From what I know of the history of the word "schmoe", it was originally used by the late Kay Baxter and Pillow. Back when they at their height. That was when I first saw the word used. And it did seem, at the time, to make light of the men who were attracted to FBBs and muscular women. I never liked the word and would never refer to myself as such.  Angry

I'd only ever heard it used to refer to an ordinary (and probably clueless) person.  Like the Joe Schmoe show: a reality show where all of the contestents were actors hired to play roles, except for a single guy who was kept out of the loop (and the whole purpose of the show was to try and maintain the illusion that it was an "authentic" reality show).  That one guy was the titular "Joe Schmoe" (and the show was generally pretty entertaining).

That's odd. Interesting discussion on "Schmoe". But from various places I always saw "schmoo".

Anyways sthenolagnia is the paraphilia we all have down here. So I suppose we're sthenolag...nics?

The Schmoo or more properly, Shmoo, is/was a character from Al Cap's Li'l Abner comic strip.

Given it's over-fawning nature, I think we can assume that this, combined with the Yiddish word schmo and its related meaning, is how some (i.e. Kay Baxter and Pillow) early-on came to tag FBBr fans as schmos.

Hehe. The only problem with that term is that it's non-gender specific. So you would have to say I'm a heterosexual sthenolagniac, which is quite a mouthful I must say!

Possibly sthenolagniacs.

Luv has it right. Baxter and Pillow used it to refer to the fans who used to kind of follow them around. Tina Lockwood useed it too. It is in some wrasslin vids too. Doughdee used it. It was my interpretation that it meant a creepy guy who kind of was quiet and followed them around.

I've spoken to some name fbbs and they do in some cases find some fans to be a tad creepy and to fit this stereotype. I don't reallyfit it look wise and a couple of big name girls even asked me why I liked it and were surprised I did.

There must be a few guys out there who really get a tad crazy with it. I look at it like a fetish in my case.

Schmoe came from Kay or Pillow. I think Kay is credited with it. The fbb scene and all that was new back then. I'm sure Bill Wick knows the history.He was married to kay. Well...actually.... suire may be a bit strong Grin

Yeah you would never call a 250lb male bodybuilder who is married to an fbb a schmoe.
