Random Thought

A random though popped into my head last week, as I was contemplating when I might next get a visit from a cousin who used to be a large lady and got herself some lap band surgery and is now much less large than she used to be.

I was thinking about her - and how hugging her is going to be way different the next time I see her (due to the much less largeness).

Anyway - the thought that popped up was:

“Man, I love hugs from fat women.”

Now, I can appreciate a hug from anyone… human beings like the physical contact usually.

But hugs from skinny people are all arms and usually kinda pokey somewhere.

And, sorry fat dudes, but men, even fat man, tend to be somewhat… ummmm… I guess “hard” is the best word I can come up with, although it’s not quite right. Maybe it’s just that in general, men carry a lot of their fat under the muscle layer. I don’t know - I just know that it’s not the same as a hug from a fat woman.

Because fat women tend to be soft, and squishy, and billowing, and all kinds of other great and wonderful adjectives that go so well with the whole hugging experience. A hug from a fat woman is an enveloping experience. There’s just something that feels so much… huggier… about it.

And this is something I am going to miss the next time I see my cousin… that hug that I used to get, that you could kind of sink into a little, and hug. It’s nice, you know?

Random.
