I think some of the more famous feedees want to get out of the spotlight. For one thing, no one is ever satisfied. Instead of commenting how good someone looks, they comment on how much better they will look after they gain even more. I think some realize that immobility is not as much fun as they thought. They don't want negativity about stopping gaining, so they disappear. In other cases, I am sure all of the attention is distracting from a relationship, so they disappear to keep their relationship from failing.

I guess it depends on why people are here. If someone is looking for a relationship, hopefully they are not expected to pay for that. Of course when someone is in a relationship, it is not unusual to pay for dates. I am here because I love to hear about women who want to gain. I want them to gain because they love being a BBW, not because they are looking to get paid for it. Yes, it costs money to gain, but spending money is making that purchase a priority, and I like women who make gaining priority.

There are weights that people hit that make things harder or impossible to do. It is different for everyone, and people are shaped differently and are different heights, so there is no one point for everyone. These are things like fitting in cars, fitting in planes, being able to walk without aids, etc.

The clothing industry generally uses size 14 and above as BBW, and size 28W and above as SSBBW. But with sizing not standard, and many women different sizes for top and bottoms, this does not always work.

There are certain hormones males need to take, on top of the hormones needed to grow breasts. Also, I have heard that abruptly stopping taking female hormones can cause lactation. But you need real breasts first, not just moobs.

Unfortunately, girdles are almost obsolete. I remember seeing a girl in my 6th grade class with a girdle outline under her dress. Perhaps that is when I became interested in larger females.

In my opinion, doing something just because other people are doing it, is not a good reason. Do you want to be heavier?

Too many men think that all they have to do is make their SO know that they love their weight. But that is not the issue. The issue is, if she likes her weight. No matter how much you like her weight, that is not what counts. If you really love HER, and not her weight, all you can do is support any decision she makes. It's frustrating, because if you know enough fat people, you know that dieting causes weight gain in the long run, which can make her uphappier.

The "down to earth" quality is a big factor for me too.
