What does "Curvy" mean? -

What does "curvy" mean to you and at what point does "curvy" become fat?
I hear a lot of guys say they like "curvy" girls but then I also get them describing chicks from Monique all the way down to size 2 Super Models and consider them "Curvy".
A chick on another forum described herself as "curvy" to which a guy responded "Oh so that means you're fat."
When you hear a girl say she's "curvy" do you think plus sized Monique or size 2 Giselle Bunchen?

It depends,anything over a size 4 in the modelling industry is considered plus sized and curvy.
In the real world curvy is size 10-16,anything beyond that is just fat and there's no point kidding yourself that it isn't.
Like someone said in the politically incorrect thread,too many black women have hi-jacked the word thick(which actually means someone with Beyonce type thighs or a little bigger)when in fact these women who describe themselves as "thick" are usually morbidly obese and have what can only be described as "an avalanche of flesh".........however you cannot tell these deluded females that they do not look the shit............and they think this because men are still willing to phuck them,well they should not gauge their attractiveness on whether some guy will boink them...........
Because when it comes to the needs of their dicks,men have been known to not be very discriminating.
For evidence of this you only have to look at some of the fine specimens of woman-hood you see pushing strollers/buggies,sometimes you just shake your head in disbelief that any man could have put his cock in that!
I aint asking for nothing,just open the door and i\'ll take it myself-James Brown.

I think curvey means a slim waist, a bit of meat on the thighs a bum and medium sized breasts. As JB said many black woman appear confused in that they think a big belly, breasts that are made mainly out of fat than muscle and thighs so fat that they wobble when they walk means 'thick' or 'curvy'. These same woman seem to love to wear tight clothes too. I feel bad for black men as everybody thinks they love off obese woman like they'll settle for anything and don't have standards. You've even got mampie white women believing that its ok if they look like Roseanne Barr because even if no white man wants them, they'll be a black man who will because black men love off obese women.
Kelly Rowland = slim
Toccara = curvy
Monique= fat

hmm, I've always viewed curvy as a body shape descriptor rather than body size.
Like, depending on her ratios a 100 pound woman can be "curvy" or a 200 pound woman can be "curvy".
There are slim women with no shape and there are morbidly obese women with no shape, on the flip side both women on these extremes can also have a coca-cola-bottle shape and lady lumps galore albeit on different scales.
Fat, but curvy

Thin, but curvy

It means overweight if a black woman is using it

@CashMoney
You Absolutely wrong!!!..YT women and the media use it all the time..that 'previously' fat woman on the morning program Fern Brittan who had an operation to lose weight whilst fooling the viewers was descibed as 'Curvy'..YT people tend to associate their mid range fat women as curvy..and that cook Nigella Lawson was described as such despite piling on the pounds..
We use thick...which essentially is a nicer version of fat
@Melissa and @Afriki have said it all...
one will need a bigger lie to cover the first one

Fair point @astmartins, I should have just said it means overweight
But you know, I aint heard white people use the word curvy too much. More the 'meat on the bones' phrase I hear with them,

Vanessa Feltz describes herself as 'curvy' and even did one of her BBC London shows on how black men seem to "prefer curvy women" since that was her own experience!!
