LadyLight said:But can anyone explain to me why I have to go online to meet any guys who are willing to admit they like BBWs? I haven't had a real date in... oh... 15 years or so. Can't get a second look IRL, but I can meet them online. Do they just not want to admit to it?
Good question, Ladylight. I can't speak for all men--and I'm not even saying this is my view--but let my offer what I think is one possible answer.
The problem is that a young, immature guy sees a gf as a status symbol. Every guy in his early 20's wants to bring his gf to the bar for his buddies to meet, and he wants his buddies to see how hot she is and make them jealous. Then they'll buy him a congratulatory drink and tell him, "You da man" because he scored such a hot girl.
On the other hand if the same guy shows up with a BBW--even if he really loves her--he knows that his buddies will be polite to her, but as soon as she leaves and his back is turned, they're all going to say among themselves, "What the hell was he smoking when he met HER?"
So in part it may be a status thing. It's a lot harder for a guy to score points with his buddies if he's dating a BBW than if he's dating a supermodel.
So maybe for you the answer is to go for older guys? Or guys who are more mature and understand that beauty really is only skin-deep?
Just a thought from a guy.
