Lately I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be from Buffalo, New York.

Just now I checked on "maps". Sure enough, there's a huge cluster of people in Buffalo, male and female.

Is Buffalo some kind of fat-positive paradise or what?

Just spit-balling here. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet...

If you have a nice-sized belly, put on a too-small t-shirt. Make sure the shirt is small enough so that it exposes a bit of your belly.

Go out in public. From time to time, "absent-mindedly" pull down the shirt to cover up your belly. Of course the shirt will immediately ride up as soon as you let go.

The FAs will be the ones gaping at your belly.

<quote>I agree with ChubbyHoney, why make it directed at their weight at all?</quote>

Two reasons that occur to me:

1. We imagine that if the woman knew we prefer her size she would like that about us;

2. There are some women who think they have to lose weight before even getting into a relationship and we would like to disabuse them of this notion. There are probably fewer of those than there used to be.

But you're right...it would probably backfire at least as often as it worked!

A take-off on Vinylrider's idea.

In the scenario where someone has gained weight since you saw her last, you say: "You look great! Have you changed your hair or something?"

Obviously if this line of questioning makes her uncomfortable, drop it. Otherwise, continue, pretending you don't know what has changed: "No...that's not it. Hmm...you definitely look different though." And she may eventually admit to having gained some weight. Then of course you say: "Oh, that must be it! Looks good on you!"

The "eating emoticon" would make a nice feedee badge:

For feeders, I suggest the fork:

--E

or simply:

I <3 :G

A non-serif font would look better for all of these.

emmyjk and I were just chatting about how inspiring all the weight-gain photos on the internet can be and both think there's a feedback effect:

1. People post pics of their gain...
2. inspiring more people to start gaining themselves,
3. resulting in even more gaining pics...
4. [goto step 2]

If true, we could end up with a lot of fat and gaining people!

Works for me!

Think it's true?

How much do you weigh?

Let me point out that non-FAs have the same sort of problem when their significant others GAIN weight.

Since people are more likely to gain weight over the years than lose it, FAs are actually better off in this respect. At least on average.

There's a really cute phase, a little bigger than the starter belly, where the belly is just a bit too big to suck in anymore.

It would be cool to have a name for that..."newly unsuckinable"?
