No one person can be boiled down to a single label like that--at least not one who is well-rounded. I call my self a feeder. I also call myself a nerd. I'll talk about either with someone who shows interest in one or the other; I'd feel incredibly lucky to talk to someone who was both.

People have different priorities. Maybe feederism is the only goal; maybe it's just a small part of who they are. I take the position that assuming someone is the former is asking for trouble. At best you pidgeonhole your relationship before it's gotten started. At worst you lose someone's interest because you've presented yourself as a sex drive with legs.

But of course, maybe you know better than me; I'm new to this, after all. But to me, there's a difference between feederism as a kink and fetishizing people for their body type or habits. The former can enrich relationships. The latter is objectification that needs consent. Communication is at the core of what this thread is about. Finding out what people want before trying to provide what you think they want is critical.

This sounds like something I might try now too; I don't particularly care for trying to read people's minds, especially if their profiles are nearly empty.

The best advice I can give is to keep being patient. From what I understand of your approach in this case, it's similar enough to mine where I don't really want to start feederism talk right away; maybe that's the wrong approach on a forum dedicated to feederism, but my perspective on it is that an interest in feederism is implied here; it's a topic that can be skipped. There are other parts of someone's personality that can be just as if not more interesting than their kinks.

That being said, remember that people have lives and work outside of dating apps. I leave these tabs open while working on a different computer, and it's likely other people might do something similar. Be patient; even though it's just one more day waiting for a response out of the five years you've kept going, it will hurt, maybe more than each day that's already passed. But the most important step isn't the first, or the last; it's always the next one.

So keep reaching out. Maybe change your approach; you might be happier and find more success looking on a traditional dating app/site and bringing up your kink once you've gotten to know each other. That isn't to say it'll be easy. Online dating is the 2nd most demoralizing thing I've ever experienced, only behind job hunting.

But keep trying. Take a break to focus on yourself and other parts of your life, if you have to, but keep trying in the end. Be respectful, and be patient, but be determined. And remember that if people act like shit to you, that's their problem, not yours. Move on to better people.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Updating the description of a story whose title contains a single-quote can cause the quotation mark and everything after it to be lost. Typing the rest of the title back in saves properly, but if you update the description without double-checking the title, you end up losing some of your title.

If I had to guess, I'd say the quote gets lost when it gets copied from the existing title into the text box which appears when editing titles and descriptions.

It's hardly a critical issue, but I did feel a bit bad about my story getting pushed to the top of "last updated" because I had to fix my title.

I could be wrong about what's going on here; I didn't want to test it any further than I already had and continue polluting the most updated list.

It's unclear what it is you're actually looking for on this site. All you've done with this post is communicate that you think there's something wrong with women seeking a bit of sexual gratification in a low-risk environment.

If you're looking for a more intimate connection with someone, beyond sexual gratification, maybe try presenting the things which make you worth talking to on your profile.

If your issue is that people are unwilling to meet up in real life, for sexual gratification or otherwise... well, again, it's difficult to justify meeting someone in real life without understanding more about their personality.

That's just my opinion, though. I can't speak to what everyone else is looking for on this site. Likewise, you shouldn't assume what people want, nor judge them for spending their time the way they want as long as they're clearly communicative about those expectations.

I like to write prose
and lines of C-code
and while the daylight away
amusing my cats
and petting my dog
while watching a niche anime.
My kind of party
meets in a tavern
or lobbies of video games.
I think it'd be fun
to find love with a geek--
Let's chat if you're thinking the same!

Gynesexual Feeder in Central Illinois!

I'm actively practicing ethical non-monogamy, and I'm on here to look for someone who shares some of my interests and likes food a little too much. If you're wondering what ENM means to me, feel free to ask!

Even if you're not looking for a feeder, I'd still love to chat about nerd stuff! Ask me about the games I play, the D&D campaigns I run, or the stories I write. Or ask about my pets, I'll gush about them all day~

Munchies gives good advice; if your priorities are your career and relationships (and they probably should be), and you have reason to believe gaining weight will threaten them, then see if you can find happiness in the space between gaining and maintaining the rest of your life.

I'll be the devil's advocate here, though. Would you be happy in a long-term relationship with someone where maintaining your relationship requires maintaining your physique? Is your career dependent on physical fitness, whether for cosmetic or for practical reasons? Or would you continue to be valued by your employers even if you gained weight?

These are questions I'm sure only you can answer. But I think that even with the common stigmas around being fat, it doesn't have to be the deciding factor in the things which matter to you.

TL;DR: YMMV, but from my understanding of the physics, this is an effective way to bloat with soda!

The reason floats froth like they do isn't because of some chemical reaction; it's the same mechanism as Diet Coke + Mentos, actually.

Essentially, CO2 becomes a gas again when it has something to grow from. This can be a rough surface (which is why bottles need to be smooth on the inside) or other bubbles (which is how shaking sodas makes them explode).

Ice cream makes for an effective surface in this regard, giving the CO2 lots of places to become gaseous, which is what makes a float froth; what's special about floats is that the sugar and cream content of ice cream makes the liquid thicker, resulting in more dramatic and longer-lasting foam.

In theory this works with any sugary ice cream and well-carbonated soda; root beer happens to be very sugary already, so the liquid is even thicker.

Whether the thickness of the resulting foam results in a more satisfying bloat is a matter of perception and taste, but the combination of the heaviness of the ice cream and the expansion of the soda decarbonating may be exactly what you're looking for.
