Two part question, would a lady prefer to be described as Voluptuous or Curvaceous? Second part, Would the guys rather hear that a lady is Voluptuous or Curvaceous?

...on dark rye with a sour dill.  Or my sour dill.

for overweight.  Can't 2006 be the year we all start telling the truth?

I'm middle-aged, overweight and my thinning hair is going gray.  and yet, i'm sooo f*-ing lovable.

Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch were both voluptuous and curvaceous, but they were not rubenesque.

I prefer curvacious myself...

these two words dont necessarily imply a woman is overweight though.

. . . I'd rather not see a lady with that description.

They both pretty much mean the same thing and have the same weight as far as which is more preferable in my opinion.  I prefer and have used the term Voluptuous more, or I say I am "full-figured". I don't know, for some reason, when I hear the word "rubenesque" I think big white woman..doesn't seem to really apply to me.

Het, non-PC guy -- is that sizism?  for shame?

I was at an overnight seminar in Cleveland and wanted some company.  I asked for a large breasted woman, but got a lot more than I bargain for; about 200 lbs more.  I didn't even know what to do with her but figured, what the heck, always open to something new.  Since then, I haven't looked back.
Try it once, or you'll never know the joys.

. . . as I am 137.5 lbs as of this morning.

voluptuous and curvaceous......They still are!

Get over it and grow up.  Yes, I'll stoop to your level and use an alias too.

It doesn't matter what they are called.  I absolutely love heavier women.   For me the ideal size is 16-18 but will definately go up to 24/26.  Nothing like the soft skin and tenderness.

very yummy to me

Neither - I consider either to be a euphemism for overweight.

with all due respect, Raquel Welch doesn't (and never did) hold a candle to the luminous lovely essential femininity of Sophia Loren.  For me Sophia epitomizes a classic female beauty.  There's a bi-coastal brunette provider (AvaLynne, NY_WashDC and SF)) who, IMHO, has that same essential feminine beauty, strength and softness.

F*ck no woman whose ass is bigger than yours. It will save all the excuses. Big woman, big pussy; in most cases.

...just stating that both were curvaceous but not rubenesque.

One rule: fuck...no...adore!...any woman who is kind enough to endure me and my myriad of physical and character flaws.

:p

Ignore these cretins, ladies. I love you all!

MMike,
Sorry, but you deserve no respect for actually uttering the phrase "Raquel Welch doesn't (and never did) hold a candle to...".  You're entitled to your opinion regarding the lovely Sophia Loren, but dissing Raquel (I mean, you even went parenthetical on us) the way you did is just wrong!!!  Raquel Rules!!!

BTW, thanks for the pic, Lex.  I rest my case.

Amazing! with an alias "Hands free" you don't like a woman with an ass bigger than yours?

Do you have a link this AvaLynne, I did not find her on a search.

Inexperience clearly shows in some people. The size of a woman’s waist has no bearing on the size of her genitals. I have been with some anorexic looking ladies whom I would have bet I could put my whole head in, and don’t mean little Achilles.

In fact, I find no correlaton to ass size versus pussy tightness.  There is also only a mild correlation to pussy tightness and overall satisfaction.
I see a lot of voluptuous women, as well as slender.

vociferous bunch aren't we?

In an age where obesity is a plague, it's easy to assume the worst of such terms.  One of the most curvaceous ladies I know stands at 5'7" and is 105 pounds.  A lady could also be voluptuous and be well within her proper weight.  

Rubenesque is usually a euphemism.

I believe that Rubenesque creates a most attractive vision in my mind....but all three terms are pretty much say the same thing and say it in a nice way!  And after all, that is what I am!!!  

Sweet kisses,
Elisabeth

Been there, after careful placement of beer goggles.  I know what I like, and that's for me to be the fat one at the date.

sounds like my kind of girl

...about rebenesque.

Besides, I don't care what a lady calls herself -- if she can smile and pretend like she thinks I'm hot for an hour or two, that's good enough for me.

She doesn't have a website as far as I know, she just posts local board when she's travelling to an area.  Email contact only. You may email me [[email protected]] for her contact info; I think she's in NYNY right now.

I always thought Raquel had a smokin' hot body, don't get me wrong.  But IMO Sophia Loren exudes true sensuality, and she has an intellectual appreciation for being a woman and things carnal. In contrast Raquel W., IMHO, always seemed not too bright.  But I'm not saying I'd ever refuse her offer...

...Sophia definitely knew how to take her natural sexiness and run with it.

However, I think you might be confusing "not too bright" with "reall, really bad actress". Heck, until Natalie Portman came along, Raquel might have had a shot at being the worst actress of all time.

Times have changed.  This is interesting not only about Marilyn, but the way we view obesity, average weight, perfect weight, etc. as the years go by.

I survived it and I'm about the same weight as you are.  You can be on the top you know.

When I started this thread, I was afraid it would be a dud. I never thought it have this much reaction.
Thanks for chimming in.

you meant "indubitability."
