Anonymous wrote:Curvy does not mean overweight or obese. It refers to a woman with a certain type of body proportions- the waist is smaller than the bust and hips by 8 inches or more. So a thin woman can be curvy if her body has these proportions.

For example, Marilyn Monroe (35" bust/22" waist/35" hips) was a curvy woman because her waist was 13" smaller than her bust and hips. She was 5'5" and 120 lbs so not overweight or obese. She was statistically average for a woman of her height and build. She was only a size 12 by 1950 standards. By modern standards, she would be a size 4, maybe 6 at most.

Marilyn Monroe was not a skinny woman. Sophia Loren was not a skinny woman. Audrey Hepburn was skinny, and not really a "sex symbol" among men, more a fashion icon for women. She was "waif-like."

Today, sometimes these discussions become racial, where white women are seen as being universally thin, and the women of color are seen as having curvier shapes. That's not really true.

This is very true. Gay men love Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, etc.

Straight men like Kate Upton, JLo, etc.

Extremely thin women are usually also younger women, like high school and college and early twenties. When I was younger, I had such a difficult time gaining weight. Once I turned 25, I then "filled out" and more womanly curves.

Biologically, it's probably a good thing that men are attracted to women with curves. Usually women with curves are older women, at least not typically teenage girls.

Annnnd here come the veiled accusations of pedophilia for any man that prefers skinny women over fat women. It's the same thread progression on every board across the internet.

It isn't a veiled accusation of pedophilia. Your skinny woman, if also a young woman under the age of 25, probably will find it very challenging to STAY that skinny as she gets older. Not only that, but do see women over the age of 70 as healthy if they are skinny compared to women that age who are chubby? No, elderly women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who are skinny are usually considered "frail" and unhealthy.

Like I said, same progression every time it surfaces. Now theyre either pedophiles or into "old, frail" grandmas. lol

You may not like it (obviously) but any guy who is actually a grown man who is turned on by thin, flat boyish looking females is turned on either by young girl bodies or young boy bodies, call it whatever you want.

There it is! The third part of the trinity! Accusations of homosexuality!

Does it bother you that men don't look at you?

I'm pretty sure you were hovering over this thread waiting for it, right? Hmmm, wonder why!

Umm, because it's predictable
