I want to thank you for your posts that are positive about the bodies of overweight men. In this era of body positivity, it seems that overweight men continue to be maligned, with the notion of being viewed as attractive in any capacity, romantic or sexual, being dismissed. I'm not saying that being overweight is okay, but I am absolutely saying that making people feel disgusting, unworthy, and awful based on their looks is terrible.
I've been overweight for the majority of my life and it has impacted everything I do, every thought and every action, and that includes how I see my body. My current partner is attracted to overweight men in general and me specifically and having the feeling of knowing that a person finds my body beautiful brings me to tears. Literally. She doesn't see past my body. She sees it and is attracted to it. Not in a fetishy way, but just the way that a regular person gets to feel.
All sorts of people are beautiful.
Thank you for that sweet message buddy, I agree and I’m happy you found someone who makes you feel that way! ❤️
Yeah, I’m fat too and it often feels like the only way fat people can hope to be loved is either to be loved despite their body or being fetishized for it but not just for themselves, the whole package. But I think there are more people out there who are normal enough to appreciate the whole package than we probably think in bleak moments.
And I think being overweight is ok and normal (though I just prefer the term fat), if it’s unhealthy is individual.
I’m aspec man but a few years ago I realized that at least certain types of fat men are pretty attractive to me. Also not in a fetishy way just, I like how these big men look. I think their shape is beautiful, their presence imposing and masculine and I imagine their bodies are nice and soft. I wish they would get more rep, I have a couple of times whined on here that when I want to see handsome fat men on screen I have to watch old movies where they play dapper villains...
