Men who love BBWs

Why Do Men Like Fat Women?

Haha! You read it correctly; it's just funny that this is still a mystery to some folks out in mainstream society. I saw the question posed online at the WikiAnswer message board.

I decided to weigh in on this and post my detailed response ("A BBW-lover responds...") on their answer board. I let 'em have it with both barrels. I really find this rewarding - emotionally satisfying. Anti-fat bigotry is so patently false and dishonest in spirit that it's becoming harder and harder to uphold.

Who knows where the question on the message board came from. It could've been a plant from a pro-BBW activist, or it could've been a confused/nervous post from a female thin-supremacist who is getting a little rattled.

I prefer to think it came from the latter.

As more and more questions like this circulate online, people's irrational prejudices start to crumble along with their hypocrisy. You can't keep insisting "fat chicks" are wrong, offensive, gross, etc. when attractive, slender, pleasant, nice men insist on dating them and marrying them. Or when Oprah's diet helps her morph from world's most popular BBW into another "skinny chick in jeans," only to see the "lost" weight come right back several months later. If a motivated, driven billionaire can't keep the pounds off, then how is Ms. Supermarket Clerk or Ms. Accountant on Main Street, USA supposed to manage the task?

This is how we beat back anti-fat bigotry - one uncomfortable question at a time. The forces arrayed against us are powerful. There is a billion dollar market for special lo-cal dieter's food, Jenny Craig weight-loss programs, lap-band surgery, gym memberships, etc. These folks have been riding the wave of female weight-anxiety and self-loathing all the way to the bank. They won't want to see this gravy train stop.

But we can beat them! We all have to do our little part.
