Are 'curvy' women really just fat?

    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.

    All the negative comments are from the fatties.

    Sooooooo you come here often?

    Curvy women can be sexy.

    Women who calls themselves curvy tend to be fat though.

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

    I'm er...... Curvy, a, curvy bloke.

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

    Ya often but those curvy fat people could be skinny now.

    Or people that did not see the humour, don't think she was serious tbf.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 790 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


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

    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.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    This is curvy

    This is fat

    Irish women seem to get them confused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,442 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    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. .

    Would you say Beyonce is fat??? No!!!! She is curvy and she is hotter than most skinny women. So there.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes are curvy women.

    But they're not fat.

    So no, curvy women are not automatically fat.
