ORIGINAL: daddysprop247 this might be slightly off topic, but i've always wondered, why are overweight, even significantly overweight, women often referred to, and refer to themselves, as curvy?? fat does not equal curves. i know of a great many overweight women who possess not a single curve...zero hips, no discernible waist, butt as flat as a board. in fact, i can think of many more thin or slender women who are curvy. so where did the overweight=curvy thing come from?? Have you seen a large woman naked? We are curvy. *points at her breasts* It's a curve. *points at her hips* They curve. *points at her stomach* It curves out but yes it does curve. actually, yes, i have seen a great many larger women nude. and a great many have NOT been curvy, tho of course some are, i suspect those women would be curvy regardless of their weight. fat does not = curves, just as slender does not = lack of curves, that's all i'm saying. my mother was short, about 5 feet, and i would guess she weighed 250. "fat" if you will. her large breasts and portruding stomach did not make curves, rather they just added some lumps to her otherwise rectangular form. not to mention her butt, which defied all logic in its supreme flatness. how, exactly, is that curvy? now, i can think of some larger women who i'd define as curvy...many plus sized fashion models are curvy, for example, because being proportionate is important in that industry, regardless of one's size. and that's what curvy is about anyway...a proportionate, feminine silhouette?? if a protruding stomach is all it takes to define onself as "curvy" then the many men out there with huge beer guts also qualify, right?
