BBW - Big Beautiful Women

UKBBW?  If you're not familiar with the term it stands for United Kingdom Big Beautiful Women, so UKBBW Dating refers to online dating for larger sized women and those who are attracted to them.  It's not the only acronym associated with this corner of the online dating world.  Others include BBM (big beautiful men, BHM (big hunky men), BHW (big hot women), HHH (hot, heavy, and hearty) etc.  You get the general idea so I'm sure if you find any more you can probably work them out for yourself.

Like all niche dating sites, if there's nothing in your personality that resonates with this speciality then it may seem a bit of an oddity, but the fact is that there are so many people who fit the profile for this market that it's become quite a large niche (pun intended).  We're always being told that too much weight is unhealthy but for some it represents fecundity, wealth, and beauty.  This attitude is found all over the world, from Africa to Western Samoa, as well as in some sections of Western society and it's often wise to take a step back to see these outlooks in context taking into account he history and culture of the day.

Lovers of larger ladies are nothing new.  Think of the paintings by Rubens.  The art of Rubens has given us the adjective 'rubenesque' which means 'plump or fleshy and voluptuous' when used to describe a woman's physique.  This of course is totally at odds with the current trend for super-skinny models, but they were only every intended to show of clothes, not to represent the norm, and most men will tell you that they prefer a size twelve to a size eight or less.  The BBW dating niche is for those who prefer women of sizes fourteen, sixteen and upwards so perhaps there are those who look upon the 'obesity epidemic' with some relish rather than a cause for concern.
