or vertically challenged, maybe both

DEFTLEFTHAND

For example I'd classify Adele as being overweight, too much beef on the face, she'd be quite attractive if she lost about two stone.

Personally I like somebody who's at their optimum weight for their height, there's nothing attractive in my eyes about women who are severely underweight.

Is there not enough of those 'ugly women deluding themselves' type threads already?

You don't have to be fat to be a real woman, and you can be curvy without being fat, although it does seem to be a euphemism for being overweight.

You can also be thin and not be a skinny bitch, which is something I've been called and not expected to take offence at, although it is quite offensive.

eviltwin

Even when I was at my thinnest and underweight I had curves. I have big hips, a small waist and big boobs, your typical hourglass figure. You can't diet away bones. I'm never going to be Kate Moss nor would I want to be. I love my shape, I don't need to label myself a particular way to make myself feel better.

This is curvy

This is fat

Irish women seem to get them confused.

I don't mind "Curves". But I can't stand fat. I think when you need to book two airline seats, you should stop using the phrase curvy to describe yourself. .

I would not say that pic is curvy, she looks slim to me.

Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes are curvy women.

But they're not fat.

So no, curvy women are not automatically fat.

Fat yes but more accurately that's either morbidly obese, or super morbidly obese, depending on her weight.

Are 'curvy' women really just fat?

It all depends on how much i have had to drink because many years ago i was well on and tripping around a bit and only focused on two things bobbing in the moonlight.

When i went home with her she seemed nice and curvy and thought she was the real curvy deal, but that was until i woke up 2 hours later and thought i was in a water bed until i realized i was actually on top of her. Never again will i trust my drunken brain.

Second one looks obese (I don't mean "OMG SHE'S SO FAT" obese, I mean 30%+ body fat obese).

If she is fat, then i am an atmospheric weather balloon. Skinny more like - with some muscle she is.

Toni Minichiello, 45, who has coached the 2012 poster girl since the heptathlete was 11 years old, revealed that a "high‑ranking person" – he would not say exactly who – had suggested "that she's fat and she's got too much weight".

The fuck is wrong with people?

Any extra weight she carries is muscle and sexiness.

I like a bit of size on a girl. Some might be classed as curvy, some might be classed as fat. Doesn't matter it as long as I get a horn on

Thats the whole point. Curvy means slim, but with roundy-bendy shapes. You have just implied there that curvy equates to being heavier than "slim", ie fat. It doesn't.

greenman09

Kelly brook is curvy and is no way fat. She's the definition of hoootttt

Eh, I think your drunk or your boards.ie accounts has been jacked, or, just you know, you're an enormously horrible person:P

But the bold bit does kind of hit on something. You usually see it on Facebook, but some people post a picture of, say, Marylin Monroe and say "Real Woman have curves".

Like, it's meant to be saying that people don't like unhealthy dieting models or whatever, but it's a bit cruel:S

What about women that are naturally skinny, or like a slim athletic body, or have naturally broad shoulders, or a flat chest, or any type of body that doesn't fit into the "curvy" definition. It seems kind of strange to be saying "Hey, women stop losing weight, that's bad for you" and on the other saying "now here's another body image you'll have to compare yourself to".

On what could be classed as curvy, has to be Sofía Vergara

humbert

What bugs me is when "real women" is used to describe the slightly chubby, curvy is a fairly harmless euphemism.. Does exercising somehow cause you to be fake?

I gotta be honest, I'd sooner the beefy head of Adele than a horse like Sarah Jessica Parker!
