Poll: So... I think I like fat chicks.

[A.A.K]

I don't mean to be shallow or objectify women, but I just don't find overweight women attractive whatsoever.
I can still say "oh yea she's a good lookin' gal'" or whatnot, but it's not sexually appealing.

I can appreciate the fact I don't look like a calven klein model, but I do quite look after myself, and I guess I just expect that to be reciprocated.

Though that's just me.

Actually despite popular belief that guys only like super skinny chicks, most guys actually prefer a girl whose a little on the plumper side. It's media portraying super models and actresses as "don't lift that gallon of milk or your arms will come off" twig-thin.

Though personally I don't see much of that myself. *sighs* Forever alone...

But as for the OP sounds to me like your perfectly normal.

 

[Charli]

I am an average chick (Hard to gain or loose weight body type) and I have no feelings toward this preferance of yours. *click*

Yeah this is a fairly normal preferance. Lots of men like heavier girls. Media just likes to lie to you. It's not a shocker. It's all preferance.

Lots of men hate frigid sarcastic obsessed with personal hobbies and work types, which is why I'm /forever alone. Yeehaw. Ugh sorry my relationship phobia is showing. I have more fufillment in my work than other human beings.

I'm a chubby chaser. Hell I prefer them to skinny girls. Now sing with me:

Ah, you gonna take me home tonight...

I'm fairly skinny. In my two sexual experiences to date, I've been with women who were significantly heavier than I am. At first, I didn't know if I'd like it or if I'd even be attracted to an overweight individual. I was wrong. Everything society told me about how I should feel about people with these body types was incorrect. It was awesome. I'm kind of thinking I prefer it. There's something tactile about the softness, the flab, the weight, the small folds, and the disproportionate size that just turns me on. It feels more feminine somehow.

I'm not saying I only like fat girls. I'm definitely not saying all the girls I've ever been attracted to were fat. I don't think I was attracted to these girls merely because I thought I could "get with them" because of low self esteem. I'm not saying I like all fat girls. I still don't think I've been with someone who would qualify as "morbidly obese" yet. I have never been with a skinny girl, so I'm not even sure if that would be substantially different. An overweight coworker was telling me awhile back that he had reservations about dating a woman who was chunkier than what he was used to. I had to tell him that I used to feel the same way, but "dude, you don't even know..."

With all the emphasis society and women themselves place on weight gain/loss, I feel like a bit of weirdo. Then again, I don't think it's a full on "fetish" either. Basically, a woman's body type has a limited effect on how I feel about that person and with some of the things I've heard guys say, that seems out of the ordinary for my gender. Is this normal? Have any other posters seen the light?

Hey, the more you discover about yourself the better. So what if it isn't what society considers the "norm".

For example, I recently found out that I was gay. Years of sexual frustration are over! Hooray!

I have no idea what is going on but as long as you are happy good for you.

 

[TehCookie]

Liking different things is fine. I can't call it normal as in the majority, but it's not wrong. People think I'm weird because I'm not attracted to buff dudes. I don't care what people think, keep loving who you love. Unless it's illegal.

There's a big variation in fitness among people with extra body fat, depending on whether they exercise. On one side you have the couch potato: slouched posture, sagging breasts (male and female), uneven distribution of fat, they were probably in better shape at one point in adult life but let muscles atrophy into fat. On the opposite side you have the physically active but high body fat crowd: overweight for all or most of their life, fat is evenly distributed and proportioned, back muscles support large breasts from sagging, flexible enough to dance, heart works well enough to support arousal, etc.

The experts agree, losing weight and body fat is more about diet than exercise, while exercise brings a lot of other health benefits besides weight loss. This leads to the situation where an overweight person who exercises can be more healthy and attractive than a normal weight person who does not exercise. For women especially, I wish the media talked more about this, put more emphasis on health through physical activity than diets and low body weight.

Hey, good for you, man. You've got a sea to choose from.
Me personally... I don't like fat or skinny (which do feel similar, though skinny is easier to lift and move), I like fit. The rarest of all american women.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

I like fat chicks.
THEIR BELLIES ARE SO SOFT!

So yeah, don't let what's defined as beautiful by some ass-hat who isn't you (Society) make you unhappy because it's taboo to like what you like,
Friggin go for it.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

It's not weird at all. My dad liked larger women and I'm gay and like larger men (though I prefer a bit chubby rather than massively obese).

Honestly, it's one of my more normal preferences.

 

[Starik20X6]

Go for it man. Nothing wrong with that. Personally I prefer curvy girls (Christina Hendricks, Marilyn Monroe etc.). However the distinction between curves and fat is a distinction I wish the internet would grasp. You try to look for this:

And end up with pictures of this:

[Grey Day for Elcia]

Normal? What use is normal?

If it works then go with it.

This is no different from people who prefer blondes to brunettes.

Well, that was a quick /thread.

But seriously, if everyone involved is a consenting adult, like whoever you like and do whatever you wanna--just don't hurt anyone. Blonds, dark skin, freckles, tall, smart, funny-we all like different things and that's a good thing! It means there's someone out there who will love you for just being you.

Just remember to treat everyone as a human being

I was about to step out, so I don't have oodles of time. In fact I, at best, was able to skim the post.

It would beneficent you if you didn't refer to them as "fat chicks." It doesn't matter how much they appeal to you, and you're able to see through societies slim-preferred influences. If you can't respect women in general, then it doesn't much matter who you prefer, you'll be single.

 

[That One Six]

Curvy is the way to go. There's a reason that an "hourglass figure" is considered attractive. Or was. Nowadays, the skinnier a girl is, the more attractive society finds her, which I think is wrong. Not only is super-skinny unhealthy when it comes to giving birth (and other things), but there's nowhere to hold onto. Stick-women feel like they'll break in your arms, but a girl with curves feels just right.

 

[Syzygy23]

According to some porn infograph I found the other day, fat women porn is the 6th largest (no pun intended) genre. So its not unusual at all.

Me personally? I dunno man. I dont like fat chicks, but I dont like really skinny ones either.

I'm slightly afraid to know what the 1st largest genre is. It's gotta be either feet or donkeys, I just know it.

 

[axlryder]

Everyone has their preferences. I'm the opposite of OP here. I will literally ignore practically any trait in a woman if I like her as a person. "Unsightly" scars, physical imperfections, etc. However, I absolutely can not date an overweight woman. A little extra meat on the bones is fine, I even like a girl naturally curvaceous figure, but the minute I start to think "she could really stand to lose a few", I just can't remain attracted. The visible appearance of fat is just so sexually off putting to me. For a while I felt guilty about it, but then I realized that I can't control what I do and don't like. I can definitely "try", but trying is all I can do. No need to beat myself up over it.

 

[Right Hook]

Hey, good for you man, variety is a nice thing and if it works for you, embrace it. Personally I don't think I could make it work but at the same time I find women with actual figures much more attractive than thin, bony girls.
