Chubby vs. Thick? The Difference?

So I've been called chubby and I've been called thick. So, I guess like the title says what's the difference? If there is a difference what do people prefer?

Alright, then if girls who are chubby have fat then what's the difference between chubby and fat? Like is there a weight limit or something?

  • Thick, chubby, big boned, and fat are all completely different in my opinion because I have been all of them except obese and skinny.

    Skinny- Short or tall skinny is under weight and you can see that their joints will be more prominent. (knees, elbows, facial structure, hands, ets.)
    Thin or Average- The body short or tall, with average size frame is proportioned to the standard of what their size should be. No excess anywhere.
    Big boned- Body is still thin or average size in weight but frame is much larger than standard in height or actual bone size or mass.
    Thick- Tall or short, big frame or small frame you have a little more meat on your bones. Could be curvy in certain place, could have certain features that are accentuated such as breasts, butt, hips, or thighs but everything is still toned.
    Chubby- Your thick with some extra weight might have a little flab on the arm, stomach, thighs, face, etc.
    Fat- May or may not have a little bit of a shape, may or may not be larger in size overall but main point is body is flabby in most areas of the body. You can be on the smaller side and be completely flabby everywhere. I have seen this with the weight loss surgeries, In a nut shell, everything jiggles.
    Obese- Way too much weight everywhere, no shape at all.

    Technically according to the official standards anyone over 20lbs is obese. I am talking about the visual social standards.

  • i feel like chubby is a little bit of extra weight all-around, but thick is like you got big thighs and a big ass, maybe even a big rack, but you don't have a chubby stomach or anything. I used to get called thick all the time (i have a big ass AND a big rack, but not a lot of weight in the middle) and people would say that to me as a compliment, like it was a good thing to be thick.

  • Chubby is like flabby and thick is like toned and sexy looking. It's not about a weight limit. Chubby is like rolls and it's kinda gross looking whereas thick is like sexy and hot. Sometimes chubby and fat girls try to say they're thick when really they're just chubby and fat

  • The difference between chubby and fat is I guess in the eye of the beholder. But to me, chubby is just not as toned or a bit of a belly or love handles. Fat is when the girl has no figure and it looks like she let herself go. Fat is a lot of what shouldn't be there and in the wrong spots. There is still a sexy shape to thick or chubby girls, fat girls it gets out of hand and there is no sexy shape to them. But guys still love fat girls.

    Here's examples:

    I hope this helps.

    • Oh, alright yeah, it helps seeing pictures...yeah, my mother is like HUGE, but my dad loved it, so I guess it's all about preference

    • according to those pics its as if your saying almost all the girls who call themselves fat aren't even close.. makes me wonder if we girls know what's fat and what's not :/

    • Well I picked over exaggerated pics of fatness just to show the difference easier. There's definitely different views of fat or how different fat is from chubbiness. Some people don't see any difference because they want either skinny girls or Barbie. Fat is, I think, someone that is not within their desired correct weight. But that depends on what your age/height/athletic levels are. So someone that is chubby could be overweight for their body type. But looks wise they may still look good

  • I believe thick is that you can be bigger, but it's more muscular or firm, but it's bigger. Like thighs are thick, but not necessarily fat, just very muscular, but sexy.

    Chubby means that you look a little bigger around the mid-drift and other areas, but not necessarily muscular. More on the fatter side.

    Usually black guys, when they say a "thicky-thick" girl, it means she has some really nice curves and is a sexier, bigger woman. Chubby usually refers to bigger girls that are not as toned. But are still very sexy and attractive.

    • This comment is black guy approved.

    • @MrMysteryMan That's makes a lot of sense thanks =^_^= @Blaxican619 Lmmfao...wow

    • No prob. But I have to say, you'll probably get the "thick" comment from the black folk more and the "chubby" comment from everyone else. This is generally speaking. There are exceptions.

  • I think chubby and thick are the same, fat is a more extreme version of the two.

    i.e. in my view, obese and fat seem to be the same and chubby/thick is if you are a little overweight. some people just look better with a bit of chub anyway.

    it's all opinion though really, if you were to follow it to the book and many bmi charts, then simply having a bmi of over 26 = overweight/fat.

  • The difference is how much he likes it. If he's calls it thick, he's into it; I've never heard a guy use the word and be into skinny girls.

  • I didn't know there was a difference. If there is it isn't much, I guess if you're chubby you have excess fat and thick means it's all pretty evenly proportioned around you. *shrugs

  • It depends from person to person, but I guess when I think of "chubby" I think of a girl who isn't exactly 'fat' but just just thick in shape. I view thick as a girl who is a little thicker in places like thighs, hips etc like chubby except the difference would be she would be a little more toned

  • Thick is if you have a thick body but no body fat. Chubby is if you have fat.

    • This is correct.
