Am I the only woman who likes being curvy?

[Anonymous]

I actually like my curvy womanly body. I look hot in a wrap dress and heels and I like that I am not rail thin!

[Anonymous]

Me too! As someone who used to be rail thin, I like my current size (although not my squishy mom belly) so much better. Plus, I don't have people constantly shaming me for being too thin.

Nope. I love my body. So does my DH. I used to be a stick and was teased about that - but I learned to love myself that way too. And now I'm thankful for the curves that age and a child gave me. I really do look better in everything now. Before things just did not sit right and I would have to create an illusion of a body.

And when the time comes one day, I will be thankful for the grays and lines and whatever else comes with a healthy aging woman. It's all a part of the process.

I like it. Fiancé loves it.

The thinner the better unless you are less than a size zero.
I hate being curvy. It is not what people aspire to.

My dh loooves my curves. I'm not fat btw, just a size 2 petite but I love my hips and my boobs. I was a rail thin teen so I'm really enjoying having filled out.

I don't. Even when I was a size 8, people would comment how hot I would look if I just lost some weight. It wasn't my weight, it was my hips.

You clearly have no understanding of the vast amounts of research regarding preferred waist hip ratios (hint: if you want to appeal to men, you should have some curve)

This post is simply to brag on yourself and make fun of women that are not like you. Are thin women not womanly now?

"Am I the only woman who likes being curvy?" Really? In case you haven't noticed- curves have always been considered attractive. Hence the reason plastic surgeons make a $$$$ with boob jobs and now butt jobs as well. The reason Victoria's Secret's and Playboy's popularity. The reason there is a restaurant named "Hooters".

Your post is ridiculous.

I dunno -- is "curvy" actually a euphemism for "fat, jiggly, round butt" and "soft, jiggly stomach with a pooch" and "boobs that bounce up and down when I walk and swing side to side if I'm not wearing a bra" ?? But with a narrow waist?

because if so, then no, I don't like being "curvy," aka, "fat". I don't wish to look like an 11 yr old Vietnamese boy, either. Just a nipped waist and a muscular, slightly rounded butt is good.

I find that 90% of the time when women use the word "curvy" what they're really describing is "fat."

I don't think the OP was trying to be hostile. But you clearly are.

+1 I do agree that curvy has been appropriated by the body positive people as a euphemism for big.
Curvy to me is having an hourglass figure, because of your bone structure, not because when women become overweight it tends to settle primarily in the breasts and hips.

Curvy vs. Skinny

I'm a Dove girl. My husband says I'm soft and he likes the skin on my inner thighs.

I have curves but I'm smaller than what you guys seems to define as curvy. I'm a petite hourglass shape, and I love feeling strong and soft at the same time.
