I'm aware in this community payment in straight money (PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Bitcoin, etc.) or in kind (Uber Eats, GrubHub, Steam Cards, etc.) seems to be required for a majority of community members to meetup.

As someone with a good income, knowledge of cybersecurity, and a concern for safety but an aversion to scams and instant gratification, I'm going to say right now that this type of behaviour is not going to be indulged by me. I don't send money to strangers. Period.

If you feel unsafe or untrusting of someone, getting money from them isn't a solution. Anyone with money can do that, sorry to say.

A better solution is to get to know someone over messaging, email, or phone/video calls, then meetup in an open or public location. If you're afraid of someone finding your licence plate number or being stuck with someone, take a cab or Uber. If you are untrusting of someone, don't agree to marry them or share pictures, especially nudes, of yourself. And don't pressure anyone else for nudes or personal information, because that's sexual harassment and abuse. Full stop.

At the same point, if someone is done with you, don't keep pestering them or try to find them online. That's harassment too. And it will get you nothing other than ghosting, blocks, bans, restraining orders, or potentially police investigations. Don't do it.

Also, people don't have to tell you the truth. This goes both ways: If someone is obviously evasive or lying, give up. It's a waste of time. If someone is not responding, don't waste your time with them either.

Finally, note, you can't change other people's behaviour. You can't force someone who is frightful, deceptive, treacherous, aggressive, probing, or has very different standards of privacy or honesty from you to comply with your standards.

That's just my two cents.

I personally don’t like this stuff and I think it’s cringe when there’s people talking about people’s pants and shirts not fitting when they’re out in public. Like damn imagine you being told that unless you’re into humiliation.

That’s different than finding someone attractive. That’s fetishizing and kinda messed up. I don’t think anyone would be okay with someone fantasizing about raping someone and then like describing it, and then saying it’s just what they find attractive — I’m not making that comparison in this instance I’m just saying it for an example, to be clear

Letters And Numbers:
This is a website that caters to a fetish community? It’s not the only thing it does, but it’s a big part of it.

Morbidly A Beast:
Yes but the people who join this are consenting. The people being fetishized would probably be mortified if they found this stuff.

Letters And Numbers:
I think most people would see that as an extreme take at the very least, or more likely just trolling. But everyone has their own trip so I hope that is a good one for you.

What happened to this thread lol

Newenglander:
It devolved from a discussion of fit high school graduates going on to become obese office workers, to a discussion of the United States devolving from its founding principles of liberty and self-sufficency to the rise of nanny-state authoritarianism.

Come to think of it, today's America may very well be the perfect metaphor for what happened to those once trim and fit HS grads!

Maybe once the political left finishes crippling our country, we can revisit this discussion and draw parallels to obesity-induced immobility.

Snacking on a protein bar which Is 208 calories and 17.2g protein 😳 and it actually tastes so good as its toffee apple flavour! So now I'm thinking about how many I could eat in a day to gain weight or more wondering how many would be reccomended to gain safely? Because they just taste so good and go down such a treat! Lately I feel as though I've been missing the feeling of new weight and of feeling heavier, so perhaps these will help in between when I'm not stuffing.

I've also been thinking about protein shakes a lot lately too, but I'm quite fussy with their taste and texture so if anyone can suggest a good one, with nice flavours, I would love that! The first thing I would do if I got a tub would so be a funneling 😍 I haven't done one in a while and I can often feel the itch to do them... perhaps for now I just do another one of my megashakes with milk, ice cream, cream, and peanut butter 🤤 

Now all this talk about stuffing and growing has me craving kfc 😩🤤

Newenglander:
Are the protein bars in question also high in carbohydrates?

If you're looking to actively gain fat versus muscle mass, consider a snack food that's also high in carbohydrates and low in dietary fiber.

Remember, calories are simply a measure of thermal energy, and not necessarily a good indicator of how "fattening" a food will be.

While it's hot AF, keep in mind there's nothing "safe" about gaining (further) into obesity.

Maestroff:
Gotcha, we see this reality we both share vastly differently.

Sir Neapolitan:
Anybody have some recommendations for alpha beta omega feederism stories worth checking out on here? Ideally with a female omega gaining. Asking for a friend. 😂

52Percent:
Well I like them thick b!tches. But dad bods are also kinda cool too.

Miachu:
if you wanna gain cheaply, I recommend biscuits.

where I'm from, I can buy a pack of biscuits with chocolate in between them, each having about 100 cals in one biscuits, with about 10+ biscuits in the packet, for just over £1

i find biscuits to be fairly cheap and easy extra calories to have

ForeverFFA:
Digestives? Sadly for gainers in the U.S. there's no cheap equivalent. "Cookies"/biscuits are normally as low fat as possible because that's what sells here.

I think it’s safe to say that in the year 2023, the groceries are at an all-time high. As a full-time college student who works part-time, I don’t have a ton of money to spare on extra snacks and fast food. The only real disposable income I have is enough for gas, rent and utilities, and my monthly tuition plan with a few subscription services as well. Any budget friendly gaining tips for a new gainer?
