BBW and other Terms!

September 26 2010

I tried to post this the other day but something must have gone astray out there in cyber space so will try again! Talking to my daughter recently and were discussing various diffent things from the forums I mentioned that I really did NOT like the term BBW. I prefer the term voluptuous along with Rubenesque, maybe amazonian and even in some cases, pocket venus. In my mind, BBW conjures up images of really fat girls and women. When in my teens I was unfortunate enough to see a poater of a naked Momma Cass (for all you younger memebers, one of the original singers from the MOmmas and the Poppas. Mother of MacKenzie Phillips. Died many years ago. Choked on a ham sandwhich..Poor thing!) Anyhooo, she was morbidly obese and not attractive naked. This is the image that comes to mind with the term BBW is used. What are some of the terms you hate / dislike / can not stand and why? Fionabee

    I was talking to my 13yo the other day, Fionabee, and she told me I wasn't fat, that I was 'proportional', not sure I like the term, but her 14yo friend agreed. Is that a crappy word, or what? Anyhow, I am now considered proportional, though not sure if that is the case when my tops and dresses need to be two sizes bigger than my jeans.... I would prefer Rubenesque, and think I would have had a lot of fun with Rubens had I been around in his day (though the models he used didn't generally have large chests)...hmmm, wonder if I was in a past life... xxJ (musing about past lives and bonking Rubens).

    Quoting 'stemor'excuse my ignorance but what does BBW stand for is it big breasted women, big butted women , or blood big women? I thought it was a term that everyone used these days. It stands for Big Beautiful Woman. Fionabee

    interesting post as always fionabee - i'm by no means an overly large woman but i've got curves in all the right places and have been told i resemble a voluptuous greek goddess... womanly hips etc etc. I kinda like the idea that historically women who had figures like my own were a artists' wet dream. I often feel BBW - is just a silly catch phrase when nothing else creative will do. It also makes me think of morbidly obese ladies rather who are better described as buxom, curvaceous or voluptuous. Hmmm - ponders about being called or described as a 'Venus curved chocolate muse' yes i think that will do nicely!

    As a childless woman (by choice) in my early thirties I hate the following: MILF - tell why do women have to be a mother to be attractive? Yummymummy (accept of course the lovely lady on here who goes by a similar handle) - see reason above ...and I am sure as he day goes on I will find more to complain about.... However why do we need to have these labels in the first place???? Kisses Focus

    I agree entirely and by that definition I would then be a GILF as I have one or two grandkiddies stached away. Dont think I like the sound of GILF. Isnt that akin to what fish breathe out of? Fionabee.

    Im not a fan of the term myself although i use it out of convenience being that most people know what a bbw is but not everyone knows of ruben the problem i have is when women who are not big but have a few curves use this term it confuses it for everyone but i still prefer bbw to fat!!! Lol

    I'll jump on this topic like a fat kid eating a cup cake lolUm.... In my opinion, the term "BBW" isn't offensive to me, either is "Fat chick". I'm not going to sugar coat the fact i'm larger than the "average" size (14 - 16). I understand that some don't like being referred to as a "BBW" or "fat chick"I do love sensual terms such as "voluptuous" or "rubenesque" when describing figures. And how cute is "pocket Venus"!Thing is though, a size, lets say 10... could describe her figure as being voluptuous or rubenesque ... I wont insert a fat chick / love your body or else diatribe here - BUT i will say... variety is the spice of life!Anyone up for cake?

    Im very much a person who is keen on rubenesque woman, a sexy woman can be curvy and voluptuous (love that one, just oozes sex). I remember working with a young woman with a great curvy body who was tall. I told her she was my idea of an amazonian princess, she just loved being called that, she went from meek and mild to loud and proud. BBW should go, there are terms that truely explain what a woman is and can be empowering. I find confident voluptuous women hard to resist.

    I personally object to both the terms fat and chick. Is there something wrong with "larger woman"., or maybe "Bigger lass", posssibly "generous sized" and there is always the tongue in cheek one of "healthy" But I will never tolerate FAT CHICK! It is just insulting. According to all the statistics size 14 - 16 is an average size for an Australian woman so how can you then say you are a larger lass? Fionabee

    Nev baby I dont get the need to catergorise everything...if I want to put a square peg in a round hole why cant I?? If I dont know at what stage of a relationship I am at hell what kind of a relationship I am having why do I have to justify just so others feel comfortable?..I dont see myself as a MILF (please see previous post) or a Sub just Focus with her desires her wants her needs why label it at all???

    Ah use terms you're comfortable with?If you don't like using BBW or fat chick, don't? I'm comfortable with the terms...I don't think there is anything wrong with "larger woman" or "bigger lass", again whatever the individual is comfortable using. I don't understand, " According to all the statistics size 14 - 16 is an average size for an Australian woman so how can you then say you are a larger lass?" ... Please explain?

    ILUVTOSMILE, which part of your proportional, rubenesque, voluptous amzonian body would you like to share with me? Seriously. What is aBBW anyway. At what size do you qualify? I have never quite fathomed why a woman would call herself aBBW. I always believed it to be big beatiful woman but have heard so many other connotations of the term that it begins to sound derogatory. The womans body is the womans body, it is the outerskin of the toal package. Lets face it once you get over the exterior its on the inside when the goodies are. A well dressed (lets say ) fuller figured woman can turn you me on as she waltzes by just as much as a scantilly clad waif. AGHH, just my thoughts.

    But they are not labels, all you have mentioned above are nouns or brandnames or Registered business names. I have a name. Why should others then hang such a derogatory "term" on another person? And it is also beyond me why a woman would refer to herself as such. If I call myself a "fat chick" then it makes it okay for others to call me the same and that becomes soul destroying. Fionabee

    Like it or not, they still convey meaning and identity, ( and isn't that exactly the point of Trademarks/label....in that they seek to classify abd identify themselves a certain way)  therefore they classify and label in my opinion. I agree its a less than nice category to be placed in, though i am not quite seeing your point, other than some classifications are kinder to the soul than others.Cheers Nev

    Sweetheart...I dont actually look at brand names either - if I like something I dont care where it has come from...and when it comes to sexual likes and desires why do we need to use labels??? Why cant we just discuss with prospective partners what we are into instead of labelling ourselves as something...just because I enjoy certain aspects of BDSM doesnt mean that someone else does...a 'Top" as you have so eloquently termed it isnt always going to be into something a 'sub' is..and just because the 'top' is supposedly the more dominant in the situation if the sub doesnt like to do something it just isnt happening but one only learns the limitations through discussion...I am not going to allow or like you calling me a sub unless we have discussed previously my likes and dislikes and we have actually met...sure many are going to do so but I am not going to like it...and where other labels are concerned I am not a Mother so why do I get to fit into the MILF 'catergory', allowing yourself to be labelled as a BBW or a fat chick to myself and Fionabee means you are allowing people to see yourself in a derogatory light - by accepting these labels or tags being attached to your personality, likes, desires, name is giving people the right to see you in how they inetrepret them not necessarily in who you actually are...they allow people to use preconceived notions on what your personality traits are like and thus make judgments on you through their own misonceptions rather than through knowledge of who you are...

    I knew you would be sweety! I love that about you....you are no ones yes woman.Ok...So just because you don't look at brand names doesn't mean that they are not valid.....just not to you, i reckon plenty of people do. Why....because they identify with it.Everyone uses Categories and pigeon holing in their day to day life, even you, without even thinking about it.As for labelling sexual likes and dislikes, surely this is a quicker if not broad brushed means of narrowing down the search and identifying a potential playmate?For sure i agree there are lots of subtleties or sub categories. let me put it this way if i can, say you had a hankering for a dark skinned gentleman with a twelve inch dick, now would you search though all the profiles and discuss each mans dick size and skin colour or seach by category ( if such a search category exists ) to reduce the leg work? then discuss/negotiate the finer points with each man in that category.Also what about the guys who love BBW's ( sorry Fee )  might they like to use that category to narrow down there search.Focus I would never be so presumptious as to call you a sub, and i would never use the word BBW in a derogoratory fashion, but as you pointed out plenty would.Just as Categories and Labels exist and always will, unfortunately like many other things they will be incorrectly used, and that is something we have little control over.Cheers Nev

    Fionabee:I think you're forgetting the IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE TERM / NAME / BRAND / CLASSIFICATION...use it, if not don't. It's really that simple. No malice was meant my previous posts. I understand that a lot of women would never refer to themselves as a "fat chick" and are COMFORTABLE with using other nouns and adjectives to describe their figure. I think that's great! Once again, whatever the individual is comfortable with. Just for the record I never said that I call other women "fat chicks".I agree with nevandkj, " some classifications are kinder to the soul than others" Indeed they are... So should we scrap the word "fat" from the English language so no one is offend?I was just thinking about a childrens' song,"Five FAT sausages"... would the song be changed?Five voluptuous sausages?Five large sausages?Five big sausages?Five plus sized sausages?Hmmm some food for thought...

    "...allowing yourself to be labelled as a BBW or a fat chick to myself and Fionabee means you are allowing people to see yourself in a derogatory light - by accepting these labels or tags being attached to your personality, likes, desires, name is giving people the right to see you in how they inetrepret them not necessarily in who you actually are...they allow people to use preconceived notions on what your personality traits are like and thus make judgments on you through their own misonceptions rather than through knowledge of who you are...(focusliason)"Um... last time I checked, the terms bbw and fat chick were only used to describe your body shape or type.I don't think that people assume a certain type of personality trait, their likes or desires just because you're fat. At least I don't. I'd be pretty safe in saying that you can't judge a person's personality traits or desires based on their body size. Possibly their likes, regarding food.

    Honey you missed the bit where I was discussing subs and MILF in your quotation....this section was actually meant to refer to ALL labels whether they be about body shape or sexual desires and preferences not jus BBW...and many would see a BBW as someone who is desperate - fat girl cant get anyone else, desperate, insecure, regardless of if you are or not....personality traits yes???

    Either the people you mix with are not the same as most people or you do indeed have a rainbow outlook on life (and for that I salute you). People can - and do associate certain traits with terms such as fat chick, and Focus was dead on the mark with desparate. I have actually had one man admit that he targeted larger women because they were less likely to say no. Try also lazy. I do agree though, if the individual is comfortable being labeled as fat...fine with me, Voluptuous is never a term used when describing food but fat is; as in lard! And let us not confuse the issue by adding the euphamism PHAT to the equation. For those of you unaware of this term it stands for Pretty Hot And Terrific! Fionabee
