    Curves: Aye or Nay?

    Following some recent discussions on the Forum...

    Twiggy or Marilyn?

    Simply because their names were given as examples.

    Well it would depend on where the curves were and their size.
    Somewhere in between the examples given would be my inclination.

    It's hard to beat Some Like It Hot-era Marilyn (or SLIH in general as a movie).

    As long as 'curves' are actually curves and not a word that deluded people use to excuse their lack of effort in thier health and their looks then curves all the way!

    No... No, just no. None of that swag crap. Nothing about looking and acting like a complete moron is attractive. I'd sooner lay a whale before someone claiming swag.

    I like curves.

    Curves enhance the experience with the play of light and shadow as we race across the supple landscape. Adrenaline rises with anticipation of what lies around each bend; will the route suddenly drop into a valley or end in a box canyon?
    Hairpin curves test the reflexes…a sudden stomp on the clutch and brake while simultaneously jamming the stick into a lower gear.
    A good grip is important especially in regions where curves are known to toss and roll such as those found in California.

    I had never heard of Twiggy before this but I looked her up and personally I prefer her look.

    In general I say no to curves. Fewer curves allows for a more youthful appearance, and if there must be curves then ideally they would be small, gentle, gradual.

    Youth I think enhances beauty. Perhaps this is just because I am young, but I truly find curves unnattractive because they are not youthful.

    This may be a result of personal experience; the best I have known have had only very small curves, but again, we are young, so perhaps there are different expectations.

    I'm with the folks here who think beauty is an inner thing.

    As for looks, who cares, I love 'em all - from Long Tall Sally to Short Fat Fanny.

    I may have used that line once or twice here, so here's a new line:

    I don't think it matters that much. Just curious since the examples were women, don't guys qualify in this? would we use a different word describing men?

    I ask this because my best friend once said that she would never date a guy with a butt.... I guess she meant a big one
