To ask for you to defund 'curvy' to me?

[pizzaorpine]

I'm a bit baffled.

People say it's about body shape and not weight at all but I definitely lose my 'curves' if I become quite thin.

I'm a size 10/12 and I do have a very curvy figure. However, I don't look like that if I lose a stone or so. My curves aren't there, I just look skinny with no definition.

So if it's all about shape and not weight, why does that happen?

I'm not trying to case an argument braces self

Then I see people referring to clearly quite overweight people as curvy and I'm a bit baffled.

Ffs people only have to see the second post on the thread to see OP meant define. Not defend.

Just seen the spelling correction, I retract my comment and apologise.

I'd say curvy would indicate someone who is quite busty, likely has a larger butt and has wide hips but a fairly narrow waist.

That's what I picture in my head anyway.

But as someone who is overweight and who knows it, being called curvy seems complimentary when it shouldn't be really. Not to say I don't love compliments, only that it seems like it's saying being fat is good because it makes you curvier etc.

@Pipandmum 😂😂 I still don't know how that happened. I can't even remember pressing paste 🤣 I suprise myself, I really do.

To me it's not simply being overweight at all - though you could be fat and curvy, you could also be slim and curvy. You could be fat and shapeless though, which is not 'curvy'. It's a body shape with a slim waist and more defined bum/hips and bust.

I would say it’s having chest and hips clearly defined and significantly bigger than waist. It doesn’t really depend on weight, I have broad set pelvis/hipbones and wide rib cage meaning I could never be straight up and down, it gets to a certain point where only my waist can get smaller, as hips and chest have hit bone.

Curvy is mathematical.

To be curvy you need to have 10 inches less on your waist than your hips or your boobs.

If you have 10 inches more than your waist around both your boobs and your hips you are hourglass.

I've been unhealthily skinny before due to illness, but because of the natural shape of my body I still had reasonable boob - waist - bum ratio. Hour glass figure. I think that's what it means?

I'm not sure though, it's hard to define, I could be wrong.

Is it just me who doesn't understand the op? What's she actually asking?

Sorry, didn't rtft, a lot of people have said pretty much the same thing as me lol
