11 Things Curvy Girls Are Tired Of Hearing

Women in general have many stereotypes against them, especially when it comes to body shape.

I've been curvy since puberty hit me. One day I was flat chested like everyone else and the next BAM, two large melons sprouted from my chest.

Normally, when we think of curvy, we think of a big chest, butt, hips - the whole nine yards. But being curvy is a generalized word for an array of bodies. Women in general have many stereotypes against them, especially when it comes to body shape. You're either too big or too small, too curvy or too thin. It's a no-win situation. Being a curvy woman, I hear the same things across the board.

When talking to other curvy women about it, these are things that we're all tired of hearing:

1. We're tired of being told that we shouldn't wear certain things


If we aren't supposed to wear them, why were they made in our side? I'm sorry you're uncomfortable seeing me fill out an outfit. And if certain clothes don't come in our size, we will forever give you the stink eye for not letting us live our lives in your cute clothes.

2. We're tired of being told that we should leave crop top to thinner girls

Again, it was made in my size and it fits, so I'm wearing it. I love me a crop top and I'm going to wear it when I please...on my days off of work.

3. We're tired of being told we should lose weight

How does being curvy instantly make us fat? Why is it okay for you to make us feel bad about our bodies that we live in constantly? Our bodies are our own for life. We love them.

4. We're tired of being shamed for our rolls, curves or thunder thighs

My rolls were given to me by the delicious things know as fries. Sorry to upset you with them, but my fry addiction isn't going anywhere

5.Speaking of thunder thighs, we're tired of being told that we need to have a thigh gap

News flash: anyone can get a thigh gap by gently pushing their pelvis back and slightly parting their legs. Genius invention for the perfect insta photo.

6. We're tired of being told that we're not your type of woman

Just so you know, my curves are a lot to handle and only the strongest people have been able to. I guess you know what that means. Try lifting some weights.

7. We're tired of feeling like we're not good enough for society because we don't look like a Victoria's Secret model

Have you ever looked into the strict diets those ladies have to go through? No thanks, I'll stick with my fries.

8. When it's swimsuit season, we're tired of being told that we should stick to one piece swimsuits

Last time I checked, I could wear whatever swimsuit I was comfortable in, whether it be bikini, tankini, monokini, or whatever other kinis there are. If I'm comfortable enough to be out in public in one of my many kinis, you should be too. Please don't walk over to me and speak to me about it. I will not respond.

9. We're tired of having the hardest time finding pants that fit every part of our curves

Um, excuse me, what? It says in your brand description that your pants fit all shapes and sizes, yet I'm sitting here jumping like a kangaroo trying to fit in your pants. When we do find pants that fit, we have to buy more than one pair because it won't be long until the first pair rip at the seams.

10. We're tired of being told that a dress or long shirt over our leggings because we're making others around us uncomfortable

Excuse me Debra, who told you I was making them uncomfortable? Was it John over there? Well, you can tell him that there's a place for pervs: it's called jail. You can go visit him with your six cats, Debra.

11. And please don't tell us that we need a bigger size when you see us in a dress

Again, I'm sorry you're uncomfortable with my butt looking like it's too big in this dress that is actually my size. I already know I have to constantly check to see if my butt is sticking out, you don't need to tell me Debra! Go feed your cats.


All jokes aside, being a woman in this world is hard. There's always a Debra or a John waiting around the corner to criticize you for being the lovely woman that you are, whether you're curvy or not. I've never dealt with the skinny side but I bet it sucks just as much. We're women and we should stick together. We should let these societal standards be a means of judgment as to who is worthy or not of being beautiful. You, Sir John and Madam Debra, don't have to believe that curvy is beautiful, but I sure do!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
