There is the opposite stereotype, which I have personally encountered through friends’ accounts, that many attractive women just lie still on their backs (‘wet fish syndrome’)and don’t do any work in the bedroom because they are ‘resting on their laurels’ ie. they don’t have to try to please men because they are so hot and that’s enough; men always come to them. In contrast, fat women, who, for obvious reasons, can feel unattractive, try harder to please their partners in bed because they feel that purely physically they are not adequate sexually. So maybe a lot of fat women are actually better in bed for this reason and there is some truth to the stereotype, though not attributable to either the ‘appetite’ or ‘desperate’ theories which you write about.

Well I’m a fat girl, and I’m not married. And yeah, it sucks. I hate being fat. I know that I’ll never get below a size 16 even if I try, but I also know I’ll always want to be. At 250lbs, I’m bigger than my mom, bigger than pretty much everyone I know. I just gotta say its hard being a bigger girl, and I definitely have self esteem issues. Even when I hear that there are guys out there who like bigger women, I never seem to meet any. Seems like it was a joke meant to torment me, I feel like i’ll never find anyone

But I also know that it goes both ways.

How very classy and open-minded of you. *sarcasm*

When will some of you bigger ladies realize that when you make demeaning comments about thinner women, you only sound jealous and hateful?
ALL women have issues with their bodies…don’t assume that because someone is thin, she is either anorexic or a bitch who hates you because you’re fat.

Love yourselves and allow other people to be who they are. Live your life. Stop judging and bashing naturally thin women who are probably not even focused on what you eat or what you wear. I’m thinner than most of you and I will assure you that my time is better spent on activities like helping an illiterate person learn to read or traveling with my husband.

I honestly do not care about another woman’s size, because I am not a shallow person.
There are thinner women out there who are actually caring and sensitive individuals but you all are so busy bashing us for being a size 4 or 6 that you won’t give us a chance.

When will you learn that there are different types of people in this world? Just because some thin people can be unkind, does not mean that we all are.

Think about it.
