"What bothers you most about women on fab? I’ll get shot down for this, but the BBW tag Interesting one. What specifically about it?" I’m almost afraid to say! As somebody who likes to be fit and healthy, I just find it weird that some women use the BBW tag as something of a badge of honour. I totally believe in the ‘each to their own’ ethos and there’s a somebody for everybody, but I find the ‘big’ and ‘beautiful’ to be something of an oxymoron - it’s just something I don’t understand why people would be proud of it. | |||

I hear you. I think the current climate has been big on encouraging plus-size women, hence there's such a pride. I kind of just have the 'live-let live' approach to it, as long as people know that you're not everybody's cup of tea and wholeheartedly at least accept yourself, as it doesn't make much sense to be proud if you yourself see it as a con rather than pro. | |||

"haha the women are piling in on their thread the men are keeping their gobs shut mostly on this one very wise!!!" It just shows how each respective gender has been conditioned to behave a certain way. A lot of women feel entitled due to many the men who will pander for some pussy, you see. Don't worry, fellas – this is a safe space 
It would be nice to hear out each opposite's perspectives and maybe learn something moving forward. | |||

I believe man should feel as comfortable as women do making criticism of the opposite gender, whether its tongue in cheek or not. For whatever reason women (and obviously I count myself!) do seem to take criticism more personal and are possibly offended by mens comments, whereas men seem to generally brush it off? The internal battles with self esteem are probably similar but external reactions seem initially more volatile when women are criticised.
Also why are men so worried about verbalising critique?
Sorry to burst in and waffle like that but it genuinely interests me! | |||

It’s volatile at best and venomous and vitriolic at worst. Men often think what we’ve said isn’t all that bad but it’s hell hath no fury verbal vengeance in return from a woman.

"My inner psychology nerd is loving this!
I believe man should feel as comfortable as women do making criticism of the opposite gender, whether its tongue in cheek or not. For whatever reason women (and obviously I count myself!) do seem to take criticism more personal and are possibly offended by mens comments, whereas men seem to generally brush it off? The internal battles with self esteem are probably similar but external reactions seem initially more volatile when women are criticised.
Also why are men so worried about verbalising critique?

"Largely because assigning behavoir traits to a given sex is mostly fine if that sex is male but unacceptable to many if the sex in question is female. So where there are genuine issues like patriarchy it becomes reasonable to place blame on a man simply because he is a man. Expressions like mansplaining are socially acceptable - no one seems bothered that it implies a person's behavoir is predicated by their biological sex. This is the reason I won't answer this thread. Any issues I may or may not have had on fab are issues with a person not with all women. The idea that there are behavoirs that are somehow common to all women is frankly bollocks. Mr | |||

"Nothing at all.. Impressed by most comments and threads I’ve read so far and growing to like this community Impressed to see open minded conversations that have real value If that’s ok?" Booooo! No!

"It's mainly a numbers game... because of the high number of men the ladies can afford to be hyper choosy.... For the guys we have to offer exceptional attractions for them to indulge us with their attention.... and if they get bored .. there's another fifty or so more blokes to choose from
And yet there are still a lot of complaints as to the quality of what’s on offer."You gotta kiss a lotta frogs before you can find a prince | |||

"What bothers you most about women on fab? I’ll get shot down for this, but the BBW tag Interesting one. What specifically about it? I’m almost afraid to say! As somebody who likes to be fit and healthy, I just find it weird that some women use the BBW tag as something of a badge of honour. I totally believe in the ‘each to their own’ ethos and there’s a somebody for everybody, but I find the ‘big’ and ‘beautiful’ to be something of an oxymoron - it’s just something I don’t understand why people would be proud of it." I wouldn't use the BBW label for myself to be honest. But the categories are pre set and there isn't another to describe my body type. | |||

Mr"That is very true. And if we are to ever achieve gender equality we’ll need to adopt a more encompassing definition of sexism ie “a discrimination based on sex” and not like you see far too often: “a discrimination based on sex, especially towards women.” I don’t deny that it incurs more towards women. Instead I’m saying that as long as such discrimination is accepted towards one sex (any one) we’ll always pit one against the other, we won’t sort out the issue (which is rather prominent on Fab) hence won’t find peace. | |||

"Well I’m gonna be the idiot... feck it. Every days a school day....up until I read this thread I thought a BBW meant big bouncy woman...Yep I said it" Big bouncy woman! I love that!
I sometimes use the term BBW just so that the person I'm speaking to has a realistic expectation of my body type. I know that not everyone fancies a fat lass, and I'm not offended by that. | |||
