do men even like large/big women?

They do. Some extremely more than you might think.

Personally, I like every kind/type of woman so long as it clicks with me and from there it is just a matter of getting to know her better. I am more in to honest, sweet and loyal personalities, and from there I am just set for life with her. I always liked bigger girls, and I mean usually, chubby or even more than that. I never had a problem and never seen it as a problem. If it is about health, I used to make exercising schedules to train together and to watch out our diet together. Basically, I am not the kind of man who would point fingers and be like "do this and that, lose weight, then we date" or whatever. I am going through the same level of pain and tiredness as the girl who is with me - IF she wants to lose weight for herself, not for me. You'll be surprised how many girls were happy with me in the past whenever I was telling them this and that I don't mind if they gain/have weight.

On another talk, right now, I am with a girl who is petite, small and tiny. I look like a giant next to her due to my already decently high height and I am afraid to touch her. lol First time in my life I am with a girl like that.

In the end of the day, I would tell you, body and appearance are the first things people notice. But what really is going to make it last is the personality, the way of thinking, the confidence and the honest feelings about what you want. Maturity, of course, plays a big role too. If there is a man like me who likes a bit more the "bigger girls" that much and pays attention to feelings, personalities, etc, then I bet you everything, there are other men like me out there for you.

I said all these to give you a solid idea and enhance my answer to you even further by telling you, that yes, they do like large/bigger women and these men truly exist. Be patient, enjoy and improve yourself on things and areas YOU want and like and the right man will appear.
