My vote is no body hair, on the belly or otherwise at all, whether on myself or anyone I'm with. Scalp, eyebrows, and eye lashes only.

Love love love how soft and smooth the feeling of chubby or plump along with hairless skin feels.

In my opinion, such a partial story would be a violation of rule #7.

Let's look at what it says, bold emphasis mine:

"7. Non-commercial use only

This website is for non-commercial use only unless you have prior written agreement from the website owner. Advertising of products, services, paysites and cash apps are strictly forbidden throughout the website in public and private areas, in text, images, videos and all other forms of media.

We recognize that some web models use their paysite names both professionally and socially, therefore you may use these as usernames."

I think a lot of people may not fathom the amount of effort it can take. Sometimes, it takes hours, at least due in part to how I don't want to be sloppy and check things out. I'm happy to continue engaging in the effort though, to give back to a community that has given me a lot.

Stopping the scammers who manage to register anyway, is a never ending game of whack-a-mole. And for the most part, it's volunteers who stop them.

There's no set schedule, it's whenever we have a free moment. We do have lives and obligations.

Given we have quite a large, diverse membership, it's pretty much guaranteed that not everyone will like everyone else. However, everyone is expected to get along with everyone else, at least in public. The simple fact of the matter is, there can be user disagreements that aren't covered by the rules. That's just life.

This is why blocks only prevent private messages from that person. However, one small change I may like to see is for the block to prevent comments on one's content (such as pictures) from the blocked person.

I saw one person reply to this thread about other users who are "not respecting boundaries." While it can sometimes be difficult to prove, this is unacceptable behavior under rule #3 (respect others). So please, report this behavior.

A single report is not guaranteed to result in bans, particularly since without evidence provided, it does turn into a "he said, she said" match, and because real users are typically given chances to not repeat this behavior. However, multiple repeated incidents can and do eventually result in bans of varying lengths.

One more thing... if the blocks are being used up because of scammers, please... don't do this.

Don't just block scammers and hope they go away. That just gives them more opportunities to scam others. Report them, and give as much information as you can. If you can provide a link of say, where stolen pictures came from, even better.

If we determine they are scammers, and we often do, rest assured, they will get banned. Scamming is an instant ban offense upon discovery.

However, it's not always feasible to check every single account, which means we rely a great deal on you, the users to point them out.

Can't say I've heard of anything like that, though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist somewhere.

It's technologically feasible, but I don't think the economic demand is there. Most folks don't want to publicly broadcast their current weight.

There's also how the weight can vary throughout the day, so the only way to effectively perform long run tracking is to weigh under the same circumstances every time, ideally shortly after waking up.

It's also physically impossible for a scale to ever accurately measure those other things besides weight. For all it knows, you could be carrying 20 lb barbells in each hand.

If you're really, really determined, I could imagine making your own digital scale but that would get complicated, technical, and likely expensive, fast.

Alternatively whatever Bluetooth scale with an app like that, maybe you can reverse engineer the Bluetooth signal somehow. But I don't know how time consuming this would be, or the amount of trial and error required.

I really doubt the protocol API over Bluetooth to interact with the app would be open source. For all I know, on some of them it might be encrypted, though goodness knows why, if so.

But then, even if you do that, you'd need something like a RaspPi to accept the Bluetooth signal. You would then need to write a program to take this data, and upload it to a web site you pay for.

This kind of RYO solution, I don't know if it's feasible for you. I know it would be beyond the knowledge of probably most folks.

Numbers regarding obesity rates by state and large metro area do indeed change from year to year.

However, the top 3 heaviest states in most recent years have generally been Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia.

Colorado has been consistently the skinniest - glad I don't live there.

But what might be just as important, is how cities/metro areas of substantial population might rank. This is something I found with recent data, which I find illuminating.

Yeah. I didn't actually gain much of anything in college.

My experience might have been atypical, because I never lived in a dorm room. That also meant no access to unlimited buffets, which might be more a meme that I suspect may not be grounded in reality, but perhaps more wishful thinking. Horny brain, maybe?

I lived in an apartment and bought food at the supermarket, like most folks.

It's true that a typical condition of a lease for a fast food joint on campus is that they must accept meal plans for dorm residents, which seems reasonable.

But at one local university (not my alma-mater), I learned from someone who did attend there, they do things a little differently. If someone only wants to use the meal plan, you're only limited to certain items and quantities. In fact, there was a lot of studying and engineering, if you will, in an attempt to get a much food as possible within that constraint. I don't recall the exact amounts but it would be very difficult, likely impossible to get fat that way.

I don't know how widespread that is, but I doubt that university is the only one.

And it's no secret that while the situation varies considerably, some students don't really have much money to spare.

Another phenomenon I remember noticing, at least in my area, at the time, was basically this. When the weekend arrived, you always have money for partying, even if sometimes it's not the cheapest thing.

I get it. I went to house parties like that a good bit when I was in high school and college. It's an experience unlike any other. It could get rowdy, blaring bad music and the beer was often the cheap stuff (Natural Light - "Natty" or Keystone), but there's nothing else quite like it. It's part of the quintessential college experience, and if you don't experience that, your experience isn't complete.

Even if you try to do it again with a bunch of friends in your 30s, 40s, 50s, it's just not the same. No, or at least a lot fewer crazy antics, the music isn't as loud, everyone taps out faster.

Then of course, once almost everyone in your peer group turns age 21, it's off to the bars, which of course is considerably more expensive.

But where am I going with this?

That's money you aren't spending on food.

I do recall one young woman who apparently gained from 120-125ish to around 175, which I only knew because she actually volunteered that information at one point. However, the personality clash meant there was no reason for me to try anything. I also recall she seemed like the uncommon exception, rather than the rule.
