Somebody asked me to make this Q/A rebloggable. So I did.

 ———————— 

Q: When you say you want to have sex with fat ladies it’s funny because that’s weird and gross, right?

 ————————

No, I say it because I’m 6’3” and weigh 225 lbs. so I’m generally most attracted to women that I am physically compatible with, not little tiny people of the type you usually find on the cover of a fashion magazine. Not that thin or athletic women are unattractive to me, but like (I sincerely believe) most human beings, what’s inside a person and how they behave dramatically affects how attractive they are to me, so if they’re a little “underweight” or “overweight” or “Canadian,” I will make an exception. (Listen to me; make an exception? As to what? Whether I “deem” them attractive or whether I masturbate to them, since I’m married and monogamous? Who cares what I think? I barely do.) 

Also, your leading question suggests you think that I actually find “fat ladies” gross. I certainly don’t. I do talk about liking bigger women in my standup and on Twitter and while it is true, I’ll confess that there is an element of affirmative action at play when I say those things. Only because, as I said above, I don’tnot like women who aren’t bigger than you’re allowed to be on the cover of Cosmo. (triple negative?) So while I usually just try to make people laugh, I do have, among my aims, the desire to make women who might live a little bit outside of the CRUEL parameters of the modern “beauty” industry’s size laws feel better and yes, attractive. And the only reason I want them to feel attractive is because they are attractive, but they’re lied to day in and day out by TVs, computers, magazines, billboards, store displays, and more.
