Yes. My taste tends towards heavier women.
Why is a bit of an odd question, since most men don't seem introspective enough to really probe why they have the desires they do. Does the average straight guy ask himself why he's attracted to women? Or more specifically, to a particular body type or hairstyle? Of course not. He just is.
But I'll take a shot. in my formative years, thicker girls showed more interest in me than thinner women did. That have been because they weren't fending off advances from as many uber-masculine guys who failed to see their appeal. That's about as close as I can get to the why I am so fucking imprinted, and so love curves on a woman.

I tend to like a woman rather than a type, so I would say "yes" but I would say "yes" to just about any other body type, too. In the end, it's very much about whether I am attracted to an individual woman. There was a time when I would have said slim and shapely was my "type" but I've since crushed hard on some BBWs and women in between. Makes it hard to define what attracts me because I'll say I am into x or y and then fall for a woman who is z, but that's the reality.
My feeling is that a woman should be soft and squishy when you squeeze them. However, apart from being extremely over- or underweight, personality generally trumps body type for me. And I often find that many 'traditionally' attractive women often coast on their good looks without developing much substance below the surface. That's a gross overgeneralization, of course, but I'd rather be with a fun, interesting bbw than a boring as hell 'pretty' girl.
Don't believe everything that you read.
