It is completely different between men and women. You can call us guys fat, big, husky or basically anything and it wont really bother us. You call a woman any of that then you have a big problem. You can only use terms like curvy, full figured, fluffy. Hmmmm its a self conscience thing |

No fucking wonder with the way you describe females elsewhere in this forum. |

"Nothing worse than a man describing himself as curvy 
Sounds sexist to me.
How does it? It certainly isn't a masculine term is it? "
It has no gender. The English language does not confer gender on words like French or German.
It has been used to describe females more than males, my post acknowledges this and questions it as it seems absurd given that many men have curves. |

If men want to describe themselves as that, then they can I'm just saying it's not a word I would associate with men that is all.
Same as I don't find men in panties and stockings sexy, does that make me sexist as well? |

This is actually a good question. I've never heard a man complain about being called fat. Perhaps they just accept that's what they are and don't feel the need to find another word? |

No, because on one hand you were suggesting that a term was not for use by men as it was purely for women. You didn't say that it was your preference, your words meant that the term itself should not be used. That was sexist.
Saying that you have a preference sexually for men not to wear certain garments is a totally different matter and is a matter of personal taste, you are not suggesting that men should not dress in that way, you are simply saying they are not liable to attract you. Fair comment. |

Come on if i guy ever said he was curvy then it's a good chance he's slightly overweight! If a women is curvy then she had shape which usually means she has bigger breasts, smaller waist and a ass that moves ( all great in my book ) there is no such thing as a curvy man ! |

There are plenty of women who don't object to being called fat either, if it's being used as an accurate description. If "a bit fat/chubby/plump/porky" was available on here I'd use that instead of curvy.
But I DO object to fat as an insult. I.e. fat lazy slag, etc. etc.
Fat isn't a bad word, it's the motivation behind how it's used. |
