Anyone familiar with the term "BBW" (Big Beautiful Woman)? :notsure:
I'm sure you are.
Now...is anyone familiar with the term "BBM" or "BHM" (Big Handsome Man)?
Not so much.
You can be a fat female escort, make hella money (even after becoming dangerously obese), and make your size work for you.
As a fat man, you have to make money being talented TO make being fat work for you.
An overweight man has it harder overall because society will make excuses for an obese woman. We're just overly sensitive and walk on eggshells for women in general. Look at Oprah. Look at Tyra. Look at Anna Nicole Smith. Look at Dove ads. People cater to fat women and go "That's what a REAL woman looks like. She's CURVY. A REAL WOMAN has curves."
...or there's the "Well, she had children and hasn't had time to get to the gym" angle. Too many sympathetic factors.
If you're a fat dude, you're just considered a lazy piece of shyt and your wife/GF would feel justified in getting attention from a dude with a 6-pack.
