How 'big' is BBW???

September 16 2009

I've been wondering for a while now, what size does a girl have to be to be classed as a BBW?  Is it a clothing size?  Bust size? Large belly or bum?  At 5' 6", 74kg, size 12 on a good day but 14 usually, with big boobs and a generous belly, I would call myself ample, heading towards BBW- but I wonder what others would think???

    Hi,   I would say you are the very typical average build certainly not a BBW as to how to define a BBW i am not really sure but having a look at you photos i say average(in size I am not commenting on other aspects).   Mike

    Hey lilmiss   I would call 10, 12, 14, average.....and under that slim to athletic......16 to 20 would be BBW to me, and over that would be large........!....xo tam.

    I think I could really enjoy taking a closer look at your bottom before answering. Not because bottoms have got anything much to do with being BBW... but just because your profile shot is so distracting... :p I mean really... BBW or otherwise... whoa ... nice photo!  These pidgeon hole definitions really are irelevant aren't they?   Hugs Gaz

    I agree with Gaz - that is a great profile pic.    To answer your question no idea.  I didn't know which box to tick for me average or athletic.  I think it all depends on your own opinion which will differ from the opinions of others.    I would have thought a size 12-14 wouldn't fit into either of those categories though......   K.

    My opinion or what i think of when i hear BBW would be a size 20 and above???Im a 16-18 so maybe boarderlining... not sure...i think everyone has their own perceptions of slim, average, ample, extra padding etc... Its hard to tell really! Maybe it'd be better to put a dress size on profile stats to make it clearer?xx OhSoBi xx

    BBW's are catergorised as overweight women.... but these days, what is overweight. If your not a size zero sample model, your fat. If you have a few wobbley bits, your fat. If you don't look like one of the chicks of the ab king pro ads who can walk around all day in theri bikini and a pair of rollor blades, your fat.   There are so many ways to be judged it's no bloody wonder most "larger" womenare pulling their hair out in frustration, going on fad diets, putting it back on gain and more coming on anyway. In this post we have a woman who is classified herself as a BBW when she is actually the Australian standard for average weight for women.   At 5 foot 4 and over 130kgs... I am a BBW.... but I hate being catergorised, I know that I am a beautiful person, but it's not how the rest of the world see's me. I winge and bitch and moan about men who ignore me in the chat room because I'm not showing myself off on a cam like all the other beautiful chicks. Truth is I'm too embarressed to do so. It's great to have people say, "but your beautiful just the way you are, and your real friends will love you no matter what".   Hence having just had lap banding done, not because I don't eat the right things, I just eat to much of it, finally, this decision has been selfishly for me, not so that I can look better for men, but so I can match me inside and out. So that I can walk out and be truly proud of who I am because people see me. Not the unhappier version of me remembering back when I did look awesome, as well as felt it.   LilMiss....I say this with the utmost repect.... if you think that your a BBW, I would suggest that you take a long look at your body image. It's a bit outta wack. Your at the weight I'm aiming for. I'm a size 24/26. Admittedly, I pack on muscle, and go more athletic when I'm thinner, but seriously, if you think your obese.... perhaps some counselling with a dietitan could help.   Gaz, yes, when we pidgeon hole ourselves into catergories, we make a stiffer rod for our backs. I thought the whole idea was to find a stiff rod we got pleasure from, not more insecurities.   OhSoBi.... men have an idea in their heads of the perfect woman, and no dress sizing on our profiles is gonna make them see a chick any differently. If she's not perfect when a guys first meets her, she's not perfect. Even just as a shag. I have been extremely clear with heaps of guys about my weight, they meet, I get the comments back, "your a lot bigger than I though you would be", "I will fuck you, but I won't be thinking about you in any other way".   It's a shame we debate weight still, it's the last legal discrimination, and when I think about all the men whom I could have made so happy, simply because I am such a top chick, and they tell me so, but they won't date me because of my weight over the past 8 years, I pity them. Then I get sad for me thinking about all the great sex they missed out on with me.... Bwhwahahahahahahahaha

    reference - http://searchwarp.com/swa33323.htmI assume you mean Big Beautiful Women .. ?Approach 1 - STEP1 Measure your lean body mass .. ratio of fat to muscle. If your Fat is anywhere near 40-50 % of your body you classify as the first "B" in  BBW ..STEP2Check your beauty.. god knows who you use as reference .. If you think your beautiful you classify as having the second  "B" in BBW. Maybe enroll in HOTorNOT website ...STEP3Check your a woman .. you then become a fully qualified BBW .. In reality I think this is all kindys mentality revisited .. You are what you are and if your not happy shift your thinking and actions and that will alter only 50% of you.. the rest is genetics and luck so blame or thank  your lineage ..

    Thankyou so much Frack_Me for having the courage to say how a lot of us bbw women feel. I am too, a bbw (5'9" and size 22). Just because we are big doesnt mean we dont have anything to offer in or out of the bedroom.   Personally, I would consider women who are size 20+ in clothing to be considered bbw.   And LilMissFussy, no offence but if you think you are a bbw, then your self esteem must be a lot worse than mine. At least I can accept me for who I am and the wonderful personality that I bring everywhere I go.   Nothing is better than a woman who is comfortable with all of herself.

    yeah everytime that profile shot scrolls past i chip my teeth trying to bite the screen...   to me yr petite with nice handholds, its all subjective...   some ppl say a BBW is a big girl with no boobs or butt...some ppl say its a girl WITH a big boobs and butt and a narrow waist...what do YOU think ? i like my description, mebbe you can change 'petite' i dont know you that well unfortunately.   *sqz*

    I'm not comfortable, thats the point. I'm not comfortable because of the pressure put on women to conform to an image that has nothing to do with the reality that is being a woman in today's society.   It's great that women have confidence, but I'm asking the question, why do we need to be categorised? Why do we need to become BBW or BHM. why can we not just be who we are, accepted as that and move on from there.   If this thread just becomes a ego boost for those who need to feel complimented, whats the point.

You want to know which animals are deadly and which aren't . You want to know who is an enemy and who isn't , you also want to know who you are attracted to and who you aren't .. etc . People will always try and put you in a box headed by your most significant signifier..weight .. disability .. outstanding feature.. Sometimes it doesn't make us feel good , sometimes it does ..Sometimes people use it to get more out of life than they otherwise deserve others the opposite... It can be a positive or a negative thing depending on our ability to use what we have to progress through life. If you don't want to be noticed and boxed I think best to hide in a hole somewhere . It comes down to accepting your gene pool .. your gifts .. working with what you have and ignoring people who don't aid your life ..:-)

    i am a bbw and my size is 22-24.... at 120kgs.... i do love my body, my personality and my wobbly bits ... considerable as they are ...lol.... my husband loves bbw too as he doesn't think they will break in his arms .... there are many men out there that do love bigger women for all the reasons we being bigger women love ourselves ... sure there are guys out there that don't like bigger women and sure there are women out there that don't like bigger men .... its like everything the world over , there is someone for everyone and well on this site , we are looking for a little extra fun .... but of course not all of us are going to click with each other all the time ... some girls n guys will be on here for their own reasons ...we are here because we are looking for friendship n fun with like minded ppl .... because it is really liberating talking about sex ... since it seems to be such a taboo subject in most circles .... us women talk about it much of the time , with each other and well not too sure about the men out there ... a fellow said to me about his friend one day ( he won't marry you the way you are  -- meaning overweight ) on my wedding day i danced with him and said ...well he married me ... and the skinnier guy said yup he did .... we are still good friends but he is a guy that likes his women thin ... but he really didn't know his mate .... i used to go out to night clubs and was definately not a size 24 then but a nice 16 -18 and there were some men then thinking i was hugely overweight and would look me up and down and cringe .... but i sure got my fair share of the guys , and those were lovely men too ... men who weren't judgemental ....   but for a person to be loved and admired ... you first have to love and admire yourself .... no matter what your size .... a beautiful woman can be very much overlooked because she is not happy within  herself and her friend standing by might not get the first look but certianly get them after because of personality and happiness .... this i have experienced too ...   there are many variations .... for me i KNOW  i'm a bbw ..... yes very much big .... and i have big beautiful boobs to go with that .... big arms that might put a guy off ... and very large thighs ... all the better to ride you with ....lol...   i am pretty in my own way .... as with all women there are things i don't think are quite as pretty .... but i think i have a very lovely personality , very friendly and such .... so yeah i'd say a beautiful women , definately inside , if not quite so much out ....lol....but not unpleasant to the eyeballs ....lol...   very much a woman .... a very girly type ....very womanly .... as told to me by my husband ...but then again he is very biased .....rofl.... now that is from me ....and my hunny wants to say his piece now .....here it comes ....   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''     i went out one time with a beauty pagent girl .... she won and so was very great eye candy , skinny in everything ... skinny in stature, medium boobs and not much of a bottom but super hot .... but when we went out , she wouldn't eat at all because she was on a diet and there was no spontaneous stopping off anywhere to eat or enjoy stuff as the diet ruled her .... she was nice to be with but not that i'd call lots of fun ..   when it came to sex ... she was like a dead fish .... she would just lay there , would not seem to participate , and then when you had finished she'd be like ,oh that was nice ... it as just the one way too .... really no adventure in her at all ... her mind seemed to be pre-occupied with just the diet and how she looked ...   my first bbw , i was totally blown away by the softness, the adventure, and playfullness of it all .... and would never go back to a skinny , diet concious lady again .... i truly love my bbw's .... of both sexes .....
