What annoys me about it is the "let's bash the fatties / social welfare recipients / travellers / etc " threads that pop up here on a regular basis.

They are the type of threads that just make me think... "for the love of God, will you please just shut the fuck up?"

That's a nice trick you used to print the word fuck! One would think you are only giving out so you have the chance to use it

Well, if their gorgeous mate actually fancied you, it wouldn't make any difference.

Now I'm not attacking anybody for been overweight and don't really consider it any of my business. However, I cannot help but comment on the increasing use of "bbw", or "big beautiful women" by many overweight women to describe themselves, particularly when it comes to looking for men. No offence, but anybody who is overweight, male or female, is not only in an unhealthy state, but is also generally considered (perhaps unfairly) to be unattractive by the opposite sex when it comes to dating.

I have never, once heard an overweight man refer to himself as a "big handsome man". Most seem to just accept that they are overweight and either laugh about it, or decide to lose to access weight. However a lot of overweight women seem to be living in a fantasy world were "to be big is to be beautiful". When on earth did been overweight and unhealthy become associated in the minds of many women with beauty and attractiveness to the opposite sex. Even worse is the cocky and arrogant bbw's, as if they weren't at enough of a disadvantage when it came to dating already!

bbw's are disguisting...

Yeah, Jayne Mansfield was busty and had booty but her measurements were 40-21-35 when she appeared in Playboy putting her bottom half at only about size 6 to size 8, not feckin' size 16/18!

EDIT: I have heard overweight men described themselves as cuddly and loveable.

Yeah. In American sizes. Hips 36 is an Irish size 14.

There's an awful, awful lot of poison in this thread, and I came away from it feeling a lot worse about myself, despite being a healthy weight for my height. Would you not just let people be happy in themselves and get on with your life without nasty comments, all of you? Wow.

Nope, it's not. According to the A-Wear website, 36" hips correlate to an Irish/UK size 8:

I find it hard to see an extremely obese woman's body shape in terms of pear, cello, hourglass, apple etc.
I have a good hip to waist ratio so that would make me a pear although I have the larger arms of an apple and narrow thighs. Men should appreciate those natural qualities and not look for a body that is so under or over weight that they are manipulated, why can't you get turned on by a body unless its meeting your type, maybe thats just me I don't have a body type I look for in partners.

sometimes I come across these weight loss videos on youtube through some of the vlogs i follow and I see a lot of the come on baby thats so sexy only 66 pounds to go until the "Big 250!!!"

Now go ahead watch BBW porn find that sexy whatever but its such a turn off to me that someone isn't chilled out, or over enthusiastic, obsessive over one body aesthetic


don't get the women who make youtube videos "stuffing" themselves, a lot of the time thin ladies binging for attention off these guys.

It's not fancying a bbw that bothers me its the obsessive and controlling elements of it,
and the issue of being a feeder and wanting to be dominant over another person scares the hell out of me.

I don't understand what this discussion is about? This is obvious that it is hard to find obese person attractive, we usually think healthy people are sexy and this is normal and right.
-but I think there is just as many ugly and sexy overweight girls as skinny or slim. Sure this is not true every slim girl is pretty or attractive, some just have ugly faces, disproportionate bodies, bad teeth or something else.. It is all about proportions and healthy looking skin, hair, nice eyes and face..

This is top model Anja Rubik :



-does she look sexy in your opinion? I think she looks very unhealthy and her face looks like skull/

She is size 14 and she would be called fat by many :






I think beauty is not about size but few different things (including good taste and personality)

The girl in the second picture is fat, there is no question. Shes at least a stone and a half overweight.Whatever you want to believe about being healthy, people are not designed to carry that much excess weight on them and its purely a product of the comfortable environment we live in and the rubbish we eat and drink.

Her arms would put most mens arms to shame ffs.

edit, you are also 100% right about the other model aswell, who is clearly underweight by the same amount, neither is particularly healthy.

Yeeeah... so after re-examining some of the posts on this thread I'm gonna have to say there is perhaps some sexism behind this.
There are just as many fat and obese men but no one seems to bitch about them, and there are plenty of fat men convinced they're god's gift to womankind.
In fact the media is far more accepting of fat men than they are of women, just look at the likes of Seth Rogen in Knocked up, do you think they'd ever dream of casting an overweight woman as a lead in the average film? (without the movie being directly about her weight). People set far more restrictive standards of looks when it comes to women.
Sorry I had to bring up gender, but the OP did specifically target women, so it was inevitable.

Hmm, I am almost her size (my legs are much slimmer) and I NEVER eat or drink any rubbish - I use my bike to get to work, I walk my dog at least 1 and half hour a day. I am 170cm height and I weight almost 75kg, so ideallly I should lost 10kg, but I know I just look good and I am healthy.

The idea that what men find sexually attractive in terms of body shape is determined by the trend at a particular time is a myth that I'd imagine is perpetuated by the same women that describe themselves as BBW etc.

I often here people trying to spin the 'toned fit bodies being attractive is a creation of modern media' type stuff and it's simply not true.

Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love and Beauty in ancient Greek mythology, the epitome of female sexiness. Check out how she was depicted in sculptures, look at those abs on the Venus de Milo, that was sculpted 2200 years ago.

Two things:

1 - I'm not convinced that there's been enough evolutionary pressures on specific body types to produce a specific attractive female weight in male eyes. For it to happen, the women who didn't meet that body type would have had to meet with little to no reproductive success.

2 - If evolutionary pressures were strong enough to produce a reproductively critical preference in terms of female body shape, I'd assume that it'd tend towards heaviness, as in a small tribal society (where those pressures would be most likely to exist) a woman with a tendency to put on weight easily would be more reproductively successful due to getting more calories from the same amount of food and storing it for potential pregnancy.

its interesting that we don't see fatness as attractive but we don't. The signalling that women are fertile is hip to waist ratio.

Some women are naturally big and busty with big hips, boobs ass etc. They are not necessarily fat, it's just their build, same way as some fellas are well built and naturally bulky

Personally, I absolute love a girl who has a bit of meat on her, not massively overweight or anything but a busty gal with big thighs really does it for me!

I have literally no idea what point you're trying to make with that first response. Are you agreeing/disagreeing/other?

And as for the second part, there's a fairly mild preference for a hip-to-waist ratio of 0.7, but certainly not very strong - and that's only among Indo-Europeans. It doesn't seem as though there's a single body type that we can point to as being "ideal" from an evolutionary point of view, and that's before we consider the cultural baggage of attractiveness - which shouldn't be underestimated.

As somebody mentioned before, different people have different body build. Do you think BMI is some perfect messure? How about the proportions between muscles and fat? I actually have some muscles, especially on legs -so how you can say I am less healthy then I for example my friend who is the same height and weights 46kg ? She can run slower then me and has some heart pains from time to time and no energy at all (plus she is pale, has dull hair and skin -but her BMI is perfect!
