In the latest episode of his #ThisIsMe web series, Davey Wavey features Scott Davenport, a “chubby, sexy, gay bear from Palm Springs.”
“I’ve always been a big guy,” Scott explains. “When I was a kid, I was the fat kid. When I was in college, I was heavy.”
For a long time, Scott grappled with his body size and didn’t know whether he was even attractive. Until he discovered the bear community.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I came to Palm Springs, to a bear event, and suddenly realized that there were people who were interested in me. And it took me a while to sort of accept that.”
While he may not have perfect pecs or a rock hard six-pack, Scott says he has “great nipples” and “amazing legs,” and recently won a “Mr. Butt Contest” at a pool party, which he’s very proud of.
“We all have our own things that turn us on,” Scott says. “I don’t need the entire world to be turned on by me.”
Watch the interview below.

There’s a difference between “chubby” and morbidly obese.

Hmm…the title says he is formerly fat. I think someone is lying
Also he says he has “great nipples”. I’m not sure who told me that. His nipples are two different sizes
Then he supposedly won a “Mr. Butt Contest”, I’d hate to see who he was competing against

The title says “former-fat-kid”; in other words he is a former kid.

Good for him!! We all have to be comfortable in our own skin and confident with who we are. It takes all kinds and there is someone for all of us if we have faith.

Really, I am happy for him. It takes a lot of strength especially in the gay community to be overweight or as some have put it morbidly obese and still have a positive body image.

From tg2e pic it looks like fat kid became fat adult. Maybe hot if you are into sweaty fat skin folds.
Why are you glorifying something so unhealthy for those people??! Spare tires are only good for cars. Eat less and get more exercise. Fat is not genetic. Only the trait to create fat cells and how many is genetic. There is no excuse for being a slob.

There is a website for gay men over 35 looking for love. It is out there. http://www.meetpinoys.com is pretty cool. But I agree with another replier no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
