ORIGINAL: quietkitten A response to no-one in particular I have no problem with those who have their own preference as long as they don't expect everyone to conform to their idea of perfection. A great response, quietkitten. It's easy to point fingers at someone who doesn't like what you are and say they are a bad person. Also easy to inflate that to everyone doesn't like what you are and they are all bad people. I have my preferences. Every one of us has our preferences. Some of those preferences are deal-breakers and some of them aren't. Men who won't partner with BBW's are seriously limiting themselves in the US, as the nation grows increasingly obese, BBW's (and BHM's) are more plentiful. And within the scene, there is a much larger percentage of BBW's than in the general population (this is particularly noticeable in areas where the average dress size is much smaller than the national average of 14). It may also be something more psychological than physical-instead of not wanting a BBW because of her size, it may be because of what her size implies. There are certain ingrained stereotypes regarding women who wear large dress sizes (i.e. low self-esteem, emotional issues, lack of self-control, etc.), and although I'm not stating that these stereotypes are a good thing or even a bad thing, they are present, they do exist, and they are going to affect the way people view BBWs. This does not make the people who have been conditioned by these stereotypes bad people-just human. Phoenix
