Ladies, curves are where it's at

[EcEu]

that was definitely something else Cassi o_o

anyway on the subject of curves, John, i have a little theory that may be of interest to you

This is regarding why high heels are so damn sexy.

They are because they help women achieve the one thing that is undeniably sexy which is curves.

First, observe the shape of the high heel, they make it so a woman flexes her foot to stand with them, almost like she's on her tip toes.

This in turn causes her calf muscles to flex, make her stand up straighter to keep balance, and make her elbows go back and bring her chest forward.

This also makes many of the woman's natural curves stand out, the arch of her foot, ankles and legs, the small of her back and her breasts.

In photography it is not uncommon to see models with high heels, and when they aren't wearing them it's still uncommon to see them posing flat footed, the best pictures i've seen is with the model flexing her foot to cause the series of curves mentioned above.

Hmmm well I happen to be a thin yet curvy girl... Size 7 in most pants... Hmmm 36-27-40 pretty decently curvy right guys?

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

Invite her to ride up here with you when you come up, babe. We'll dump her off on the south side of Reading where she can live out her life in her chosen profession of crazy crack-whore.

That is, after you and Skippy put the boots to her. 🙂

Fo sho - I are fierce - I toldja 😀

yeah it was pretty ridiculous and sadly catty. It doesn't bother me but I do wonder what the fuck triggered it.

cassandra: um well i wasn't planning on being with you so that makes us even

Rejection is what triggered it mi amor -- she had to pretend she didn't want you in the 1st place

I love a woman with curves. Chicks who are too skinny tend to look like little boys and I'm just not into that.

I don't have a comment about what you said - I just had to tell you that I am fucking in LOVE with your sig pic.....BROMANCE...amazing...i love it....you're my hero...and we're currently in love...I hope you don't mind

Ding ding ding ding ding............I have a winner!!

I'm a big girl........a really big girl! I normally am okay with my size, but I've gotten to the point with a sedentary lifestyle and a serious bout with depression, I'm a size that I don't want to be.

So since I don't sleep like normal people, I get to watch a lot of informecials.
There is a new one by the firm for those new year resolution folks. I like the concept and the equipment, but something bothers me serious! The women in the infomercial have hips like cynder blocks and look like boys! Where are the round curvy hips I know women possess? What happened to real curves? When did boxy hips become a beauty standard for women? Where was I when all of this happened?

I don't expect men to rally around this big body even though there are plenty of men who worship me on websites (even to the point one of them "jacked off" on my photo while IMing me-super nasty!). But women should not have to have hips like boys (not men, boys) or wear bras two sizes too small in order to be seen as fit and healthy.

Tortuga, I'd love to be "fat" like you sista'; you're beautiful and have an amazing body. That's why you model because in your deepest consciousness, you know you have the goods lady! Tell Sara to kiss my big brown and round!

I can appreciate the idea behind this, and I'm not refuting that curvy women are beautiful, but it's not curves that make a woman sexy. Or it shouldn't be. Women aren't LESS because they don't possess curves...and they aren't horrific monsters if they do.

As a very thin girl with very little curves, a lot of the comments made here have really hurt my feelings. I struggle daily with picking out the right outfit to make it appear as though I have wider hips, and a more voluptuous behind. Like my "curvier" friends who stare in the mirror and obsess over losing weight, I stare into the mirror and think "motherfucker - why do I look like a dude?" I DO happen to feel less womanly because I'm so thin with very little curvature. Thankfully, God blessed me with large breasts, so I don't feel completely like a little boy. Likewise, I have a very dear friend who has the exact OPPOSITE problem. She wants less hips, less curve, less booty, more booby.

I think the thing to remember is that it isn't curves, or fat, or muscle (or lack of) that make a woman beautiful. It's being healthy, and having great INNER beauty that make a woman beautiful. A man shouldn't pick one side or the other. You're lucky you're even getting a woman in the first place 🙂p). There are so many different, beautiful, UNIQUE body shapes. It's not just curves or bust.


Edit:: In case this comes off as bitchy, I just want to clarify that I'm not belittling the post, or the enthusiasm with which people support curvy women. I think the message is a true one: curvy is hot. But I think a BETTER message would be: All body types are beautiful, be it curvy, thin, medium, tall, short, whatever. Men don't (or shouldn't) PREFER curvy over something else. Likewise, they shouldn't PREFER thin over something else.

 

[slacker2114]

I do believe, dear Gin, you have humbled us all. You have cut right to the heart of the matter and you're right. Too often we all find ourselves obsessed with the physical and we lose sight that it isn't what makes people like us. It's who we are inside.

Problem solved!

[Mister Scruff]

I quit preaching it because most of the time they think it's horseshit, but clearly it's not. We're guys and we hear what other guys think when we get together, and that is said more often than not. And it is not to take away from people who are naturally petite, as women are just fucking beautiful. But yeah curvy ladies, quit listening to Cosmo and start listening to the fellas that count.

That's right, women; what men think of your figure is all that is important!

The reason women tend not to listen to men when they say "I love you just the way you are" is because, yeah, WE might love them just the way they are. They don't, though. You can sit and tell someone earnestly that they look fantastic, but until they're happy with themselves it won't matter a jot. If what you mean is "the pressure being placed on women to conform to a largely unattainable standard of physical beauty is revolting" then I second that, but that largely has nothing to do with what men think.

I don't think it's necessarily a case of that, either; people can't help preferring one over the other. I can't help who (or, in some cases, what... HAIL THE PEAR) I am attracted to, and a lot of the time I can't really explain what exactly it is that attracts me, so to say I shouldn't prefer one thing over another is a bit wrong. I can't help preferring what I prefer (pears). The message, I think, should be as long as you're happy with yourself what anyone else thinks doesn't matter.

Also I always thought you were quite curvy, which probably shows what I know :-o

 

[Tortuga]

Yeah I'll admit I'm one of those girls that Gin is talking about that obsessed about the bulge I have for an ass and the pot I have for a belly, and the boobs that don't exist! But here is how I think it, and it kind of helps being attracted to the females.

I think every woman is beautiful in there own way. They don't have to be a fashion model to be gorgeous. Being bisexual I happen to obsess over just about every woman I have met in person from this forum. AND I think that every single one of them is beautiful inside and out.

Hokay....Rawr....that is all.

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

That's right, women; what men think of your figure is all that is important!

I don't think that's what he was trying to say. I think his point was more along the lines of the fact that a large part of the reason women want to be attractive is to attract a partner. And I think what Krazie's trying to say is that you don't need to be super skinny for men to love your body. And if women could understand that, it might help take some pressure off. Ya dig?

I kind of agree. I think it's perfectly fine to prefer one thing over another -- we all have our ideas of what an ideal partner would look like, but it's the way you express those preferences, and how you treat people who don't necessarily fit into the mold of what's good for you that matters. Some guys don't dig a big girl. I'm fine with that. Who am I to tell a guy what to like?? I don't need every guy to be attracted to me, so if they find a certain feature of mine unattractive, I'm okay with that, just as long as they're respectful and polite. That's all I need 🙂

 

[Homer28]

Curves rock hard core!!!!

 

[kered]

Well said Gin! And from the pictures I've seen of you, well you definatly are safely in the girl catagory. I also have been thin all my life and buying clothes that made me look decent has always been a nightmare for me. I understand where you are coming from there. Male or female, we all have something we can't change about our shapes so we might as well just be the best we can be with what we've got.

 

[KrazieDog]

They ask, so yes I commented to listen to the response of a loved one over the conformity we both despise. No I did not say "our" opinion is the end all be all of what will make them feel better. I didn't think I needed to point out that if they aren't comfortable with themselves, then no matter what anyone says it won't matter; that's a given. It's specifically why I said their is nothing wrong with people naturally petite and that women are beautiful. That's my answer on the topic of builds of women, that they are all beautiful, and every single person here that knows me,has heard me say that.

As for the 2 main women commenting in this thread, they will tell you, we had this EXACT discussion at the Ohio gathering in a hotel room on Sunday morning. I named off random girls of the community, all beautiful in different ways, and pointing out to them that not one of the four of them look anything alike. So to clarify my point, women - are - beautiful.

 

[Mister Scruff]

That's how I read it, though. Obviously I was mistaken.

I didn't think I needed to point out that if they aren't comfortable with themselves, then no matter what anyone says it won't matter; that's a given.

Well, when you're saying "don't be down, listen to us; we know!", you sort of imply that's not the case. Don't get down on yourself. Listen to us, use our opinion as the basis for your self-worth.

It's obviously not what you meant, but that's how it read.

So to clarify my point, women - are - beautiful.

Well done.

I do, I do. 😀

I don't need every guy to be attracted to me, so if they find a certain feature of mine unattractive, I'm okay with that, just as long as they're respectful and polite. That's all I need 🙂

See, this is a civility issue rather than anything to do with attractiveness or whatever. Unfortunately since it is a civility issue I don't feel qualified to comment 🙁

Men don't (or shouldn't) PREFER curvy over something else. Likewise, they shouldn't PREFER thin over something else.

Blame evolution. There are reasons why people prefer the features they do. What's heartening, however, is that the genes for every body type at present have survived to be expressed at this point, so there were likely folks in each generation who continued to find each of these types attractive, and so there are folks attracted to or more suited to each body type today.

No one need feel too insecure about any matter of curves/no curves, therefore, as rest assured, whatever body type you have, there are folks out there who can appreciate it in all its wonders.

In the meantime, we should give our personalities regular workouts, because a good personality is wonderfully attractive on anyone.

 

[Rorshach]

I personally don't see a problem with men or women voicing a preference for a particular body type. I'm certainly not going to get bent out of shape if somebody expresses a preference that doesn't describe me. There's somebody for everybody.

 

[Sandrock74]

There's somebody for everybody.

Except for me.

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

Except for me.

What about Cy/Mig?!?! The Bromance!!!

 

[lilyisticklish]

Shhhh...the big people are talking. 😛

Here's what I wanna know... Why is it that in order to be "curvy" you have to be heavier set? Don't get me wrong I happen to have an obsession with a couple of heavier set ladies so it is not a problem for me. Girls can be thin and still be curvy.

 

[♡AimLEE♡]

Fuck yeah!

I hear what you're saying, but I think you're taking this the wrong way. The point of starting the thread was to try and assert that what is constantly shown as the "ideal" for women is not at all in line what the reality of what most men think is beautiful. The point of thread WAS NOT to simply say "In order to be beautiful and sexy, women must have curves." That wasn't the point at all. ...actually, that's not even in the same universe as the point.
We currently live in a society that likes to label women with curves as fat and unattractive. This thread was simply a rebuttal to that.
Also, as I stated, Health and self confidence is beautiful and attractive....curves or no.

So...the thread was not a dig at slimmer girls.

Uh...you don't have to be heavier set to be curvy. Who said that?😕
