What most people will find once they enter the online dating circus is that you need to fill in your "stats". Of course, this sounds very simple. You start out with your hair and eye color, then your height...then the damn site will ask you for your "body type". Depending on what site you're on, it will give you a limited number of choices. Apparently dating websites only think there are six different types of bodies in the world. Let's see now, there's "average", "slim", "athletic", "jacked", "curvy", and a "few extra". This my friends, is where the problems lies. Not with any of the other body types, although "jacked" screams Ed Hardy douche bag, but I digress.
Now, most people will describe themselves as "average" or "athletic". Well, most guys will. Girls on the other hand are infamous for misleading men with the words they choose to describe their bodies. Especially the girls that describe themselves as "curvy".
Are you paying attention, kiddos? I'm about to give you some pearls here. (If you don't know what that means, you should stop reading now. That means I'm going to give you some pearls of wisdom).
Back to my rant. You have these women that say they are "curvy", when in fact curvy was about 75-100lbs ago. Granted, I like to call myself fluffy because I don't have the boobs to call myself curvy, but I do have the hips, butt, and not huge waist to do so. Why do I get irritated with these girls calling themselves "curvy"? Well, because guys now associate curvy with fat and obese. When that is not the case. Curvy is Marilyn Monroe, not the mother from Here Comes Honey BooBoo.
How can you tell if you come across one of these imposters of the curvy description? By their pictures! Look at the angles they use. Rule of thumb, my noobs, the higher the angle the bigger the person. If they can't take a picture straight on, they probably have a few extra pounds.
I know I'm sounding really harsh, but this does irritate me. You don't know how many times I've been told, "Oh, I thought you were going to be huge because you said you were curvy" or "I'm sorry I'm not into big women". Now I'm not saying that women above the scale of curvy are hideous, because they are not. There are many big beautiful women that are simply gorgeous and there are many men out there that love a big woman. Granted many won't admit it, because society dictates that as unacceptable, but that's another topic to blog about.
I guess my general point to this blog post is, don't be ashamed of saying what you're actual body type is. Embrace it, own it and please ladies stop lying about it! You too men, a lot of you are not "jacked" but puffy. But again, that's another topic for a different blog post.
