It
is often assumed that African men like their women 'large' - not like
those skinny Western models on magazine covers - so BattaBox heads out
onto the streets of Lagos to ask men if - and why! - their African women
"big"...!
"African
women are so endowed - both the front and the back!" explains Odunayo,
our BattaBox presenter. "So we'll just be asking why they like big women
- I hope we'll get honest answers!"
"I
like slim women because I can easily twist them... but the big ones are
troublesome because they will twist you!" says one guy who tries to
toast our Odunayo (can you imagine!)
Of
course, there are plenty of other factors in determining your
girlfriend, but as any honest man will admit, appearance is the first
thing we see...
"I like the big ones!" says one guy, who says he is married. "I love something that can occupy the space!"
"I
don't like fat people - because of the smell and odour," says one guy
to the shock of BattaBox. This is real life Nigerian Comedy o!
There
are a variety of names and terms given to slim or big African women...
for example, Orobo is 'big' and Lepa is 'slim'. But our answers include
plenty of other phrases like 'robust'!
But
what is interesting, is that despite the general assumption that most
African men like their women large - seems to be false with a great
variety of opinions and tastes.
"I like the slim ones - but not too slim!"
"I'm
short now - and short people, we like big things! See that short guy
with that big African woman!" says one guy with a big smile. "We like
flesh."
