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

few make fun of fatties. besides theyre in control of that


who's in control of that? Nobody's in control of how others act. Fat people can control their weight, but not how people react to it.

that's simply not true. Look at some of the people on this forum for example! :smile:

That isn't taking the piss out of someone though. It's simply a preference not much difference from racial a preference :ninja:


exactly.but why is it okay to say I like tall white man

but its not okay to say I want a thin girl as much

being anti fat is seen as bad but being anti tall isnt seen as bad

its an internet form.in the real world. making fun or even saying its a preference not have a fat girl is taboo

my point is small people cant change their height black people cant dye their skin white...why cant we have a preference for thin people and for it not to be taboo to say Im after a girl who isnt fat

that's fine, everyone's entitled to their preferences :smile:. Don't make fun of someone just because they're not your cup of tea though! And I have a lot of friends with first hand experience of being bullied for their weight in the real world.
Being curvy is subjective really. A skinny woman can still be curvy - just means you have a decent chest, high hip:waist ratio and probably a nice arse.
Curvy is not how fat you are.
Because it's trendy now. Beyoncé, ha, impact!

It's fine to say both imo :erm: as long as you aren't a dick about what you don't like :flower2:



I have no idea abut the anti fat anti tall thing. I honestly don't think that anti either is great. :auto::auto:

Grand I dont want a fat girl. no more hate. that happens with race and height too. Having the preference for certain races and heights as oppose to something you can control like fatness isnt tabooed though.

its okay to have a preference. but I dislike when girls say I like tall white men. whereas I cant say I want thin women as easily....

bout time its seen as equal.

I don't think it's tabooed for fatness! You can't blame a person for their preferences, but how they treat people that don't fit their preferences? You can judge them based on that.

not true.its taboo to comment "too fat for me" but "too small or not white" is accepted.
youre missing my point.

I'm not missing it I just disagree with it :smile: as far as I'm concerned everyone's entitled to their preferences, just as long as they're not dicks about how they express it
