Top 40 BBW (Big Beautiful Women) of All-Time

by: J. Anthony

As Hollywood continues to pressure beautiful women to lose more and more weight to be considered beautiful, I think it is time to celebrate “real women.” Real women are confident, sexy and beautiful no matter their shape or size. There is a phenomenon that started on the internet a few years back called BBW. BBW stands for Big Beautiful Woman.

This does not necessarily mean a fat woman. A BBW is a woman who is proud of who she is and isn’t ashamed of her body. Contrary to what Hollywood would have the world to believe, not every man wants a pencil thin woman. Many men want their women to be real. They want their women to have curves. A true BBW is confident, sexy and real. She is a Big Beautiful Woman. The following list is presented by the internet’s premier online dating site for BBW’s and their admirers (http://www.BBWSinglesFinder.com) which has been online since 2003.
