How curvy is curvy? I'm down as athletic but I guess there's a big difference between Mo Farah and Dwayne the rock Johnson. Where does someone with some curves become a bbw?
I'm not getting at anyone or judging before we start, just wondering. |

My description describes me as curvy depending on whether my curves go in and out ....... if they go out and out then I'm changing my description to BBW!  |

As your a male, why would you care whether you should call yourself curvy or a bbw as this is used for women?

I put ample because I'm think I'm too fat to be classified as curvy, esp looking at how much thinner than me some of the women who describe themselves as "curvy" are.
But then, I don't subscribe to the fat=bad paradigm.
Society has made it that being called fat is an insult, and I think that's bs. Lol.
I'm fat, I describe myself as being fat, and it's literally just a body type.
When people tell me "you're not fat!" like I've just put myself down, and I'm like, "no... I am, and that's totally fine." lol |

I'm kind of BBW shaped, am size 12-14 (which sounds slim) but on a 5ft 1 frame is similar to BBW but my stomach goes flat when i lie down. Fuck knows what's what, my pics show what i look like and i put fabulous for my shape. |

Curvy isn't a size it's a shape. But on here, the hierarchical size order of the options implies a size, which isn't really helpful. A size 8 can be a curvy shape or a size 18. In my view it's about having a small waist and an hourglass figure.
So I've just gone fuck it, and went with fabulous. |

I'm a fat git, so wrote my profile to match.
Backfired when my first ever meet off this site imploded when we didn't recognise each other, as she was looking for someone very much larger.
I've changed it since, still waiting for trading standards to knock on my door for offences under trade descriptions act.
So, OP, you will see I am no use in answering your question whatsoever.... |

I put average because of this. Curvy is a shape and when I lost weight my arse disappeared and so did the curvy description for me. I would so much rather be curvy than average! |

I don't describe myself as either and I know they refer to women. I love curves on a woman, but everyone has a different opinion on how curvy curvy is lol.

Who cares? As has previously been said, there are more important aspects to a person than just body shape. Have had many different partners but the one thing they had in common was that I found them attractive as a person, regardless of their shape.  |

I put curvy, a meet I had told me that was misleading and should have put 'large'
Outwardly, I laughed and walked off.
Inside I was devestated.
I hate this describing yourself, how I see me is not how others see me, and their opinion is different to the next persons, so what are we supposed to put?!

To me when your curves turn into rolls your fat
I see curvy as slim with shape
If you have a over hang on your belly, crease's in your back and your nipples point to the floor that's going past curvy
That's only my opinion of course |

I'm podgy but there isn't an option for that so I went with curvy. I go in at the waist, anyway even if I am more double bass than 'cello shaped. Plus I've always thought BBW means big as in tall as well as wide and beautiful and I am a shortarse who scrubs up OK but wouldn't class myself as beautiful. Fabulous sounds sassy and I'm not that sassy. Ample I hate since it sounds like a synonym for sufficient and that doesn't really mean anything. |

Shit. I am way past curvy then. And I've done so well to get there, I thought. |

Curvy = inny and outy.
I think i resemble that so i picked curvy. You only have to look at the pics though. The description is irrelevant as I've never been attracted to a descriptive word before |

Agree, average is correlated to normal, which is correlated to the society standard |

How people describe themselves is down to them. If a fat person thinks they're curvy, athletic, good looking: go them!
If I don't like their picture, no chemistry on a social leave them with their dignity in tact and move on.
Too many people without lives picking over other people's business. |

When we set up the account the descriptions went from slim all the way through to fabulous - I am a chubster so I chose fabulous figuring it was the bigger option.....I have curves and a waist but I also have rolls - I have loads of pics of me bare ass naked so you can decide for yourself |

Curvy has been hijacked by the overweight. Bardot and Monroe were very curvy but certainly not overweight - they went in and out in just the right places. Also isn't it rather immodest to describe yourself as a BBW - some big girls are certainly beautiful (and curvy in the real sense), but don't people feel uneasy when describing themselves as beautiful. Surely beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
I am not curvy in either sense of the word and I prefer people to decide whether they like my body by looking at my photographs rather than by some vague description - though I do admit I do prefer "slim" to the derogatory "skinny".

"Hijacked"? Or perhaps there are people who do believe overweight can be curvy. Denise Bidot, Denise Mercedes, Ashley Graham, Sophie Dahl pre-weight loss.
Women of whatever size with hourglass figures and the corresponding waist to hip ratios are what I consider curvy, not thin women with tits bolted on which is where I think the hijacking of the term sits. |

I hate the term bbw and never use it.
I do find it a bit annoying though that there are so many threads about what is curvy and what is fat but none about what is skinny and what is slim.
And being slim does not make someone automatically beautiful, just as being big does not make someone automatically beautiful. |

I think it's possible to be curvy without having an hourglass figure...i describe myself as Curvy And have been described that way by others but i don't have an hourglass figure (god i wish!!) ....see the variations in interpretations? I'm not sure why some get hung up on this tbh. Not meaning you, Ruby, just in general. |

Of course there are different interpretations - yours is different to mine. But the word "hijacked" I was picking up on implies that all the others are wrong except theirs. |

Exactly. Big or small, fat or thin, curvy or straight, a face like a bag of spanners is a face like a bag of spanners.
Thank goodness for personalities and inner beauty. |

Everyone is different, there should be different size gradings for men and women, ample, curvy and bbw all sound really nice.
Men however should have rugby player, love handles and Beer belly options lol, I personally consider myself as having legs of a rugby player with love handles lol |

Because in the fab world it's seen as a size instead of a shape which appears to cause confusion.
I think if someone is 'slim / skinny' it's fairly obvious what size they are ~ 'curvy / fabulous' is more open to interpretation.
And I agree size has absolutely no bearing if a person is beautiful or not. |
