Can a big girl be a cutie, PLEASE?

May 8, 2008

Let’s face it, we live a society where curves are not the norm and any size above a 2 is considered fat. So we have broads starving themselves, puking  up last night’s snack, sucking fat out of their asses, and whatever the hell else women do to conform to Anglo-Saxon standards of beauty. I’m not saying, by any means, to be a slob and not eat right, to not work out, or don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle but what I AM SAYING is that you don’t have to be a stick figure to do it…….which leads me to my topic!

Since I can remember, I have always been the biggest girl in my crew.  Now I am not the brickhouse that I was in high school and college but I’m still a killa! lol  That isn’t something that bothers me but what does bother me is my smaller friends think that men wouldn’t be attracted to me first if at all- I am athletic, genuine, warm,  college-educated (hell my degree is in exercise science with a specialty in kinesiology), self-confident, intelligent, and pretty- if I must say so myself- I just come with more meat on my bones………. Case and point.

We all go out and yes I like to dress provocatively but not like a streetwalker. There is a difference. While most of my friends have their asses and tits out, I try to maintain some kind of class besides just because they make it in your size doesn’t mean it’s for you. We’ve all seen those big girls with poon poon shorts and cropped tube tops like, “Take me as I am!” What the hell? That is a hot mess! I don’t wanna see a skinny chick with her ass hanging out let alone your big ass! lmao I digress……… Without fail, if a guy approaches me, smiles, or gives me a compliment, they get all giddy with joy like, “You go girl! He is looking at you!! Damn, girl, he is all over you!” I used to just smile and carry on until it just KEPT happening, then I had to stop and think, “Hold up! Do these chicks think that a guy is doing me a favor by talking to me because I’m a big girl? Do they subconsciously think they are finer than moi because they are smaller?” Maybe they think they are boosting my self-esteem by making a spectacle of themselves everytime a guy says something to me? I finally said, ” Do yall really think that I have a problem attracting men? Hell, I am prettier than all of you.” Mouths fell open like I was the bitch…..It was cool when they were cheering me on with their “skinny girls boosting the fat chick’s self-esteem antics” but when I express confidence and say that I look good and that men find me attractive- I have the issue. How does that work? So basically they would be better if I was walking around with my head down and wondering why nobody wanted to dance with the pathetic lil fat chick…..Get the fuck outta here. I am that deal! I’m pretty AND sexy as hell. I rock heels, have mad swagger and damn sure ain’t about to let some skinny broad think she is flyer than me!

So I just began to observe groups of women- in all settings, especially ones with a big girl in the group, and I studied how they responded and interacted with her in regards to men. The observations were unnerving to say the least. For the most part, the skinny girls spent their time hyping up the big girl to do some outlandish, extra shit to be noticed. They pump her up to dance like a slut, or take extra drinks, or talk super loud to catch the attention of men that don’t want her……I know you’ve seen that! So the big girl puts on a show for the guys and yes she gets attention because she looks like an easy lay….What guy wouldn’t go for that? Your friends are helping you! Skinny girls do shit for attention too- they just don’t have to go the extra mile to get it……..Why are you playing yourself big girl? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? lmao Where is your pride? Why are you acting like Sideshow Bob for goodness sake?  Your skinny friends aren’t acting ridiculous and neither should you….If you have self-esteem issues- GET YOUR ASS TO A GYM AND GET SOME COUNSELING BUT DAMN IT- DON’T PLAY YOURSELF FOR ATTENTION. It’s embarassing and you need to choose another group of friends….hell, find some chicks bigger than you so that YOU can be the skinny one in your crew but get it together!
