Here is another cultural difference I have found. In England if someone tells you that you are thick you want to punch them in their face because they are calling you stupid.
Well in Dominica if someone calls you thick its a compliment. It means you are a strong and well made woman! A thick woman isn’t fat and she isn’t skinny either – she is voluptuous but not overly so.
The leader as an example of a wonderful thick woman has to be Queen Latifah. She is everything a thick woman should be. Beautiful and curved in all the right places.
On a walk from the Anchorage Hotel to Roseau I heard a man call out to me and say
“Boy, I don’t usually like thick woman but you are looking so sexy I had to say something to you this morning!”
I was so embarrased I nearly tripped over a stone I didn’t see
So ladies, while you are walking the streets of Dominica if a man tells you he thinks you are thick (not to be confused with fit but I guess close) know that he thinks you are wonderful!
