Interesting. Never thought along those lines, but now that you have me doing so, I'd say the numbers are reversed! I'm just over 60 now, not as fit as I used to be but not overweight and most of my friends and family are not overweight, even moderately.
Still..., I know age is no friend to staying slender. I think it much depends on life-long eating and exercise habits. I never had soda in the house while growing up. My wife and I have never had soda in the house for our kids either, both kids not overweight today either. My wife and I walk just about every day, at least a mile. My wife is a vegetarian. I'm not, but I have to thank my wife for always pushing us toward healthier foods, low-to-no fat, organic, little-to-no sugar. I draw the line at IN-N-OUT though. No way am I giving up my two cheeseburgers with grilled onions, fries and a milk that I have been enjoying since I was 16...
Little-to-no sugar is what's keeping you lean.

After seeing the pictures, I am realizing that most people don't know the difference between thick and obese. That blonde model is absolutely gorgeous and is in no way obese.

Lol, I guarantee every single obnoxious person on this thread insulting this woman is an out of shape, fat ass who does nothing but pound on their keyboard while stuffing their fat ugly faces. 100% guarantee.
suuuuuuuuure, they are. and you can '100% guarantee' it. lol
Yep. When I was a kid Marilyn Monroe was the beauty standard. (You can find pictures of her without her face glop and hair spray, these are my favorites - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-London.html). By the time I was a teenager, she would have been considered too fat to be a high fashion model, and it’s been that way for the past forty years. !
Although I thought Marilyn Monroe had a great figure in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", I thought she was much too fat in "Some Like It Hot", in which I think she looks at least 25 pounds heavier.
(Btw, although I was never anywhere near as beautiful as she was (to say the least), I have always had an hourglass figure similar to MM's; however, that has not been a great thing. Keeping excess weight off has always been difficult for me, and although I was 34-22-34 in high school, I would have almost killed to have the slender legs and upper arms of my very slim classmates, instead of the heavy and fatty upper arms and legs I was genetically predisposed to have. The only good thing now is that even though I have gained an average of a pound a year since I was 17, at least I still have a very defined waist -- and I am just glad and grateful that my husband likes my increased "voluptuousness", LOL!)
When I was young, "curvy" meant figures like those of Raquel Welch or Lynda Carter.
Now, curvy means, 'shaped like a refrigerator'.
I have no problem with women of different shapes being considered attractive, but curvy always referred to the ratio between the bust, waist, and hips, not the multitude of folds of fat.
It was a fashion show, not a beauty contest. Overweight women need to wear clothing too and should be able to see what clothing options are available to them.
I was expecting HUGE from the thread title. Instead I found typical.
