FRANKLIN — Attractive, beautiful, sexy and head-turning aren’t the typical compliments often given to one local woman, but her new boyfriend is challenging those perceived stereotypes pertaining to the BBW, or “Big Beached Whale.”
Thurston Ferhog doesn’t go along with the popular thinking on what makes a woman attractive, and his Boo, Sheryl Mooby, is proof-positive. “That BBWs aren’t attractive is pretty bogus,” said Ferhog. “I’ve found it’s a matter of personal taste, and Chunky is proof of that. That ass, oh my God, you just don’t know!”
Chunky, Sheryl’s pet name given to her by Ferhog, stands 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 440 pounds. Before Thurston, Chunky often found herself lacking the confidence that would lead to a relationship. “He’s just been heaven sent,” said Chunky. “He really likes me the way that I am. Just this past week, he took me to a couple of Krispy Kremes before treating me to dessert at Coldstone. I’m one happy girl. As an appreciative gift, I bought him a five pound bag of flour.”
Ferhog says the wining and dining is just part of his plans for him and Chunky.
“I want to help raise awareness in the community I live in, to help everyone appreciate the beauty of the wide ass booty, and embrace the BBWs among them,” said Thurston, adding he also intends for the couple to join their local Lumps. “Lumps is like sensory overload for me,” said Ferhog. “Everywhere I look there is fold after fold on top of more folds. I’m getting the shakes right now just thinking about it. I need a cigarette!”
Thurston says he’s known since he was a child that he was a BBW lover.
He met Chunky earlier this year after he saw her profile on SoCoSingles.com, but was hesitant at first and didn’t contact her right away. But there was just something about Chunky.
“I was drawn to her right away,” he said. “I think it was something about the way her neck fat protruded out from under her chin, or the fact that she has a triple chin. Helen of Troy doesn’t have anything on a triple chin.”
Obviously, he reached out to her.
This wasn’t Thurston’s first time dealing with BBWs. Back in college he was sought after by friends to be their wingman when they wanted to talk to a group of girls.
“Oh man he was awesome,” said one of Thurston’s college roommates. “He would always fall on the grenade and get the big girl out of the picture for the rest of his boys, so they could talk to the hotter one. It’s hard to find a good friend like that these days, but this guy was relentless about it. We tried to let him take the hotter one every now and then to be fair, but he always insisted on going after the hot girl’s left tackle. Just a selfless roommate.”
“BBWs have always been my deal,” Ferhog said. “I’ve learned so much about them. There are thousands of them out there and I can only be with a few of them. It’s very, very sad.”
“That man loves him some big women, good lawd!,” said close friend Blair Thompson. “He’s been a chubby chaser since day one, not really my thing, more power to him I guess, whatever makes you happy!”
To get Chunky to where she is now required a special diet and extremely lax exercise plan.
“I spend about 18 hours a day now eating peanut butter cups and finding dessert recipes on Pinterest,” said Chunky. “I saw this Reese’s truffle that’s about 9 layers and I won’t able to sleep until I make it.”
“She’s a beautiful woman. From Day One she had just an awesome body,” Thurston said, adding that training has continued and he commends Chunky for doing so.
To learn more about BBWs, do a Google Search, but probably don’t do it near dinner time, or too close to bed time or you’ll hurt your appetite and/or won’t be able to sleep. And you might want to leave Safe Search turned on.
For now, the couple plans to take things slow, but Thurston hasn’t ruled out a long future with Chunky. “As long as there’s more than plenty of cushion for the pushin’ ole Thurston ain’t going nowhere.”
