What is curvy?

Pigman II · 22-10-2005 1:06pm

I'd sooner do Charlotte Church than any of those 5 tbh.

Supermodels are like blockbuster movies.... just because media browbeat you into believing they are best things going & the paragons of the form , it doesn't neccessarily make it true.

DAEDULUS · 22-10-2005 1:15pm

still hot though,unlike that moonpig..

charlotte church is the hot woman for the desperate man

Seraphina · 22-10-2005 2:02pm

you think the rugby player she's dating is desperate? i wouldn't say so, i'd say he could get any skinny-ass breakable models he wanted.

he seems to have more sense than you though :rolleyes:

Yeah, tbh, there's no need to be so nasty about people whose appearance you don't like (although Charlotte Church isn't a boards member afaik)!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!!!

DAEDULUS that is you're opinion, not the universal male opinion. In that picture the only one with a decent figure is Tyra banks, she has good muscle tone, but is still a bit too skinny as far as i'm concerned. The other 4 look emaciated. I don't care what the fashio industry deems is the "in" figure, I prefer women to have a healthy layer of baby fat and no ribs showing.

That's weird cos I've always reckoned that supermodels are the 'desire' of latent homosexual men who are over-compensating because they can't honestly tell one womans level of attractiveness from the next.

Certainly would explain all those George Michael videos if nothing else.

LMAO

Personally I think 4 of the 5 models in that attached pic above are hot.

Yesterday as I was sitting in the cantine in work reading an article in 'New Woman' magazine about Gail Porter, this thread came to mind.
The article was talking about how Gail went from "skinny" to "curvy" and how she is "happier than ever".
I now get how the male and female opinion of what "curvy" is differs.
IMO she has gone from slim/toned with gentle curves to fat but according to a magazine written by women she is now "curvy" and before was "skinny", whereas from a male perspective she was has just let go of herself.
Obviously these magazines are what is shaping womens minds on what "skinny", "curvy" etc are, and really should not be taken as the truth. It seems to be written to make fat women feel better about themselves. Now women who have a shape like the new Gail Porter will be going around thinking they're "curvy" and thinking it's ok or even worse..."sexy".

Delighted to see this thread come full circle

going by a lot of the opinions of the guys on this thread, I'd be deemed "fat". This is something I've NEVER been called by anyone. WTF is wrong with you people?

ferdi · 24-10-2005 9:10pm

The only people who's opinion should matter to you are your own and your boyfriend, not strangers who think all women should have the figure of supermodels.

I have to agree with you, some of the comments on this topic have been completely absurd

dundalk cailin · 24-10-2005 11:31pm

goes to show the differences in opinion, that pic of charlotte church posted by endurance man, think she looks fab, fair play to her.. though i think she has crumbled under media pressure to loose weight, i think she looks great, and is a good role model to young girls

Blondie86Star · 24-10-2005 11:33pm

It took me a lot of hard work to get to where I am today (a size 8), after dropping from a 12/14. But i was NEVER called fat or even considered myself fat when I was that size. I was a healthy weight for my height, but I was in hospital for a while a couple of years back and lost a fair bit of wieight. When I got out I started taking care of myself, exercising, eating healthily etc and I came to a weight that I am now very happy with. Although I sometimes would like to have some extra meat on my bones, dunno why, just to feel more feminine:o

Sh'es the perfect body I think... real womanly shape.

When I lost the weigh, my boobs disappeared:(

dundalk cailin · 24-10-2005 11:39pm

aw! thats often what people say tho when they lose weight, cant have the best of both worlds! well im a 12 on top, and 14 on bottom, id like to be an all over 12, just lazy i guess, but im smaller than i was when i 14 or so. but iv friends who are bigger than me (16-18) and smaller (8-10) i dont usually get complaints, but id like to lose weight as a confidence thing

I think that as you get older you feel good in your own skin, and it really shows. I don't think guys know how much comments about figures affect girls, anything can trigger something. I think as long as your happy it shouldnt matter what others say. sometimes people call me skinny, which is just as bad as being called fat

Nightwish · 24-10-2005 11:47pm

Curvy should mean that you're not a stick insect with the body of a prepubescent boy a-la many models strutting the catwalks.
Curves mean that your not the same all over. I'm an 8 on top and a 10 around my waist so I think I'm curvy. But for me weight isnt anything I lose sleep over, as I'm a complete pig when it comes to food and a total couch potato. I digress, Charlotte Church's figure in that pic looks a lot like my figure and I'm just appalled that anyone could deem that fat. I think some of the stuff said here could really insult people if they were sensitive about their weight.

CathyMoran · 24-10-2005 11:58pm

I went down from a 10-12 (healthy for my height) to a size 8-10, though luckily I kept most of my chest, they were getting too big in any case. I would consider myself to be more defined at this weight even though I was perfectly happy 14 lb heavier. My dad is saying that I need to put on some weight though. I just wish that I had a smaller posterior but no amount of exercise or dieting seems to do that for me.
