>>> *MAJOR* point of clarification here. "natural" women doesn't necessarily include the adjective "BIG" women.
Ya had me laffin', Lisa!
Indeed! "Natural" to me means just that: natural. Iow, I guess I'm not the average man cause I don't care ONE BIT for fake boobs, fake hair, fake nails... whatever. I like natural. And a limited amount of make-up and jewelry, while you're at it.
As to big vs. thick...
I don't personally care for women who are clearly over-weight. COMF has more than a right to like women with rolls and rolls of jelly, but I'm personally not into that.
Thick, imo, just ain't the same thing. Think Janet Jackson (or Serena). Don't get me wrong. I'm not a big fan of either, but I could definitely work with that body type. They be thick, not big. That's what I'm talking about.
Otoh, think Aretha Franklin. She be big and, well... fat. Not my style.
Queen Latifah, otoh, is big (and natural) but also FIT, which for me is a crucial difference over Aretha. (Regardless of the body type, fitness is *a must*.) I could work with a Queen Latifah, sho nuff. She's damn pretty, besides, and down-to-earth, too. I see / interact with a woman almost everyday who reminds me of Latifah and she ... well... like I said... I could definitely work with big. I hafta watch myself around her! Woof, woof!!
Of course, Halle would be the ideal. Just a lovely, lovely girl, wouldn't you say? So's Garcelle Beauvais (Jamie Foxx Show). And I wouldn't kick Vivica Fox out of bed for eating potato chips, either, even though she's moving toward thick. But, like I said, thick is... well... I could definitely work with some thick.
You know who I'm feenin' for right about now? Kellita Smith (Bernie Mac Show). Yep, I could definitely work wit dat! (I know. I'm a dog.) Where was I.....
Oh yeah...
The point is, I don't care (AT ALL) for the media's constant offering of the supposedly feminine "ideal." You know: thin; no booty; fake, over-sized boobs. Can't work with that at all. I like my womenz au naturel, and preferably with some meat on 'em.
I know...
