When you hear BBW, what do you think?

Well, you do have a nice tan. No lines even.

I'm saying that sometimes the pictures don't give the whole story, and rather than thinking 'oh, they'll see it from the pictures', that BBW's will state it in the profile, instead of relying on the viewer just seeing the pictures. In the beginning, I thought it was pretty damn obvious that I'm black just from the pictures, but apparently not....and the same could be said of some BBW's. A BBW may not be very big looking in the photos, but could really surprise someone when they step up to another couple's table to meet up. See, it's bananas and bananas.....

Yes, yes we do.


It's apparent that BBW means a lot of different things to different people. I've seen women I thought were anything but a BBW describe themselves as such and women with "aprons" describe themselves as "athletic".

As some have stated, it's often how the weight is distributed, what it's made of, how it's carried, and what the attitude is that goes with it. So, basically, if you figure the person is anywhere near your "strike zone" you need to meet them in person and figure it out for yourself on a case by case basis.

Amen, brother. That was my point exactly.

That has to be the best response I have heard on the subject. Very nice.

BBW--Big, beautiful woman. Ideally, a woman who is confident in her belief that she does not conform to society's idea of a traditionally beautiful woman (an idea that is her own as well!) Beauty also doesn't have to mean aesthetic beauty--it can mean an air of confidence, a beautiful mind, a way with words...

That's exactly why I say in my profile that I'm a BBW.

And Hemera, if I could figure out how to quote two people in one post, I'd quote you here too.

I don't list my weight on my profile. Number one, I have only a general idea of what my weight is. Number two, it's nobody's business. My pics are accurate and up to date, and if that's not enough information, folks are welcome to just move right along. ROFL, if you're picking swinging partners by the number of pounds in their weight, well, I don't want to play with you anyway then. "Gee, I'm sorry, lady. You are 3 pounds over my limit, I'm gonna have to toss you back."

BBW is just shorthand - no less accurate than HWP. I'm irritated more by HWP - for pete's sake, we're ALL height and weight proportionate. It's just a larger proportion for some of us

Being a larger woman is going to eliminate us from some playlists, and that's ok. We've all got deal-breakers. Being smokers eliminates us from some; our ages eliminate us from some. We find it saves time and energy to get those known deal-breakers up front.

When I see BBW, I figure that she is overweight by at least 60ish pounds. I also figure that she looks good.

Well now, I am a BBW. I haven't put pictures up yet cause I am new here and just haven't figured out the pic thing yet. I put BBW because I am big. I will not put my weight in pounds(or kilograms) because I feel I do not look like I weigh as much as I do. I am comfortable with my looks. Don't get me wrong, I am working to lose weight, but I feel I am beautiful none the less. I put BBW so that others are aware that I am heavy. I know that some people are looking for "Barbie" and I accept that knocks me off their list and that is fine by me. Everyone has different views of what they find attractive. I have seen some "skinny" people that I do not find attractive, and others do. Same with heavy people. I am 5'4'' , long curly red hair, blue-gray eyes, big boobs, and a beautiful smile. I have an awesome personality but I am heavy. When I see BBW, I still check out the profile and my hubby does the same. I think that people put that just to let others know that they are heavy and if they are looking for Barbie and Ken not to look there. I feel that putting BBW is aleast being honest.
just my 2 cents worth

When I hear BBW I think... "Oh my god I'm gonna' have a good time!"

I was using BBW in my ad as a sort of generic term, just to let people know that I'm a big gal. Though I do think I'm boootiful, or well, at least cute! I have rethought this though & think I'm going to change mine to BBBBBW Big Bootied Big Breasted Beautiful Woman and damn the consequences!
