Well she is hot for sure. I would call her petite but it is hard to gauge her height so if she is 5'10" then I would not call her petite, but hot for sure.

For me petite does not mean short with a huge ass.

Yes, most petite girls are shorter but a tall chick can be petite as well.

Merriam Webster Definition-having a small and thin body. Operative word "thin".

So tired of ads claiming to be petite and then look at the pics and they appear to have two beach balls stuffed in their pants where their ass should be.  

Can't wait. Have at it

So many adds that say spinner and still do not fit the description.

4 11" and 125 lbs is hardly what I would call a spinner. A woman of that size could however be accurately called "petite".

I have seen women 5' 7" and 135 lbs calling themselves "spinners" however, and at that height and weight, a woman is neither petite or a spinner.

Personally I think the cut off for being considered a spinner is about 5' 5" in height or about 110 lbs in weight. Any woman taller or heavier than that really cant' be considered a spinner IMHO

It's 4'9" to 5'5" 95lbs to 120lbs. small build type of body. Height and weight are proportionate.

When define petite this also means tiny and tiny can mean short as well. When I see petite that can apply to anyone that is short or skinny so someone could be short and curvy but that is still considered petite which is why really thin ladies use the word spinner because everyone knows spinner means thin.

Petite can be used to different ways. Even when you look at the actual definition.  
If you are looking for someone that is thin just look for the word spinner.

Thanks for break down about petite and thin.

She could be short and a size 0 or 16, she's still petite.  

Kim Kardashian is petite: barely over 5ft and claiming to be a size 2... but probably a 4.  

All descriptive terms are subjective.   AND subjected to overuse, misuse, and just plain abuse.  ;-

I am not looking for any word or any specific type of woman. You do understand the word subjective...right?

running into ads and becoming more disappointed so I am just sharing some knowledge on this subject. I am just saying that petite can mean two different things. Some people get confused so I'm just stating facts.

First off, I am not disappointed in any way. I see a wide range of women. Second, at what point did your word become the gospel or "fact". Where does your knowledge come from other than your own opinion? Come out of the closet and quit hiding behind an alias.

And as far as "short with a huge ass," it depends on exactly how huge and if the ass is the only thing that's "huge." A big bubble butt could be deemed huge if it is a prominent feature.

And petite has something more to do with the overall frame. It can be athletic and toned instead of slender, thin, or skinny in order of degree. But there is a point where a short stature can be heavy enough to be "stubby" and even a little more heavy to be "fat." Not many pros advertise themselves as stubby or fat.

That's how I see it.

Tonight, I agree with both of you.  

IMHO Petite is both short in stature AND slim in build. I can't imagine calling a 5' 11" 135lb women "petite" any more than I would call a little porker who was 4' 11" but also 135 lbs petite either.

..she is described as a spinner. I go to the club and see a chunky 4'11' girl. Many seem to have begun to use "spinner" and "petite" as meaning simply "short" with no indication that it should also mean thin with small boobs & butt.

I agree with what seems to be the consensus so far. For me petite is about 5'6" or less, 125 lbs or less, with height and weight proportional. So a 5' 150lb woman would not be petite to me even though she might shop in the petite section for clothing. I must confess I tend to favor the petite woman, but I have met many sexy and beautiful larger and curvy women as well. But as OP said I hate when a provider advertises as petite and then weighs as much as I do.

I think of an overall compactness. Shorter, along with a smaller than average shape. It's not just about fat or thin, but the bodily structure. If a person is short and thin, but has shoulders like a linebacker, I don't think "petite".

I, too, feel like "petite" is frequently misused. My most recent review describes "ultra-petite" for a provider who is 5'8" tall. For me, petite applies to 30 or 32 bra sizes - irrespective of cup, and irrespective of height. Apparently, the market disagrees with us. More recently than that review, my ATF contacted me about doing a double with a petite new provider. I resisted the temptation & later met the provider, who *is* quite short, but is anything but petite by my definition. I'm guessing 34D or 36C, short of pulling out the tape measure - and she has a most substantial set of hips. My ATF remains my ATF, I can hardly penalize her for a term meaning something drastically different for me & for her.

But yeah, I agree, you've got it right & everybody else has it wrong.

Although I can imagine a slender built 5'8"/120 poind-ish woman advertising as petite.  I've always thought petite was more of a description dealing with the waistline.  

 
P.S. What's wrong with a huge ass???

There is nothing wrong with a huge ass. Just don't call yourself petite.

Are we talking Jada Stevens? Cause I would consider her petite, but she does have a huge ass.

Petite women are usually described as tiny lil packages who's body parts are typically in proportion. h x l x w lol

I have never heard of a tall petite woman tho lol. I'm not sure that exists.

Looking at the photos on your website I would agree that you are petite. I guess I don't know your height but if you advertised as petite I sure wouldn't feel deceived. You have some nice curves but fit in that petite category which is awesome!

Thank you ;)
5'1 115lbs

If you do go by clothing, then petite is generally for people who are well shorter than average...In my head, I just think about tiny ballerinas; short, and slim. But I guess you can be a plus sized petite as well

she was 5'6", but probably no more than 105 lbs.
She hated petite because it made her sound short.
That was 30 years ago, I still agree.

Short. Not heavy.
I've often remarked that petite , busty catches my eye.

Never thought of someone over 5'5" as petite no mater how thin they might be.

Not sure if my definition is definitive but certainly reflects my way of thinking.

It might help to know how petite compares to what? Small? Tiny?  

I'm 6'3, and 5'2/110 and under is what I consider petite ...  
5' and less, under 100 lbs ... my name is Joe and I'm a spinnaholic

I'm not petite & I'm proud of it!!!!

To me, all spinners are petite but all petite women are not spinners.

Considered between 5"-5'5" (although it used to be 5'4") and size 0/2.  

Jennifer Aniston is a 0/2. Kardashian has a size 4 waist but because of her ample hips and derriΓ¨re wears a 10 and has it taken in to fit her waist. At 5'2" that's on the heaftier side.  

The average American woman wears a size 14 and 5'4".  

But petite in the fashion industry as far as consumer goods does indicate height and not weight

Pretty much all her features have to be small for me to consdider a female petite.

A lady that is 5-2, and lightly built. None of the ladies I see fit this...most are buxom, and taller than me.  At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.  Connect with the ladies, and the fun never ends...

Petite means overall tiny. Maybe not by Webster.  My sister is petite. 5'4" 102 lbs.

I am a petite size in shirts, and juniors (teen size) jeans, don't consider myself petite though.

To me it means tiny (short - small boned) and very thin.

I'm tall, 5'8", thin and all legs.... πŸ˜‰

All subjective

There are some lovely other parts.

petite is shorter, but height weight proportional.  This years Big Brother contestant Natalie (sans the fake boobs) is a perfect example.
