Beats me! Samoan culture seems to value size but I'm not sure if they marry outside their 'race'.

Winston is a fairly big guy and has good game. See his photo collages for proof.

I know that Filipinas are the least likely to care about looks and weight. But that doesn't mean they are attracted to those things.

Is there any country where the women actually LIKE big guys? I'm not morbidly obese or anything, and I am tall also.
(260 lbs, 6'3")

I've read that in the past, before industrialization and plentiful food, that being overweight was considered attractive because it was an indicator that a person had ample resources and probably wealth. But in the present, even poor people are often obese. So it has negative value here.

I would guess that even countries without plentiful food supplies are still influenced by Western culture and perhaps still value thinness instead of being overweight.

But all I need is a place where big guys are desirable and not merely accepted.

Hey guy, don't fret it. Size can be an advantage. Winston often writes that Russian and perhaps Ukrainian girls strongly prefer bigger men. I think if you are big in a healthy way, it can be a big advantage with a lot of girls in other places too. Being big and tall makes you stand out and gives girls confidence that you can take care of her.

I'm in the States now and sometimes out of boredom, I switch on TV and sometimes catch a bit of "Operation Repo". The main actors are all big and I think Froy would do very well in a lot of places cus he looks good.

The best thing you can do is get in decent shape to be big in a good looking way if you're not already. And find clothes, and perhaps a facial hair style (if that fits your face) which all work well with your natural look.

I would much rather be on the big side than too short and smallish. So embrace your advantage and make the most of it.

E Irizarry is the same size as you, I remember him saying he did really well in Philippines. Here's his profile if you want to ask him about it.

What's so funny?

How big of a belly do you have? I would say Russian/Ukrainian women would be fine with you being large. Many of them even say that "a guy is OK to have a belly, I hate those skinny guys, they seem to be so light that even a gust of wind will blow them away". Yeah, believe it or not, those women say that.

So, in general, if you are not "obese" or "morbidly obese" and able to sexually function - you should be OK. Of course there are women that will not like it. Of course it is better to keep yourself a little more "in shape", but I have a belly too and that was an issue only a few times out of like 50 girls I've hooked up with or dated.

I mean, Filipinas will marry old, fat men. But they need women too, so I'm glad they have the option.

Well, E_Irizarry, how about the woman of your avatar? I'd like to meat her. I mean, meet her. It would make sense that bigger, curvier women like bigger men.

Except in America, where the fat women still want thin, tall, hot guys.

Let me get this right, fellow: probably some of those Pinays (i.e. Filipinas) called you "baboy" which is Tagalog for "[fat] pig". I heard that name a lot after I had fattened up to being in Winston-mode (i.e gaining mad weight from eating Mickey D's TWICE A DAY in the Philippines so much because MOST of the local food was god-awful).

I was f***ing up Jollibees on the daily too. I didn't think that that food was that bad when bought from the Filipino corp's, but from the hole-in-the-walls, you would get two skinny pieces of meat, dry-ass white rice, and hardly any "bruschetta" type of condiments to enhance the flavor of the food experience. Hell even Filipino sweets were cheaper and so much better in taste (although it was a recipe for Type II Diabetes disaster for most Pinoys). Remember, from the Visayas, they produce a lot of fuckin' sugar cane there.

Yes, the girl on my avatar was built almost identical to my Brazilian-Portuguese ex from Toronto. Imagine a girl like that getting smashed (i.e. f***ed) butt naked in a Canadian park with on-lookers in broad-ass daylight (and the T.O./Toronto cops were never ever summoned to stop us! Unlike the prudish, puritanical U.S. of Gay whereas that everybody confides in Uncle Sam as their big bro and I would have been on the Sex Offenders list for that type of natural shit.)

Shit, Thai food on the hand, un-f***ing-matched.

KFC in Thailand is the BEST KFC I had in my life. Those people took chicken to the next level and added some of their local enhancements to the game, too. I was eating non-corp Thai food four times a day losing a lot of weight that I had gained in the Philippines.

@Ghost,

If you want women in the Philippines to accept you more, go to Angeles City for starters.....and then go to Visayas (cannot tell you where in the Visayas. Like the way Pinays say it: "SEEE - CRET".).

Outside of Boracay and Cebu/Lapu-Lapu, there is a big-ass "off-the-beaten path" to discover. I"ll leave it at that. G-speed. lol

PS: The peso is your best friend in the Philippines as well as your mouthpiece. Utilize them to the fullest, but be frugal with the peso with a civilized rebuttal because Pinoys are irate when offended.

Ghost wrote:I never got called "baboy" before. I've never even heard that word until now. She just suggested I should lose weight. But once I mentioned my height, she never mentioned it again. But I would still hold out for a girl who actually likes my look instead of merely accepts it. Say for some reason I needed to bring her back to the U.S. She could leave me for a hot guy. And I'm poor here anyway, which is my flip-side of the looks problem. So another risk for being abandoned.

Angeles and Cebu always come up. No avoiding it, I'm going to those cities and gettin' some. And then work from there.

Cool. Do your thing, guy. Good luck. :O)

Hey, I know what you're sayin. In most countries, I don't like KFC. But in Thailand, they really know how to spice-up the chicken just right and also provide a tasty sauce alternative. Not that its good for you but it sure tastes good. In the States, my favorite chicken place by far is Popeyes. And not just any Popeyes cus they vary. You gotta find one in a black neighborhood or in a city with a lot of black people like Atlanta. Again, its not good for you but the chicken, muffins, veggies, and sauces taste so good they're addictive.

LOL true say, man. LOL But if you try to eat "traditionally non-soul-food" corporate fast food in Black neighborhoods like McD's or Wendy's, it's abhorrently awful. The fries are cold....the food had been sitting in the bin way over it's expiration time...et al.
