That's why I say we should call the "fit but meat on her bones" lady "curvy" and the fat ladies "lumpy".

Basically, what is YOUR definition of "Curvy"?

Agreed. I'll add Christina Hendricks to the list as well.

If a woman says she's curvy I automatically think she's probably about 10-15 lbs. overweight. It's usually a euphenism, like the term "she's not exactly pretty, but more of a handsome woman."
I immediately think of Barbara Bush. Not good.

i looked through this entire thread.

laotzumindfu posts the best photos.

i didn't read anything, by the way.

i'm contributing nothing.

When a woman online says "curvy", dating site.. online forum, immediately I think, "fat" or "overweight".. and possible an insecure woman that thinks she is overweight.

my definition of ideal curvy is pretty much the same as laotzumindfu. . . athletic / curvy. however, there are other types of curvy. . . moreso the 'less athletic' curvy... i.e., no muscle tone or definition but rather the hourglass figure.. but not overweight.
