22M here, for the last couple years I have been entirely open about liking fat girls to my friends and family. They all think it’s funny, and there really wasn’t that much awkwardness at all (pretty much none with my friends, a little with my dad at first but he is cool with it now). It was weird because in my head it would be a big deal, especially since I live in a conservative area, but it really isn’t a problem at all. Everyone finds it amusing, some of my friends make fun of it lightly just like they would for anything else, and it actually just makes me happy since it’s true and it feels good to be authentic to myself.
Just be natural about it, don’t make it your whole personality but if anyone is talking with you about dating then bring it up and be confident. Liking 200 lb girls is pretty normal and it’s not some degenerate thing, it’s only going to feel like that if you are being weird and hiding it, letting other people’s imagination run wild. Obviously I don’t ever bring up feedism or ssbbw’s, I’m not into that in real life anyways, a couple people have asked if bigger is always better and I just say around 200 lb is ideal.
It’s 2024, there is so much weird stuff out there nowadays that most people don’t bat an eye at liking big girls. I’m honestly surprised how many people in my social circles know, and how little of a deal it is.
