Guys or Gals: would you date a BBW?

Post Reply New Topic

A bit of both. Mainly muscle but I like a layer of fat over the top. Kinda like a builder who likes to go for a pie and a pint every night after work.

I don't mean someone who just wastes the day away eating cakes and trolling the Internet getting more and more fat and wobbly until they can't get out of their armchair.

Sure. I mean, it's not a kink for me. I don't look for it. On a purely aesthetic level it doesn't do much for me, just as super skinny doesn't either. I like curves.

I did once have an instant animal attraction to a larger woman who I was talking to at a hi-fi convention I was at for work. She was a rep for, Pioneer I think. I don't know what it was about her, I just immediately wanted to take her somewhere private and make my feelings known. No idea if it was reciprocated.

I've known a few men who have a definite preference for large ladies.

Ive never been attracted to fat woman, slightly chubby maybe, but never fat. That's probably my number 1 turnoff.

Yeah I would date one but only to a limit. Sadly the public perception of BBW's is this......https://www.google.com/search?q=bbw&prmd=vinx&sxsrf=AOaemvJgzeUQYnDqWpSlnz5UEbpRcO_DGg:1635594492996&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjR6oCmiPLzAhUgRUEAHScbCYQQ_AUoAnoECAMQAg&biw=412&bih=784&dpr=1.75 which is just morbid obesity and extremely unhealthy.

I consider a BBW as anyone who is larger than average and not to the extent as those pictures. When someone is that huge they are certainly big, but not beautiful.

Yes I agree but only because I would be concerned about the health of a person. If they was fat and healthy then I wouldn't have a problem.

I wouldn't be just concerned about the health implications. If I were to get with someone morbidly obese, I would have concerns about how others would view me. Hooking up with someone morbidly obese gives off a vibe of desperation.

The above aside, I would also be concerned about self control extending beyond food. The way I see it, if a fully grown adult can't control themselves in McDonalds then I wouldn't give them control over my finances even if they're my girlfriend.

For me the ones below 20% are the only ones that look really unattractive. I don't like abs.

Pretty sad to be deciding who to date based on what others think of you.

I would think the same though.

Probably a lot of people would feel that way whether they are men or women. One of my ex's was embarrassed by me because I looked under age (even though I was 25). The same guy happened to think that a woman was fat if you couldn't see her ribcage.

To be honest though you also have a point about the self control aspect. I'd have the same problem with someone who had no self restraint.

Many who see self destructive gluttony probably think the same as I do. People don't end up morbidly obese overnight and instead have a long history of extremely poor self control.

Another thing I find interesting is that well educated people are often stunners who look after their bodies. Some of the best looking people I have ever seen in my life have also had some of the most impressive education.

I think very broadly speaking, people who have genuine interest in their own personal development have a tendency to avoid shoveling copiously excessive calories down their mouths.

My preference is for average sized or slimmer women, but as long as I have at least some level of physical attraction towards someone, I'd be open to dating them. Past the point that one is carrying a little extra weight, the bigger they are, the less likely that the physical attraction is going to be there, but it's going to be variable based on other physical attributes.

Do you find smokers equally unattractive?

It's poor self control which is a unattractive trait in my eyes but physically there is no real distinction. I don't find smokers remotely as unattractive as morbidly obese people. Smokers usually just have a bad habit, morbidly obese people have a bad habit and bad looks.

Would, have. (shrug)

I would say the 20% - the 45%, excluding the 25% one, are attractive.

Something is wrong the 25% one, she doesn't look right?

All of that said, I would never date a woman. I like, ahem, male anatomy......



They are too busy studying to be eating all the time

(Sort of true, when I first started uni I often forgot to eat meals )
