General

Closet FA's aside, I don't think the guys are shy cause you're fat, they're just shy in general with any and every female they encounter, at least thats how it is for me. :$

You do realize that if you know they are attracted to you, you could always approach them.

Not hating, just sayin'.

GO FOR IT! If the reason why they aren't approaching you is because they are afraid what their friends will think though, they aren't worth it. Good luck with your hunt!

This is what I like about the US society. People start to talk to strangers much more easily. Where I live, society is much more closed and people don't start talking to strangers unless there is a good cause for it. You would get a "you weirdo" look. If I am in a situation where I can start up a conversation I certainly do, but unfortunately I very rarely meet a nice big women that way.

Italy is in the south of Europe, and especially the Italians have a reputation of being womanizers. Not sure whether you will find many open FAs though. For what it is worth, the Italian stereotype of beauty is a blond, small-waisted, big-busted bimbo. Their ex-prime minister was "leading" by example...

Up to the age of about 22-23 I certainly did stay rather closeted, although usually ended up with the fat girl in a group of girls, but after that I made it very clear to even my friends that is what I prefered. Since then I was much more likely to compliment a larger girl than a slim one. Now when driving my taxi, or just out in public where I live, I am always complimenting larger women when there is a chance to talk to them.

Not long ago a woman got into my cab who looked gorgeous, we got talking and she said something about her son at high school, which puzzled me. I said to her that she must have had him at a very young age. She then said he was 17 and she was 40, in great surprise I told her I thought she was only about 28 (I really did think she was that young) and how stunning she looked. She could tell I meant it too, I think I made her day saying that. Shame the ride to her destination was a fairly short one.

Back when I was single I was not one to approach a BBW out in a public forum.

I met my wife eight years ago on a dating website specifically for BBWs and FAs.

The best part about BBW dating sites is that everyone is there for the same reason.

While FF is a great resource for fat-related content, it's my suggestion to any singles looking for "the one" to join one or more bbw dating sites.
