An O is less curvy than an S or a B. Do you call a NASCAR racetrack curvy? No! It's not curvy. But a winding mountain road, now THAT road is curvy.
A curve is one arc. For a shape to be curvy it has to have more than one arc or curve. A B has 2 curves and 3 sharp corners. An s has more curves and no sharp corners. An 0 has ONE curve. It's not curvy.
So out of those 3 letters, the S is the most curvy.
And women with an hourglass shape are more curvy than women who have an O shape or a bunch of lumps.
Hm well I am a overweight women and have SERIOUS curves. I have the "hourglass"shape that most men find attractive. Even when I lost some weight, my hips were still HUGE.
Here are a few curvy women that I posted in a thread a while back. I swear, I get at least two people everyday (non members) who give me rep points for this: //www.city-data.com/forum/7102346-post8.html

American beauty-don't ever lose that. That S shape literally stops men in their tracks. Matter of fact, I work with a women that has a great S shape. Her face is jacked up but I love watching her walk away. Sad part, she knows that I am looking so she shakes it more....garl!!!
Who died and made you ruler? If a man sees a thick woman with curves and wants to call her curvy, he can. There are plenty of curvy woman that are size 14 and 16 and look amazing. I would not put the word "thin" and "curvy" in the same sentence. Do you think those Victoria Secret Models are curvy? I don't. They use tricks to make themselves appear curvy. The woman voted sexiest woman alive is a size 14. She has curves. The sexiest woman to date is Marilyn Monroe and she was a 12. Get over yourself.
Sigh. Once more, poor Marilyn gets a bad rap. You need to do some research. Here you go:
According to measurements from Marilyn Monroe's dressmaker:
Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches
Weight: 118-140 pounds
Bust: 35-37 inches
Waist: 22-23 inches
Hips: 35-36 inches
Bra size: 36D
In other words, whatever her size, her figure was an unusually dramatic hour-glass, which makes it kind of strange for women to compare themselves to her anyway. When a collector displayed a bunch of her most famous costumes in London recently, "they had to get a special mold made for the corset and swimwear dummies in the exhibition because Monroe was such an extreme hourglass shape that no off-the-peg dummies existed in those measurements."
So, what size was she? Well, like most women, she wasn't one size everywhere. When British journalist Sara Buys had a chance to try on some of Marilyn's clothes earlier this year, she reported:
After all these years, mystery and conspiracy theories still surround her death, but when it comes to her physical attributes, I can put a few facts straight. Contrary to received wisdom, she was not a voluptuous size 16 – quite the opposite. While she was undeniably voluptuous – in possession of an ample bosom and a bottom that would look at home gyrating in a J-Lo video – for most of the early part of her career, she was a size 8 and even in her plumper stages, was no more than a 10. I can tell you this from experience because a few weeks ago, I tried to try on her clothes.
Okay, now we have to translate British sizes. (HuffPo, adding to the confusion, neglected to do this in their link headline from April.) Depending on the designer, a British 10 might translate as an 8, a 6, or even a 4. And vintage clothes of that era were cut slim, intended to be worn with serious girdles, so take this into account. The answer? There's no "exact" number. All we can know for sure is that Marilyn Monroe was a gorgeous, dramatically curvaceous woman with a physique heavier and curvier than that which is en vogue now.
According to the OP only thin women can be curvy, the rest of us are plump
Don't make stuff up. You make yourself look bad. We all read the OP. The emphasis was on the hourglass shape, and that has been the overwhelming theme of this entire thread.

You are not a size 12 with a 22 inch waist. If I remember right, Twiggy, had the same waist size. 32-22-32. Smaller hips but a size 0. Does 4 inches extra really make somebody go from a size 0 to a 12?
