To fancy men with big bellies?

I have a 'thing' for men with big bellies. Always have. DH has one. I'm always touching it, looking at it etc, I've no idea why I like it. 🤨🤨

I often worry that there's something wrong with me. I never, ever would attempt to manipulate anyone like those 'feeder' documentaries you see on TV. It's not about food, I just fancy men with big bellies in general. I know it's unhealthy to store fat there and I feel guilty about that. But I can't help liking it. It's like a fetish.

AIBU?

It’s probably a learnt response. My first love had a belly and because of him, I found them attractive even for quite a while after him. My next love was a cyclist and I found cyclists sexy for a while…

So I think it’s nothing more than a learnt association.

I have a friend (yes really, it honestly isn't me) who is female, young and pretty but has a fetish about being with old, fat, ugly men. She says it's something to do with the taboo nature of it, and also she says she gets off on seeing her youthful pretty body pressed up against the beer belly, amongst other things. Really! I guess it takes all sorts.


(No jokes from men about passing on their number please, she gets it all the time and doesn't find that funny)

Each to their own OP @bigbellyliker 😱
I like a bit of chunk but not a pot /beer belly.
Can they tie their shoes? 😂😂😂

I hate to 'judge' on appearance, especially as I'm nothing special myself, but I couldn't be with someone under say 5ft 6in. I'm a short woman.

Again, like with the belly thing, I've no idea of the reason why ConfusedConfused

I like big bellies, I much much prefer them. I can still find slim men attractive though. So they don't have to be big. It's just that a huge belly for some reason drives me absolutely insane with lust GrinGrin. Guess then it's not as concerning as I sometimes think it is.

I like slim, muscular men but am fat myself. One of my friends loves chubby men with big bellies. Doesn’t do it for me at all! My partner is typically attracted to slim/athletic women so he went completely west with me. Nothing to do with control he just found me attractive 🤷🏻‍♀️
My type is slim men but I wouldn’t rule out chubbier men at all!

[quote OldGreyBoots]@BeingATwatItsABingThing that's funny, the thought of being small next to someone makes me really uncomfortable, especially in a partner scenario! I still wear heels when I feel like it (which isn't often to be honest) and he has no complaints that I'm taller Grin
This is a really good thread, I love everyone's different preferences![/quote]
I’m smaller than average (5ft3) so it’s not difficult to be taller than me. My DH is 6ft and the ‘runt’ of his family. Apart from his mum and one sister, the rest of his family are all taller than him.

It’s definitely good we all like different things. Grin I say this to my group of friends regularly. The four of us have very different taste in men and that’s a good thing because we’ve never been attracted to the same men.

This is such an interesting thread. Thank goodness we all like different things. Human diversity is great.

I don't mind thin or chunky or muscular but what they all have in common is they have to be tall. And I mean proper tall, 6 foot is baseline, 6 foot 2 and above really.

I prefer a bit of a tummy, (though not obesity), I like the soft tactile fleshiness of it. Six packs do nothing for me. My first love had a soft beer belly (well, probably a pie and chips belly to be honest). I think that probably wired my sexual attraction programming Grin

Don't mind short men. I'm short myself and it's nice to be able to look them in the eye without getting a crick in my neck.

@OldGreyBoots

For what it's worth I've only ever been attracted to men who are shorter than me, preferably also skinny (which I am not!)
It's maybe unusual, like yours, but O wouldn't ever deem it unreasonable - we can't help who we're attracted to!

I know some couples where the woman is a lot taller than the man. It's as if opposites really did attract!

Among slebs, there is Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl and also Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart. Definitely, the former couple, he is a lot shorter than her and they make a very beautiful couple.

We like what we like!

@OldGreyBoots

Oh no! Tall, dark and broad. I like that DH hugs me and I fit under his chin. I can also wear whatever heels I want (rarely at all anymore though) and he’s still taller than me. I like feeling small next to him.

Had a boyfriend in college who was like an inch taller than me, blonde and super slim. He drove me absolutely crazy. My DH is the opposite of him in every way.

I don't like men who have big flabby bellies,usually caused by overeating crap food, too much beer, or no exercise. They look awful when bare chested,with baggy shorts , and the overhanging paunch, and still look awful in a bulging T shirt.

I'm the opposite. In my dating days I used to love tall, skinny men; my friends used to refer to them as 'the stick insects' Grin

If both men and women didn’t find a bit of tummy attractive, there would be a hell of a lot of single people in this country.

Ooh John Goodman ShockWink. He is seriously sexy!!

It's not necessarily the big pot 'belly' per se that I like, but I guess it's mainly focused on that. Which is why I feel it borders on an actual fetish.

I also like kind eyes, broad shoulders, hairiness, big hands, nice smile.

I prefer men who are big and cuddly all over. Nothing worse than a big pot belly and skinny arms and legs.

Give me John Goodman or John Candy any day.

Ohhh I love a big, cuddly chunk of a man with a snuggly tummy. Plenty of man there to love I say! OP, nothing wrong with that. I find slim men a real turn off.
