Attraction is a personal choice and as the old saying suggests, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Dating sites are not new to the Internet and neither are big beautiful/handsome men and women.
So what does BBW or BHM stand for and how they are different from general dating sites? Just like there are sites for religious beliefs, geographical locations and ethnic background, there are also sites to help full figured women and well built men find love.
The acronym BBW and BHM stands for big beautiful women or big handsome men. It is not uncommon to see these acronyms sprinkled through the internet because of the popularity and interest in plus size dating.
For years voluptuous women and well built men were considered to be outside of the dating scene. Today with BBW dating sites those theories have changed drastically. There are sites out there that cater to men and women of all shapes and sizes.
Although BBW dating sites cater to women and men that are heavier set, this does not necessarily mean fat, overweight or even obese like some may imagine. Think about women in history such as Marilyn Monroe, many of whom still consider one of sexiest women ever. By today’s standards Monroe was chubby, but when most people look at her they see a healthy, happy woman.
Many people are tired of the social pressure of conforming to unhealthy dieting practices; they just want to find love that is true, just like they are. Curves are in and the Twiggy body style is out. Many women and men alike prefer a little bit of meat on the bones of their mate. Since the BBW dating niche has surfaced, men and women have more choices in regards to their partner’s physical characteristics along with personality and other traits. Since everyone has different tastes, attractions and desires, it is important that people have choices with online dating. It would be a boring world if everyone liked the same color eyes, hair and body style, thank goodness for uniqueness and choices.
Here are a few sites. Have fun and ENJOY!
