My understanding of this abbreviation is big beautiful woman. Big arse, big tits and a lot of the time, a big midriff.
Somebody, in the last week, from fab attempted to sow a seed of doubt in my head. I still can't find answers so please let me know what you think:
Is the term BBW derogatory? Please note that I am not asking if you would meet one or not.

"I think it is more silly than anything else.
but not derogatory.
 i don't agree with the term purely because beauty has nothing to do with size"
Fuck me, your profile name!!  Anyway, if someone referred to u as a bbw, would you think he was being disrespectful? |

I don't use the term BBW because I think everyone is beautiful to someone - not just chubbies 
I am sometimes messaged as BBW and I don't take offence but I wouldn't use it myself.....I prefer fat or chubby - because I am - the beautiful is very subjective  |

I'm not talking about calling you a bbw. I am talking of the term bbw.
Do people or bbws find the term bbw offensive? |

Like people said it's subjective I think beauty is in high of the beholder. I'm a size 16 to 18 and consider myself a chubby I've had messages who say nice curves and messages who won't meet cause of my size so it's purely the persons perspective. |

I don't find it offensive but I don't think I'm all that big so I tend to just ignore it. I prefer curvy although that in itself opens up more conjecture. Ya canny win! |

Some people will some people won't. I don't find it offensive but others will. Plus what I'd class as a bbw might be completely different to someone else. |

I wouldn't think he was being disrespectful but I would worry that I would just be a fetish for him rather than just liking me for me |

I'm not a fan of the phrase at all. There is far too much emphasis on women's body shapes and sizes. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and labels serve no purpose |

I am a very large lady at size 22 to 24 and find the term bbw much easier to explain than putting I am fat so don't mind bbw at all but do get frustrated that men feel anything over size 12 is big that is unrealistic guys I'm totally open about how big I am an confident in my own right what guys have to do is start looking at individuals not mass us ladies into sections |

U.K. Averages are pretty high in terms of 'big' or not, across men and women, but beauty is something that's purely individual.
Also, some women suit curves and look great, others do not, same as some with other builds. Stick with what you like, if somebody called me athletic or skinny (I think that's as offensive / descriptive as fat and wouldn't say I am anyway) I wouldn't be offended in the slightest. |

If they arent big build ones, unless you wish to retract your previous statement? |

If someone chooses to call or describe themselves as that, fine.
But it's not a term I particularly like and I've been a little offended when it's been used to describe me a couple of times.

I refer to myself as a BBW. The term is subjective to the user.
I use it to let people know that I'm a larger lady. And I like it - big beautiful woman. I think I'm beautiful, and I'm a big woman. |

I'm interested in the slimmer women who have been called BBW. It's clear to me you're not...why do you think you've been called it?
I don't mind the term, but then I think I'm deserving of both Bs and i'm definitely a W!  |

It's a term I dislike, but I don't like labels in general , like MILF, Cougar etc.
But it seems to be a term that's here to stay as some clubs have BBW nights and I guess it's hard to think of an alternative that doesn't offend anyone.

I see it as a "ready reckoner". If you see bbw you know you're not getting Victoria Beckham. Thing is there are those that believe those that call themselves that are delusional re the second "b".
Like with most things how people describe themselves be it slut, bbc, tranny, bbw that's fine, just don't assume it's universally accepted. |

If people wish to refer to themselves as BBW then fine. I don't refer to myself as this and I don't expect others to call me this either.
As for what the initials stand for, I am not offended or query the 'beautiful' bit. People should stop being quite so literal. It is merely used to describe a larger lady who is confident with her size, its meant as a positive term.
We all know that no all larger ladies are beautiful just as an equal amount of slimmer ladies are not beautiful either  |

It's probably from guys that only watch porn and don't pull in real life. Anyone over a UK size 10 is classed as bbw or chubby |

Some very intriguing answers. Does BBW therefore fall into the same category as ' tall and dark", " rugby build", " blonde hair", "trimmed beard", " man with tattoos" which we normally see on women's profiles? They therefore want those men for those traits and not the men as who/ what they are? |

Fella, do you realise how quite the thread went after your last post?
You have quite a valid point but sadly in the real world nobody likes to be proved wrong.

I agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but do also think that voluptuous is a far better description to a woman that has big curves which in general BBW alludes to.
Big breasts, a big ass and belly and sometimes thick thighs are things that are generally attributed to the common phrases used but none of the mean generally fat. Good rule of thumb it's breasts bigger than belly |

I think the moral of this thread is that women can describe themselves as BBW (if they like the term) and if a lady does use BBW to define herself, feel free to use it in message.
Guys need to have a bit of sensitivity otherwise (size and body shape can be a sensitive subject for both sexes). Complement her on appearance, humour, pics etc just don't use the term as not all girls are comfortable being described as such. |

If I were a betting man, I would bet my dick that the OP is a bbw fan. Some may not like the term bbw, which is of course their prerogative.
Truth be told, I never heard of the term being used as an insult. Never in my life until I came across this thread where the OP is being thrown to the wolves.
Loads of BBW threads on here and not a single user said they disliked the term.
Give OP a break!  |

To me BBW is just a simple way of describing yourself.
So its a label?? So what if some dont think the 2nd B best describes all BBW.
I like being known as a BBW..
I dont class myself as beautiful, im just me, and i am ok with that.
Id never class a size 10-18 as,BBW, and id only class 18-22 as voluptuous. Any size larger id class as BBW.
Its a simple label...just BBC,BHM,PETITE,BWC.
So simple yet seems to create such a stir.  |

I think its because it used to be used for 20+ and now its for used everywhere 14+ |

I used to work with a very large woman who constantly told me I was 'skinny' I told her I didn't like it and she would laugh. I called her 'fat' just once as an experiment and you'd think I'd shit in her handbag!
BBW means Big Busty Woman to me. |

If women describe THEMSELVES as a BBW (or MILF or cougar or whatever) then it's not offensive to use those 'labels' when talking to them. Just don't overdo it ... don't harp on about how that's the only thing that you find attractive about them.
And if a woman doesn't slap a label on herself, then woe betide any man who thinks he has the right to 'label' her! |

As a big/fat/thick/large/plus size etc lady, I don't like the term BBW I find it a weird term, it doesn't sit right with me. But I understand that people use it to describe plus size women they find attractive. So i'm not gonna be offended by it but I may ask someone not to call me BBW if I feel they overuse the term with me. |

Tbh, i don't think anybody would address a bbw as "bbw". Dafter still to constantly mention the term by way of pillow talk. Just daft. It does not happen. But hey, feel free to like it or dislike it.
By the way, any bbws who wish to contact this bbc, feel free. Txt speakers, feel free.
Safe sex as always. |

I don't like the term. For starters, it seems to denote that big always equals beautiful. Which to me means someone calling me that is fetishising my size rather than me as a person. Plus I have worked bastard hard to get from a size 22 down to a 14. Calling me a BBW would be akin to a slap in the face. |

People have contacted us on here and said that I am a lovely BBW, oh I love BBWs, BBW's are my favourite etc. and people have used the term when we have been at clubs too.
As I said I don't find it offensive I just don't particularly like the term. |

"If you message a woman who is size 14-16 and say "mmmm i love BBW women" she has every reason to block you.."
Why just those sizes? A lot of bigger women dislike it but they just have to accept it cos they're chubsters?
A lot of 14-16 women use it as a descriptor. I've even seen someone who was a size 12 use it.
There is no defined size at which it is used, there is no rule to say anyone who is over a size 18 must use it or like it being used when addressing them. |
