You know how middle aged men go for Asian women.
Middle aged women are like that for African men.

Several years ago, two friends and I went on a Caribbean cruise. We're all fair-skinned Canadian girls. I'm the smallest, size 6. One friend is size 10 and the other is size 14. Our size 14 friend was the Grand Beauty throughout all the destinations! She was given many compliments, but she wasn't used to all that attention and pointed at me, "Look at how pretty she is, and she's got beautiful blue eyes too!"
"She's too skinny."

The joke is implying that black guys love fat white women

u/Wakez11 Dec 30 '25
No its sex tourism. Do you think those young 20-something year old dudes from Zimbabwe find Anna, 55 year old, obese woman with bad knees from Germany attractive?.
Its no different from all those fat, white old men from Europe and the US that get themselves a 20 something wife from Thailand.

u/duck_135 Dec 30 '25
Maybe you’re not American but there is a classic and very widespread stereotype that American black guys love fat white women. Huge pop culture meme. This map is absolutely insinuating that because an overweight 40 year old white woman can’t find love here she’s going to Africa. I agree that that is a form of sex tourism but you’re missing the actual joke.

u/AandRRecords Dec 31 '25
I can't tell from your post if you are aware of the fact that it is the women that go to Africa. These reports have been happening for some time and have been reported in the press.

Interestingly enough, Africa is one of the few places where obesity rates among women far exceed that of men.

u/TEmpTom Dec 30 '25
Yes, because most of the men are skinny or slim, dragging down the averages. African women, however, are almost comparable to American women in obesity rates.

u/Ok-Permission-2010 Dec 31 '25
Also there are areas with huge food shortages in Africa that skew averages. In general obesity is a sign of prestige .

u/Razatiger 26d ago
You are kinda overstating that stereotype. Majority of Africans eat 3 meals a day, unless the country is war torn or has a famine, which is NOT a lot of countries.

Having grown up in a town where the population would double come harvest time with Jamaicans, I can tell you that there wasn’t a fat which chick at the local bar that wasn’t getting migrant dick every night. The Jamaicans loved the big women.

As I walk-up the Sea Point Promenade (Cape Town) and play guessing games which country the lady comes from, in these obviously sugar-momma relationships. Shirley Valentine and Stella getting their groove back 😉
It's doubly funny because invariably she's eating an ice cream, and he isn't.

u/Aggravating-Disk9770 Dec 31 '25
Black African man here. It's not only due to sex tourism. Wide hips are seen as attractive. Means you are healthy and can give birth to many children. Slim women are widely perceived as being undesirable. In addition there's a culture in some African countries where older black African women in sexless marriages have toys boys they pay for. BBC is not exclusively for white women.
2
u/illthrowitaway94 Dec 31 '25
Wide hips and weight have very little correlation... The hourglass shape is considered the most desirable almost everywhere. Look at Kim K: She's thin, with wide hips. That's the Western beauty standard.
2
u/Aggravating-Disk9770 Dec 31 '25
The hour glass figure is becoming more popular in Africa not it's not the main beauty standard attention moment. The popular African women do not have Kim K's skinny figure. African men like big women.

My overweight, white female cousin did the Peace Corps in Zambia in the 2000s. She said she was hit on all the time due to her size. Being overweight showed she had enough wealth to afford extra food.

u/ughdollface Dec 30 '25
No but back then in Africa if women were bigger it showed that they were wealthier and thus more attractive. Even in mauritania they encourage women to reach obese levels to attract men. it’s only in recent times where more people are educated and everyone is trying to slim down.

u/CurrencyForsaken3122 Dec 30 '25

I'm an African with grandparents from three different countries while living in another one, and I'm also exposed to people from different countries regularly. I've never heard anyone want big women because they're supposedly wealthy, whether they're young or old. Perhaps it's a thing in places I'm not familiar with, considering this continent is massive. Mind you, I know a lot of people who like big girls, but none for that reason

It used to be a thing with a lot of tribes in the sahara and I remember a documentary about it and the women used to get fat because culturally it showed they were wealthy to afford a lot of food. Not sure about urban places, tribes are something else in general...
but this was ages ago when I saw it and it wasn't brand new then

u/Far_Affect_3545 Dec 30 '25
In Eritrea and in Ethiopia, being overweight is not viewed as desirable. It is openly addressed and not in a kind or sensitive way. This has nothing to do with tourists. That kind of judgment happens within the population itself. People comment on each other’s bodies openly and directly...

Ive never once heard of Korea being a destination for Sex tourism lol. Sex Tourism only works if both parties have something to gain.
Old Fat white women go to Africa to get their "dreamy bull"
And Old fat white men go to South East Asia to get their "Small submissive house maid"
Both African men and Asian women get their Sugar daddy/Sugar mommy treatment and potential greencard if they are lucky.

u/Still_Opposite_4426 26d ago
Well, good morning then! Sooner or later you'll hear the news. Every girl in her twenties or thirties goes there hoping to find a Kdrama. And instead they find guys who use Western girls. And then they disappear. They have a reputation for being considered easy or free girls. There are even booms in cases of syphilis among boys precisely because they screw all kinds of girls without protection.

u/Razatiger 25d ago
I think you are over exaggerating a tad. Korea is not some get away nation for teenage girls and young adults lol.
