Well typically women only want the positives men are afforded, but not true equality (ie women having to pay alimony, etc).

I personally don't mind the term "curvy" unless the girl is Michelin Man curvy, in which case it's absolutely gross. The term "fat" hurts women far more than men too as the value of a woman (in society) is based primarily upon her looks whereas a guy's is based on his success/wealth.

I,A uses "supposta" a lot. "Supposta" is italian for suppository.

Also: ever notice how men who talk about "you ladies" tend to be obnoxious creeps?

Ever notice how women resort to using "creep" to belittle any guy who's opinion they disagree with?
4
No, can't say that I do notice that.
5
Truly shocking ;)
6
I can see why that might be a sore subject for you personally.
7
Gosh you sure got me there! :)

Creepy, possibly Italian, chauvinist who listens to Adam Carolla too much, who thinks curvy = fat and hour-glass-figure = big ass. Must be a real winner with the ladies, with an attitude like that.

Actually it's the women who think fat=curvy. Unfortunately many men find this out the hard way when the face-to-face encounter finally happens and those carefully angled/posed photos the woman has been touting as how she looks turn out to not accurately represent her (at all) in real life. If women simply kept it honest and real this wouldn't even be an issue. Stop worrying so much about your fat and just be honest about it. It's not the end of the world and gym's are always offering good sign-up deals. Or just park the car and start cycling everywhere. It's summer and this is the city to do it. Try not to get too heated reading these comments.

In summation:

WAAAAAH!! WOMEN USE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH AND I DON'T LIKE FAT CHICKS!! WAAAAAH!!

I, Anonymous? More like I, Arenit

Curvy means maybe 20/30lbs over ideal healthy weight. Curvy does not mean 250lbs. The offense Americans take to being called fat is pure comedy. If you don't like the word then take control of your eating habits. Fat is not a genetic disorder, it's nothing more than the result of poor dieting decisions. To lash out at those who find it unattractive says far more about you than it does Anon.
13
Geyser: actually my submission was posted a few weeks ago. While it's always a novel idea to suppose anyone who agrees with Anon is actually the author, in this case it isn't so. Though I agree with him 110% regardless.
14
Doesn't anybody ever meet in person anymore? This "problem" could be solved by backing away from the internet dating site and actually going in public to meet people.
15
Well let's be honest, bigger girls (whoops.. I mean "curvy") tend to spend their time dwelling in the caverns of online dating sites far more than those who don't have the big asses (whoops.. I mean "hourglass figures"). For bigger folks (and ugly folks), online dating sites have provided a huge help, especially because these two demographics tend to not have the sharpest of social skills. To ask them to put the online dating profile on the backburner and venture out to bars/clubs is an awfully tall order for them, daunting too.
16
I agree, anon. When I hear the words "curvy" and "voluptuous" used to describe a woman I usually think of ladies like Scarlett Johansson, Monica Belluci, Marilyn Monroe, etc. But like you said, more often than not, ladies who are overweight, chubby, whatever you want to call it, are using these words to describe themselves.

I absolutely do not believe that anyone should be ashamed of their size as long as they are happy with who they are. I will never try to make someone feel bad just for being overweight, but I do wish the terms for an actual hour-glass figure were used more accurately.
17
Somebody here clearly hates Italians.
18
See, the problem here is that being "fat" is a very subjective thing. It's not like having brown eyes, or being 5'6". One person's "curvy" is another person's "skinny" (for instance, I wouldn't describe Scarlett Johansson as curvy or voluptuous. She has an hourglass figure, but I consider her skinny. Curvy and voluptuous are words I'd use for someone like Christina Hendricks). One person may consider themselves fat and not be in the eyes of someone else. Another might think her body's awesome and may not want to apply a negative word like "fat" to it even if she has more weight than the average person.

Until there is a universally-accepted naming convention for each body type/weight, people are going to describe themselves however they see fit, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The problem here is that Anon wants people HE considers fat to describe themselves as fat. What does he consider to be fat? How are the people he's addressing "supposta" know? Why should anyone give a shit what he thinks about their body?

If Anon doesn't want to deal with people describing themselves, he should probably get off his ass and go outside to look at people so he doesn't have to rely on text to decide how they look.
19
"...in my book..." Nobody cares about your book, Anon. You should read MY book, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Big Butts."
20
whatever happened to fat women calling themselves 'Rubenesque'?
21
I hope lady I,A above you finds you and kicks your ass.
22
I love big women. Love 'em. Keep doing what you're doing, beautiful big girls of Portland.

23
@arenit: pics plz
24
@ 18 : Good points all around. Touche.
25
What I don't get is that if you can't actually meet women in real life to see first hand what they look like and whether or not your attracted to them, then you don't have any room to complain. I highly doubt Mr. I,A is a catch himself, since he can only met women first on online dating sites anonymously. Also it's doubtful he's fully honest what he looks like to these women he talks to online or through texting. Men like to say things like; Oh, I'm athletic, then you met them and their not athletic at all, their skinning men who once in awhile go snowboarding or skateboard.
26
Ohh shit, skinning = skinny. haha
27
you: curvy
me: pervy
let's float
a love boat
until we get scurvy
29
i...can't... even...FUCK THIS CRETIN!
30
Every time i come here and see the tag *unregistered comment in the comment section, i just KNOW it's someone talking shit with nothing productive to add to the discussion.
31
I am 5' 6" tall, I weigh 118 pounds, my hubbys best buddy told me I was getting fat...I wished I could punch him in the balls.
32
And I every time I see a comment with the name "Damosa" underneath it, I think to myself, "Here we go again, another pointless opinion by this FBI investigating, window punching, earring wearing, bus riding, Portland wannabe". Am I close? I'm just messing with ya, man. Don't be so sensitive and stuff.
33
And #31, you sound HOT. Your "hubby's best buddy" told you that because he's FLIRTING with you. He wants you.
He wants you bad.
Get a clue.
34
@arenit

PICS OR GTFO
35
I'd expect as much from someone who uses an american fag, i mean flag as he's avatar.
36
@Mimosa: Wow. You used the word fag. What are you, in the 7th grade? I take it back, I did mean it. ALL of it, you idiot.
37
@captain you forgot poet
38
Being insensitive of a woman,s weight is not a particularly smart move, especially with all the societal pressures women face in that area.
39
Well this 170 5 foot 6 inch lady loves this fat ass. I'd rather have tits and ass then a body like a 12 year old. Makes you think, doesn't it?

All ladies can be sexy. All HUMANS can be sexy. Everybody likes something different. Sorry if us "fat chicks" offend your delicate sensibilities.

Maybe move to LA where everyone is pin thin and looks the same?

And skinny girls...you're hot too. This guy is just a douche, so steer clear.

This is why dating sites need to force people to list BMI...
41
Hey Jamdox, can they also force men to reveal their penis size?
That'd be helpful.
42
You win. Let's just say that you're Rubineseque and I'm Clintonesque and go back to our world of deceit, where we only find out essential information at the last possible moment.

Seriously though, how do size-oriented women deal with it? Do they try to guess who's packing, or just give a lot of handjobs in the process of weeding out the undercocked?

Honestly, if it matters that much, let's put it out there. I could be a dick (lol) and point out that weight is "obvious" and junk size is "private," but -- while we're online, we should be upfront, about everything.

So here's the pitch: Since the bullshit is such a problem, I think there's good money to be made in starting a dating site where it's ALL put out there. Not just penis size and weight, but illnesses, haunting traumas, perversions, sins venial and gross, all listed on the page.

We can call it "Pick A Winner!"

And -- anyone who says they're "in love with the outdoors" gets banned.
43
Shut the fuck up.
44
@jamdox stop posting while you're high
45
¿Que?
46
HAHHAHAAAA!

Please wait...
