I am a physically fit, health conscious guy and I only find chubby/curvy women attractive

[Anonymous]

OP, probably you are like most normal men in other parts of the country...having a healthy wife who doesn't take diet pills, exercise to the extreme or have an eating disorder is appealing to you.
btw where are the pregnant women around here? Are they required to hide until after they give birth and are thin enough?

Since when is size 8 chubby??

Since vanity sizing became rampant?

The only slender women who wear a size 8 these days are about 5'9-10" or taller.

+1000 Yup, you have more to choose from since 70+% of women in the USA are either overweight or obese. Go get'em.

Traditionally, curvy & chubby have not meant the same thing & neither has meant obese (or even overweight, really).

In the past, "curvy" meant a build that generally included a small waist & comparatively larger hip & breasts but that is still well within a normal/healthy weight range.Curvy was more about how the woman carries her weight than it was about her carrying any extra weight. Marilyn Monroe, for instance, was often described as "curvy" &, iirc, her usual weight would have put her bmi somewhere near the lower end of the healthy range.

People who would have traditionally been described as chubby carried some extra weight but not much. They were still nowhere near obese -- many weren't even truly in the "overweight" category, just at the higher end of the healthy/normal category.

I guess things have changed, though, & nowadays curvy & chubby are synonymous & both mean overweight?

Another form of vanity sizing. People who are overweight or even obese want to think of themselves as merely “curvy” or slightly “chubby”.

I'm 5'10" and wear a size 8 -10 and could definitely lose a few pounds but I wouldn't consider that chubby.

The short vs tall thread kind of triggered my thoughts about other ways where opposites attract.

We humans are interesting animals.

Anybody relate?

Please, come take my wife!

Nope.

As you very well state, curvy and chubby are very different things.

But don't tell that to the latter

I think curvy, chubby, and obese are all different things.

Google Image: "Curvy Women" and "Chubby Women".

Very similar pictures appear.

lol to whatever woman said it was 'bullying' to prefer thin women. I presume she has no problem dating men that are 5'5".

Oh wait...

Chubby chasing is a thing

Most people probably wouldn't consider you to be chubby, either, but most women who wear a size 8 are not 5'10".

Your dad sounds like an asshole

Well 0-2 is pretty much anorexic with zero chest unless she got implants....so he's right.

You poor fatty has an unfortunate warped sense of reality.

Anyone smaller than you are too skinny. Size 0-2 cloyhes in today's stores are 4-6 in the past.

I worked in the fashion and I can tell you that Size 8 to 10, 5'10" isn't chubby at all. A woman who is truly 5'10" in bare feet is very tall, 98th percentile in the US and Size 8 or 10 would be fit and well-proportioned. We have a warped perception of what a 5'10" woman should wear because the only 5'10"women whose clothing sizes we see published, etc. are generally models, who are very underweight especially in-person.
