i think thats a very human thing, not just a curvy girl thing, no body likes to hear that negative crap about themselves. Acceptance is , i think, what we all want, with maybe a few sociopathic exceptions.
I love big women, and i get sick of others telling me that my tastes are weird cuz i appreciate women that LOOK like grownups, i konw its a prejudice on my part, to believe that a woman is mature just cuz her body resembles my idea of an adult, but i know what i like, and i feel no shame over it, but i, as a mani find that i cant accept a woman that resembles a little girl. i think a big woman looks sexIER when she gets big hips and a big butt, she looks like a woman i have somehting in common with, mentally, not physically, cuz im a skinny guy, she looks like someone that has matured emotionally and her body reflects that and when her attitude reflects that as well its SUPER sexy. SELF acceptance is worth far more than acceptance from others, but from others is a very needful thing as well. NObody likes to be treated like theyre less of a person just cuz of their body. its wrong. i have my personal tastes but even i dont treat skinny women like their less of a person, i just prefer large women for my company because i find them more attractive in general. I think it can help actually, when a woman is large cuz she has more to deal with, and while it may suck, i think in the long run if they can get over the negative crap others sling at them, it makes for a more worldly person, and if they are HAPPY with themselves as they are and fully accepted who they are , now THATS sexy!

Voluptuous women look as if they might actually *enjoy* sex.
A writer who became famous in the second half of his life and found himself sharing a bed with a young model later described the event as "like having sex with a bicycle." Meaning, all hard edges, no comfort. (At least, that's what I took it to mean.)

I notice starlets on TV and realize why they are regarded as attractive but they never give me the *thrill* that I get from seeing a woman who looks like a woman, especially one who relishes the fullness of her allure.
