You are right, but what makes her look bigger (or smaller in the picture I posted) is a bit of illusion. It's still the same woman and the pictures are form the same time period (or at least same profile).

Why the illusion:

#1 she's got something tied around her waist, a jacket maybe? (look at her left side, on your right, you can see the bumpy outline).
#2 Heels vs flats. Her legs are the same basic shape, but the heels make her legs look longer. But if you look at the shape of her legs, they are the same.

I'd say look at her collar bone in the picture you posted. You usually can't see the collarbone in an overweight woman.

I wonder why she didn't include the pic of her in the burgundy skirt in her online dating profile--it's a flattering pic.

Sorry, she doesn't look bigger there at all. It's what she is wearing and the body angle.

She didn't use the pics of her in the skirt because she knows what she is doing. That is the point of an article like that. The skirt photo doesn't bring dudes in. Pics of her being active doing something fun, like hiking in a place that looks similar to Antelope Canyon in Arizona shows she is doing cool stuff, is active, and is traveling. It's the entire point of her piece. Women generally post unflattering pics (I'm sure men do too) that appeal to other women maybe, or themselves, but not to their audience (see dudes posting pics of them with fish they caught).

I'm thinking you guys are right. I looked at her Instagram and depending on the angle or what she's wearing she looks different. Case in point the two pics below. I think she looks good and I will retract my statement about her being plus size. The Most Messaged Woman on OkCupid-image.jpeg

She reminds me of Krysten Ritter.

She does! She also looks rather different with brown hair and lighter lipstick. With black hair and red lipstick she looks almost like another person.

The reality is, guys when given a line up prefer women sizes 10-12. The women in porn, the women in swimsuit mags or vitcoria secret catalogs ARE NOT sizes 4 or 6 or even 8 generally. They have curves. That is what makes them hot.
A size 10 or 12 might look good on a super tall woman, but it would not look so great on short and average height women. And I can tell you that Victoria's Secrets models are no bigger than a size four...most of them are a size 2 and they are tall.

Well, yeah, anything 8+ will typically look good on certain body types and height. I don't know if she's a 10/12. She could be an 8/10. I was about her size when I was dating and I'm 5'9.5". She also describes her body as curvy.

Most are size two? The profiles I've read said 8 or so. For the individual models. They're curvy. Doubt they're 2s. If they're tall and twos they're twiggy. Candice Swanepoel, for example, was size 8 as an IMG model. Then something horrible happened to her and she got sick or something.
