If you’re a Big Beautiful Woman (BBW) or searching for one on the Internet, here are some tips for writing BBW Personals that get results.

First, let’s define our terms so we’ll understand the concepts in our BBW Personals. BBW refers to a Big Beautiful Woman or women who, by American standards, are overweight. There was a time in history when such women were sought after by well-known painters, as you can see in the illustration below (Rubens’ “Venus at the Mirror”).

The terms “Big Beautiful Woman” and “BBW” originated in BBW Magazine, a publication launched by Carole Shaw that contains fashion and lifestyle articles for the BBW niche market readership.

BBW has some synonyms too, including “Full-figured,” “Rubenesque” (which refers to the paintings of Peter Paul Rubens who became famous for painting full-bodied women), “Voluptuous,” and “Zaftig” – a term which often implies having large breasts and extra wide hips.

The term BBW (as used in BBW Personals) has become popular in the years since BBW magazine’s inception, and nowadays many women refer to themselves as “BBW.” The BBW concept has gained so much momentum that there are now dozens of internet dating sites with BBW Personals which cater to the BBW marketplace – consisting of BBW women and those who admire them.

There was a time before BBW became popular when terms like “Rubenesque” and “Full-Figured” were used instead, but nowadays, for anyone wanting to date full-figured women, the easiest and most efficient way to find them is to design well-written BBW Personals which, in my personal experience, will drawn them out of the woodwork rather quickly.

If you’re a BBW yourself, designing BBW Personals with “BBW” in your headlines will automatically connect you with a number of potential admirers. Let’s take a look at one rather good example, which was written by a 28-year-old woman from Chicago. The ad is full of typos, misspellings and grammatical errors, but her “attitude” and feeling of confidence come through loud and clear. The result is a lively, high-spirited ad that really gets your attention. (If it were me writing the ad, I’d finesse it a bit. But for a sassy 28-year-old, it works just fine!)

Sexy BBW looking for the real deal. – 28 years old

Isn’t it terribly unrealistic to try to find love on Craigslist? I actually know many people who do it. I have found a few potentials, but “no dice” as of yet. I don’t wanna go all Sex in the City on your ass (I detest Sex in the City), but I am ready. Ready to find someone to partner up with. There are so many people that I could partner up with just for the sake of having a partner, but I have severe ADD (self diagnosed), and alas cannot settle. I am looking for someone to fall for and for someone to fall for me. I am very attractive, BBW, funny, smart, passionate, interesting, great social skills, an awesome listener, 420 and party friendly, very sexual, but not inappropriate about it, love to laugh, blunt, non-clingy, independent, inquisitive, music junky, love ATHF and Adult Swim in general, love reality TV, media junky, love pop culture and current events and am totally uninterested in games. I am a total package. I am looking for a total package as well. You – must be cute, have stellar social skills, be friggin hilarious, be honest, put me in my place when I need it, be a good friend, explore Chicago with me, love to party and love people, be anti-drama, love your friends and family, be ready for a relationship and not be a douche in general. Please be a fan of BBW as well. I have no problem getting dates or attention, I am a very attractive woman. Please have something interesting to say, because if you don’t, you will not keep my attention. Also know the difference between being cocky and having confidence. Nothing sexier than a funny, confident man. I am typically attracted to guys that have bigger builds. The taller and bigger the better. Let’s talk…who knows what Craigslist can produce for us… Not looking for a one night stand. Looking to take it slow and have a natural progression. Not trying to force anything.

If you’re an admirer of Big Beautiful Women, the secret to finding a BBW is to come right out and ask for one in your BBW Personals. Use the term BBW in your BBW Personals headlines. Talk about your interest in meeting a BBW, but don’t make BBW the sole focus of your BBW Personals. After all, Big Beautiful Women, like all women, have more going on for them than just their bodies – whether they’re big, small, or otherwise!
