Chub riding a Motorbike Chub riding a Motorbike The chubby community is a subculture in the gay community. Chubbies or chubs are gay men who are overweight or obese. Although there is some overlap between the chubby community and the bear community, the chubby culture is its own distinct subculture and community. It is somewhat parallel to the fat admirer subculture which centers around Big Beautiful Women. The latter subculture is primarily heterosexual, and there is some overlap with the fat acceptance movement. There are bars, organizations and social events specifically catering to this subculture. This allows for members of the community to socialize with each other and develop social networks. In the last several years, large regional social events have developed. They often feature pageants much like beauty pagents but more sexual in attitude where titles are given to winners, like Mr. Chubby International and Mr. Chaser International. In the United States, there is an annual national event, Convergence, as well as several annual regional gatherings. There is also an annual event in Europe called European Big Men's Convergence. These events are held in different cities each year and are usually hosted by that city's local big men's organization.
