Curvy

Caution: Dangerous Curves
They don’t call them “dangerous curves” for nothing – especially when they are well-placed on the female form. So clear the runways of their gangly, stick figured counterparts and make room for the most sensuous women of all – the big, the bold, the truly beautiful and altogether captivating curvaceous woman.
When you explore curvy versus skinny – is there really a debate here? Let’s face it, in order to enjoy something, it has to be present first. Skinny represents an overall absence or void of something – specifically when there’s more skin than flesh (thus the well-known expression comes to mind, “she’s all skin and bones”). However, a curvy figure can invoke the imagination like no other – it can ignite the beauty of shape and form – commanding the attention of even the most casual observer.
• Voluptuous Women Are Attractive
A voluptuous woman is attractive for many reasons. Her curves bring a softness to the landscape of her body. Physical contact is anticipated as comfortable, warm and inviting.
Even more attractive is the confident, full-figured female who is not shamed of her God-given endowments. While making an effort not to be “over-exposed” or cheaply adorned, the right clothing can accentuate the lines of her body. Sweaters are finely fitted to her form; dresses reveal the symmetry of her top and bottom proportions – while her jeans almost always address a casual style of poetry in motion.
The allure of womanly curves has continued to fascinate men over the ages. Old world master painters also saw beauty and life in the well-rounded female body and they immortalized these exquisite creatures on canvas like no other with style and grace.
• Sexy Doesn't Have a Size Boundary
Does curvy mean overweight? Absolutely not. Does sexy have a size boundary? Not necessarily. Curvy and sexy can be a beautiful body which is well packaged in many sizes, shapes and forms. Above all, curvy is not sloppy and it certainly does not have to be unhealthy.
• Gorgeous Curvy Women
Take a moment to consider this: Marilyn Monroe, Salma Hayek, Catherine Zeta Jones, Jessica Alba – each of these women are considered beautiful by many people’s standards (by both men and women alike). Though popular in different eras, all of these women have one thing in common – each of these luscious ladies sport highly attractive and forever memorable “dangerous curves.” Close your eyes, picture each of them in your mind, follow the curves of their bodies – certainly there is no debate here.

Skinny

I really think curvy can be cute when it is not too much and if the behind is not hat big because some clothing make women with this specific shape do not look elegant. Overall I find skinny is more appealing( IF it is no so skinny), because it is usually more stylish and elegant..
I came up to the conclusion that average looking people have a great good thing on their(our) side, what is that? Well, when people are great looking the tendency is that when they get older they will have harder time to deal with the changes in their look and since those beautiful looking individuals were or are so into to have people looking their beauty and any where they go in special women, it must to be difficult to deal with the fact that it will change or is changing. Of course if the person is spiritual and have things in mind that are deeper that the looks then they will not have this issue or the impact of the changes with the years will be less strong.
For most of people(average looking) changes will occur but since the focus of the life was not on the cover then the difficult to deal with that will be less strong. Amazing!
Our society it super worried with looks, and indeed looks call attention, but would be nice if since we were small children someone would start to teach us about the things that are really meaninfull in life? Things such a good spiritual base faith, family, education, to respect your neighbor, do not do with other what you would not like people doing to you...instead to put kids in beauty competitions (which is not a good idea by the way) parents should try to change this small mind set and focus in the things that will really matter in their children's life, things that are important if the person is either 5 or 95 years old.
Most people don't realize that the best age to or maybe the real good time to help shape a child's personality is when they are not teenagers, so many good things can come up from a child with a good family base, the potential is great, so many problems is society could be avoided if children had the smart approach, with good examples! People should get themselves educated about been a parent, it is one responsability to be tthere for the child!
