The Boundaries and Margins of BBWism

Cpalmson,

It isn't a matter of subjective beauty. This girl got me all hot and bothered despite her dimensions. I could say she's 5'6" and 150 lbs but it could be 170 and I ain't gonna ask. It is more in the descriptive possibilities. With all deference to those who suggest MM or Cindy Crawford are BBW's, to compare my friend to those icons of beauty is both laughable and inaccurate. My friend may be a size 10 but she is multiples of my size 2 (or 0) ex.

What I'm searching for is a reasonable label or description so I can write a credible review that conveys both her "thickness" and her beauty. The cliches and norms of facial beauty are easy but not so for heft. I thought Rubenesque might work since P.P.'s works are accessible on the internet, but sadly the adjective might be missed by many.

There has to be a word or phrase that captures this girl's body type that is accurate but not perjorative.

Much like "BBW", sizes are pretty amorphous...
Depending on the brand name, I wear a size 10,12, and 14.

I think the review the described me the best was the one that stated...

"not a spinner but sure not bbw, just right milf,"

Having seen your pics, I wouldn't consider you a BBW Tiffany...I also wouldn't put you at 170.

That's a pretty good description really. Can be so tricky to describe a woman who is neither "big" nor "small"...I doubt many women would be flattered by "average build"

I'm one of those clients who has a "fetish" for larger women, I admit it (well, not so much a "fetish" for larger women as rather an avoidance of women who strike me as too skinny; a "rule 100" spinner is probably not the woman for me, unless her reviews suggest that our personalities are going to mesh extremely well)...

I have to confess I've never thought about the whole "BBW"* label though, and its implications. I can't recall if I've ever described a provider as "BBW"; if I have thank heaven she's never taken umbrage at it. Or at least hasn't told me she has... and hasn't refused to see me a second (or more) time because if it.

My favorite descriptive adjectives for my favorite women tend to use some form of the term "curvy". "Well curved", "generously curved", "curvy", or my favorite, "I am a man who believes that God meant for women to have curves, and she has them. Thank you, God!"



Cheers,

bcg

* The most recent time I've been tempted to describe a lady in a review as "BBW" (I didn't give in, though it was a close call), I would have said something like "She's a 'big beautiful woman', with a stress on 'beautiful'; she is without a doubt one of the prettiest women it has ever been my pleasure to meet..."

Speaking of curvy (see my last post)... if your pictures are accurate you're "just right" in my book. If I visit San Antonio will you do me the honor of a romantic stroll along the Riverwalk?

hmmm this is interesting!

IN MY OPINION....any woman who stands at attention,and she is wider from her chest to her hips than her shoulders...she is a bbw

Is he is narrower at the top and wider at the hips...she is hippy


I think that this debate will never be solved....lol

One thing I noticed was that the lassie had an extremely well-padded pudendum, so much so that I had a hard time getting to her goodies. Let's put it this way: face sitting was a bit challenged. Although the spirit was willing, the tongue was a bit short of the mark.

Is that a "curvy" model thing, or is it more in line with a well-equipped "BBW" model?

Maybe that will focus our discussion a bit.

However, while face sitting is less an option, there are ways of getting around it (inverted 69, or just going at it from above, as it were, works best, IME, though using your hands to get better target exposure during "conventional" DATY is also an option. Where there's a will, there's a way).

That's a feature of the curvier models on up through BBW, and over (i.e., SSBBW, or "SuperSized BBW").
