This might be most applicable to folks who live in the Southern or Southwest United States (except California), or have visited the area several times.

But, ever noticed how much the Whataburger logo looks like the Wonder Woman logo?

If you aren't familiar with Whataburger, it's a chain of burger restaurants that started in southern Texas back in '50, and slowly expanded from there. As far as I can tell, they only seem to be in states that border the Gulf Coast (Deep South) or in the Southwest (shares a border with Mexico) with the exception of California. Kind of surprised no one has tried to open a franchise location in California yet, or Las Vegas, NV, or Arkansas for that matter (Arkansas has the heaviest residents of all American states, last I checked). Easternmost locations appear to be in Jacksonville, FL and westernmost locations seem to be in Phoenix, AZ.

But I remember the other day I asked a woman (who was aware of feederism) if a picture of her was of the Whataburger logo. It seems so obvious now, but she pointed out that no, it's the Wonder Woman logo. Then she commented that she loved that apparently food was on my mind.

Anyway yeah, that's my random thought.

The possibly most insane thing about this thread?

OP lists his location as DC, which so far as I know is that amongst all American metro areas, has the lowest rate of obesity and probably fatness in general. Yes, an even lower rate than Colorado and Denver (Colorado is the thinnest state for some reason).

Makes one wonder what might be possible elsewhere in America.

Since it's all fantasy, well... yeah.

Not really sure how it'd work in my case, since I'm trying to actively gain as of this writing, and I'm aware of feederism so I would most likely notice quickly. But I might try to play along as long as I can, pretending I don't notice.

Although yes, I'd love if my next girlfriend was a large lady and the sort who cooks large portions out of habit, because she's not used to cooking for skinny people, but of course I'd always try to finish even if I have to struggle a little bit. Or alternatively, a lady of any size where the portions she prepares seem to get ever so slightly larger over time. Or if she asks if I want a snack, and it's always something calorie dense and fattening, but she seems to ask more often than before.

I would guess the first one (large lady who's only used to preparing big portion sizes for larger folks) is semi-common, though I don't really ask folks about this. But I do know this is a real thing in some cases. It's even perfectly innocent with no particular intent; it's just her way.

So many possible ideas, and a caveat.

The only major caveat I can think of, is that most snack foods of various sorts tend to be obscenely overpriced on Amazon. That sort of thing, buy it at the local grocery store. Never buy that off of Amazon. On to the ideas:

- Beer bongs (cheapest way overall to obtain a suitable funnel).

- Portable wheeled clothing rack to hang the beer bong/funnel from.

- Shower hose/shower hose switch/shower hose T-valve/sprayer (similar to the kitchen sink).
It's easier to spray areas the regular shower head won't really reach. In most bathrooms, the toilet is next to the shower. Without trying to over to top TMI, it's much nicer for when it's time for #2. Just use a half sheet of a paper towel to wipe up moisture.

- Hair epilator
It's annoying to contort like a gymnast to shave body hair every other day to every day, not to mention incredibly time consuming. It also only ever gets harder, the fatter you get. The results really do seem like waxing. It's SO worth it and so much insane bang for your buck it's not even funny. I don't really follow a set schedule but I think I only really need to cover most areas about once every 1-2 weeks. Recall that waxing means letting all your hairs grow to a quarter inch or longer; gross. Makes the week before waxing horrid. The catch is you can't really use it on genital or most facial hair, unfortunately.

- Armless office chair, though you're probably better off going to a used furniture store.

- T-shirts or crop tops that say "Always hungry."

- Underwear is generally stretchy, so you should almost certainly buy a size or two larger; gives you room to grow.

- Digital scale with a glass surface. It's rare to find one new that doesn't support at least 400 lbs.

- Cow print bikinis, if that's your thing.

- 1-2 items of clothing that are much larger, to kind of give you a goal.

- If you really want to try going hardcore, maltodextrin gaining powder (e.g. Carbo-gain). But beware.. if mixed with heavy cream or half and half it will clump up really bad and you can't drink it, so don't mix the two. And never go too overboard with it in general.


That's all I can think of for now. Not really sure what kind of responses you were hoping for.

Use scissors to cut the wrapping.

I see what you're trying to say, but "beer bong" is the term to search for, not "beer pong." On Amazon they're inexpensive, at least in America where the OP is located.

Beer pong is a silly high school and college drinking game where cups are arranged in a triangle formation at either end of a long table. Each cup has beer, filled up to maybe an inch or 2-3 centimeters deep. Players on either team take turns tossing ping pong balls (hence, "beer pong" trying to score by sinking them into the cups for the other team. If you successfully sink a ball into a cup, someone on the other team has to swallow/chug the beer in the cup and remove it from the table. Team members take turns being the one who has to drink the beer in each cup. You win by causing the other team to run out of cups before you run out. If you want an additional challenge, you use shot glasses because the top opening is smaller.

I want to say only one company even makes funnel gags because they're so niche and uncommon, but all sorts of companies sell beer bongs.

I think you answered your own question. Just don't ask, ever. At least you have the good sense of not doing that.

If he was asked, I expect he'd feel irritated, maybe taken advantage of, and even resentful. I know I would.

You can wish for it, sure. Doesn't mean he ever will, so don't hold your breath.


I would advise either focusing on cheaper food, or better yet, try to improve your financial situation. This could getting a raise from work, or a better job, either at the same workplace (possibly easiest) or another.

I'd say so. I'm actually amazed you can down all that at your size. I still can't eat an entire large thick crust pizza in one sitting, though I've been able to do if I eat some earlier in the day, and the rest later in the day. Thin crust pizzas are much easier, but that's less volume and mass.

Unless a "large" pizza from Domino's is smaller in the UK than it is in America. But even so, I think that's a pretty good sized order for someone of your current size.

Also moderately jealous, but also gratified that you're embracing this now. College offers an unprecedented opportunity to really get into this, because of the very high degree of scheduling flexibility you have. Alas, I denied myself for years, including college. While not impossible, it's more difficult when you're a bit older and have more demands on your time.

Offline

Sometimes, the older, time-tested ways still work. Maybe you meet someone through friends, or there's offline activities you engage in, where you might meet some folks this way.

And let's get real.. in 15 minutes, or even 5 minutes of talking to someone face to face, will tell you a whole lot more than weeks of sporadic online chat will tell you in all likelihood.

Even meeting folks at bars, coffee shops, bookstores, even retail and supermarkets still work. You really just never know what might happen.

And if you aren't engaging in any offline, in-person activities in your community and town, why not? If you're too shy or nervous, trying online probably won't help. If nothing like that is interesting to you, then odds are good you might not be interesting enough to hold someone else's attention, though not necessarily.

Unless folks in your area are very skinny in general, odds are as long as the activity isn't very physically rigorous, there are likely to be some others there who will be fat.

But whether online or offline, having some shared interests is nevertheless immensely helpful.

But if you don't explore offline possibilities, I expect you'd likely remain single for a long time. Usually someone can seem very different online, than offline. So oftentimes, while it may not be like starting from step 1 again, it'll be like starting from step 2 again.
