See, to me, Marilyn Monroe is thick, but Janet Jackson is NOT. I think Janet Jackson is thin--but she has big tits. So some people will refer to her as "curvy"--when the only "curves" she has on her are her tits and hip bones...the rest is sheer muscle. I'm not saying that's ugly, I'm just saying that doesn't seem "thick" to me...


Hey now... Janet's size and shape varies smile

In Diff'rent strokes, she was about average. In "Nasty" and "What Have U Done For Me Lately" she was just plain fat. In "When I Think of You" she was gargantuan. In "Pleasure Principle" and "Rhythm Nation" she was skinny. In "Janet" she was curvaceous and sexy, and from "Velvet Rope" to present day I'd say she's curvy not thin. She has some great curves! Not that I noticed, ahem.


I bet that during the times you think she was "fat", she was probably within the height/weight proportionate scale, medically. It would be interesting to find that out, cause I think she only looks "fat" or "gargantuan" when you compare her to how she is now. Obviously, the physical trend for women from the 80s to now is to be much, much more muscular and buff. She got a personal trainer and got in shape, obviously. But, hell, if you call muscles "curves", then, yes, she's verrry curvy.

Again, I say what you're calling curves on Janet are boobs (implants) and hip bones smile

Ok, now this is bugging me, lol...will someone try to explain to me what "thick" means, with regards to a female body?

Maybe it's all personal perspective--just like what is "attractive" to one person is not to another...maybe what is "thick" to one man or woman is "skinny" or "fat" to another...? After all, there are no doctors or scientific measurements to deem what "thick" is, are there? smile


I agree with you, but in this case, the term "thick" is used widely amongst today's culture, and they are talking about a certain type of female body...

Where the HELL is theC, rdhull, and BAD when I need them!

biggrin


In other words, you need some black men's definitions of the word, not mine or ian's or AbucahX (although I think he's black). But don't you think that even between them, they might have some discrepancies about what is "thick"? They might agree on the generalities, and could point to or name some celebrities who fit the typical definition--but in real life, I bet they'd have some disagreements.


I needed the input from other men who used the term thick on this thread.

neutral


Like i said earlier, for me it is basically a thickness below the waist. A girl can be considered thick and still have very small breasts or upper half as a whole. Janet is borderline thick, because of the thick legs she carries.

Not at all. Go dig up the Control video. In "When I Think of You" she was just plain fat. She looked thoroughly unhealthy. That was not the right weight for her by any stretch of the imagination.

Nowadays she is very fit, but her thighs, arse etc still have nice curves to them. She's curvy to my eyes.

thick means that she's packing much back...

we're not talking enormous, but you're not worried about breaking her in half...

she got something you can sink your teeth into...

curves like a rollercoaster...

a little cushion for the pushin'... so, you don't bruise yourself when you're hitting from behind...

thick is nice...

Man, sorry but this "thick" phrase is a bullshit term because none of you are using it consistently smile So I won't use it, coz I don't really have a good feel for its meaning.

Anyway - Janet in "Nasty" was fat - and she lost the weight for the "Pleasure Principle" video. There's a huge difference between the two videos. I agree that she was skinny in the Rhythm Nation era (including "Love Will Never Do") but she gained a bit of healthy weight (and muscle, as AnotherLover2 rightly pointed out) from the "Janet" album onwards.

My understanding of "thick" has always been a woman w/ a great, curvy, healthy body (i.e. not slim or skinny, ample ass & thighs). Sometimes the brothas call a woman "thick" to indicate the body is a 10 biggrin but the face is a 2 whofarted, making her fuckable but not dateable. If the face is nice, a woman could be described as "fine & thick," huge emphasis on AND, as if it's rare. Usage varies, but it's mostly a description of the body, IMO...

But I thought as long as you have an ass as big as Janet's (i.e. you couldn't get rid of it if you starved yourself for a year) you were considered "thick" confused

generally, if i say a girl is think, the fine part is implied and assumed... a girl whose face is a 2 doesn't get thick... she might get "that girl got an alright, body and all, but damn that face has got to go"... but i save thick for fine women...

she's got a thick ass and thighs... yeah, she can be thick...


thick can come in different varieties... sometimes, a girl is only thick in the ass... sometimes the thighs... sometimes, she got curves all over... it all depends...

To me, if a girl is thick, she isn't obese, but she isn't ideal either.

I am thin, so I am attracted to girls who are at least as slim as i am.

So is "thick" supposed to be a good thing, then? I think most girls would probably be offended by the term, as it suggests that they need to lose some weight...
