Sex & The Curvy Girl
How overweight women manage sex, love—and stereotypes.
by Liz Funk
But what if a gal wants more than just sex—something like, well, love? “There are ‘BBW’ dating sites and parties,” suggests Shannon, who blogs about her weight ups and downs at musingsofafatchick.blogspots.com. In some scenes, craving overweight women has emerged as a fetish. And online communities and dating sites catering to the overweight have cropped up, but they’re not a cure-all.
“In theory, these parties are awesome,” says Wendy. “But I would never go to something like that looking for a long-term partner…” Wendy has had some success finding guys at regular bars with her friends, and at one point dated a guy who “looked like a rock star.” The bottom line on dating if you’re overweight? “There are plenty of women who are fat who are in great relationships and plenty of women who are thin and dating unsuccessfully,” says Dr. Rosenfeld. “Women should be focusing on the things they bring to a relationship other than just their looks.”

Being fat and curvy is just perfect for me, i like a woman when she is fat got hips and is busty, for God’s sake how will you feel when you are holding a woman and there is no feeling curvy nature of their body . Anyday anytime anywhere i will go for the am awaiting to be reached by any of them.

I am overweight and have been all my life. My weight has gone up and down with various diets, but I’ve never been “skinny”.
I have found some success on online dating sites, but have been on the whole very frustrated with the inequality between expectations of men and women.
I myself prefer bigger men, but I’ve found that lots of overweight men on these sites claim their body type as “average” (although it is obvious they are not by looking at their pics) and are only looking for women who are “thin” or “athletic”. It’s so frustrating to me! What a double standard society has.
