How he made me feel

I am a BBW. I watch alot of older tv shows from the 80s. It never fails that in at least one of the episodes they make fun of fat women. A man rejects her or they make a snide comment about fat women. She's never the object of a man's affection.
I spent so many years of my life thinking that I would be lucky to find a man who would look past my weight and appreciate my personality. It wasn't until I was in college that I found a man who lusted after plus-sized women. He made me feel like a sexy woman. I have never felt that way since. I still think about him and miss that feeling. I know that many men prefer BBWs, but It's so powerful when someone makes you feel desirable even when you don't feel it yourself.

We live in a very fatphobic society and fat women definitely aren't respected. I have seen some more recent shows where a female character is just fat and everyone accepts that and doesn't make a big deal about it. I'm thinking of that show The Big C where Gabby Sidibe plays this character who is friends with the main character's son and no one makes an issue about her weight. There's one scene at a party where someone makes a rude comment, but this was clearly intended to show that person in a bad light and not to make fun of her as in the shows you're commenting on.

Many men such as myself find larger women attractive. I hope you meet someone who makes you feel the way that guy you knew in college did.
