I read this thread a few months ago, seems it was revived.

To answer yes, I would. In fact one of the women I am dating is BBW, and she is 35 to my 27.

Not that I do it all the time or have a fetish, but I have been attracted to different types.

I would definitely do a Kirsten Vangsness-type BBW. :o Anything bigger, I’d have to think about it.

Depends on what you define as “Big”. 200lb+ woman under 6’ tall? Probably not. Anything over like 160-170 is probably getting above my zone of interest. I weigh 165 and would have a hard time with a girl who was heavier than me, unless she was significantly taller which wouldn’t be an issue for me. My wife is a few inches shorter though.

I wouldn’t do so now, being married and all, but I have dated several larger women, including one who was very large. I went out with her for quite a while, in fact, and suspect (from things she’d said) that very few other guys had.
