Since times immemorial, art and culture have celebrated voluptuous female figure. A woman with an hourglass figure has always been regarded as the perfect form of beauty. A woman with big breasts, narrow waist and broad hips has been traditionally regarded as fertile. Curves are regarded as one of the best physical assets of females, which make real men go crazy. Despite mainstream media celebrating zero-figure and stick thin body shapes these days, many men actually love women with traditionally curvy body shape – a la Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez or Bryce Dallas Howard. Women in the plus-size community now recognize that there are takers for their ample charms.
Just like there are plus-sized women, there is a sizeable population comprising of plus-sized men. Most of these men are absolutely comfortable with dating or even marrying bigger women. BBW dating websites offer a comfort zone to such men and women to meet online and get familiar with each other. The BHM or Big Handsome Men population is the male counterpart of BBW, and most members of this population are open to dating bigger women.
With discussions about all body types coming to the fore, and many women urging men to have tolerance for all body types, it is natural that the BBW population is not afraid to come forward. There are plus-sized clothes and seats being made by big brands, and stars like Oprah Winfrey and Kirstie Alley are not afraid to show their confidence in being ‘Big’. Naturally, with bigger women growing coming out in the open in the dating scene with more confidence, BBW dating sites are enjoying more growth in membership. Men are also becoming more aware that women with curves and slightly more fat are sexier to date than scrawny girls who look like brooms with long hair.
