    So nothing. It doesn't bother me. I just find the way people talk about it interesting. They like women with "curves." Or "real women."

    I'd hate to see how many pages this thread would be if it DID bother you.

    Euphemisms bother me. Ashley Graham doesn't bother me.

    Would it bother me if Mrs. Whitman progressed to Ashley Graham's size? Sure, it would. Although she'd have to grow six inches to get there. Others, of course, wouldn't find Mrs. Whitman to their liking. They'd be stupid, of course. But I recognize they exist.

    So, you won't be happy until all of us call her a big fat fatty? Or, is this just an elaborate humblebrag?

    I think Ashley Graham is beautiful. By most accounts, she's a good person with a good head on her shoulders, too. And yes, she's "curvier" than your average supermodel, because she's got more raw material to work with. BFD.

    I don't think she's a big fat fatty. I think she's a few pounds overweight and that some posters like that. Whatever floats their boat.

    Eh, no they don't.

    If you think some people are unnecessarily shallow in their thinking, address that.

    Thanks for the clarification, Carnac.

    You are now the board's resident moral compass, and its soothsayer.

    He's always been the moral compass. The mind-reading component is new.

    You're the one who wants the word "curves" banished, and I'm the moralist?

    If you want a personal Pravda for all your controlling, passive-aggressive
    posts, you're not gonna get from me.
