As a Pedia for all sorts of Babes, we need an accurate and distinct way to describe the appearance of nearly 30.000 females we already have on a website. One of the first things that come to mind when you describe women is the body type they have.
Right now, under the Add/edit biography – Body information section you can choose one of those:
- Muscular
- Athletic
- Slim
- Average
- Chubby
- BBW
We are open to changing these options if it brings improvement. One could argue the difference between muscular and athletic, or the need to add “curvy” to the list. The could be found numerous charts for body types that are different from ours.
In fact, users find “Curvy” the most attractive of all according to some polls.
Users have fun combining this list with alcohol consumption rates:
Another list suggests defining just by the looks of the hips and the belly. Is “Underweight” and “Slim” the same thing as “Anorexic” and “Boyish” and what sounds better?
The picture below is showing the body fat percentage for women, but not naming the types. How would you title these 9 babes according to their body types?
Which words should we use for describing the body type and which should we not? What should be added to the existing Babepedia body types list? Please let us know down in the comments. This is an important and sensitive topic and we do need your feedback!
I think the first body chart is good for Babepedia but with slim instead of anorexic, BBW instead of fat, and Thicc instead of Chubby since those words offend many.
Think of it this way.
Slim = someone below their BMI(body mass index) without much muscle definition. Just some examples would be Taylor Marie Hill, Emily Ratajkowski.
Boyish = small chest with a petite body. Natalie Portman, Kiera Knightley, Kendall Jenner
Fit = Someone in shape with some minor muscle definition. Brooklyn Decker, Nata Lee
Average = The average body that is line with their height and weight without much muscle definition. Scarlett Johansson, Julia Rose, Kendra Sunderland
Curvy = Bust and hips are similar. Kim Kardashian, Abi Ratchford, Kate Upton
Thicc = The model is Curvy but also thick in areas like the mid-section, thighs, etc. Alexis Texas, Phoenix Marie, Ashley Barbie, Alura Jenson
Athletic = Model is fit but also has more muscle definition. Lana Rhodes, Francia James, Paige Van Zant.
Muscular = Model is bulky with clearly defined muscles. Melissa Dettwiller, Yvette Bova
BBW = Model greatly exceeds their BMI.
I forgot to add examples for BBW would be Sofia Rose, Julie Cash
This is a great topic. But maybe it should be promoted on the front page? The blog isn’t often checked. Many probably don’t know there is a blog. Promoting the blog on the front of the site would bring more discusion to blog posts like the idea tab is generating on the front page.
I forgot to also add Pettite. In the porn world they are also called Spinners. They don’t really fit into Fit or Slim since part of their Body Type is about being smaller. And they don’t weigh enough to be Curvy or Thicc. Think Ariana Grande, Juli Anne, etc.
I like the first list. Just change some names cause they aren’t PC. Anorexic = Slim. Fat = BBW. Chubby = Thick or however it is spelled in english. Dump Supersized cause no one wants to see that.
I totally agree but in case of curvy the internet is messed up. If you search curvy on Google instead of women with fit body with curves you get extremely fat and obese women photos. It’s annoying to watch them actually. Is there any other term to exactly find heathy women with curves
Chubby should be changed to Thick. Petite should also be added.
I like curvy as a descriptor ‘cos it’s positive, but the search problem noted above is significant. Fit-and-curvy might fit “hourglass” better. Since I started doing a few posts I’ve noticed some pretty interesting descriptors online: “voluptuous” is a favorite since to me it means Loni or Pamela Anderson vs., say, Camryn Mannheim. Another interesting choice was “banana,” which I’m still trying to properly visualize. (Slim or slimmish, I assume)
May pop back with more as they occur to me.
As for Petite, it might fit another classic body type: TWIGGY. Although I’d class her more as Slim.
There has to be a way for it to be objective, not subjective. For example, these are currently shown:
Name Height (inches) Weight (lbs) BMI Listed Body Type
Davin Lexen 65 130 21.63 Average
Jade Luv 65 130 21.63 Slim
Priyanka Karki 65 130 21.63 Chubby
It looks like it’s up to whomever to make the suggestion, which is pretty unreliable. TBH, I don’t have a tried-and-true method, but I wanted to raise the point that even when limited to a handful of choices, the views are wildly skewed. I mean, you could use a BMI scale with, for example, Average – Slim, Average, and Average – Curvy (or something like that). I know BMI is not the most reliable descriptor, but at least there is some sort of calculation, not just someone’s PoV. Just throwing it out there as an alternate point of discussion
