I am female and I agree with you-there was a photo in another article of that model they are referring to in this article-she is not curvy in any sense of the word-she is just plain fat-like a heifer in leggings cruising the aisles in Walmart fat...
Kate Upton doesn’t look fat-she just needs to do some crunches and leg lifts to pull that midriff and belly in. Being slender, small boned and flat chested I used to be soooo envious of women with the big boobs and real hips, etc-until I got old, that is-working out with weights I’m able to have nice strong arms, a flat midriff and be braless-women my age with the kind of body I used to envy are mostly carrying around a good 20 pounds or more of excess fat and wearing harness bras-it appears that the thinner, less feminine shape ages a bit better-not sure if that is a matter of hormones, genetics, diet, exercise or combination of some/all...
I was skinny. Stick skinny. 5’9” and weighed 112. Couldn’t put on a pound if I ate the whole buffet. And I loved it because I never had to worry about eating or exercise. I’m still pretty slim compared to the heifers around me but a crapload of steroids when I had cancer while going through menopause messed up my metabolism. I’ve never wanted to be curvy or have boobs. I liked being able to wear whatever I wanted comfortably.
