I don't know why everyone thinks he's not up to her standards? You're only saying that because he's heavy. Not everyone likes six packs or guys that are super thin. Heavy guys are cuddly, strong, happy and usually self confident.

Really excellent collection. I appreciate how Bored Panda keeps things fairly "clean" (meaning not too vulgar) as opposed to infuriating, misogynistic websites like The Chive (which I refuse to view at all because it's so offensive). Keep up the good work!
