What are BBW and BHM?

A BBW is pretty much a fat woman, considered to be overweight to most people of society. BBW is short for “Big Beautiful Woman.” A BHM is pretty much the male counterpart of a BBW. BHM stands for “Big Handsome Man.” Also, there are SSBBW and SSBHM, which stands for “Super-sized Big Beautiful Woman” and “Super-sized Big Handsome Man,” respectively. These are what FAs and FFAs tend to call attractive overweight people. I went searching through my old archives of FA information in my computer and managed to find an old chart explaining the weights of what is considered what:

Normal: <185lbs
Chubby: >185, <200lbs
Plump: >200, <250lbs
BBW: >250, <350lbs
SSBBW: >350, <550lbs

Now this chart can also go for BHMs and SSBHMs, as well. This chart happens to be a universal weight chart. However, it can be differentiated by height as well. For example, a woman who’s five foot two could weigh 350 pounds and be considered a SSBBW or a man who’s five foot eleven could be 250 pounds and be considered chubby instead of plump.

Of course, there is different terminology for the different type of women one can find. An overweight African-American female is considered a BBBW (Big, Beautiful, Black Woman), as well as an SSBBBW (Super-Sized Big, Beautiful, Black Woman). Also, an immobile woman could be considered an UltraBBW (Ultra-Sized BBW). However, the UltraBBW is rare, since not that many women are around the weight to be considered as such.

Strangely enough, there isn’t that many terms for the BHMs. In fact, BHM and SSBHM are the only terms I heard of. I have heard some males use the word “Rubenesque,” however.

Women who are BBWs or SSBBWs tend to feel bad about the way they look. However, most of them are pretty beautiful. It is society’s fault making them feel that way, because these women see girls like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian getting all the guys and being popular and everything. One instance that shows how BBWs are mistreated and wrongly portrayed in the media is the new Fox reality show, “More to Love.” These women are always complaining how bad they feel and how they can’t find a man because of their weight. Honestly, the only thing stopping from finding a guy are themselves. I know plenty of overweight women who have boyfriends and husbands, and some of them are bigger than those women on that show!

Honestly, if you’re a BBW, SSBBW, BHM, SSBHM, or anything in between, you should be proud. You all are extremely awesome and as attractive as any skinny girl or guy, if not better-looking! There’s absolutely no reason you should feel bad about the way you look. Don’t listen to the media when they say that you’re not attractive enough to find love, or that you shouldn’t go out and have fun because fat people don’t have social lives! You all are able to do anything you wanna do! So go out there and do it, and have fun while doing it! WAVE THAT PRIDE FLAG HIGH!
