In this case what would it even mean for you to be a BBW? Just identifying as such? You would still be a biological male, so if it's mostly the body of a BBW what you're after, you won't get it merely by identifying as such. You could do extensive and risky plastic surgery, but even that won't give you the body of a BBW (proponents of such surgeries often over-exaggerate its effectiveness, because it's a lot of money for them in it, so of course they hide the drawbacks and present it as "perfect" ), and it's almost impossible to undo if you later change your mind.

Your fat distribution won't change by just identifying as female.

Would roleplay be an option instead?

This whimsical style of yours is so difficult to get right, and so many have tried and have fallen flat.

But you managed to master it with flying colors! It's really refreshing to read whatever you write, from silly stories to self-depreciating but still cute and wholesome desires.

What I'm more worried about is profiles which are not shameless cyberbeggars but genuine curious people, especially young women who have only recently learned about not everyone hating if they're overweight, and are looking for chatting and participating in a community, for a platform to explore and express themselves... slowly starting to open up, participating in genuine conversations... and then disappearing in a few weeks, most likely due to harassment (or unrequested sexual offers which end in harassment if refused).

(but even this has been ongoing for quite some time, so nothing new here, and the site will likely continue for a long long time without worries of having to close due to not enough participants)

The 5% error can be explained by the angle of the legs redirecting some of the force outwards. Therefore it will be never 100% accurate.

As we're not the only two people on this site, I was wondering maybe there are others who can share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

I also know the basics of Bayesian statistics

But as I haven't conducted a scientific study on a statistically significant level, and don't have the means to do so, this is all the data I have.

An indicator of significance is that I haven't gotten to know them as psychologists. I got to know them randomly, and only later did I discover their profession. Taking in consideration that women of this size are quite rare in my area, it might be at least a little more than pure random chance.

In my area there are many slightly chubby women, but there aren't many really big ones. However, I had to notice that the two fattest women in town I've ever seen (big enough to have difficulty walking too far) are both psychologists by trade. And I know of a third psychologist woman, who is also quite big for local standards.

Is that a coincidence? Or is there something in a psychologist's trade that makes them more likely to gain a lot of weight? Sedentary work alone is not the case, because there are many many office jobs around.

I think the "point of no return" is mostly psychological, it's not about an exact weight and height. There is nothing physically stopping anyone from just starting to eat less, or exercise more, or seek help (if too big to actually exercise).

There are some who got almost immobile and then lost some weight for convenience's sake (despite still remaining feedees), and there are some who feel they are past the point of no return at much smaller sizes than that, because they feel they lost all the will to try and rein in their gluttony.

1. if you could magically transform to a different weight only to try it out for a few hours, what would be it?

2. if you could magically transform to a different weight and keep it (but being able to gain or lose naturally from then onward), what would be it?

3. What made you love (or at least accept) your size? Is it mostly about loving the food/eating, or loving your body, or rather the concept of getting fatter? Basically, what dominates? The eating, the size, or the growth?

From experience it seems that just mentioning them in your profile is OK. What's frowned upon and can be blocked, is if you started to post requests or demands in the forum.

Maybe a moderator can give a more detailed answer, but the general tendency is that merely mentioning it is not a problem, advertising it aggressively is however a problem.
