For Discussion: BBW's and Fat Attraction

[eyer]

I don't know about all this bullcrap re: blubber, but...

...I would like to point out the public service some gals here do.

When I was a kid, you had to pay a quarter @ the carnival to see the fat, tatooed lady...

 

[vrosej10]

Men hit on you? seriously?

Of course! Why wouldn't they? I am smart and confident; my weight has always mattered little when it came to the menfolk.

 

[eyer]

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

Is that why the GB Grrrls call you "Scooter"?

Scooter? Why I hardly know her.

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

You are seven kinds of idiot Lance.

That picture was not me. It was my favourite poet, Sharon Olds, which I have already told a number of people. It was posted in response to another poet.

I am still talking about my wonderful husband and like every married woman on earth, I still get hit on. I was talking about my child because it came up. The diseases are part of my day to day life.

You're reaching and you know it.

ALL married women on Earth get hit on?
Really?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Thank you for agreeing.

Yeah, right...

 

[blunt_trauma]

Yeah, right...

love my wibbly bits.

 

[Byron In Exile]

love my wibbly bits.

I will, but presently I'm coveting your feet.

 

[blunt_trauma]

silly you!

 

[honeylick]

I think that has more to do with my moped.

my fat ass is crying out for your vespa.

Ok, I should have been more specific but most of us still do. Funny thing is, my husband's skinny, pretty, booby ex never did but she has a nasty personality. I am far less attractive than her but I have stacks of men interested.

clearly his brains are made of wood, too.

You're being kind.

I'm not sure if your son's football team counts.

A thread about fat American women and the men who find them attractive.

Questions for Discussion:

Men: Do you find fat women physically attractive?

Women: Do you enjoy being fat?

Discussion Notes:

"Big Beautiful Women"

The term "BBW" was coined in 1979 by American Carole Shaw as the hook behind a magazine she wanted to start aimed at "plus-sized" (fat) women.

Fat women have always been considered abnormal and unattractive. Further, there is plenty of scientific evidence linking obesity in women to a range of psychological and physical health issues.

A previously under-served "taboo" market, fat American women devoured the positively-biased BBW Magazine, making Carole Shaw quite successful and giving advertisers of products geared towards obese women a new vehicle to reach the appetites of their consumers.

The term "BBW" caught on and nowadays most fat women don't even know the term is a magazine.

Over 30% of all adult American women are obese, the highest rate of obesity in the world.

If you look only at American women over 35, the rate is over 65%.

Fat Attraction

A 2009 study found that male fat admirers preferred females that were clinically overweight and rated both overweight and obese women more positively than slighter individuals.

The study concluded that "these findings suggest that an explanation for fat admiration may be that FAs are rejecting sociocultural norms of attractiveness"

So, we have men with abnormal desires who are attracted to women with abnormal behavioral patterns.

Fat Attraction & Obesity as Fetish

At some point, these abnormal desires take on a life of their own.

Fat fetishism is the strong or exclusive sexual attraction to overweight or obese people.

As well as traditional attraction, the topic also incorporates "feederism," where sexual gratification is obtained via the process of gaining body fat.

Graph

This graph shows the attraction of abnormal men to abnormally fat women. Though FA is primarily male to female, there are also normal sized women who find fat men attractive, though in smaller numbers.

The name-calling by vrose, kowbell and chipbutt is regretable, though to be expected.

Let's get back on track and please stop trying to make this thread yet another platform for your grade-school name-calling.

Thanks.

Lean with the bike!

 

[Saint Peter]

Excellent summation.

Thank you.

This is an important health issue, one facing over half the non-tranny women on the GB, so it deserves serious discussion.

So, what you're saying is that academic research is primarily bullshit, produced by bullshitters....like for example your university researcher friend Kybele?

Academic research is always subject to bullshit. every idiot knows this. researchers are inherently biased and frequently are unable to acknowledge that, which leads to rather skewed data and consequently analysis. Just like your bias resulted in you not even being able to analyse the idiot's analysis in a pop psych mag.

The name-calling by vrose, kowbell and chipbutt is regretable, though to be expected.

Let's get back on track and please stop trying to make this thread yet another platform for your grade-school name-calling.

Thanks.

I haven't called you a name. I have only challenged the fact that you are misinterpreting data. I'm assuming it is willful misinterpretation, because surely even you can't be that stupid.

 

[Saint Peter]

Thank you.

Yes.

Hold on. Half of the non-trannies?

My algebra books says you cannot divide by zero. The calculus kinda disagrees with that, in a sneaky round about math way, but for the sake of discussion, how can you crunch those numbers when we are all men here?

Except AJ. He is a little pussy.

 

[Lancecastor]

About half the "women" here are men, and about 60% of the actual women are fat, so that means maybe 20% of the female-named posters are actual healthy females.

There are usually between 60-90 people on the GB at any given time, so that means 6-9 are healthy women.

Capiche?

Do you enjoy being as bored as you actually are?

There are millions of threads on the Lit Forums, but yet you are here, complaining?

That, silly goose...is boring.

Look at the numbers for this thread....responses and views.

My threads usually run at 10 views per response, higher than any thread you or the others like you will ever start.

People lie....numbers don't.

My threads are amongst the most-read in Lit History.

The numbers prove it.

You may commence fucking off....now.

 

[blunt_trauma]

could still use some more T&A though.

All in good time. we need to get some Spring Cleaning done around here first though.

You let it get too polarized while I was gone....one half spouting american political bullshit, the other half playing kissy face about each other's avs.
