Why do so many girls call themselves 'curvy' when they clearly aren't?

So I'm on Zoosk looking for a date for this weekend, and I come across this girl who looks really cute. I go down into her profile and she has put herself as 'curvy'. I check her other pictures out and there's only 1 full body one. She has legs the size of tree trunks and is clearly pear shaped. Embarrassing really.

Why do so many girls think it's OK to lie about their "curves"?

So they feel better about themselves.

This! I never understood that as well....

If you're overweight just be honest and say you're overweight but youre working on it rather than say "I'm a curvy girl with curves in all of the right places" but has frigging michelin tyre rolls from head to toe...
To try and cover up the fact they are overweight /fat.
Because what else can they say?

Well being honest and truthful about oneself is usually a better idea.

It's like if slim guy said "I'm stocky" lol
I guess it's because "curvy" has less of a negative stigma than "fat". No girl would describe herself as fat, unless she were really honest and confident :s-smilie: I don't see the point of lying, it's not as if the other person won't notice the body shape in general

I saw this other cute girl, went through her profile and the last line was "Only message me if you like transsexuals" NOPE ABORT ABORT!

Most actually don't lie. But there are pockets of guys and girls who will hide behind words.

Why do so many guys want to post this type of futile question on TSR ?
People define curves in different ways, maybe she honestly does see herself as curvy, and who are you to question that? If she's not your type, or you don't agree with the way that she describes herself, don't talk to her. It's a simple as that. There is really no need to post about her 'tree trunk' legs on here and tell everyone how embarrassing you think it is.

Well some guys do like 'fat' women. So if they were honest, they would get a lot more chances rather than saying their 'curvy' when they clearly aren't.

it's amazing though how some girls can be really pretty till you see the body youre like HELL NAW...i would be thinking about them dangling bingo wings flapping while we sit and have lunch in a nice Italian restaurant..

It's not an attractive look and also shows the person doesn't really take care of their health as much as they should thus could be lacking in other areas of life :/

Pear shaped girls can be attractive pls
Leave us girls in the itty bitty titty committee alone :'(((((

Idk I'm bigger in comparison to my friends imo but I'm not -fat- per say... People usually call me curvy so I just roll with it tbh.
