For 10 years up until this last year, I had always perceived this as "Big Boned Woman." Lately, I seem to see it being referred to as "Big Beautiful Woman." I think the former is much more appropriate, as women who refer to themselves as "BBW" on the
internet quite often aren'
t beautiful in any sense of the
word. It seems any overweight woman identifies herself as a "BBW", regardless of how atrocious her face and/or body may be. Also, many of them are far beyond slightly overweight and encroaching into morbidly obese territory. I think it's about time the term "BBW" got a re-haul.
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure there are some out there who have a thing for women who
don't take good care of their bodies, most likely these are men who also
don't take good care of their bodies. But those who do take good care of their bodies will always identify with and be more attracted to others who share the same sentiment.
"I see you've described yourself as a BBW. In what
universe is your face synonymous with beauty? It is misshapen, far too wrinkly for your age, and your eyes are as far apart as a hammerhead
shark's. No - you are not a big beautiful woman. You are a big woman, who is also extremely unattractive.
Don't fret, though. I'm sure there's an equally unattractive slob of a man out there for you somewhere."
