    slim is like, hipbones poking out skinny. slender looks relatively normal, but still leans toward skinny. fit and athletic are pretty much the same, maybe the person isn't as skinny as the slender and slim crowd, but looks like more muscle than fat. thick is someone who isn't fat, but is just naturally not skinny. a few extra pounds is like someone who was thinner and then gained some weight in the tummy area, etc.

    personally though, i don't think a person's appearance should matter as much as their personality.

    i dont know i am probably voluptous, but i find those criteria insulting to those that dont fit into some cathegories.. it is another way of making *** people feel bad about their size
