I agree she is not curvy..not even sort of.. that curve you see below her boobs is her hip bone.. thats not a curve..

That's the right kind of curvy.

Urgh I hate those stupid Daily Mail articles on 'real women' and 'how this dress would look on a real woman'...

...everyone woman is different, just because someone is a size 6 with small boobs and hips, doesn't make her any less of a woman...grrrr.

As someone has already said, it's all relative. Slim covers athletic body shapes as well as just the skinny ones, generally slim can have pretty much any boob size but have a small waist and small hips with little body fat, sometimes a bit of muscle tone.

Curvy describes a ratio between waist, breasts and hip. the waist is the smaller measurement.

Fat is generally used to describe those who have a lot of weight or fat on one part of their body such as their abdomen, or a disproportionate amount on their hips or legs. For example, I have seen people who look to have smallish waists for their size, but then have a lot of fat on their hips and thighs and so you describe them as chubby or fat.

None of these things, however, can be described using sizes. I row and some of the women I know who also row are up to a size 14, but look very slim because of muscle tone. I'm a size 6 and have to eat a lot to keep my weight up because otherwise I'd lose muscle mass. I have very little body fat, but I don't look all that much different to many of the other girls in my team who are generally bigger sizes than me. None of us I would describe as curvy.

urgh i hate the term 'real woman' for describing someone bigger, a real woman is a person with tits and a fanny as far as im concerned

thats like saying you arnt a real man unless you have a cock thats bigger than 8 inches
I know I'm a girl, but I'll answer anyways.

Lulz, I'm a size 8 and I'm pretty sure I'm ten times the size of her. >__>
She would have to be about 6 feet tall to be considered a size 10 - at the most.

Everyone has a mixed perception of what they would consider to be 'fat'. In my eyes, Kim Kardashian's ass is horrible (it's the size of my friggin' house, for crying out loud :|), but I can see why guys would like her; I don't think she's even close to being fat, though. However, someone like Raven Symone or Nikki Blonsky are definitely fat and unattractive in my books.

thats bony not curvy


They're not 'bony' at all. Reading things like this sort of shows why a quarter of adults are obese and why this country has a really warped idea of what is 'curvy' and what is 'healthy looking', when really it's just fat.

Weight: 110 lbs (50 kg)
Dress Size: 4 US/ 34 EU/ 6 UK
Shoe Size: 8 US/ 39 EU/ 6 UK

That's wrong. 4 US is size 8 in the UK.
Haven't we already done the whole 'curvy VS fat' debate like a million times over?

I think we all agree, kelly brooke is curvy, keira knightly is just plain skin and bones and kerry katona is simply fat. :nothing:

When are people just going to get over their social insecurities about their weight? :cookie:

Well said.

Just because I'm very small boned, which runs in the family and can't gain weight, that makes me not a real woman?

if you were born with a vagina you are a real woman no matter how slim you are, no matter how small your boobs are and if anyone says otherwise they are retarded

Good!, it would only take a few young girls to look at this thread see these pictures and think "Omg.. i'm completely fat cos i don't have a body like her"...

Its stupid... no wonder we have all these body hang ups/eating disorders when we're comparing ourselves to celebs with personal trainers who live on ridiculous diets!


This is the problem. That you think that. You get your ideas about how to get into shape from magazines advertising these fad celebrity diets. If you did some basic research into healthy eating and exercise you would realise you can get a good body without a ridiculous diet. You need exercise and a balanced diet that contains the right number of calories. Its not difficult, most people are just ignorant in regards to health and nutrition.

How?

we only gauge 'fat' as a relative measure

Its distorted, because some people think that a healthy looking size 12 is fat.
Most girls growing up seem to think that a little bit of fat is immensely unhealthy when that is totally not true. I am not saying that all girls should feel comfortable at a size 16/18 but I am saying that they should not feel unhealthy and insecure of having a LITTLE bit of fat on their thighs and stomach.
Because teenage boys watch porn they seem to think that all girl should have plastic looking tits when of course most girls do not have overtly perky tits.
All of these celebrities have personal trainers and nutritionist so ordinary girls will look not always look like them.
Please do not get me started on airbrushing :hand: lol

Marisa Miller
Born: 27 April 1980, Santa Cruz, California, USA
Height: 5' 8"

Measurements: 34D-23-35 (86-58-88 cm) <<<< note her measurements?! those measurements are curvy despite her bieng a size 6


23?! Fookin' hell. I've got a pretty slim waist at 26...
Mind you, I'm 32C-26-34, and I'm a size 8 at my smallest (my literal hipbones won't allow anything smaller), so how 34D-35 (so the biggest parts of her body) get into a size 6, I have no idea.

How many ordinary women have the figures of Kim Kardashian or Kelly Brooke? They have personal trainers, dieticians, nutritionists, personal cooks and....PLASTIC SURGEONS. You'd have to be a real idiot to believe that Kim got those curves genetically (see before and after pictures). It wears thin when people use these plastic fantastic women as an exemplar of beauty. A little bit of midriff fat does not equate to chubby!! What f u c k e d up society are we living in to even suggest that? No wonder all these 8 year old little girls are developing eating disorders!
