Any women here size 14........?So I read in an article that women who are size 14 are happiest with themselves. In your own experience is that true? Reason I ask is I personally find women with this size/shape very sexy but I find if they're curvier like this, they're often fat. Im certainly no perfectionist and don't mind if she has a little bit extra chub, hardly expecting a Britney Spears washboard mid-rift. Female celebs I find hot are Kate Winslet and Nigella Lawson, haha.
Anyway, I seem to find few girls with this shape around, i.e curvy with booty and breasts, full bodied:

Is that fair to say there aren't many girls of this shape around? Is it generally quite a difficult shape to achieve? Im guessing its a lot to do with genetics. -

Re: Any women here size 14........?"this size shape"... i'm sorry but "size 14" isn't a specific shape... i know someone 5"11 who is size 14 but rather slim, it's just she's quite broad... i also know someone who is like 5"4 and chubby and size 14...
so REALLY depends... i think the article is probably a load of crap... -

Re: Any women here size 14........?I think it's all about proportion and how toned you are, as well as your height, your natural shape, etc. People look best when they're healthy and happy with themselves, whatever that size may be.
I personally think a size 14 woman could look absolutely beautiful in her body, just as a size 8 woman could. I think it's difficult to have a curvy but slim look though. Most people who are a size 14 will have some kind of tummy on them. I'm not saying they're fat necessarily. We all have our good and bad points, if you have the boobs, hips and curves, you'll probably have some kind of tummy, whereas if you could grate cheese on your abs you probably won't have the soft curves a lot of women aspire to. -

Re: Any women here size 14........?Are you kidding me? I've seen that picture before and most size 14's don't look like that. I certainly didn't when I was the size this time last year (I'm a 10 now). Dress sizes are incredibly general and they depend on a lot more than factors such as distribution of fat.
To answer your question, I wasn't happy when I was that size. I was 5'2 at the time (pilates added an inch to my height so I currently stand at 5'3) so being that short and that size was not a good combination. I developed an eating disorder and started exercising compulsively whilst severely restricting my caloric intake. (Though this has more to do with my being bullied as a child for being a bit on the chubby side.) However, I'm just one case - I know many size 14s who are about my height and are comfortable (on most days
) with their body.

Re: Any women here size 14........?You can't really 'achieve' a shape, you are more or less born with it. Most size 14s do not look like that; regardless of the woman's size she is still a model and models rarely represent the average woman which is kind of the point.(Original post by newts2k)

I don't really care if a bunch of women are happy being a size 14, it's not for me.Last edited by Nomes89; 30-04-2012 at 22:54. -

Re: Any women here size 14........?I think girls being unhappy with their sizes is a result of years and years of pounding telling them they have to look a certain way to be attractive to men. The fact that happiness is linked to how one looks is utterly insane and is very sad indeed. Being attractive to men should not be linked to self esteem. It's horrible if you think about it enough

Re: Any women here size 14........?Well, I am 5ft5 and a size 12.
I weigh 10st 8lbs, but am dieting at the moment.
However, even when I am only 9st, I'm still a size 12- well jean size anyway, just have huge hips I guess.
Would I like to be a 14? Not really, but I'm sure I could live with it, I'm probably not that far off anyway.
I wouldn't mind if I was a 14 because my breasts were huge and I had some actual muscle or big bones, but smaller hips, if that makes sense. -

Re: Any women here size 14........?thats a sexy shape though, latina booty's are hot(Original post by F Ellen)
I'm a size 12-14, depending on where I shop. But my figure is a typical pear shape, I am curvy at the bottom but I have smaller breasts, so no, not happy. I'd be happy at a size 14 if my breasts were bigger. -

Re: Any women here size 14........?I'm so many sizes, I have no idea what size I actually am. Ended up picking up some 16s in Primark because I have mahoosive hips, yet I can wear 12s from Primark as well. I swear my thighs and ass are disproportionately large, yet I've got a relatively small stomach. Top half's an 8/10/12 depending on the type of top/place I'm buying from, although with hoodies I generally go for a 14, my arms are long. Bottom half can range between 12 and 14 depending on the shop/fit, and I have one pair of 16s.
I have big feet too, I swear I'm just made up of someone else's unwanted body parts.
