Meh, don't bother with me, you wouldn't be impressed. At puberty, my mom asked if they were infected mosquito bites. If I placed a bag over my head, you couldn't tell if I were coming or going. I have to wear 2 corsets to get cleavage. If my boobs were a penis it'd be an innie. It's sad, I tells ya!

quote: ORIGINAL: DCWoody I've long objected to the term, I'll try to explain why concisely. BBW:Big Beautiful Woman. It's the 'beautiful' part that annoys me, an individual fattie may or may not be beautiful, but either way it'd bug me if they announced that they were. Oh for crap sakes!! Not even 24 hours ago, someone else started a fat thread. What is this? The week of the fat threads? Who would ever get even the remotest idea that you don't think it's possible for a plus-sized woman to be beautiful when you lump us all together and call us "fatties?" Besides that, OP, you don't even have enough balls to show your profile when you start flinging shit. I looked for it, and it said "Profile Not Found." What's up with that? I may be fat but, according to those who know me, I'm loving, generous to a fault, creative, very smart, competent, dependable and, yes, some even say I'm beautiful and love me just the way I am. Guess what, "individual fatties" may or may not be beautiful, but a stinking rotten attitude and purposely looking to stir up shit....they are NEVER attractive. ~sweetsub~

"you don't even have enough balls to show your profile when you start flinging shit. I looked for it, and it said "Profile Not Found." What's up with that?" My profile has been hidden for nigh on 5 years because I didn't want the spam/scam, and because I suck at writing profiles. I'm not flinging anything, I'm the one getting flung. "lump us all together" Serious question.....how does one talk about 'plus sized women' as a group without referring to them as a group? Secondary question, do you really need to reread my post to see that I did no such thing?

sweetsub1957 -> RE: Is the term BBW annoying? (3/15/2011 2:02:08 PM)
DCWoody, you referred to plus-sized women as "fatties." One could say the two words are referring to the same thing, and I'm sure that was your intent, but "fatties" is a word that will stir up a lot more shit and I think you know that and purposely used it for that purpose. Could it be that part of the unwanted mail you are trying to avoid is due to the inflammatory posts you make on the boards? I'm glad it was YOU who said you are the one getting flung. I already said what I think is being flung around here...... ~sweetsub~

DCWoody -> RE: Is the term BBW annoying? (3/15/2011 2:16:53 PM)
""fatties" is a word that will stir up a lot more shit and I think you know that and purposely used it for that purpose." No, you were right the first time, I used it to illustrate that it's just a word. Fat is the word for fat....more than a little circular, but accurate. If being fat is, in someones opinion, a bad thing, then using a word other than fat to mean fat doesn't change this, if there's nothing wrong with being fat, then saying fat (which rolls off the tongue/fingers far easier than plus-sized) isn't a bad thing, it's just a descriptive term....the opposite (sorta) to 'thin'. I specifially made this thread to encourage polite discussion and I've been entirely civil. If (and certainly for many people it is) BBW is all about empowerment (whatever that means exactly), metaphorically standing up for the position that fat=\=bad...surely it's better to use the actual word fat than skirt around the issue with euphemisms?....if you see what I mean. Which isn't particularly anything to do with the point of OP. "Could it be that part of the unwanted mail you are trying to avoid is due to the inflammatory posts you make on the boards?" If you want to mail me ya just need to put my name in the URL of any mail reply: http://www.collarme.com/personals/user/DCWoody/PageNum/1/write.htm " I'm glad it was YOU who said you are the one getting flung. I already said what I think is being flung around here...... " Flung at then, if you wish to split hairs....and in this case, by you.

hahahaha Whatever. I actually have no desire to send a private message. I prefer to keep it public, actually. And yes, I do agree that "fat" is the word for fat and rolls off the tongue a lot easier than "plus-sized." "Fatty" or "fatties," on the other hand are inflammatory and I saw no reason to use them other than to inflame. ~sweetsub~

quote: "I can honestly say that no woman I have got to know has been anything less than beautiful." I can very much appreciate that, but surely that's a matter of your opinion, not their declaration? Yeah, I must reluctantly grant you that point.

DCWoody -> RE: Is the term BBW annoying? (3/15/2011 2:31:47 PM)
" "Fatty" or "fatties," on the other hand are inflammatory" I disagree, if fat is fine then fattie as short for fat person should be fine too. Then again, round here people've even objected to me using 'subbie' (short for submissive donchaknow). "Yeah, I must reluctantly grant you that point." Victory is mine!

Here, OP, let me sit my beautiful fat ass down and respond. [:D] My profile decribes me as "fat". You would not BELIEVE the number of complaints I get from men telling me that "fat" is offensive or being mean to myself, and that I should use "BBW" (a term that I simply don't prefer to use, but not annoying).

FR ~ I have to agree with the OP. In my personal opinion, I find the term irritating because it goes beyond being a simple physical description to forcing an opinion on someone. I also agree that the implication that someone is automatically beautiful because they are a certain size is distasteful, and I personally find it somewhat insulting. Yet - it doesn't bother me when someone else uses it as a description of themselves - it only bothers me when it is applied to me. I am 5'8", I have brown eyes, I have brown hair, and I am fat. Simple physical descriptors. I see no reason to add adjectives to any of these. Seriously, does it make any difference (other than for me to sound either silly or egotistical) if I changed it to: "I am a statuesque 5'8", with mysterious deep brown eyes, a shimmering fall of light chestnut hair, and have a stunningly gorgeous Rubenesque figure"? I have had people consider me beautiful and I have had people consider me butt-ugly. I have had people love my personality and I have had people hate it. They are all free to have their opinions, as that is exactly what they are: THEIR opinions. Although I have no studies to back me up on this, I do think that everyone - whether tall/short, fat/thin, bald/hairy - has run in to the same mixed bag of others' opinions in their lives. I'm quite happy with myself - who I am and what I look like. My comfort with myself will not be altered because of someone else's opinion. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder.... and I am quite happy with letting others decide on their own whether or not I am attractive to them (since I'm also going to be deciding on my own if they are attractive to me). As a side note - I also find most of the diminutives irritating: "subbie", "fattie", "baldie", what-have-you. They appear condescending, with their imitation of childhood nicknames (Don becoming Donny, and Bob becoming Bobby). I wasn't fond of being treated as a child when I WAS a child, and that hasn't changed appreciably over the decades. It takes a couple of seconds more to type a full term ("submissive", "fat people", "bald people"), just as it takes a few seconds more to type in standard English instead of text-speak. That extra few seconds seems worthwhile to me in order to better the chances of the communication being understood.

Just a heads up, there is no BBM, but BHM (big handsome man). One of the groups in East TX uses that abbreviation for the men.
