Since I was about 15, my figure has been appreciated much more by black guys than white. I have a small upper body, little waist, and what I always considered a fat butt and thighs. However, my black boyfriend explained that neither he nor most young black men see it as fat; it is just a nice, healthy “thickness.”
He also explained to me four the basic levels of body mass – “skinny,” which is unattractively thin, “slim,” which is just that: Slender but not unnattractive, “thick,” which is above slender but “with extra in the right places,” and “fat,” which unfortunately is unnattractively overweight. He says the extra flesh is a bonus if you carry it well. I guess you do!
