Usage
Although "BBW" may have been first used and copyrighted in the context of BBW Magazine, the term's usage spread over the years, to the point that even women who had never heard of the magazine began to refer to themselves as "BBWs."

Some women may adopt the term as a personal preference over the term Rubenesque, or full-figured, because they may not necessarily have large breasts or hips. Such terms, and others such as "queen-sized", "plus-sized", or "fat" may lead to feelings of marginalization or non-inclusion for some women. However, some strongly prefer the term fat over other words which they consider unnecessary euphemisms.

The term is also commonly used as a positive euphemism by people involved with the fat acceptance movement, who often reject the descriptor "obese".

Today, the abbreviation is often found in personal ads (and online dating services) denoting an identification with (or preference for) such women.

The term BBW is also used to denote events specifically targeted to such women, and persons interested in them, such as specific gathering nights in dance clubs, restaurants, fashion stores and shows, etc so that an environment of acceptance is achieved by having like-minded or like-bodied persons in attendance.


Never liked the word FAT we are all built different
BBW it's not only how others see you it's how you see yourself
Butt ( punn intended ) counts more

about 45 lost it at 50 I was very happy learned a hard lesson
it takes time to get past it all
once i knew it was baggage it hurt at some point ya gotta just cut it off. But the hurt and anger ya gotta let go. Lets say ya had a suit case full of stuff ya loved and over time the outside got worn out but ya loved whats inside, it's not bagage. But ya got a real pretty suit case and everything inside wears out let it go the longer ya wait the heavier it gets. Worse mistake picking it back up

enjoying it

very well said
