Were there any other people who planned on posting up a story on this theme? I can leave it stickied for as long as needed, or we can move on if we're done.

However!
Now when I go into My Profile, I get this error message:

Here's a clue for anyone who needs it - on here at least: Look at the number of female fatties photo's and the number of positive comments these attract, most often from males. Now compare that with the photo's of male fatties - how many comments do you see from either sex, let alone from females. Not many...
Letters And Numbers:
That could just mean that women have better manners (not that every comment is rude) or donât want to express themselves that way. It doesnât necessarily reflect attraction in a big sense.
I think Malvineousâ example is closer to some actual data, even though I think it has problems.
MRFATS53:
Isn't expressing oneself A, if not THE, major attraction for being on this site in the first place? F/F is an essentially anonymous site so I see no other logical reason for the comments imbalance I mention. Other interpretations are always a possibility - but in this case I think it's a hard case to argue anything other than many more men find fat woman attractive than women find fat men so.
Youâre saying that women are just as likely to publicly objectify men as men are to women, which I disagree with. I think men are socialized to feel more comfortable objectifying women, even in anonymous spaces. But I could be wrong.

Malvineous:
Out of curiosity, I did a search on Feabie for women who like men who are "chubby with a belly", and got 7,793 results out of a total 19,424 women who like men in general, making it 40.1% of the total.
I repeated the same search on Grommr for men seeking men with the same body type. It returned 23,921 out of a total of 50,186, or 47.6%.
OP does have a point. Not only is the percentage higher for men by almost 8 points, but the gap between 7K women and 23K men is huge. It's no surprise that more men are in these communities than women, and combine that with women generally not making the first move and being more cautious than men online, and they're going to feel rare in comparison.
I'm not sure that those are the most accurate/scientific comparisons. The sites seem to have different cultures which could sway the way people use them. Interesting though?
Is there a reason you chose that "chubby with a belly" category instead of something bigger like the OP was talking about? He asked about obese men.

Let's call the derail over and move back to the original topic of the thread, if anyone else has anything to add. OP, I think it's safe to say that both men and women can be, and are, attracted to men of all sizes, including obese men.

I'm going to keep this thread stickied for a bit longer, there might still be some folks who are wrapping up stories.
Thanks to everyone for playing and reading (and I promise to finish mine soon).
Do you want to just run the same theme through the end of May and give more people a chance to participate?

I like obese men and obese women, but I see that there are more men who like obese men than obese women who like an obese man.
Munchies:
I am so confused by what you are saying.
Are you saying that there are fewer women who like obese men than there are men who like obese women? Because if so, I recommend you go outside more. Talk to people. Touch some grass.
Letters And Numbers:
If I'm interpreting correctly, he might be talking about his own personal experience, which is anecdotal, but a valid thing to talk about. No need to be rude. Not everyone always expresses themselves super clearly.
Munchies:
I'm not being rude. I am being very blunt.
When you say things like this, it feeds into the narrative that women only like guys with a 6 pack. This is hardly true, and it paints women as vain and men who are not fit as being straight out of luck.
And in fat fetish places where there is already a narrative among men that most women on here only want women, it's not great.
Also, OP is not a man. Not sure if they are still using they/them pronouns tho.
Ask for clarification if you are confused by what another user is saying, please.
