My best mate prefers larger guys.
If I had to choose between a pair of identical twins with equal charisma, one weighing a stone under his ideal weight- and one weighing a stone over, I would go for the overweight guy.
My absolute ideal blokes body is Clint Eastwood's when he was in his 30's/40's :inlove:
Guys do have to be taller than me though (having said that there was one guy I met recently I'd have made an exception for.) And they have to stand up to me- mad as it sounds I only like to get away with giving so much 'tude.........nice guys are wonderful- but not to the point of letting me walk all over them confused
Having read thro this thread i have to say i dont think sexual preference is being judgemental, its sexual preference and just that, i personally wouldnt go for a very over weight guy but that dont mean i think theres anything wrong with them, or wouldnt talk to them but of course if i looked at someones pics and didnt like the way they looked, for any reason not just cause of their weight, i wouldnt speak to them with a view of meeting but that dose not mean i wouldnt talk to them at all, but i think that would go for anyone, and i'm pretty sure guys look at my pics and think.....shes not for me.....and thats ok cause at the end of the day noones for everyone and we have to accept that.

It can be so demaoralising because i cant change how i am sad
Its very easily done but I think that we sometimes read too much into what we think people think of us and our sizes. So, I know how Mr B might have felt, when there were no replies. Even though it was probably unfounded, but still, we cant help how we feel.
Larger person gets no replies - it must be because they are big.
A slimmer person gets no replies - it must be because they're slimmer.
A person with a big nose gets no replies - it must be because they have a big nose confused
The list is endless.
We all have insecurities about something but the thing is to not let it bog you down. Just carry on regardless and if someone does knock you back because of one of these things, just think to yourself, ohh well, they're loss :thumbup: Theres plenty more out there who would.
Personally, it doesnt matter what body size they have, I much prefer a personality :thumbup: and if they have a bar of chocolate for me then im anybodys :giggle:

I like a nice pie rolleyes
Shallow, tall(ish) fat ugly bastard, with a sense of humour and a personality (of sorts)
Though that may be about to change, as she, had decided that we,are on a diet.

I have to say I prefer a larger man!. I love having something to hold on to. Mr lyns is large build and I love that he makes me feel all safe and protected :inlove:.
Now, as a gentleman of conspicuous girth, I have more of an equator than a waist, I have been pleasantly surprised just how many people (swingers) look beyond the purely physical side of a person and much deeper into the personality than I would ever have thought possible before we started down this road. Take a look at TV programs and magazines, and it’s all to easy to fall into the trap of thinking that swingers are predominantly young sexy beautiful people, who would gag at the thought of middle aged spreaders daring to appear on their horizon. All I can say is give it time Mr Bone don’t expect to be falling into bed every five seconds, but you will, provided you make some small effort, find warm and sexy people who will see beyond the shell.
I get interested in someone because of their personality and whether I click with them but whether I'm sexually attracted to them can be different depending on their size. In men, I prefer a larger man, I don't particularly find slim or skinny men attractive. My bf is clinically classed as 'obese' but is not fat - he's got a bit of extra padding on his tummy but I think it's the big muscly arms, legs and chest that contribute to the increased BMI. All I can say is cor!!! He doesn't like skinny girls, whereas I find slim or heavier girls sexy; skinny tho doesn't do it again for me.
Is there a difference between stating your preference positively and negatively? When we take offence at someone's preferences, is it just about political correctness that only seems in this country to be criticisable one way? Only my opinion based on observations but compare how the following entries from the ads make you feel
Would like to meet slim female
Looking to meet fit couple
vs
No hairy people, fat, old or ugly please!
We are sorry to say that looks are important so no fat people please.
Yes people really write this stuff. Personally I don't find people's preferences offensive in the first two examples, I just know I won't suit them so hey-ho, but in the second lot I feel a tad offended and the word 'shallow' comes to mind. You can do the same thing with age and colour too and no doubt any other 'ism' you want. I've noticed some seem offended by 'no over X age' or 'white only' comments. This is getting off the subject somewhat but preferences are preferences and very individual but as with anything, there's ways of saying it.
Do you know, you lot are lovely.....I know that when I do post something serious (not very often I admit) that there will always be wise and wonderful words of wisdom (try saying that when youve had a few!! lol)
But I know there is always honesty and thoughtfulness, which is why I love this site.

Why would you want to change how you are? You a lovely slim sexy guy, with a huge heart.

Sod 'em Goose - they're not worth you worrying about.
Goose, you have a gorgeously sexy butt babes, dont change it for anything. kiss :kiss: :heart:
It also depends on what you mean by "fat" "big" "bbw". I class myself as BBW because its the easy option, but in the past have constantly had to disabuse people because they have "looked at my profile and I don't look fat" Those who know me in person will also know that I am clinically obese. I have seen women describe themselves on here as BBW when they are a size 16/18. Maybe if we started using clothes sizes in our description it would give others a better idea of what they are likely to meet. Could never be bothered turning up to a meet with someone who thought they were about to meet a women who was a few pounds overweight and then seeing the look of shock on their faces when met with a blimp. rotflmao
I think the attraction in a BBW as opposed to a BBM is just the fact that they have big boobs and a big ass. Or am I just simplifying things here?
Using a sweeping generalisation, these are the parts that men are attracted to, and I think there is a huuuge attraction towards BBWs because they most likely have big boobs and big asses.
Unfortunately, being an overweight man doesn't really highlight those masculine characteristics as much as being an overweight female highlights the feminine features.
This is the way I see it anyway.
I'm not attracted to overweight builds at all, we're mainly on here to get a shag with people we fancy, so for us, an attraction from looks not just personality comes pretty high on our list when we're looking to meet, just as meeting people within our own age group comes near the top too.
I'm not bothered about offending people by saying that, it doesn't mean either that I rate myself as particularly attractive, I just couldn't sleep with someone that I didn't find their body type attractive.
Think you may have hit the nail on the head M & D.
Thats a very interesting point that you make about the difference between a BBW and a BBM.
I am of the same mind to, i need to fancy the person I shag first......if that makes me seem shallow then so be it, but I always maintain that most guys shag with their cocks, while most women do it with their minds.

Sexy comes in all shapes and sizes for sure but without a doubt its attitude that is the sexiest part.

Couldn't agree more. The reverse is true too - there's nothing that turns me off more than bad attitude.
2nd attempt as deleted it by accident redface its hard typing with kittens on your arm.
i was married for 12 yrs before i found or was directed to the scene and when we first split i found myself attracted to the similar type as my husband, tall, athletic shaven head.
since finding you lot boy have my eyes been opened, i have met so many people whos personality shine through by attending socials and munchs, hardly missed any in my first year, i have played with and fancy people i would probably have never given a 2nd glance to.
so now i dont have a type i am attracted to someone by the way they post, bye the way they are in the chat room, or having met them in a social no pressure environment.
personally i dont read ads, nor do i check out any lmu that arent a social or a party, but thats just my preference. and its rare i would play with someone on a first meet.

I've never looked at you on cam, but I'm puzzled how anyone can think they know how tall someone is from seeing them on cam. Can't you angle the cam so that you tower above it and look tall?
Well, I was being semi-serious there, but seriously, I agree with the comments above. People with such narrow-minded attitudes are not worth bothering about. Thankfully there seem to be plenty of genuinely accepting people around.

This is an interesting thread and has had a number of interesting responses.
As I see it, the problem with the -isms in question, whether they are concerned with size, height, weight, sex or age is that they are, of course designed to create an air of difference and create a "them and us" frame of mind to whoever subscribes to them.
Enough said. Such folks who use such -isms are more often than not latching on to anything that will allow them and others to focus on somebody else's "alleged" shortcomings rather than their own perceived ones.
I am of course a shorty. 5'4" in socks, 5'5" in heels lol This lack of height has always been something that others have picked up on and from time to time tried to use against me. At school, in the pubs, clubs,etc, etc...Even here in the forum, where I am sad to say a few of the more established members also dug their size-ist barbs in, or at least tried... :lol:
(Only the other night in the chatrooms there was a pathetic attack on me based on my stature, from someone who - as far as I can tell- had never met me)
Heigh-ho...(as a number of dwarves who incidentally were shacked up with a hot bitch said whilst they paid her in diamonds for her services) Whatever.
You think I haven't noticed I am a shorty? I live with it every day...Sorry, let me say that again - I live with it.
People who use -isms to score points against folks should really look to themselves. We might be short, fat, old, dumpy, have different colour skin or whatever...But you usually find we are not that insecure that we have to bully others to make ourselves appear better (or in my case bigger :lol: )
Fuck 'em the cowards... cool
Be proud of who you are, what you are.
