    No, it doesn't. I means some people equate curvy with busty, not necessarily with the booty as well.

    But work away with your erroneous 'translations'. I'm sure you know what I mean better than I do.

    I'm not even getting into this ****e haha. But she's right when she says some people class "curvy" as having a pair of tits!

    There's a lot of different "definitions" for the terms related to body's out there.

    If you can't accept that simple fact then there's no point in interacting anymore, is there?

    I'm sure some do.
    But on average in this poll, only 4 men and 4 women out of over 190, like a skinny/thin body.
    Times have changed, a lot.

    For the sake of discussion and truthfulness, I like *curves in general and a roundish, soft belly is very feminine IMO.

    However, you have a point- I would be less into someone with flab. There are some generously proportioned women that are maybe less shapely. That said, I stand over when I say I like curvy women. I would say that 90% of examples of 'curvy' women I would probably find attractive. I don't have any reason to believe that this doesn't represent pretty standard standpoint. From my observation, most women that are not obese underestimate how attractive their shape is to a very high proportion of guys.





    *I mean curvy to overweight- my attraction would probably wane from this point

    I get what your saying. The word "curvy" can describe a range of body types because some very overweight/obese women use it as a euphemism when describing themselves. That's not inaccurate, but I also describe myself as curvy even though I'm a size 8 and have a flat tummy and a lean waist. My curves are my E sized boobs and my gymnast butt. Proportionately, I'm actually quitecurvy, even if I'm on the thinner side.

    I think your last line is great and I hope women know that their are lots more guys out there than they think who genuinely appreciate their figures, even if they're not "model perfect." :)

    I bet if you where to go out tonight and ask people in pubs and clubs you get much more mixed response. Thin is still the majority of what people are into but ya its not as straight forward as it was. People are becoming bit more open.

    Forum anonymity allows honest answers about what you "like" without being judged.

    No, the story has not changed, and no, your 'translation' is not correct.

    As I said, you do not know what I mean better than I do. You can take that and accept it, or continue to insist I meant something else. If you do that, you'll just continue to be wrong.

    It's not about intelligence it's about just getting an honest open off the record answer which you won't always get in every day situations.

    Jesus, average is winning by a mile. Mediocrity is above muscle it seems.

    I'd probably vote average as I know the type of personality/lifestyle that it takes to achieve a muscular look. They're all well and good to look at but I don't want to spend my life working out dates, etc around their gym schedule.
    Then the endless conversations about protein shakes/juicing :rolleyes:

    Give me easy-going and average any day of the week.

    The thing is people will say average or whatever but will mean skinny or thin. They won't normally say average and mean fat or overweight or whatever.

    I think most people unless there not picky or are particularly into a type will think fat is a dirty word ha.

    The term curvy is an incredibly misused one. I think a lot of people look at a skinny tiny girl with a bit of an arse or big pair of tits for her body and think yep I love curvy women!

    Even if they have a big pair, it is still unattractive.

    I'm into bigger women I have been since was a teenager. My gf is size 18 but I wouldn't class her as massively overweight. Like I said it's all about body shape. Some women and even men can pull off many different weights. Some just have awkward looking body's genetically.

    But ya I'd probably find women attractive that you and most people would find "obese" which is why most people don't openly talk about having fetishs for those things.
    I know two lads just like you. They just don't find average sized, never mind thin women sexually attractive. They've always been like this. Headed straight for the fat lass. And these guys have choices(well had. Married now). These were not guys on their own ten minutes before the lights went up in the club. If they had wanted thinner women they could have gone out with thinner women, but heavier women was and remains their thing.

    If such attractions were set in the human animal then all men/women would be the same size across culture and time, but they vary quite a bit. Particularly women's size. While the hip waist ratio is remarkably constant an attraction point, the overall size of the ideal has changed.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    To be honest I've been with all kinds sizes in girls I mean I went with a girl years ago for long time who was slim it didn't bother me cause I found her very good looking anyway. It did cross my mind though that I wonder what she look like if she wasn't a size ten.

    The thing about admiting you prefer bigger men or women especially women is that people tend to automatically think your one of those weirdo ****ers who likes to fatten women up until there pretty much bed bound!

    That's what documentary s and such will tend to teach you though.....

    Ah stop. They are disgusting. They are a crime against humanity. The material of the Jersey is awful. The most unflattering top ever. A little bit of sick comes up.

    I once had the misfortune of getting a taxi through drumcondra a few weeks ago and there was a gaa match on.

    I know. I was being facetious. To my shame I wear them while cycling to work.

    That's a good question. I know a couple who are both really overweight and I often wonder if they like each other because they're both heavy...

    That said, I used to be really skinny and then I got interested in cooking, so as my boyfriend stayed the same weight, I got heavier! Maybe I should cut back on portion sizes. Or give him more.
