"I would say once you reach 18+ then you're considered bbw but all open to interpretation "
for me i would only class SSBBW as BBW but things have changed over time and BBW seem to have gotten smaller.

Well she'd need to be beautiful for a start.
I hate expressions like milf and bbw anyway. Especially when women refer to themselves as one.
Being overweight doesn't get you into the bbw club. |

I think it depends how tall you are. I know a lot of people say anything over size 16 but if you are tall 16 is not particularly big.
In my mind I class people as "big" if, where you would traditionally expects curves to go in, they go out. It should be an overall look not a dress size.

there didn't even used to be a SSBBW until BBW started including smaller women, all SSBBW were the original BBW.
men on here kept calling me a BBW so i thought i was one, i'm a size 12 - 14 so am a bit on the chubby side. |

I design and make plus size fetish clothing for plus size ladies in the real world, I'm not fond of the bbw status myself but if it's any help I only create for ladies size 22 upwards only.
I see ladies smaller than this not to be in the plus size or bbw status range that's just my own opinion but I'm sure others have there own personal views on this. |

"Does it depend on height?
Yep!
A women of 5ft10 & one of 5ft2 both size 16, will not look the same.
"
Exactly.
There is a woman at my work. 5'11 dress size 16 and she looks incredible. Same dress size on another female colleague and she is 5'3 and the difference is stark |

Well I'm as likely to be turned on by a size 20 as I am by a size 10 if she has a certain something about them.

Um all of us individually.

The person themselves. Others may disagree but a sense of self and personal aesthetic is key.
Actually, it's a pretty valid point. Guys I have met as a larger and less large girl have all said that size is unimportant to them. It's face that visually attracts. And that is so subjective. |

I received a most unpleasant message here yesterday calling me fat and mutton dressed as lamb etc.
He went on and on at how I was hideous.
Won't lie, it upset me but one man's meat is another man's poison.
No need for him to be so cruel though! |

Sorry to hear about the insults. I've had my fair share of insults but after a while it really is water off of a ducks back or, even off of a big girls back (beautiful big girl of course).  |

He was just a sad muppet who couldn't deal with the fact that how ever you look, you're still likely to get laid before him. |

I refer to myself as bbw, although I'm not sure if I like the term, I just don't fancy putting fatty on my profile! I'm 6'1 and size 22/24, the top half is ok, it's the arse and thighs show where all the weight is  |

You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the number of women on this site who would describe those measurements as 'curvy'!!
I'm a hater of the BBW term too. Anyone think of 3 letter abrieviation for women who are healthy, active and happy about it? |

Yeah its bollocks.
I met a woman once who said she couldn't decide how to label me.
I said "Why do you feel the need to pigeon hole people?"
"No" she said "I'm trying to work out how to cover your fucking ugly face with these labels so I don't have to look at it when you're shagging me"
How rude |

I think if you want to choose to label yourself as a BBW (which clearly lots of women do)& someone challenges you on either the size / beauty aspect then it just acts as another filter in the process of whether to meet or not. |

Do you think these people see something you said on the forums that prompted these kind of messages? I'm much bigger than both of you and I've not gotten one.
A BBW to me would have a lot of excess fat. |

no, it was my prifle status.
i said i was dating myself and enjoying that and he said something about my appearence and insinuated i'd have to date myself. his profile said he was laid back as well so i said something about him not really being laid back then blocked him. idk what he said, like i said i put it out of my mind.
men just get frustrated on here about women doing what hey want and not what men want, i think it's a big shock for miogynists how this site actually is. |

"How is having excess fat remotely beautiful?"
Because size does not = beauty? I've been various sizes in my life. I still have the same face. The same hair. And I am the same me. I have never thought of myself as beautiful but I still look like me whatever size that may be. And those that found me beautiful before (like my mum) still do. |

"Yeah I know that. Cheers though.
Thats not what she's saying though. She's saying to be a bbw you need to have excess fat?
"
No, she's saying that the acronym stands for big beautiful woman. You can be a beautiful woman and not be big. But you can't be a big beautiful woman if you're not big AND beautiful. Big is but one component of the BBW definition, but you need the two B's together to be one. It doesn't mean that one automatically leads to the other. |

Uk average is size 16 - not a good thing.
Be healthy active and happy. 'BBW' or simillar is irrelevant. Being overweight isn't something to aspire to. |

for me i would only class SSBBW as BBW but things have changed over time and BBW seem to have gotten smaller.
i thought i was one when i first joined fab.
Lol exactly I guess trends change Id never even heard of SSBBW until recently Id class myself as skinny compared to some of those big ladies lol
there didn't even used to be a SSBBW until BBW started including smaller women, all SSBBW were the original BBW.
men on here kept calling me a BBW so i thought i was one, i'm a size 12 - 14 so am a bit on the chubby side.
I'm 12-14 so am with you on this one. I think this is the average size (14)?
UK average now is a size 16.
Uk average is size 16 - not a good thing.
Be healthy active and happy. 'BBW' or simillar is irrelevant. Being overweight isn't something to aspire to."
you can still be healthy and overweight.
just seen that we're, on average, a stone heavier than the americans and that did surprise me. |

Dress size alone does not determine someone's health. Plenty of size 16 women are active and healthy |

You can be healthy and overweight, but only technically. I'm watching the Olympics and some of athletes are probably technically overweight - the rugby team for example.
But rolls and rolls of flab - not seen so many.
There's plenty of female athletes that probably weigh as much as some of the 'BBW' types on here. The rowers for example, but how many look like they'd be wearing size 16/18? |

"Yeah its bollocks.
I met a woman once who said she couldn't decide how to label me.
I said "Why do you feel the need to pigeon hole people?"
"No" she said "I'm trying to work out how to cover your fucking ugly face with these labels so I don't have to look at it when you're shagging me"
How rude "

"The average size in the uk is 16. I would say a bbw is from 18 to 20+.average doesnt mean medium. Medium is a 10/12.
I see. I thought medium would come over average and small under."
I disagree with that sizing...
I would say a medium was a 12/14 ..
Small 10/12 and large 14/16 |

Given the musculature, I would expect many of the lady throwers, rugby players and swimmers wear a size 16/18. Possibly larger due to shoulder size etc.

Have you seen any swimmers or the like with rolls of flab?
Agreed- they could have that sort of musculature, that was the original point. But surely if they were on this site with those stats, they could legitiamtely select 'athletic'! I don't think any of them are glamourising obesity. |

I was responding a specific quote in your post.
You appear to be of the opinion that larger = flabby but that is not the case. |

"So when it comes to BBW what sizes would you class someone as a BBW ? I'm between a dress size 16/18 and a 40DD chest "
Beautiful Women come in any size. . |

There isn't a set size because people's perception of themselves varies tremendously.
Some people belly ache over the use of the word beautiful in the label as if it's some great crime for women or the guys who like them to feel beautiful even though they don't confirm to societal norms of what beautiful is perceived to be.
Some quite clearly find it incomprehensible that anyone but the body beautiful can be seen as attractive let alone fuckable which is really quite tragic. Why we cannot simply accept people's differences and appreciate the fact that it is this diversity of attraction that makes society tick is beyond me.
As for the fit and healthy argument, of course some overweight people are putting themselves at risk of health problems but then some are not or at least not anymore than their slimmer counter parts. I am diabetic and 17 stone yet am easily twice as active as some of my perfect BMI scoring friends who eat chips and chocolate most days.

"The average size in the uk is 16. I would say a bbw is from 18 to 20+."
What does it matter what the average size in the UK is?
I'd say a 16 plus I'd a BBW it just means people are getting bigger not that woman at a size 16 are no longer big because a size 16 is now the national average
Saying that it does of course depend on hight, my middle daugher is 6ft tall and a size 16 and is a healthy weight
Where as I'm a size 16 and a fat bastard because I'm not as tall |

When I first joined fab I put myself down as a BBW but after messages from people saying that I'm not I changed it to ample.
I am a size 16 with wobbly bits.
In the process of losing weight tho so hopefully that will change soon.
i hate labels for anyone but as I see myself as large I've put it down |

Evans...the plus size clothes shop, start at size 14. 20 years ago it was unheard of to think of anyone below a size 18+ was large. Be who you are and either go without the labels (of life) or wear them for YOU!. |
