When a lady describes herself using one of these words...What thoughts immediately come to your mind.

A bigger girl, but not fat or soft. Strong.
Average-
If she describes herself this way, what pops into my head is that she's a bit overweight, but not much. Probably doesn't even need to lose weight to be attractive from a stereotypical perspective. Either that or she's slender but not at all in shape. Soft, maybe even flabby in the middle. Perhaps with skinnier arms and or legs.
In shape-
I don't really hear or see this often, but "fit" is one i do see used often, and it's one of the 2 that really catches my eye as a superficial male chauvinist pig. "Fit" to me is someone who is on the slender side, can make a discernible bicep, and has no real flabbiness to her, while still maintaining her femininity.
Voluptuous-
BBW-
Pretty inter-related and rather self explanatory i think.
Spinner-
Skinny. Either in a good way or a bad way, but skinny.
Solid-
Another one i don't hear or see much, so i really don't have an opinion on what to expect when it
is used.
What about Petite? Which is the 2nd descriptive term that never fails to catch my eye - while also being the most incorrectly used, at least from what i think it to mean. When i hear "petite", i think "small" even "tiny", which means more than just "short". It's of a subtle nature, but i do think there's even a difference between "short and thin" and "tiny". Like with the term "obscenity", i can't describe it, but i know it when i see it.
