The possibility of causing offence on this thread is immense!!! No comment!
okay.... well if you look at the latest statistics for the average uk woman... she is 5ft 6 tall and a size 16...she is apparently has a 36c bust as well..but i have not felt enough handfuls to judge so i know enough people who consider themselves to be a BBW when they are in fact either ... or just above ms average...
very much about how people persieve themselves.....

We didn't mean to cause offence by what we said - we just meant that giving a broad guideline for what is "big" could potentially upset people who are less confident about themselves - approximately 80% of the country!
So sorry if we caused offence - it was not meant, it was just an observation.

Well a few of my close mates ( and occasional fuck buddies lol ) are bigger than average and it makes no difference as to whether they are more or less sexy than a thin lady. I prefer personallity above looks anyway and most of a womans sexuality is in the brain.
Thats how I feel but must admit that I prefer ladies with a good shape too skinny and i'm scared that i'd break them being 6ft2 and 19 st lol.
Davie :shock:
It's still used incorrectly - big does not necessarily mean beautiful.
lets be honest, women who describe themselves "BBW" just mean they are happy and cofindent with their size. There is also an element of honesty to this as well, its not about an assumption they (or I !) or automaticatly beautifull
I have known 'big' women and I have known 'thin' women but the thing that does it for me is proportion - if a person is proportionate then I tend to look past whether they have just a large belly or big legs/ass etc... If there is a good strong personaility present too it is then that I find a woman sexy.
Given a choice, I would probably opt for a woman who is a size 10-12 ..... less than that I find them too skinny, more than that, too large.... but that is my preference and I am entitled to it.
I find it such a shame that women who are large have to use an euphemism - BBW - in order to feel comfortable with their shape.... maybe a reason for this is because the media are always telling us that obesity is a bad thing and newspapers are full of one diet or another on any given day.... But then I don't like being pigeon-holed myself, the only stereotype of me........... is me!
See your point Ice....
Generally very confident with my size and all that comes with it, but I WOULD draw attention to it very pointedly on occasion if I felt it might be a problem for the other party. I don't really use the term myself but can see it's used generally as a description.
Maybe the second B could stand for 'busty.' (Thought it did tbh.)

Here's what I don't understand about all this labelling thing: Do beautiful people assume I won't know they're beautiful unless they tell me? Do they think telling me will influence my opinion? I just don't see the point of anyone indulging in self-praise unless it's to bully people into their preferred way of thinking.
What was a BBW's favourite musical instrument at school?
