when is curvy FAT!   I've seen ladies list their body type as curvy and turn out to be very nice looking...maybe a little thick but still HWP (height/weight proportional), and then I see them as Fluffy as Gabriel Iglesias.  I do get the subtleties of the overhead downward seflie, and all the other tricks, but still.

I plan to email SA and suggest they include HWP as a body type. Maybe if those of you so like minded did the same we could save some time.  

This morning I saw a profile where the lady listed her body type as AVERAGE, and I swear she must have been Refrigerator Perry's sister.

"Curvy" is such a misused catch all category that I usually just don't include it. BUT, occasionally, maybe one out of twenty times, you'll come across a pic in which the woman is really athletic, but has a figure, so they'll put "curvy". So, good to check once in awhile...

On TER, Athletic can mean anything from a lithe "dancers body" to a member of the Bulgarian weight lifting team. On SA, Curvy "can be" a slim girl with big tits. (my favorite) or it can mean just FAT.  

 
Because of this,  the only two categories I filter out completely in my searches are " a few extra pounds" and "full/overweight", but I am VERY aware that "other" and "curvy" are usually synonymous with FAT. lol

I ask for a bikini pic. It has saved me many times.

and the pictures are not revealing, the woman is being as intentionally deceptive as guys who lie about their age, marital status, or financial condition. Curvy is ambiguous, but the pictures should tell the rest of the story.
