34 years ago today, I met a woman who I was quite fond of. I still look back fondly on the relationship, which lasted 6 months. She was thin, short, older and had short hair. None of the things I am normally attracted to. Unfortuately, it seems that she was also a lesbian, and that part made the relationship fail. But one never knows who they may be attracted to until they meet them.

I would give it a try. What do you have to lose? You are drop dead gorgeous, so if she is into women, it would be great for her.

Why not just start a new one? But the answer is simple. Eat what you like. Why eat something you don't like for the sake of gaining weight?

It is no fun to be with someone who does not like their body. Then trying to make it even more unlikable for her will not be fun.

I would think that tent dresses (muumuus) and stretch pants would make someone feel fat

But it usually takes a whole season, like Christmas to actually gain. I don't think an evening party could bring more than a pound or two.

Usually pear shapes come from female hormones, so most pears are going to be females. Although some males can have a hormone imbalance.

I can understand some costs. Very large clothes have to be ordered from places that make them on demand (they don'ty make them until someone orders them.) There is also a lot of discrimination, and large people make less money, if they can find a job at all. Fat people have to buy two plane tickets to fly anywhere.

But, I really don't understand food costing that much more. Regular Coke costs the same as Diet Coke. Hamburger is cheaper than steak, and is more fattening. Potatoes cost less than most produce, but is the most fattening. Pasta is pretty cheap. Most people do not need that much more food to gain weight. Desserts and ice cream can be costly, but can be cheap too. Store brand snacks can be substituted for name brands, if someone is just trying to gain, and is not picky.

I agree that people should not rush it. At some point, the decision has to be made to either stop gaining or become immobile. By gaining naturally, and enjoying the food along the way, it will postpone that point.

I also do not agree that so many calories equal so much weight. Everyone has a different metabolism. And even the same person will hit plateaus. Some weight is either water weight or temporary weight. If you eat 5 pounds of food, you will gain 5 pounds on the scale. When you eliminate solid or liquid waste, you will lose weight.

Unless someone is really thin with a fast metabolism, it is best just to enjoy the food and eat what you like.
