Why do women here describe overweight as curvy?

@skyisthelimit: "Likewise, being 'overweight' you might not have any major problems
until you die, but you are increasing your chances by like 1000%" This sounds a lot like you are saying that being overweight increases your chances of dying. First, I think that you confusing the concept of metabolic syndrome with being overweight which are not the same. Second, death is assured in all people.

@Strongeye: "curvy the ways its suppose to mean." Do you mean to say the way that you feel its supposed to mean. I think that if you use any dictionary and applied the definition to body shapes, women are curvy, overweight or not. Perhaps you are confused by the marketing use of the term which is used to sell clothing to larger women.

One thing I would like to add is that this thread was started by someone who has since either deleted his profile or who has been banned from the site. He had a reputation of being rude and saying things to rile people up which is exactly what's happened in this thread so well done @snugglesymmetry In all honesty regarding everything in this post.... Who cares.

I didn't say it increases your chances of dying, I said you are increasing your probability of having major problems (like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, other inflammatory diseases). Of course death is assured in all people, nobody is arguing that.
How can having so much excess fat be any good for any reason? It weighs down on your whole system. Bears fatten up specifically for hibernation purposes. Excess body fat is meant for fuel, it's a survival instinct. With our diets now, with an abundance of food, and people eating like grazing animals, snacking all day long....the body just keeps storing on fat, to burn for later. Except, it doesn't get burned....a slim fit person doesn't need as much food as some 'overweight' person, even a muscular body builder eats way too much food. You will NEVER see a muscular bodybuilder living past like 100 years age....why? Because if he/she lives their life that long, they will die way before that, if they are carrying around so much extra fat/muscle.
The more food you eat, the more toxins, the more stress it puts on your digestive system...and like they say, all diseases start from the gut. That's because the gut is what releases pre-cursors to hormones, in fact, 95% of the serotonin is made in the gut. All the people that live a long life, you will observe that they are lean and fit.
