What is a Fat Admirer?

A "fat admirer", as stated in my previous post, is a person who is attracted to fat people. This term however, is mostly used as a way to label the men who like fat women. For example, I have been labeled as a fat admirer since I am attracted to fat women. For the women, however, there's the term "female fat admirers" (which is kinda obvious). These are the women who have an attraction for fat men. Also, these terms can also be used for homosexual and bisexual individuals as well. There was the term "chubby chasers" being used for the homosexuals, but from what I heard, they don't really use that term in the community anymore.

FAs can be classified into groups. There's the "closet FA," who is an FA but not very public about it and the "outed FA," who is an FA who is very public about it. People can be one or the other, but never both. Closet FAs are usually that way because they might be afraid that their peers might not accept it. Outed FAs, however, don't really care what their peers say and publicly announce their attraction to anyone. There are some people who are confused as to whether they are an FA or not. You might be an FA and not even realize it!

However, I will say that I don't really agree with the term. "Fat admirer" makes it sound like I'm only admiring the fat of a woman. Yes, I am admiring the curves, but I am also admiring the beauty of the woman in general. Fat women have a special kind of beauty that skinny women don't. Don't get me wrong, I love women of ALL sizes. I'm just more attracted to women of larger size.

Some folks believe that it is a freaky thing being attracted to overweight people. But for most of us, it’s just a preference. For example, there are some guys out there who are attracted to just redheads or blue-eyed gals. You don’t ridicule them for that, do you? So basically, there’s no reason to ridicule an FA for what he likes.

Peronally I like the term Chubby Chaser a lot better than FA so I propose we take it back from the homosexyuls!
