As a lifelong admirer of juicy, curvaceous women, I have observed an unfortunate phenomenon- some big girls think there is something wrong with guys who are attracted to their larger size.
It’s as if they’d prefer that a guy be attracted to them DESPITE their shape instead of BECAUSE of it. Obviously, most people want more than a physical attraction from a serious partner, but everyone deserves someone who finds them desirable.
I realize that this may often stem from not finding themselves beautiful and not being able to understand why anyone else would, and that the mainstream media’s tragically narrow portrayal of what is beautiful and sexy simultaneously creates and reinforces this negative self-image.
Still, it’s too bad.
A slightly funnier variation I’ve run into is the borderline plumpette who is offended upon learning that her suitor likes 'em large, as if to say “I’m not that fat, you jerk!”
