“He’s very fat, and I’m also fat. I can never like him. We fat women, we don’t like fat men, we like slim men. I am not just fat, I am shapely – Coca Cola – with big baw-taws; and, in Africa, men always worry women like me.”
Say what? Fat women prefer slim men? And men always badger women with big baw-taws? Hmm. It’s a serious allegation of sexual harassment by a woman against her former boss. And she said something like what’s above on radio. I shouldn’t trifle with it.
But, seriously, are there any truths in her statement about fat-women-and-slim-men? And do men hound and harry women-with-big-baw-taws any more than slender women or women with small ‘tings’? I want full-bodied comments with big baw-taws, I beg.
Well - ok! h
ReplyDeleteHahaha...maybe big 'baw-taws' is directly proportional to child-bearing hips; which hips, according to evolution experts, men look out for in women!
ReplyDeletehmm men like what ever. i dnt believe there is a preference. Anything in lipstick and earrings will do. They are turned on by the earrings and lipstick. This is a man's world but without a "thing" in earrings and lipstick it will be nothing( note: the thing necessarily need not be human)
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note i think some men like to have slender women with all the hips and "baw-taws" lol. Such men also ensure that their women to remain in good shape.
Women like.... its all down to personal choice again. some go for men with a "6-pack", others go for tall men, but it all depends on what u want the man for lol. if you want him to mow ur lawn for u, then maybe u'll go for a strong one lol and after the lawn mowing is finished u go for a slim one lol.
I guess in the end its all about personal choice really and what rocks ur boat:)
I think this honestly depends on who and where and what kind of group of men you are talking about. Certain groups of men certainly prefer big baw-taw women for sure, while you have others that prefer the slimmer type. It seems to me that generally though, most men prefer women with shape (as kwegyirba said according to evolution experts) but real men, in my opinion, isn't going to let that come in the way if they meet the right woman. A digression; This makes me think of a documentary I watched yesterday from Uganda where it's tradition for women to be put in 'fattening huts' 3 months prior to marriage. They have this tradition also among the calabar in Nigeria... basically a woman will sit still and just eat/drink fat milk and take in at least 5000 calories per day. The men in that tribe in Uganda actually said "I want my woman big like a cow".
ReplyDeletehehe...i am not the smallest of women and my hubby is S-L-I-M! :D but im not african ... :D
ReplyDeleteBig baw-taws?...humm...
I'm laughing so hard, I can't even touch this right now. OMG!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help laughing when I heard the woman. I thought I could never get a woman because I'm slim and well-built lol. May be some slim tin lol
ReplyDeleteha! this one is so easy, African men love big baw-taws, PERIOD! It is one phenomenon I can't begin to wrap my brains around! They would prefer the big baw-taws didn't come with a big a$$ woman - ie huge woman. But depending on the fineness of the baw-taws... they're usually forgiving of any extra rolls here and there.
ReplyDeleteAs for the female preference... to each his own. I see why the walking-heart-attack isn't really attractive - not just to fat women, the slim ones too... no, we don't want the fat men who can't tie their own shoe laces!
What are baw taws? Up or down? Still laughing as I can just imagine the woman speaking. Men like anything in skirt, or lipstick and earring as the other guy said...:)
ReplyDeleteAs a point of clarity, men might sleep with anything in a skirt, lipstick, earring... inner beauty (for the real men), but what really/truly desire (and I speak on behalf of the African man) is the big bawtaws! There are few things i am certain of... this i think makes the list:-)
ReplyDelete@ Lady Jaye:
ReplyDeleteYour comment lacks big baw-taws, lol.
@ Kwegyirba:
ReplyDeleteYes about the evolution, except I have not found a automatic link between big baw-taws and big hips in Africa. Or am I wrong?
@ Fafaq:
ReplyDeleteWhat shall I say? Your comment is generally interesting, especially if you're comfortable in yourself with your stereotype at the beginning of your comment.
@ Adaeze:
ReplyDeleteBig like a cow? I will be honest here. I see some women here with big abs who just continue to eat and eat and eat loads of carbs and fat. They clearly want to be like cows to satisfy the 'market' need, no?
@ Yngvild:
ReplyDeleteYes you are all those and not African, and I suspect the big baw-taws interest is spreading like a plague all over the world.
@ Ghana Hall of Shame:
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it funny. Joy Fm has played it each morning for 4 days or so. In traffic, the men who are driving alone laugh. Women don't laugh. Men driving with their 'wives' stifle the laughter. You really ought to see it.
@ Nana Yaw:
ReplyDeleteI'd say you're neither slim nor big. You're prolly the hottest then, since the slim 'tings' and the big baw-taws would both like you.
@ Yeh:
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have described the woman all over again. Coca-Cola shape with big baw-taws.
@ Myne:
ReplyDeleteAt last Myne issues a stereotype - men like anything etc etc.
Baw-taws is my spelling for how many people pronounce (in a corrupted way) buttocks.
@ Yeh #2:
ReplyDeletePardon?
lol...some "baw taws" can be quite puzzling. It would make you wonder how any person can carry that much weight on their behind. Generally speaking, I think a lot of African men do like some backside espeically if it's on someone with a tiny waist. Exhibit A- Watch Ghanaian music videos for your answer. And I do agree with Iris on the child bearing hips. Maybe it makes for carrying the baby on the back an easier taks?
ReplyDeleteOn my part, i'm just trying to imagine such a conversation on British radio.....hmm...won't happen!! As it is I like a well proportioned woman....not fat, not too slim.
ReplyDelete*Hehehe* Nice one NY! I happened to stumble across the lady being interviewed on Adom FM last week. The woman said that her boss had described her as having "big baw-taws" rather than she believing she had them. In fact, the boss appeared so overwhelmed by the baw-taws that he asked if she put a piece of foam in her baw-taw area. When the allegation of sexual harassment came out, the boss then accused her of trying to hit on him and that was when she said she was not interested in any rotund, pot-bellied individual like him preferring a slimmer guy. I think what women prefer varies....Personally I think all women should have a preference for Idris Elba!
ReplyDelete@Abena serwaa lol. Idris Elba lol. He is just around the corner from me if you want to know lol.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, clarity! Now I'm laughing even harder! LOL...baw taws...
ReplyDelete@Nana Yaw, men like women was what my comment was meant as. I think that's an acceptable stereotype. Yeah, I know some men like men too...
@ Maxine:
ReplyDeleteI have watched Ghanaian music videos so your exhibit A is accepted.
Lol at your "puzzling baw-taws" comment. I'm rolling on the floor.
@ Kwame:
ReplyDeleteI heard a whole 30-minute play on BBC about farting. What do you say?
@ Myne:
ReplyDeleteLol. Okay, I understand you now.
what the HELL is a baw taws man
ReplyDeleteDepends how a woman carries her weight and attractiveness..same with a dude
