Fat admirer

: Fat admiration is a sub-fetish to Fat fetishism

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Fat admirers (or FAs) are people, usually male heterosexuals, who are sexually attracted to large partners. (The equivalent term among gay men is chubby chaser.) Although some use this term to refer to anyone with a standard of beauty larger than that of the mainstream, others reject the "fat" component of the phrase as unhelpfully pejorative and inaccurate. Female FAs are referred to as FFAs. In the community a large woman is often referred to as a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) and a large man as a BHM (Big Handsome Man).

Many FA's consider popular culture as being dominated by a pro-thin bias, and many FAs are involved with the fat acceptance movement.

FAs are often criticized for being attracted to partners with weights regarded by mainstream medical experts as unhealthy. FAs generally argue that such claims by medical experts are biased for various reasons, such as the influence of the diet industry.

The average FA should not be confused with the feeder, though there is some overlap.
