* Various users on Deviantart, Youtube, Myspace, and other art sites post images/videos of plump women/men gaining weight and embracing their size.
* Arin and Danny of WebVideo/GameGrumps have mentioned in their reviews that they prefer women with curves over the stylized female designs they often see in games.

* Germaine of ''WebAnimation/NeuroticallyYours'' is technically bisexual, but is only into other women if they're really fat. She hasn't specified any particular type of men she's into, so presumably she's a lot less picky there.

This is TruthInTelevision. Many ancient and modern cultures prefer hefty, moderately overweight women to skinny ones.[[note]] The likely reason was an overweight wife/mistress/harem girl or husband being a status symbol for the wealthy. You were considered very well off if you could afford to provide enough for your wife/husband to gain weight. Plus there's plenty of fertility idols, called [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurine Venus figurines]], always of large women.[[/note]] (Two examples from Western countries: the 17th-century Flemish painter Creator/PeterPaulRubens is so famous for his depictions of plump, plushly upholstered women that his name has been borrowed to describe that style of feminine beauty. Also, in TheGayNineties, the actress Lillian Russell weighed 200 pounds in her prime, and was considered one of the most beautiful and desirable women in America.) The pop-culture obsession with thin women is actually relatively new.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' ''2023'', Chase tries to get back together with the [[BigBeautifulWoman pudgy Emma]] [[spoiler:and succeeds near the end of Part 1... before she dumps him again in Part 2]]. Downplayed though in that it's never mentioned in-universe whether he's attracted to her because of her looks or not.

* In the one shot [[{{Hentai}} h-manga]], ''Every Woman is Venus'', a budding artist bribes the girl he has a crush on with food so she'll gain some weight while he he sketches her in the nude. When she asks why he chose her instead of a more fit girl, he says that he believes all women are beautiful in their own way, and when he overheard some guys talking about how good being with a fat girl is, he started talking to her and instantly attracted to her. After a romp in the art studio, she makes him promise not to show the sketch to anyone else, and he says that the piece is for how own personal collection, and no one else will see it. Unfortunately, the sketch is sent, without him knowing, to a nearby art museum as part of a showcase for local artists, and despite him swearing that he has no idea who entered the work in his name, she stills yells at him in public.

* ''Anime/OjisanAndMarshmallow'' is about a young woman who is attracted to an older coworker that's overweight and addicted to eating a particular brand of marshmallows.

* In Season 1 of ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'', Karamatsu is less than pleased when the flower he douses with booze becomes a big, bossy {{gonk}} fairy [[AbhorrentAdmirer who tries to marry him]] instead of a cute, lithe girl like it happened with Chibita. Her fate is uncertain after she becomes a literal giant carnivorous flower monster... until season 2, that is, when we learn that she has returned to her human form and has found a much more willing lover... [[{{fauxreigner}} Iyami.]] We find that out when Osomatsu, Choromatsu, and Jyushimatsu pay Iyami an impromptu visit and [[FanDisservice accidentally interrupt a lovemaking session between the two.]]

* ''ComicStrip/RoseIsRose'': Jimbo prefers Rose if she were fat, so much that he often looks through wide reflections of her to fantasize about it.

* ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'': Moto Moto lusts after large woman, and even has an entire song where he states "I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he's a hippopotamus. This is {{deconstructed|trope}} as the film goes on, as Gloria does not appreciate Moto Moto only liking her for her features and not her as a person, especially after Melman interrupts their date and rants to Moto Moto about how ''he'' would treat her if he were in his place.

* Creator/AndyGarcia's lead in ''Film/CityIsland'' has plenty of family issues: in his teen son's case, it's keeping the secret of his love of very fat women, including asking a fat girl at school to skip class with him so that he can feed her donuts, and a foray in the dark corners of the internet which leads him to stumble on feedee webcam subscription pornsite belonging to "Botero" -- which is actually his super-sized neighbor's screen name. (When she discovers this, "Botero" does not kindle any romance with the boy, but rather [[PlayingCyrano plays Cyrano]] between him and the fat girl at school, even chaperoning the two on a date, as the classmate tries to gorge like her, while he watches.) This subplot culminates with him on a couch, squished against the two objects of his affection while they munch on cheese puffs and watch TV, as his newfound confidence and self-acceptance lets him tell his family about his "secret", especially since everybody else has much more serious secrets that they've been keeping, and he ends the film by bringing his fat, feedee girlfriend and their even fatter pornstar mentor/chaperone with him to a family barbecue that has had to make special provision for how much food the women will eat.

* The title character in ''Film/ShallowHal'' becomes interested in larger woman through hypnosis. Once the love goggles have been lifted, Hal realizes the object of his affection is still beautiful. Also, twice his size. Many people at the company he works at think he's just dating her to kiss up to her father, who's the boss of the company, unaware there ''is'' genuine attraction in their relationship.

* In the works of Creator/AgathaChristie, Literature/HerculePoirot is usually a CelibateEccentricGenius with barely any interest in women, except from an objective standpoint. All of that goes out the window, though, when he encounters Countess Vera Rossakoff, a Russian noble who is described as being as fat and vivacious as he is small and methodical. Canonically, she is the only woman who he ever even bothers to pursue. It's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the omniscient narrator, who remarks "It is the misfortune of small, precise men to hanker after large, flamboyant women."

* ''Series/{{Bones}}'': In "The Foot In The Foreclosure", the VictimOfTheWeek was a former chubby girl who had been a regular at a Chubby Chaser hookup night-club. After she lost the weight, she went back as a chaser. Bones & Booth take Booth's grandfather when they go to ask around at the club. When Booth asks Bones for a polite way of saying "fat", his grandfather tells him that there's nothing wrong with liking fat women, and that his wife (Booth's grandmother) had "a little jam in her jelly". As soon as he gets to the club, he starts eyeing up the women on the dance floor. When Bones and Booth are ready to go, they realise that he's already on the dance floor grinding between the women he was eying up before, so they stick around for a while.

* ''{{Series/CSI}}'': In "Big Middle", a male victim turns out to have had a fetish for large women, although the death ultimately proves to be accidental, as a fat women he was having sex with passed out on top of him, suffocating him. There is certainly an element of {{Asshole Victim}}, however, as he was a womanizer who preyed on the insecurities of large women before dumping them.

* ''Series/ToddAndTheBookOfPureEvil'': In "Monster Fat", [[AlmightyJanitor Jimmy the Janitor]] mentions having slept with hot chicks, skinny chicks and even chicks with dicks. But the best sex of all is with fat chicks. Notably, the episode where he imparts this insight to the main character feature a MonsterOfTheWeek turning all the female students obese. In fact, one of the plot points of the episode is using a water pistol full of the instant obesity liquid to threaten the girl who accidentally made the fat monster. At the end of the episode, we see the Janitor on a date with an extremely attractive woman. When she leaves to visit the bathroom, he immediately produces another water pistol and squeezes it into her drink.

** There's also some references to it in ''Relapse'' - in "We Made You", Slim gets Music/JessicaSimpson[[note]]the voice is actually the singer Charmaine Tripp[[/note]] to sing the chorus, referencing a RippedFromTheHeadlines story about her putting on weight. In the music video, she's played by the plus-size model Trisha Paytas, and Slim lusts after her (as her then boyfriend Tony Romo), grinding against her, playing with her chubby belly and feeding her.

* Wrestling/JerryLawler was very vocal in his preference to the rotund Bertha Fayfe over the "hockey player" [[Wrestling/{{Madusa}} Alundra Blayze]]. Lawler's tastes would subvert this later on when the WWF began focusing more on looks when it came to the women, as he unmercifully ridiculed Wrestling/MollyHolly during her HollywoodPudgy angle in 2002.
* Wrestling/RingOfHonor's Jay Briscoe has limited tolerance for fat men but really like him some fat women, if they have fat asses anyway. In fact, he'll lose interest if a woman's weight loss detracts from that area.

* One sidequest in ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'' is, basically, a hunt for a Chubby Chaser. Akiyama's chubby-yet-cute secretary has suddenly gotten all depressed and claims that no man would be interested in her (not that she's really outright fat - by American standards, anyway), prompting Akiyama to try and prove her wrong by tracking down a man who likes 'em chubby. After some false starts, he finds one - working as a 'recruiter' for a Hostess Club, though not for long since his boss is fed up with him always bringing back the BBW's instead of the lithe beauties that such clubs generally deal in. [[spoiler:In the end, even though you convince this fellow to come back to your office, and introduce him to Hana-chan, it fails to noticeably improve her mood... since the reason for her depression is that she's in love with Akiyama, who—aside from being a hopeless playboy—has a decided preference for the traditional, slim body type.]]

* The local baker, Jeff from ''VideoGame/{{Harvest Moon 64}}'' states in his first Heart Event with Elli that he thinks women should be a little plump. He is also the love interest to Elli, who is apparently on the bigger side (but [[InformedAttribute the portraits don't suggest that]]), and will marry her if you don't.

--> '''Man''': Listen, I always say there are two kinds of guys out there. Guys into fat chicks, and liars.

* Various users on Deviantart, Youtube, Myspace and other art sites post images/videos of plump women/men gaining weight and embracing their size.

* Humanity in the ''Website/SCPFoundation'''s [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3520/ SCP-3520]] is implied to become this, in a way that is PlayedForHorror by focusing on the flipside of fat admiration: the destruction of Earth's environment to make way for industrial farms to make more snack food.

** [[BigEater When Lois]] [[TemporaryBulkChange slowly becomes fatter]] in "Sibling Rivalry", Peter becomes totally repulsed by her... at least until they have "fat sex" and it turns out to be the best sex Peter has ever had, at which point his opinion does a complete 180 and he starts trying to fatten Lois up even more. [[StatusQuoIsGod After she is forced to get liposuction to remove the excess weight]], Peter is discovered trying to have sex with the bag of discarded fat.
--->'''Peter:''' Um...[[NotWhatItLooksLike this is]] ''[[NotWhatItLooksLike exactly]]'' [[NotWhatItLooksLike what it looks like]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Marge herself is practically a Chubby Chaser since after all her husband Homer is a 239-pound donut-eating machine. Marge has in at least one episode called Homer her "chubby hubby". Despite being concerned over his health, Marge will make him pork chops nonetheless to keep him happy. This is actually discussed in the season 7 episode "King-sized Homer," when Homer [[ZanyScheme intentionally gains more than 60lbs so that he can go on disability and work from home]]. Marge confronts him to debate the pros and cons of his scheme and admits that she is finding herself less attracted to Homer physically when he weighs over 300lbs.

* '''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart:''' Kenta Kanzaki proudly prefers women with a "little" meat on them. And by a little, he means ''the more the better''. He openly states this in front of his mutual crush Hara, a NiceGirl on the chubby side, when she confesses to wanting to go on a diet. Although she's actually flattered and they start hanging out.

* In the manga version of ''Manga/AirGear'', this trope is used to first invoke and then deconstruct the UglyGuyHotWife trope; the fat and ugly Onigiri scores a beautiful girlfriend who is attracted to him because she's a ChubbyChaser. But then, when she sees that Buccha is even fatter than Onigiri, she dumps him for Buccha. Then she dumps ''Buccha'' for a third guy who's even ''fatter''. The "[[HardTruthAesop moral]]" here? If a relationship is based purely on one party appealing to the other's fetish, then that first party is in trouble if a third party who hits the second party's kink button even better comes along.

* ''Wiki/{{Uncyclopedia}}'' has a... less than flattering [[https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Fat_admirers description of them]].[[note]]Rather [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritically]], parody site or not, they also have a page on [[https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/HowTo:Make_a_fat_girl how to fatten up a girlfriend]].[[/note]]

* ''Manga/{{Pochamani}}'': Tagami is a self-professed "chubby maniac" who loves cuddling his plump little girlfriend Tsugumi. In particular, he's attracted to Tsugumi because she's both FatAndProud. Large girls who still obsess over their {{Weight Woe}}s do not attract his attention long.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** In one of the {{Filler}} episodes, Princess Fuku hires her IdenticalStranger Ino [[BodyDouble to pose as her]] during [[ArrangedMarriage a meeting with her fiancé]] until [[WeightWoe Fuku loses the weight]] she gained [[PostStressOvereating while binge-eating out of stress]]. It turns out, however, that her boyfriend Prince Chikara is a big guy himself... and he ''loves'' big women, [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage so he doesn't mind Fuku's chub.]]
** While not shown doing so himself, Shikamaru once criticized Ino's obsession with being thin, remarking that most men prefer women who have a little meat on them.
** ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'': Sai is implied to have a thing for larger women, as when working as a teacher of the Ninja Academy he suggests using Chocho, who's very chubby, as an art model, calling her "the most beautiful girl of the class". Ironically, his wife is very fit. Although the first time he met his wife, he told her the opposite of what he was thinking and called her "beautiful".

* When ''Literature/TheGunslinger'' meets the [[PreacherMan preaching woman]] Sylvia Pittston, who weighs over 300 pounds, he described feeling a red lust for her that causes him to shake. The Man in Black had a more severe reaction, leading to Sylvia's brief impregnation. However, the fact that this happens to ''every'' man in town implies that [[LivingAphrodisiac something supernatural]] may be involved--especially because Sylvia herself is a {{Fat B|astard}}itch and SinisterMinister who serves a ReligionOfEvil.

* ''Literature/DreamPark'': In ''The Moon Maze Game'', the standards of female beauty have reversed by the year 2085, with plumpness being the desirable trait in women. However, the ideal woman also works under a "Fit/Fat" model where her well-padded curves overlay impressive muscles and a blood chemistry maintained at the peak of physiological health.

* A one-shot character from ''Manga/AiKora'' was Gokou Ooba, a wealthy teen with a thing for fat girls who'd had a crush on Ayame's [[TemporaryBulkChange fattened-up version]] from an earlier chapter.
* In ''Manga/ManlyAppetitesMinegishiLovesOtsu'', Minegishi, [[TheAce the most handsome, kindly, beloved guy in the office,]] has it ''bad'' for [[BigBeautifulMan Otsu,]] who can't figure out why Minegishi is so fixated on him, let alone why he keeps giving him delicious homemade dishes and great snacks. Otsu doesn't see himself as attractive so he's suspicious of Minegishi's motives, but Minegishi absolutely loves Otsu's body, so much so that he collects round plush toys because they remind him of Otsu, and when Otsu considers going on a diet, Minegishi crumples to the floor in despair and begs him to not lose weight.

* In ''Manga/HisAndHerCircumstances'', a supporting character bought and fed her skinny boyfriend large amounts of food, because she really wanted him to be fat again like he was when they were kids.
* ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'': As a result of her love for round and plump things, Akari appreciates people with a "full" figure. Her first meeting with Nikaidou shows a comical, quirky attraction to him, and clear dismay is shown in her face and monologue when he attempts to limit the amount of food he eats at her place.
* Creator/TakakoShimura's ''Musume No Iede'' is literally a manga revolving around a high school girl who has a BigBeautifulMan fetish. She's fallen for her father's boyfriend, her mother's new husband, and a local boy her age all within the first few chapters.

* ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler'': Biscuit Oliva has a morbidly obese wife named Maria who used to be FormerlyFit but gained weight due to her medication. While she is enormously fat, Oliva is shown to dote on her and considers her to be beautiful. He also mentioned that he became enourmously strong so he can carry her.

There's a group of stragglers -- a group of enormous women whose acting reels are used as Bigfoot proof. As each one squeezes past, Curtis Armstrong gets more and more into it.

This is TruthInTelevision. Many ancient and modern cultures prefer hefty, moderately overweight women to skinny ones.[[note]] The likely reason was an overweight wife/mistress/harem girl or husband being a status symbol for the wealthy. You were considered very well off if you could afford to provide enough for your wife/husband to gain weight. Plus there’s plenty of fertility idols, called [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurine Venus figurines]], always of large women.[[/note]] (Two examples from Western countries: the 17th-century Flemish painter Creator/PeterPaulRubens is so famous for his depictions of plump, plushly upholstered women that his name has been borrowed to describe that style of feminine beauty. Also, in TheGayNineties, the actress Lillian Russell weighed 200 pounds in her prime, and was considered one of the most beautiful and desirable women in America.) The pop-culture obsession with thin women is actually relatively new.

* In ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', Triplicate Girl in the original continuity married the BigFun of the team Chuck Taine, AKA Bouncing Boy, and was shown to be just as crazy about him as he was about her. When she first met Superboy, she called him "a little thin for my taste", implying Chuck’' figure is the opposite of a problem to her.

* The ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fic "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40583607/ Widening Witches]]" opens with the discovery that Hermione has contracted a rare wizarding disease, Erysichton’s Touch, which gives the sufferer an insatiable hunger that requires them to gorge themselves and convert most of that into fat. Basically the day after she contracts the disease, Hermione has grown to weigh 700 pounds and she’ll never be able to lose it, but Harry finds that he enjoys the sense of comfort from embracing her new, larger form, and also enjoys it when some of Hermione’s friends from Hogwarts (Susan Bones and Daphne Greengrass) visit the Grangers and reveal that they also caught the disease.
