Lee464: He's full of sh**...and you're buying it...
Under all the psychological bullsh** is our instinct...and our instinct tells us to go for the best possible mother to ensure the survival of our children...that's baseline stuff.
Actually what is baseline is that people chose people who are the most like them. This could mean attractiveness or it could mean personlity but we are most comfortable with people who remind us of us. This is a theory, just like men are more visual than women, is a theory. In actuality the research is split on that theory as well. I know because I spent two years researching emotion and visual capture theory.
Your argument which seems very intelligent at first reading made me pause and start being curious about something you said. If men chose women based on survival of their children, why would they chose someone who is stick thin and attractive? Wouldn't you want women who are sturdy, with wide hips, and large breasts? That would be a better standard for ensuring survival of offspring. Also intelligence would factor wouldn't it? Stupid does not last long in the survival game.
Of course, I think the whole post was meant to demean the OP as well as other posts I have read. Maybe some of us aren't tiny women but we are not any less deserving of love.
I do not believe all do..... for me I love bbw's...... size is not an issue.....I do believe there are a lot of men who will not date a sweet, beautiful lady because of size.......they are afraid of what there friends would think. ...... also there is preference. ......and I am sure you have some.......

Oh my...you couldn't be more wrong...
"people choose people who are most like themselves"
Please...this is true of emotionally healthy people of which maybe 10% of the worlds population might be. The rest are suffering from countless emotional issues and are more likely to be found searching for people who they believe have something they lack...see the popularity of the quote from the movie Toby Maguire for evidence..."you complete me".
Your second point speaks to your lack of imagination...you're thinking too locally to get what I meant...
The best mother would be the healthiest mother...where the hell did I say that meant "sick skinny" your words not mine. Overweight is not healthy...thin is not healthy...please learn to read.
Intelligence...exactly...so what kind of indicator of intelligence is a person who doesn't know when to stop eating or that exercise is important for health? wouldn't an intelligent person realize the dangers of obesity? Would intelligence not help a person understand that if one does not control ones appetite that more rigorous exercise is needed to maintain health?

Of course you do...your pic can tell us that mate...no surprize there...
To Lee: I would quote you but it takes too much space. BTW, I can read very well thank you. I see your point and understood exactly what you wrote. I think you misunderstood and misread what I wrote. I didn't say sick skinny I said stick thin. Very different. Also, can you tell me how I am thinking locally? I was thinking more primal drive. Anyway, not going to argue with you as there would be almost no point. Neither one of us are going to change our opinion. I must have touched a nerve. I thought we were debating not personally attacking.

sarahbera2c: well im a bbw and i just felt i should ask this... so plz answer it
Some ppl are obese because they really love food & never workout, others are overweight/obese due to other factors e.g. genetics or birth control (in my case) and its not really fair to generalise every1. In saying that, of course every1 is entitled to their own opinions and preferences. I kno a few guy friends that love BBW.. they say..the bigger the better so to answer Sarah who started this poll.. not ALL men are into BBW but there is definitely a market dear! I go for more physically active guys as that would encourage me to continue my exercise plans,and I'd feel that if I'm putting a certain amount of work into trying to look good that i would expect the same effort of my partner, its only fair. Whats a really big turn off for most ppl I'd say is laziness.. sometimes you see ppl (men & women, big & small) who are really lazy and not bothered to even go out for a stroll and would just much prefer sitting in front of a tv all day long ordering for take-away, not even arsed to get up and cook themselves a half decent meal.

I like older and the ladys with more to thier body then being thin or boney. To me I wish find a gal that is to me average size then thin. What call average is woman that wiegh more then 135lbs.
Howdy--hey I just wanted to add this into the mix, for what it's worth: Are you aware that there are several lawsuits or suit proposals here that would hold a specific fast-food restaurant liable for health problems relating to customers? Now, I find this totally inappropriate. (only because it begs the question, "Where would it all end"?) Growing up in a health-conscious household which included daily jogging, calisthenics, yogurt/sprout/nuts, etc... diet; I constantly listened to my parents berate overweight people, and I mean QUITE discourteously, have to admit I had a not-so-nice outlook. Overweight people know they are overweight, and most are sobbing silently. It's a terrible problem, hard to fix (but I believe it is usually fixable), and we forget that people have hearts and feelings. That said, fat is not "fit", and it isn't attractive. Sorry...but everyone knows that's true.

I a short man...and honestly I don't have a hang-up over the size of a woman, especially since my ex wife was bbw. (and no she is not my ex because of her size) Just now I am in the phase of my life where I want to try some different menu choices...
ContraryCol: No,big women simply jusy do not do it for me! But at the same time I know that there are many men that do like big women. So,good luck to everyone.
all depends which part fits nice n snug? limmassol? arsinoe, polynesia, cant bloody spell missus lived there! just up from garage! ian and sue? jock bar!
Let me put it another way. For me it's like ordering a delicious piece of cheese cake. When the waitress brings a much large piece that expected...it means more..allot more...yum..yum...yummy!!
my first wife was about 160 something when i met her, then shot up to 230 something. my second was about ninety (five foot tall, she wasn't a skeleton)
the major problem i had with my first wife's weight was the major problem SHE had with her weight. it affected her self esteem, and made her assume i was cheating when i wasn't. which gave her llicense to cheat and treat me poorly.
then i did start looking at her physical aspects, and thought, i'm getting treated like this by that? i know it sounds horrible, but i started to think if i wanted to be treated like crap, i could be treated like crap by something that looks better than that, as she closed in on 280.
You know what? I think Big woman are great! They have a big body, a bigger heard and other big stuffs... I am just kidding. I would say it depend on how big she is. Sorry to say but no matter how beautiful she might be a 400lb woman isn't a chick to go out with especially if you have to dance hot music.
