Answer 5

Whether the person has a smaller waistline than their bust and hips or not.

hmm, if they are spilling out of their clothing than that's just plain fat, if the curves are firm then it's voluptuous.

Answer 7

curvy, chubby, bloater

Answer 8

Fat rolls....

Answer 9

I think I'm just teetering on the edge of fat at the moment so have stopped eating so much and exercising so I can return to curvy!

Answer 10

I don't think it is size, more tone, some very large women have beautiful toned skin that doesn't wobble or ripple when they move and look fabulous. Some quite thin women can look quite flabby if they have no muscle tone.

Fitness is more important than fatness I think.

Answer 11

Their muscle tone, how they carry themselves, how they look naked and in clothes, whether or not they are top or bottom heavy. It is really up to each individual. There can be two women who are the same height and weight and one can be disgustingly fat and the other can be super hot and s**y.

Answer 12

I am a huge fan of curves.

I think the difference is whether she's "womanly shaped" or not.  For instance, by some standards Botticelli's women were kinda chubby, but they definitely passed muster with me as beautifully voluptuous.

Answer 13

Not sure, but people either seem to say somebody should be skinny with sticking out ribs or very fat, but most people prefer a healthy and strong body that isn't massive or a 6 stone weakling.

I think people talk about curves, as they see so many images in magazines where women have legs so thin their thighs are as skinny as their shins and just because they're not like that and have curves, doesn't make them fat either.

My pharmacist friend said  many men prefer women who naturally have curves, as it shows their body produces more oestrogen than people who are straight up and down so their fat goes to certain places that gives them curves.

I think the trend for very skinny models in fashion is because designers can't make their clothes look good on natural women, and a straight up and down woman is like a coat hanger.

Answer 14

To me voluptuous is a curvy women no matter what. Now there are two kinds of voluptuous women. One is when a women actually has a bone structure that gives her curves. So no matter how much she exercises, those curves will be there. It's fat when its just sitting there and could be exercised off. So basically if you feel your hips and can hold a handful of 'skin' that's actually just a bunch of fat. Now if you can only pinch a bit and if you push down you are able to feel bone or muscle its not fat its just curves.

It can get tricky with b*****s and stomachs so look for cellulite thats an immediate indication that its not a natural curve but one that could be lost with excersise.

Personally, I don't think either is bad. I know girls with naturally big hip bones giving them wide hips with an itsy bitsy waist and i know girls who just have big hips, big stomach, big b*****s etc but maybe could work off some of it if they wanted too.

Anyway both girls are absolutely beautiful and can be considered voluptuous.
