Big/heavy-set women do hit on guys in some cases. I know, because I'm a thin guy who is into BBW's/SSBBW's, and have been hit on by them over the years.

That being said, typically thinner women hit on me.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I'm bitter about it. I have been hit on before and the women were pushy and don't know how to take no for an answer. Now it's just a preference of mine that I approach first.

It's not a nice term, but it's about what you can expect to attract. You were the one who sarcastically quipped about shy guys expecting an attractive girl. I'm saying they shouldn't because their market value is a lot lower than an attractive girl so they have to adjust expectations. The point I made was they can adjust standards all they want but their shyness will stop them approaching if it's severe.

You often hear the term on here "lower your standards" that's essentially what market value is about.

Is that some sort of acronym developed by one of those 'we hate wimmins but want so badly to get with them' men's club for social outcasts on the Internet? I can't even keep track of which is which.

And you also mentioned about "women" (as if they're of one mind) not finding 80% of men attractive. Among other random BS that is spouted by generally bitter men on the Internet.

Unless, of course, you have anything concrete to base your claim that women who are obese are hit on and have options. You used the term "on average", so I'm sure there's some basis for this claim.

I'd really like to see if there's anything, at all, to back up these claims. Until then, I'll file the term "SMV" in the appropriate location.

An unattractive shy guy's natural mate is a way below average girl in terms of natural selection.
This is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen. Shyness doesn't dictate the physical appearance/attractiveness of person's mate, it simply affects the number of mates this person will likely have throughout a lifetime.

Also, shyness and social anxiety are two completely different things. Shyness usually wears off once a person feels comfortable in a given situation. Social Anxiety is a disorder that causes a person to fear social situations and usually requires medication to help cope.

It does if they haven't got confidence, which being shy indicates they lack. Confidence is one of the essential things men need when it comes to women. Confidence to approach, assert initiate and lead and also self-confidence.

This is technically true, but the two are often linked and essentially the same thing. There's a difference between introversion and being reserved than being shy. Shy indicates social anxiety. Social anxiety, like shyness, can wear off once a person is comfortable in their surroundings.

Didn't you say that a woman made smalltalk at a grocery store and you immediately assumed that was an "approach"? Maybe it's you who is awful at ascertaining the difference between romantic interest and normal social pleasantries?

Yup I did. People will give me crap about it but I can care less. I stick with my opinions no matter how not PC they are. Now I can add you to my ignore list as well.
