2. Who said that?
Was that on DU? Even if not, that's a really idiotic thing to say.

5. Not on DU. It's just something I was thinking about.
They call them "chubby-chasers." I'm thinking about the film "Shallow Hal" which was so insulting in that the female lead was not really fat, but in a fat suit.

What wrong with going with a fat lady? Yes, I DO want to dance with the BIG FAT LADY!

10. I've never heard anyone call it perverted
by that token someone liking a really skinny woman is also a pervert.

I rarely ever hear chubby chaser either. Generally I see people getting busted on if they hook up with a bigger girl randomly. If they always go for big girls then they are left alone. It is what they are aiming for not what they settled for.

27. Looks like you do. I've never heard that either, but I'd say anybody
who thinks that way has the emotional maturity of a middle school student.

8. that's insane elshiva
beauty is not about how much a person weighs and perversion (whatever that even is) is not about being attracted to women who are overweight.

fuck that crap...

there are ugly skinny women, ugly on the inside makes them ugly on the outside truly.

there are beautiful overweight women... beautiful features, beautiful on the inside, there is beauty in all people elshiva

i may not be expressing myself well here

but that notion of perversion is insane... and the notion that someone who finds overweight women to be perverts is insane and bizarre and not true at all..

:hug: :hug:

12. I guess that depends on how you "love" them.
And, what implements are involved in the process. ;-)

13. Because people who adhere to concepts such as 'normal'
are insecure and thus have a greater need than most to defend themselves, and they often do so by classifying others as "weird."

Sizeism at either end of the spectrum should not be tolerated.

15. Because this society feels it's acceptable to hate "fat" people.
And people who love them.

16. One of my cousins is a large-sized model
She lives and works in LA. Models clothes, does magazine shoots, etc. Apparently something of a name in that field. Starting to age, as am I. But she likes to e-mail me and let me know where to look for her in magazines.

She's really quite beautiful, but when we were growing up everyone was worried about her weight. Now she's using it as an asset. Has a great looking, very nice husband, too.

So, not everyone finds heavy people unattractive.

17. It is a preference,definitely not a perversion.
Some people are just ignorant.

18. The same reason some people don't like Scotch?
A complete lack of taste and appreciation of the good things in life.

23. I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I really like your response
:thumbsup:

(my personal thing is I like girls who are bookish--but also active)

Oh yeah, before I go, I want to make the blanket statement that what attracts one person to another is entierly their own business--so long as no coercion is involved.

20. The ones they call perverts...
...are the ones for whom the women is incidental. The ones who would just as happily hump a genetically engineered, skin-covered ball of non-sentient living blubber.

The guys who just like girls who have a little more cushion for the pushin' and actually have meaningful, respectful relationships with them are normal.

24. As a fat woman, I have never heard the "pervert" tag for men who admire my curves.
Actually, when I do come upon a man who likes a girl with some padding, it's really fun because their eyes just light up.

25. There must be a lot of perverts out there then
When I was younger I was engaged to a bbw and my so called friends wouldn't leave her alone, that relationship went to hell, but I found my Marshmallow woman, we've been happy as hell for the past twenty two years.

29. Society has decreed that all women shall be thin
or considered nonsexual, so liking anything nonsexual is perverted. Like children are and should be, overweight women are to be considered out of the loop. I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not sure it's not almost true anyway. Same for older women. That's why it's so tough to be a man. You have to compete with all the men for the few women who still fit the profile!

30. They're called "black men" or "Latinos" where I live
:shrug:

There's all kinds of people who dig large wimmin, but it seems to be much more prevalent in those two demographics.
