So the widely accepted and politically correct term for a big girl is a BBW, and for a big guy is a BHM... right, got it.

That's where it ends for us guys, but the girls on the other hand are subject to the infamous "SS," distinguishing the big girls from the big big girls. While there's subjectivity to it (no distinct point at which a woman is supersized or not), there are obvious differences between a BBW and an SSBBW, no doubt... mostly in the realms of physical apprearance, lifestyle, and limitations.

My question is... what about the big big guys? Are there not inherent differences (physical appearance, lifestyle, limitations, etc.) between big guys and big big guys? Why have we not seen the term SSBHM pop up yet in our community?

I feel like it's yet another product of the double standard in our society... but I could be wrong, which is why I'm putting this out there... I'm simply curious. Why is it that we further objectify and classify women, while men are just lumped together? It's puzzling, but interesting to think about.

Talk amongst yourselves. I may join in here and there, though ;)
