Since when is size 8 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.
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.

+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?
Nope.
As you very well state, curvy and chubby are very different things.
But don't tell that to the latter

The short vs tall thread kind of triggered my thoughts about other ways where opposites attract.
We humans are interesting animals.
Anybody relate?
