Size doesn’t matter: BBW models you want to ask out on a date

Modeling is increasingly becoming for all shapes and sizes. In years gone by, it was dominated by slim women, and for a period, a size zero was acceptable in the industry. Larger people are now kicking down doors and ruining generalizations of what people perceive a model to be.

How do people feel about dating plus-sized women?

Individual opinions will naturally vary, but steps have been taken to ensure that people of all sizes are now accepted and appreciated in a modern society; for example, online dating has been a large step in letting people speak and act on the basis of what they find attractive, not what society deems as it. This has changed people’s mindsets when it comes to dating larger people. There is still heavy pressure to look good, particularly from reality tv and the Instagram influencers that are so widespread nowadays although. The good thing is that you don’t have to be a specific size or a certain body type to be influential, inspiring, or a role model, as plus size dating has benefitted from a shift in mindset. Now, to all the dating niches, a specific cohort of plus-size lovers emerged, and with all the advantages of a modern world, they can search for women of their preferred sites with online dating solutions. Society has moved from many from not wanting to be seen with anyone ‘different’ to individuals choosing to move away from conventional dating and choosing who they want. 

The most exciting famous plus-sized women

During the pandemic, lockdown forced most of us into remote communication and spending a lot of time on the internet. The technological advancements in recent years certainly benefited those who were locked down and confined to their houses. One of these advantages was that we had the time to appreciate and learn about things that we would probably not have been interested in during our normal daily routine. This online exploration has opened doors and, in turn, opened minds about the possibilities out there for everyone. 


There are exciting, plus-sized women all over the place, especially in the celebrity world. A prime example of this would be WWE wrestler Nia Jax. Adored by millions all over the world for her powerful in-ring prowess, there is so much more to Jax than meets the eye. At 6ft and 300lbs, there is no doubt that if you get on the wrong side of her, Jax could kick your butt. On the flip side, Nia is one of the most beautiful women in the industry and regularly does photoshoots and catwalk appearances as a plus-sized model around her day job in the ring. 


The Australian-born American citizen of Samoan ancestry comes from the famous Anoa’i family and is a cousin of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Real name, Savelina Fanene, the former world champion, has stunning eyes, amazing facial features and is proud of her curves that are put in front of the world on an almost daily basis. At 37 years old, Fanene is an inspiration as an athlete, a role model as a person, and no doubt an eye-catching female in the plus-sized modeling industry.

The great sign of modern times is that plus-sized women are all over the modeling industry and continue to break down barriers and discontinue stereotypes. Here are five of the most famous and recognizable plus-sized models in the world; 


Kate Wasley: Has recently achieved international recognition after posing for Sports Illustrated magazine earlier this year. The Australian social-media star began promoting herself alongside her friend Georgia Gibbs on Instagram before they shot to fame after the promotion of body positivity and being confident in their size.


Georgia Pratt: One of the most covered models for ‘Lonely,’ the Kiwi model has promoted lingerie for the brand. It is globally appreciated for its values and use of models via untouched images no matter what size or shape they are. 


Barbie Ferreira: She also works as an actress but began her modeling journey by showcasing herself in her own pictures. 24-year-old Barbie chose to send them into the American Apparel brand and has since become a huge influence in the body-diversity market.


Robyn Lawley: Perhaps most famous for her open criticism of the ‘thigh gap’ trend. Lawley became the first plus-sized model to feature for Ralph Lauren, and the Aussie has also shot for some of the world’s most renowned fashion magazines.

It is a positive thing that the name of Ashley Graham is no longer the go-to when you think of plus-sized models. She may be the most well-known, but now there are many others making a name for themselves and rising to fame in their own right as the industry continues to evolve and be more accepting. The increase in diversity across all modeling platforms has seen many famous faces become recognized for their work in spreading awareness on this matter. It is almost as if there has been an attitude adjustment whereby you are you, and the world fits in around it instead of the other way around.
