| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:18:58 AM | | i've been an admirer of bbw's since i was a teenager, i love the fuller figured woman, soft female curves really do it for me. i've been teased about it off other men, and from women to, to the point that for a long time i wouldn't admit being attracted to larger ladies. now i'm 37 and no longer care what other people think, but i can understand why other men might not follow thier desires because of social pressure. have you ever experienced this yourself? | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:24:17 AM | Plus sized women are beautiful.
And what kind of woman you find attractive is not really anyone else's business.
If your friends had any kind of real maturity,they wouldn't make fun of you about your preference in women.
Glad to see you don't let it bother you anymore. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:37:22 AM | Yes, I've been given some crap for this too.
I wouldn't say I am neccessarily into BBW, but I don't mind if a girl has some curves on her, I think it can be kinda sexy too. But there's one group of friends that have known me for years, that think they know my taste in women, and pretty much describe me as being into fat chicks, lol (more to break my balls than anything else, really) . What's even sillier than your case, is the majority of these women aren't fat by any means. Having to lose 20lbs is not fat, IMO. And even though they are kidding for the most part, they have ridiculous standards for what a woman's body should be like, and a very narrow appreciation of different body types (sorry, but there's more out there than just "rail thin"). | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:43:38 AM | ^^juju^^ I'm not a man, but I do believe that that type of attitudes / prejudices that you have described are much more prevalant than not... I'm sure that there are people out there who will stay away from certain sizes/religions/races, etc based on getting slack from others... I'm glad that you now date who YOU want to, and not who your peeps think you should. I find it odd that ADULTS, be it man or women would tease you about such things. That is very unfortunate.. I wish you lots of luck!!! JJ  | |

very well said mr kevinmach sir
i don't just like bbw's, i like women of all sizes, although i'm not attracted to the very thin catwalk model type body at all. it's time all men started to see the beauty in a soft curvy womans body and stop letting society tell him what is sexy and what isn't | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:45:50 AM | That's terrible to tease you about something like that. It's rude to you, and it shows that your friends and acquaintances have really narrow minded viewpoints. Good for you for pursuing whoever you like.
I have experienced prejudice because of physical characteristics of women I prefer, but not from my friends. Good luck to you!

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 8:50:40 AM | everyone has their own preferences.. to be teased for them, just shows up negative qualities in the character of the "teasers" rather than being disparaging toward the "teaser-ee"... imo..
(hehehe teaseree, teaserah... sounds like a song... )

Sorry, but this is simply objectification of women, and it's offensive. | |

then i apologise to you sir. if me thinking a womans body is beautiful then i am truly sorry. i also apologise on behalf of all the great artists throughout time who thought the same thing
You're entitled to any preference you like. It's not a question of whether a particular body shape is appealing to you or not. It's reducing women to a sexual object (regardless of shape) that's offensive
a) not once did i mention sex b)if i had mentioned sex then i think mentioning sexual attraction to a females body in a forum dedictated to sex and dating would have been perfectly acceptable c)the thread topic is about being teased for being attracted to larger ladies, that is the topic for discussion, not my motives or reasons for thinking a womans body is beautiful. you are bordering on flaming and thread hijacking
People should be able to date whoever they want, but there is a difference between curvy and BBW
i totaly agree with you, and people should be allowed to be attracted to who they like with feeling any pressure about what other people think is acceptable | |

For years i used to be ashamed for what i looked like, for my size, but i realized one thing.. I am a good person, i have a huge heart and a awesome personality ( if i should be so bold to say) and if someone can not look past what i look like on the outside and get to know my heart and soul, then they are missing out on a wonderful thing, and i have no use nor time for them.... Their loss not mine...
It's not their loss. Would you date a man that you think is unattractive? Probably not. A relationship without at least some mutual physical attraction probably wouldn't work out. There is a difference between not being attracted to BBWs and making fun of BBWs. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:17:26 AM | | Everybody has there thing and there are people who will not understand it. It is impressive to see a man stand up and say "this is what does it for me". Good for you. I think all of us should be free to be attracted to who we are attracted to regardless of thick, thin, short, tall, color ect.... The biggest problem comes when people attach value judgements to a person based on physical characteristics. If someones not into BBW's cool. No problem. I'll go my own way and you go yours. I only have a problem when we lose the politeness just because something doesn't attract us particularly. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:20:33 AM | Thank you juju for your post .... i am a bbw and almost all my life i have been teased for it.. my sister, who is the total opposite used to tease me all the time as we were growing up... as my profile says, i call myself fluffy... i never try to hide the fact that i'm not " thin as a rail" as someone said here.. yes, i would love to change that about myself, but i can't do it over night...

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:21:16 AM | | I know in my real life that MOST men prefer non-skinny women. They LOOK at the models, but want to feel the curvier (normal) ones. In fact, sometimes it's hard to lost weight because the guy is telling you NOT to. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:23:32 AM |

why should it be you who has to change? why can't societies values change instead? you deserve to be loved for the person you are | |

I don't think it's offensive for the OP to discuss what he is physically attracted to by any stretch of the imagination. It *might* be offensive if that was saying that all he was interested in was physical appearance or if that was the only type of womsn he would date, but I don't see evidence of that here.
It's no different that saying you like blondes, blue eyes, or girls preferring taller guys. We're all have certain types that we're attracted to, there's no point in denying that. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:24:58 AM | | Who are they to tell you what to like? phuc em and feed em green cheese. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 9:32:52 AM | i totally agree.. Society has put so much emphasis on the " perfect model" size. but this has been happening for years..
i truly believe before anyone can find true happiness and love, they first have to be happy with themselves and love themselves... everyone has flaws, no one is perfect.. before you judge my flaws, look at your own flaws and judge them.... | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 10:16:24 AM | Ahhhhh....but there's a difference between BBW and Morbidly Obese (key word-thought being 'morbid'). I've met women who advertised themselves as A few Pounds Over and had pics to support it, only to arrive and find they couldn't step up from the road to the curb without getting winded.
BBW (IMHO) must imply a degree of health...of a willingness and capability to engage in activities at a minimum being something the exertion equivalent of a lengthy walk.
Of course, for the middle 'B' to be valid, they also must have a confidence factor in themselves...be comfortable in their own skin...to not dwell on the negatives. | |

| Teased for liking bbw's Posted: 1/15/2008 10:19:55 AM | BIG WOMEN NEED LOVE TOO.
Everyone has a preference to what they are attracted to, why should you be judged on your preference. I think if people are teasing you, and this bothers you, then maybe that says something about you? Honestly people have taught us not to care what other people think about yourself, so why care, just move on and get over it. | |

I always wonder what people think when they do things like this. Like, hmmmm, he's not going to notice or care that your pictures are ten years or 100lbs ago? Trust me ladies, nobody wants to deal with a bait and switch situation. I claim every one of my years and my lbs. Be proud of who you are. I don't seem to have any problem finding great men and I'm well over "more than a few lbs overweight". This is one of those things that drives me nuts. And fellas, the same goes for you. Dont' send me a picture of your studly self at 25 with a six pack and a full head of hair if you are 35 and sportin a keger and comb over now.. Be proud of who you are now, regardless of who that is. It'll get you a lot farther in life. | |

To each their own. I think it's normal for friends to tease each other about the members of the opposite sex they pick out to be with. You just happen to have something you like that's easy to tease you about. | |
