The [[Spear Counterpart]] of [[Big Beautiful Woman]]. '''Big Beautiful Man''' can overlap to some degree with [[Acrofatic]], [[Bara]], [[The Bear]], [[Big Fun]], [[The Big Guy]], [[Fat and Proud]], [[Hollywood Pudgy]] and [[Stout Strength]]. In fact, this trope overlaps with [[The Bear]] ''so often'' that some people consider them the same trope—except that technically this trope is about body fat and the other trope is about body hair.
For not-so-big pretty men, see [[Bishonen]].
{{noreallife|some men and boys in real life have body image issues, and would not take being listed here as a compliment. There's no reason to trigger their anxieties.}}
{{examples}}
== Anime and manga ==
* Though Ivan Braginski aka Russia from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]] claims'' "[[I Am Big Boned]]!", fangirls love him with some chub. So much that fanarts/doujinshi in which he's slimmed down are often met with ''very'' negative reactions.
** Cuba, the local [[Big Fun]], is starting to get this rep as well.
* Sig Curtis of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
* Gai from ''[[Getter Robo|Shin Getter Robo VS Neo Getter Robo]]''. The OAV version.
** Don't forget Gai's incarnation from ''Armaggedon''.
** Musashi Tomoe mixes it with [[Gentle Giant]] and [[Adorkable]] in the original series.
** The [[Bare-Fisted Monk]] Benkei Musashibo from [[New Getter Robo]] is a very [[Badass]] version of the trope.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[Circles]]'' has at least two of these. Marty is a chubby skunk who is at first timid about his weight, but his new roommate [[
* ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'': Dan Dreiberg. Once he stopped crimefighting, Dreiberg presumably stopped getting his usual exercise (read: thrashing bad guys) and put on some weight. Under that, though, he's still quite strong, and he has a pretty handsome face to go with it. [[Adorkable|The glasses don't make it any worse]].
** Same said for [[Blue Beetle]] Ted Kord during his chubby period (a kind of recursive tribute, since Dreiberg was based on Kord).
* Bouncing Boy from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', especially his reboot counterpart Chuck Taine.
* Cornfed from ''[[Livewires]]''.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
== Music ==
* Depending on the version, the [[Chubby Chaser]] viewpoint song "Three Hundred Pounds Of Hongry," may or may not be about one.
== Video Games ==▼
* Of the nine main characters of ''[[Morenatsu]]'', three (Tatsuki, Jūichi and Kōnosuke) fall squarely under this trope. Their [[Fan Yay]] is huge.▼
* In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, Bowser is very attracted to himself, and considers himself to be [[The Fighting Narcissist|the epitome of physique and manliness]]. But strangely, though he is very obviously chubby, he doesn't necessarily seem to ''see'' himself as chubby, at least until a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|particularly amusing scene]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.▼
** Mario is also this in the RPGs, where he's something of a [[Chick Magnet]] (To specify, ''all'' of his female party members kiss him at least once in ''The Thousand Year Door'', and along with Flurrie and Ms. Mowz's constant flirting, Vivian is genuinely in love with him).
* The title of ''[[Chub Pan]]'' highlights this trope.▼
* King K. Rool from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series has gotten a ''lot'' of attention from furry fans who like their men big, with bara fans in particular appreciating the fact that [[Stout Strength|his big gut is accompanied by muscular arms.]] Klump, the fat Kremlings in military gear have a similar appeal, particularly the one from the TV Show thanks to being a goofy, lovable [[Minion with an F In Evil]].
* Asgore from ''[[Undertale]]'' initially looks big and imposing thanks to his armor, but when he's seen outside of it, it's clear that he's rocking quite the dad bod. It does ''nothing'' to detract from his status as a lovable [[Hunk]], and Alphys has a huge crush on him both in this game as well as ''[[Deltarune]]''. The latter even has a hilariously uncomfortable scene where she gushes about how hot he is to his ''adopted child''.
== Web Comics ==
Line 54 ⟶ 63:
* Many of the guys in ''[[Blur the Lines]]'' fit this trope, which makes sense, considering half of the webcomic's reason for existing is for [[Author Appeal]], and the author prefers big men.
* ''[[Grant]]''. And Grant's [[Hot Dad]].
* Jason from [[Something
* ''The Wrong House'' has [[Nice Guy|George]] who's intially the only one of the [[Power Trio]] with a name [[Biggus Dickus|the most to offer]] the [[No Name Given|girl]] before the series was expanded and Flanderized him as a [[Kavorka Man]] and [[Ascended Extra]] that gets/has gotten/will get virtually ''every'' possible woman available including [[Nun-Too-Holy|supposed]] [[Heel Faith Turn|reformed nun that became a registered sex offender for sleeping with him before he was 18]] and [[Laser-Guided Karma|doing his Jerk Jock/Ted Baxter friend's girlfriend right in front of him as payback for him cheating on her with]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|a Tifa cosplayer.]] The apparent in-series reason why he gets so much tail: [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|he's sincere and actually gives a damn about the girls.]]

Line 70 ⟶ 71:
== Western Animation ==
* Gloria the hippo's [[
** And it would seem that hippos as a species find chubbiness attractive, since Moto Moto and Gloria's flirting is made entirely of fat jokes.
* Arguably, [[Metalocalypse|Nathan Explosion]]. At least, he's a big guy, it's not entirely muscle, and plenty of the show's [[Periphery Demographic]] find him attractive.
* [[American Dad|Stan Smith]] is on the chunky side, and also [[Rated "M" for Manly]] (or, rather, comedic [[Testosterone Poisoning]]).
* {{spoiler|Anastasia's boyfriend}} Dimitri, the baker boy from ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]] II''.
* Coop from [[Megas XLR]]. Gluttony and stupidity aside, he's surprisingly well-groomed and cuddly, and his boundless confidence certainly helps.
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Uncle Iroh]] {{spoiler|...until he discovers that [[Prisons Are Gymnasiums]] in Book Three.}}
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'''s Bolin. His girth in no way keeps him from being [[The Charmer]].
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* Despite being a [[Fat Idiot]] and a [[Fat Slob]], Dave the skunk from [[Scaredy Squirrel]] is one of these in an [[Ugly Cute]] sort of way. Just look at that enormous, cuddly, bushy tail of his.
* [[Treasure Planet]]'s Long John Silver is considered this by a good portion of the fandom, especially when being [[Ho Yay|paired with Jim]].
* In ''[[My Little Pony:
