Thick = on the high end of a healthy weight or slightly overweight, possibly curvy but not necessarily, PC way to say chubby
Plus-sized = wears a clothing size larger than the standard sizes, 14+ sizes
Full-figured = PC way of saying fat
lol
Thank you. (Hmmm... I never liked the word fat anyway. Maybe we are becoming like the Eskimos who supposedly have many different words for snow.)
I read an article in Self or Shape or one of those where Mariska Hargitay referred to herself as "full-figured" because she has a chest and hips and isn't rail thin.
I can get behind this. I am 5'10", have wide hips and a big butt, and wear a 38D bra size, and therefore will be "full-figured" at any size, of which I have ranged from 12-22 and back throughout life. My figure is full and curvy at my most slim, and at my most heavy.

Full figured? Either she's not familiar with how the rest of our culture applies that label or she's being really hard on herself. I looked her up on IMDB. She's 5' 7.5" and her measurements are 36-24-36. Those are Playboy model stats. She may not be rail thin, but I would hardly describe her as full-figured.
Simply depends on the person...some frames wear different sizes.
By my weight, according to an old BMI chart, I'm considered "obese"....by my doctor, I just need to shed several pounds. I'm large framed (and not using that as a cover up for "fat", because, yes, I need to lose weight, but I also have a lot of muscle, and a heavy bone structure, on top of being fairly tall).
LOL Well I never. I totally disagree. I guess it's true, there are some men who can't handle a curve.
I dont really like women with a curve as in a single curve like the letter - O or in the shape of the McDonalds Grimace. I like curves (plural) where there is curve of hips, inward curve at waist, you know curves.
A woman in the shape of the McDonalds Grimace is not attractive.
Again:
Thick - Kim Kardashian, Vida Guerra, Beyonce, Serena Williams - (all hot and sexy women physically)
Plus sized - Jennifer Hudson, Janet Reno, Shirley from "Whats Happening", MoNique.
Full Figured - Andre The Giant sized women. The Grimace sized women.

What is the difference between thick, plus sized, and full figured?
