    I heard a doctor say that sometimes heavy people have strong bones.  However, the joints might wear out faster because of being heavy.

    Jiggles.

    Now, I know what ya'll are thinking. Nobody wants to see jiggles on a fat person. Well, you might be surprised at what qualifies as "obese." This site lets people browse images by height and weight. Technically, a woman who is 5'9" and over 202 pounds is obese. The women pictured here are 210: https://www.mybodygallery.com/search.html?gender=female&height=175&age=any&weight=122&pantSize=any&shirtSize=any&bodytype= 

    Now, check out these burlesque dancers. I'd be willing to bet the third woman (moving left to right), the fifth, and the sixth are all considered overweight by current standards, if not obese. I know you have a thing for athletic women with fewer curves, but I personally favor their figures over the others, and I can guarantee you if they were doing any kind of routine with shakes or shimmies that created jiggles, just about every eye in the house would be admiring them.

    Eek. I can't win today.
    Our site converts all links to https, and that site was just http. You can do a copy/paste into your address bar and remove the "s" or just run a Google search for "My Body Gallery" and plug in the height and weight. For that one, I used 5-feet 9-inches and 210 pounds.

    Sorry- I hot-linked it the first time and it was apparently a file type that iOS won't read.

  • Don't you think that the standard for obesity is more the choice of the "hunter" than the "game warden?" :)

    It's sexy. Well, it is for the men who like the BBW, and for the women who go for the bear type.
