Dear Askaguywholikesfatchicks:

Why do you like fat chicks?

—Sincerely, A Fat Chick

I’m so glad you asked. But the answer is: I don’t know. It’s the same I-don’t-know that pubescent boys will tell you after waking up strangely soaked from a night of dreaming about—I don’t know, Ashley Tisdale. The real question is, why are so many Fat Admirers in denial? I can’t tell you how many guys (or gals) there are like me, and a good portion of them being in the closet makes the numbers even fuzzier. Over half the US population is considered—DUN-DUN-DUN—“overweight.” Someone’s fucking all the fatties.a Be a sport and let them know.

Once upon a time, if a young man wanted to see a fat girl naked, he actually had to woo her. Playboy and Penthouse didn’t publish stretch-mark-mapped centerfolds. BBW nude-model paysites like PlumpPrincess.com and BigCuties.com did not exist. Dan Weiss didn’t have that problem. “An early memory was having Entertainment Weekly, cutting out pictures of Anna Nicole Smith in the Guess ads, and just studying her boobs,” he says. But unlike his fat-appreciating forebears, he had the Internet. “I was looking for bigger and bigger boobs online, and when you looked at bigger and bigger boobs, you wound up finding bigger girls. And I was like, Oh, wait. I like all of this.”

Kevin N., a marine biology doctoral candidate at the University of Maine, Orono, figured it out on the school bus in high school. “This girl sat next to me, and she was about three hundred pounds—she was gorgeous, she was blond,” he tells me over the phone. “That day, everyone had to sit three to a seat. I was up against the window, she had to push up against me, and the other kid was sitting with one ass cheek hanging off the seat. I’m just sitting there with my backpack on my lap, like, Hunhhhh.” That was the first public erection he ever had. “You realize, I think I like this.”

Immediately, that made Kevin different. “In high school, you have your prototypical locker-room discussion, ‘Hey, did you see so-and-so?’” he says. “You can’t come out and say, ‘Oh, no, not really,’ because then you’ll get, ‘What are you, some sort of fag?’”

That’s what everyone assumed about the Red Sox fan anyway. A basketball player with type 1 diabetes, Kevin was five foot ten and 131 pounds at his Coventry, Rhode Island high school. Meanwhile, his “pretty” girlfriend was an all-state softball player—size 16, five feet nine inches tall, maybe 200 pounds—but she could bench more than her scrawny boyfriend. A rumor spread that he was gay, which he didn’t bother to refute. Liking a fat girl was so much more preposterous that he worried the truth would “make it snowball even more.” Kevin recently became engaged to a 25-year-old Ohio woman he met five years ago in a BBW chat room.

Fat Admirers (FA) have historically adopted queer nomenclature for their self-discovery stages and preferences. Men who openly pursue, prefer, and date fat women are “out.
