Have you seen her recently? She has lost weight, but still has curves. Do you consider her too skinny now?

What I'm getting at is, don't generalize. If the washing machine girl was lily white, I believe she have no trouble having her fair share of white, black, latinos or whatever...men. It has nothing to do with their being more fat people down here or thinking only black guys are in to that type of shape. Guys like what they like no matter what color they are or where they live.
That's all well and good but it doesn't change the fact there's more fat shaming for girls up North, specifically White girls. Seems to be going the other way though.

I considered her too thin in Dreamgirls, so if she's lost weight since then, yes, I would definitely consider her too skinny...though I'm sure she doesn't care what I think...

And, Melissa McCarthy used to be a big enough for me to consider her a BBW, but IIRC she's also lost weight recently....

Going along with this, I'm a guy who's only into large, obese women. I need a lot of cushion for the pushin' I don't have one specific "shape" I'm into, though I do like women with huge back-sides. I like shorter pear-shaped women and women who are both tall & obese. I also find women that look similar to the BBW model Tess Holiday very attractive...

And, the misconception that thin guys aren't into big women does still unfortunately exist, though thankfully I'm noticing it less & less as time goes on...As a skinny white guy, some BBW's I've dated do seem somewhat surprised that I'm into them....I guess maybe they think I would be into thinner women - since I'm thin. That being said, based on my experience I've noticed quite a few BBW's are attracted to slender guys - which is great for me, and them

I just dont get how any man could not like hips and butt. Too much of it, i can understand especially if its artificial. There's always a line and every person gets to draw their own. But to me this whole discussion boils down to liking the things that make women...women. And please don't think I'm picking on you or your post or your personal likes but i don't get why some men get so...antagonistic about what other people find attractive. Unless you like women rail thin with no curves at all i don't get how some people could be so unable to accept the fact that a thicker, curvier woman is even more attractive then some. I don't see that as a fetish.(i know you didnt say that) To me and only me i think it is more fetishist to like extremely skinny rail thin women, women who weight train to become extreme body builders or women who are so heavy and so obese that they want them to grow even larger. Like the "my 600lb life women." Liking a bigger butt or a bigger chest then the next guy? Come on.
I'm pretty sure you didn't mean me, but at least in this thread I haven't been antagonistic to anyones preferences. It's not that I don't like hips&ass, when there's nothing else there, it's pretty awesome, I just prefer big boobs, or the whole boob/butt/hips/belly package.

OK, but that's not the topic though, now is it?

Wrong! You can have flab and not be overweight. You may not be "tight," but you're not necessarily overweight. I've seen very thin women with flab. It happens.

Honestly, in my experience, when men see female strippers, they are often mesmerized and very sexually turned on. Even those who aren't, even the poised playboys, think it's normal.

From what I've seen, in most cases, women see male strippers for a fun time. Women are usually laughing, joking, red in the face from the experience. Although us women see these guys as attractive, it pretty much always seems like a sexy joke vs. a real turn on.

Think about it: If a man's friend says something about going to a strip club, maybe for the evening or for a bachelor party, the other guy might smile and grin and say OK. In many cases, there is no smile or no grin. When women talk about seeing the Chippendales, it's usually a big, giggly, laughy event. No one takes it seriously.

So, when someone says, "There are no fat man strippers!" it's because, proportionally, there aren't that many male strippers at all. Women don't usually go to see strippers for their needs. It's usually just a joke or in good fun. There are female strippers of all sizes and types because men DO seek out female strippers for much more than just a good time and a good laugh at a bachelor party.
I forgot to ask you this: if you think the point of male strippers is just for women to laugh at and find humor, why DO they pick very attractive men to do so? They pick men that are quite chiseled. Wouldn't a fat guy provide more comedic relief?
