Fat Admirers

[Goddess]

I find this concept so completely fascinating, and I was wondering if those of you on the site who identify as this, would explain it to me a little. This is the first time I ever heard of such a thing, and it's been mentioned a few times now.

Is it mostly the feeling towards a partner or sexual subject, or is it for overweight people in general?

I am bombarded regularly with the most vulgar and shameless hatred because of my weight, that it's almost hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of pride for being overweight, or pride in liking it.

I mean, for me, I find big, curvy women to be incredibly sexy, and even more sexy than thin women. (I actually feel kind of the opposite about men - I like 'em skinny - maybe because in my mind a woman's body looks more natural with the extra pounds?)

I live a healthy lifestyle, so the fact that people can't get past my weight clearly has mostly to do with their opinions or culturally influenced ideals of appearance.

Recently my ex told me he came to the realization that he really does like larger women.
Most of the women he's dated were bigger, and he always figured it was accidental, and he just didn't mind it, but now he's decided he actually is attracted to it and he has found freedom in that.

So, is all that even what it's really about? lol
