Anyways, as one of those rare women that has both, don't you find it odd that having one of these assets is typically a curse on the other one. A D cup or above is almost a guarantee that a woman won't have a round athletic butt. Women that get the big athletic bottoms aren't always flat chested, but they rarely have a large chest. There has to be something more to this than just luck of the draw.

Also, I am referring to white women. I live in a really white area, so I don't have to the opportunity to check out women of other races, particularly black women, which are known for having great butts.
I don't think one is a curse to the other. Maybe it's just what you've noticed. I didn't know you were referring to white women. I am 1/2 white, 1/2 Asian, but I suppose I still qualify as one of these exceptions that you're referring to since I have big boobs and a big butt. I have tried to reduce the size of both with exercise, and no matter how much exercising I do, neither one has shrunk.

it depends on ratio. it has to be 0.7 or less to be considered curvy

Both would be considered curvy,but the one with the 25 inch waist moreso since her ratio is 0.69.


divide the inches of waist by the inches of hips.

Also,the ratio does not really mean a thing,because as i said,some women have really wide hips and look curvy from the front,whereas others look like they do not have hips from the front but they have bigger butts

Make a point to observe other women, and you'll see what I'm talking about. 9/10 this is the case. Also, I think women tend to over estimate the size of their butts. A true "bubble-butt" isn't very common in the first place regardless of the fact that a woman has a large chest. I've just noticed that that you will almost never see one on a woman with a large chest, and women with large chests disproportionately have "pancake butts" for some reason. Seriously, next time you're out and about, make a point to observe this.

Good post. Thanks!

So is the curvy term more for wider hips than bigger butt? Also does the bust size not matter in that ratio or just the hips? I.e. If one is 36 and the other 34.

It's almost as if the estrogen goes to one place or the other. We all know someone that is an exception to this rule, but as a collective whole this is typically the case. I wonder if there is any science behind this. Does anyone know of any studies that have been done on this subject?
Some of this has to do with body type. A significant percentage of women has a pear-shaped body type, which usually means wide hips, small bust. That doesn't necessarily mean they have a big butt, though, just wide hips. Most women of North European descent are the type that gain weight first in the hips/rear and legs, vs. the waist or the top.

Technically, "curvy" refers to whether or not the woman has an hourglass figure. And having an hourglass figure is more about having a small waist (the ratio jerseygal discussed), and doesn't necessarily mean a large bust. However, the way most men seem to mean "curvy" refers to the amount of padding on top front, and bottom rear. That's why it's confusing. So someone can look slim and not curvy from the front view, but by the side view, it's a whole other picture, if they have a big butt.

I used to wish I were curvier, but I've come to realize smaller girls like me tend to stay small as we age. The curvier girls aren't quite as likely to be so fortunate (just from what I've seen, I know not always the case).

women come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Or, we USED to.

Back before we all started to shove silicone into tender parts to look more like Barbie.

Frankly, around where I live, the biggest part of women is their MIDDLE! LOL I'm not trying to sound nasty, I am being completely honest. But there are a lot of older women in my town (retiree area) and they just don't keep up their shapes.

That said, I am one of those tall slender types with a large bust and pancake bottom. I am of northern Spaniard heritage, all my relatives are like this and most of the women from there seem to be built like this. Most "model" types, like the Victoria's Secret types are like this also. Taller, more slender women can seem to have a larger (natual) chest, but very rarely have much on the bottom.

Eh, so who really cares.....I do the best with what I've got, and haven't had any complaints yet....

OP, I don't know. The women here will debate all day long what curvy means and dump all kinds of statistics on this thread, but I totally get what you are saying. Most women who get an extra helping of chest or butt typically get one or the other - but rarely both. They just seem to be two discrete body types that rarely over lap. But when they do...wow.
