Big men can be beautiful too

Dec 19 2008 by Lorraine Howard, Irvine Herald

NEW research out shows men can’t handle having curves.

But I can tell all you male readers out there, as far as women are concerned, big can be beautiful.

Big girls are hailed as beautiful but when we talk about larger men, often the XL men are just classed as fat, not shapely and curvacious.

Don’t despair though as there’s hope on the horizon as icons like funny man Peter Kay are heralding an age when bigger blokes don’t have to hide in baggy knitwear and elasticated trousers.

It must be frustrating for them when women have some choice in clothes, if, like me, we’re 16-plus, but often the clothes for larger men are ill-fitting and shapeless.

Though, I stick by my belief that no matter what size a man is, stick him in a white shirt and a suit and he’ll look fabulous, big or small.
