ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders Hi Emma and welcome. I also would prefer to be called 'fat' than 'BBW'. To me Big Beautiful Woman suggests one of two things - either fetishizing fat people (no thanks, I want to be liked for me not just for ticking some sexual box) or that it's implied you have to specify that this particular big woman is beautiful, because most aren't. That said, both fat and plain are often used as mild insults on someone's appearance, so the OP might well attract people who get off on that type of humiliation or have that type of fetish. Which is OK, if that's what she likes. I just wouldn't want her unintentionally attracting the wrong type of person. I want to address yours and Emma's posts. I have never met a woman who called herself a BBW to be fat fetishist. Whether a man uses that term because HE is a fetishist is his problem. It is quite easy for an intelligent woman to discern whether a man is a BBW fetishist or if he just has a preference. You know, there actually are men who like that. I was a plus size model for over 13 years and we called ourselves BBW's since the term was coined in the fashion industry. Unfortunately, you and the poster above you, as well as many other people, tend to generalize that women who call themselves BBW's have self esteem issues or are in denial. I know I am not in denial; I got paid for my looks as a BBW, so I am realistic in my view of myself. I am beautiful. If you don't think you are, that is your issue, not others. What all of you forget (and I say all since this topic is overdone to death) is that people have every right to call themselves whatever they like. Just as I said the OP has every right to call herself fat and plain. However, everyone jumped on her to say, get self esteem, oh you are truly beautiful, etc. That was not necessary. She knew what she was trying to convey. Just as the term BBW conveys something. How nice it would be if people stopped projecting their insecurities on others.
