Why is there no BBW version for men?

Fat chicks have garnered a lot of attention in recent decades by trying to convince us that they're hot. They have invented terms like BBW (Big Beautiful Woman), have been featured in commercials, model runways, and graced magazine covers like Cosmopolitan (https://twitter.com/Tess_Holliday/status/1034807072687177729 ) - poor health be damned. I've even started to believe that all they eat is salad instead of cake due to the amount of propaganda shoved in my face.

Why hasn't the "body positivity" movement extended to men? Who is out there championing fat men and calling them studs that shouldn't be ashamed of themselves and encouraged to wear speedos at the local pool? This is a double standard that needs to be rectified.

The Speedo™ suggestion might wants some re-thinking, given the tendency of bellies to hang over and completely cover up that tiny garment. Not to be cheeky about the other viewing angle.

Surely the question is: Why aren't these fat men (your term) asserting themselves positively instead of whining that society isn't doing enough for them. If they want to be called Big Burly Studs why don't they just say so, like the women did?

As a guy who has trouble finding 32" waist pants among all the 46" and up, and must search racks full of jackets and shirts the size of tents hiding the few 40" options, I don't think your 'fat men' are society's rejects in quite the same way as the women, who are your example.

But it is kinda cute to read the novel claim that men are being body shamed. Looking around at the slobbily dressed, overweight, badly groomed majority of men walking about, I'd say it's about time there was a little more of that going around.
 
Clearly someone has not heard of the Dad-bod, teddy bears, mountain men...

There are a few other terms.
 
I find men are shamed for their bodies in a different way.

as a teenager I wanted to be muscular and ripped. arnold shwartzenagers body building book was my bible. I think I still have it. my point is that we as men in order to compete with other men for the attention of female will do many things to stand out. something even when it is harmful to their bodies. pushing our bodies beyond their physical abilities, steroids, HGH, plastic surgery(implants), etc.

we as men shape ourselves based upon what women find attractive. when we are not that ideal figure we are shamed being called "creepy", fat, hairy, bald, etc....

not all men can attain the "perfect or ideal" societal(womens) expectation. when we do not we are seen as less attractive. this may happen due to biological selection process or cultural bias towards certain aesthetics.

women have these expectations as well, but as men I find we are much more diverse in what we find attractive. tinder and okcupid had a study where women found only 20% of men attractive while men found found 50% of women attractive. women are definitely more hypergamous then men. if they were not, our species would not have made its this far.

Men don't loose confidence from their body shape. I know how novel this is but men and women are different. Differences go so far as to what our roles are and how we see ourselves fulfilling them. Women are built to bare children (I know western society is desperatly trying to change that, good luck with that). Men are built to hunt, protect, and build.

An OVERWIEGHT vs a healthy weight woman is less suited to bare, deliver, or run after kids. https://www.obgyn.theclinics.com/article/S0889-8545(09)00039-4/abstract

Men don't have the same issues in their genetic role. Increased weight, can in many cases be beneficial to hunting, protecting, and building.

thats one bio-psychological theory anyway.

Now I'll get ready for opinions to the contrary or just the outright bullying.

If you're sitting in a tree blind with a ladder, and a telescopic sight on your rifle you can be an obese hunter and still bag your deer. But if your family needs the food and all you have is a spear you'd best be slim, fit and fast. On the other hand back at the cave, Mrs. Hunter need only outrun clumsy kidlets with legs half as long as hers, and if she's gonna birth enough of them to survive into your old age and hers to feed you both when you're arthritic, she'll be eating for two more months of her life than she doesn't. One of the reasons she's built with the hips to carry it.

Overweight is bad by definition, and that goes for both men and women. Don't think you got away with changing your terms unnoticed when you talked about increased weight in men being beneficial, I've had to work with and compensate for fat construction guys who couldn't get through ordinary openings. There's a certain amount of muscle and fat that's best for any individual. That includes some overage to see that human through some lean times. But beyond that, it's all bad for you, no matter what your gender. We call that pathology obesity.

Dad-bod is not an endearing term, especially when it's used on guys in their 20s. Teddybear could men fat but it generally means a big guy - he could be 6 foot 5 and pure muscle but he's just a "teddybear" meaning nice harmless guy. Mountain man - he's usually tall and fit and can cut down trees with an axe. He loves lumber and can start fires without a lighter, and wrestle big game with his hands.

Gays also use the term Bear for big burly dudes.

This isn't about what gays call each other.

You're right but biology and genetics need not play a role in our social world. We must reject both to attain complete equality and to do so we must begin telling fat men that they're gorgeous, just like we tell fat women.
 
Obesity is a serious problem in our society but we need to promote obesity as a positive thing to men and not just women. Glorifying unhealthy living should be something that is heavily marketed to everyone equally. Half our kids are now obese and will soon be a majority and majority rules.

When they're the majority, they can certainly do that.

I though this thread was you talking reasonably about the here and now. Silly me.

There was a survey that showed that many women like dad bods

Here's another article

I think women only like dad bods in a self serving way...it is less intimidating for them when comparing their bodies to a partner that isn’t a beach god.
Also, I don’t think men have feelings of inadequacy about their bodies in the same way a woman might. Our equivalency to BBW would be to find an enduring term for a man that can barely get by financially.

A bohemian?
 
All men strive for fitness. Most Dads strive for their kids and family. I think the exact same goes for women and Moms.

I think the happy medium is in the middle somewhere as I've yet to meet anyone to hit the all of fitness/body/parent/career targets. I'd love to hit all targets at the same time AND keep it up.
