There's really no "benchmark" on what constitutes a "full figured woman" (FFW) or "big beautiful woman" (BBW). Women vary in size, shape, proportion, etc... I tried to cover much of that in my new additions to the "Shape" section of the Wikipedia article
Female body shape:

I had previously had this post and poll trying to differentiate them better:

Now some of the sets posted here are clearly
not what I'd all a BBW, let alone they are not "plumpers." They are wider hourglasses but are more slender FFW. Although
Kerry Marie is now around a size 20+ with a bit of stomach protrusion and can now be considered a BBW/plumper, one of the sets I saw posted here was nothing of the sort -- she was size 12-14, just because of her width, while still being very slender.
Women who are petite and only a size 12 can be "fat" while someone like Kerry Marie would be approaching anorexia at a size 10. Other men try to say it's any "bulging" or "folds" of "fat" out the sides -- especially around her stomach -- or "stretch marks" of a woman that makes her fat, especially from the back. But even many slender, slightly wider, hourglass frames like
Kira Kener have some "skin folds" when viewed from the back. And some women have such wide breasts, even on a wide chest, that their breasts basically start "from the back" and "buldge around." Even my favorite model,
Yoko Matsugane, at her thinnest (and seriously deflated bust) has that issue (let alone when she's got her massive F-cups when not deflated, but still slender in the stomach).
To me, as well as a health index, stomach protrusion is really the "key indicator" if someone is fat or plump. In fact, I've seen many women with a "good buldge" out the front (who weren't pregnant) that didn't have it on their sides at all. In fact, that's a very poor frame from a health standpoint -- whereas a slender, but extremely wide, hourglass woman with a "downfold" from her chest and "upfold" from her hips is far better. Because, in reality as well as for health, I could hardly give a shit because that's not what drives me to my type of women -- and people can debate "fat" or "thin" until they are sick.
I'm
very picky, and I have always been. I do
not go for straight or pear (what I call "bell") shaped women. That pretty much eliminates 2/3rds of women on the planet from what I like. A lot of BBW are pear-shaped, and they tend to "fold less" at the chest because their chest and breasts are not as wide. So I'm mega-picky there too. Not good for me, a guy that isn't a "great catch" for a woman -- but that's I love the emotion and warmth of women, because my "notthing great" looks were easily overcome.
You give me a hourglass (even if she has apple-tendencies) and I don't give a shit about her weight. Why? Because her weight is going to be well-distributed. I don't care if she's size 6-8
Yurizan Beltran or size 24+
Samantha Anderson, she's going to have that inward-outward curve not just from the stomach to the hips but the stomach up to the chest. And hourglass women tend to have very wide breasts (even if not hanging), often "sticking out" the sides and "wrapping from the back" -- whether she's 10lbs. over that falsehood BMI "ideal" or 100lbs. So not only do I get to run my hands up and down her sides, but when I run them up from her stomach to her chest, I "catch" and "cup" a nice pair of breasts half-way up.
Before I was married, I used to go out and notice the best hourglass in the group -- absolute first without reservation or even a gaze towards any other woman. She was
rarely the favorite of the other guys with me, let alone rarely considered the "best looking" of the women themselves. Hell, she was often patronized or, worse yet, told she had "good features" and men should "look past her flaws" -- along with the never ending "cute" (which often means "not sexy"). WTF? She was fucking off-the-charts hot in my book! So not only did I not have "much competition," but the woman instantly realized I liked her and wasn't even interested in anyone else.
After a few hours with me, she was completely in love with herself -- possibly for the first time. When you have a woman who feels good about herself, damn if it ain't the best! I don't know how many times I've heard many, "less appreciated" women talk about how if they had "a body" they'd flaunt it, do nude photography, etc... So when you finally get a woman like that feeling she has "a body," damn if she isn't ready to share it! I spent a good 5 years practicing outercourse, especially mammary (typically the standard bonus of a wider hourglass, wider and larger breasts), with so many underappreciated beautiies -- so much so that I really need to document all the techniques I used (and still use with my wife today) on Wikipedia. When you show such a beauty a "good time" in public as much as private, and you don't shy one bit from telling the world about how beautiful her figure is, she's going to call you up again and again.
My wife was, by far, the most aggressive. After a few days of my running my hands up and down her hourglass side in public, she literally threw me to the bed and got on top of me the next time I started doing it in private, whispering in her ear how much I wanted her perfect body. My wife has a body much like
Devyn Devine, a hourglass with apple tendency (larger chest, slightly flatter rear -- although the thighs and legs are still killer), and the sexual appetite and prowess that matches hers on film. The longer I'm married to her, the more she knows I want her and only her, and the better it gets.
Of course, now that I'm married and practicing intercourse, I don't really know how I resisted intercourse (only doing outercourse) it before I was married. In high school I got dumped because of that (although far more women appreciated it in college). There's nothing like having a hourglass figure on your rod. Especially when you run your hands up and down those sides -- and often catch and cup a nice breast when you are one with her doggie, her atop or reverse cowgirl. But even for outercourse, it's always been more than just "fuck her tits" for me -- much more!
In fact, my favorite thing to do is still to have face sat on by a hourglass babe -- because I still run my hands up and down those sides while I service her.
