How Do You Define Curvy?

Question

Hey Guys. I'm 17 and from Houston, TX. Where i'm from there's a strong emphasis on being "curvy" or having "a bit meat on your bones". How do you guys define the term "curvy". It seems like it's only been popularised in recent years by celebrities such as Beyonce or J.Lo. J.Lo, in my understanding of the word curvy is not that, but just has a nice very slim body with a big booty. I'm 5"3 and my measurements are 34-26-37. What would ya'll say i am? I also feel self-consious as i feel like in order to be curvy you have to be very slim but have larger hips or a bigger butt. As a have double D (verging on E these days) breasts i automatically look bigger than what i actually am and actually don't look like what the media defines as curvy. (Very slim and slender but with big with hips and a butt but usually not particularly big breasts. For example http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Beyonce-32-Picture.htm
OR

Now every woman would love to look like these guys. Me included. So is that the definition curvy or are these (which seem equally beautiful)

Answer 1

Oh poor girl... You have been influenced by Hollywood....Don't think or look at those stupid girls! They just pay for their bodies. As long as you feel good about yourself, you are perfect!!!!!! :)

Answer 2

i think when they say curvy, you have a voluptous body...you have big bust, SMALL waist, nice big hips and a proud round butt...

it doesn't mean to say you're curvy with layers of fat....

it depends on the opinion of each person i guess or how a person sees one as being curvy or not...but i think the definition you're looking for is someone having the descriptions i said on the first paragraph...

definitely, beyonce is curvy

Answer 3

As long as your waist isnt the same size, or close to the same size, as your hips. You are fine. It used to be known as an hour glass shape. Which is perfect in my book.

These dang straight as an arrow builds girls like nowadays is awful. Dont understand how any guy finds that attractive unless he has underlying homosexual tendencies.

Answer 4

i would think that you have a curvy shaped body because you do have a slim waist but don't throw your self in to that category like everyone else and be proud of what you have

Answer 5

My mother-in-law has six curvy chins.

Answer 6

They are both skinny on that pic when compared to midwest standards.
