Ok ok i know name is quite explanitory but i've seen women of size 16- 18 calling themselves a bbw, and to me they don't look like they should be called such a term, i think size 16 is just normal. I'm a size 18 and know it is big, bigger than what most punters would like so therefore would i be a bbw in terms of attracting men who would prefer bigger women?? but then would they be disappointed that i wasn't huge!!? ha.  So sorry for all the questions, thanks again, k   

 I am a 16-18 but do not class myself as a BBW, but my friend who is a 14-16 does.!

I had someone leave last week because I wasn't as big as he'd expected. This was an aw client so no mention of BBW.

Apparently my ass and hips weren't big enough, i personally think i have huge-mofo hips.

sorry, just had to show one of my favorite stores LOL

Darlington girl, I would just describe yourself as "curvaceous" or "voluptuous" - that's what I do.  I'm a size 16 (sometimes 18  ) trying to get down to a 14 so wouldn't want to put myself in the BBW category (not that I think there's anything wrong with being described as a BBW!).  I know some think of a size 14 (and even 12) as curvy, but I'm of a "certain age" and can remember when a size 12/14 was considered slim (especially a 12).

Cassie, I don't think you need worry that clients will expect a slim modelesque type if you don't describe yourself as a BBW.  They should be able to judge from looking at your website and I personally wouldn't put you in the BBW category (that's not to say you aren't a Beautiful Woman!).  Everyone seems to have a different view of what a BBW is - perhaps the guys who go for BBWs would be the best ones to answer this.

Yes- it took me a small amount of time to 'get' that photo and it's connection!
I was looking at the redhead and thinking, is she a bbw then?
Duh!

Yep, I stared at this for a while, not getting it. lol

For the same reason that some people class a 30-year-old escort as "mature", you could be considered a BBW even if you're a pretty average size. People are always going to have different ideas of how big big is, so go with whatever you feel suits you and make it clear on your website where in the spectrum you fall.

No-one's mentioned height yet, and that's another reason dress size isn't the sole indicator. Size 16 and 5'1" isn't the same body type as size 16 and 5'10".

I am deffo a BBW (A Big Busty Woman) No emphasis on the beautiful bit, LOL.  I'm size 20 with 40DD/E bust, 5'3".  I have often  described myself as rubenesque, but a lot of blokes don't know what that means either!! LOL.
