Men, if you like curvy women, if thicker women are your type, and if you appreciate a fuller-figure—that’s great! But men need to stop thinking that dating and loving thicker women entitles them to make assumptions about them, or gives them the right to decide what is a compliment and what isn’t. If a woman tells you something was an insult, then it was. A lot of men who date thicker women are shocked when they’re told they can’t say this or that about women with curves. They’ll say things like, “Hey, at least I don’t only date model-thin women like most guys!”—as if they deserve a damned award for it. Thick women don’t want or need your pity affection, gentlemen. Here are things men need to stop saying to and about thick women.
“Models should look more like you”
There is no one way models should look. It’s exactly that type of thinking that made anorexia so prevalent in the fashion world. More models should look like more real people, and real people are thin, thick, obese, average, curvy, athletic—you name it. Also, don’t assume every woman wishes she looked like a model.
