Is there anything about self-care that i should keep in my
XxxYyy:
I’m closing in on 340, so not like super big but I’ve definitely learned a few things as I’ve grown.
First off is cleaning yourself and general hygiene. The biggest tip that I learned along the way is that shower-wands are going to be your best friend. Once you get to a certain size (for me it was around 300) your belly will kind of start to act like a canopy and it’s going to make it hard for water to reach the areas under your belly and nearly impossible for it to reach the fold underneath your belly. My shower wand greatly extended my ability to wash and rinse in hard to get to areas.
Tight underwear is a no-go. It will dig into your waistline. And if left unchecked it can really start to hurt and make red marks on you. So definitely make sure that whenever you update your wardrobe you update your underwear as well. If you are a person that wears boxers or boxer briefs, this is especially true as they’ll dig into your thighs as well if they’re tight. However, don’t let that scare you from using them, because I’ve found boxer briefs to be life savers when it comes to reducing chafing and rashes. If they’re long enough to cover the place where your thighs touch they can prevent rashes there. And I also have found you can tuck them in between my fupa and thighs to prevent rashes there are well (excuse me for being so blunt but I couldn’t think of another way to phrase it).
More for self-esteem and mental health than physical care, but you also may want to prepare yourself for and think about the things that you physically won’t be able to do because of your size. For example, a few months ago I went to an amusement park with my friends and got on a ride. I didn’t give it any thought beforehand about whether or not I could fit and unfortunately I found out I couldn’t at the last minute. I had already boarded and couldn’t fit in, I had to get out off the ride and was escorted to the exit in front of everyone, it was mortifying to say the least. I wish I would’ve prepared myself for that possibility and maybe saved myself the embarrassment and negative feelings I get from that memory to this day.
Hopefully some of this is useful to you, or at least someone. And to any gainers reading this, good luck with your gains.
TLDR; Consider investing in a shower wand, I promise you it’ll help out a ton. Be mindful of your underwear’s size, because tight underwear is a serious pain in the ass (no pun intended). Certain types of underwear can be used to prevent rashes. Be mindful as you gain of what you may not be physically able to do, it very well may save you from major embarrassment. And good luck.

Shower wands are amazing, and I think that everyone should have them no matter the size.
Adding onto the chafing thing, there's a lot of different products out there to help. Lotions, creams, anti-chafing bands. I've got big thighs, so my go too is wearing bike shorts and/or using an anti-chafing stick.

You’re fine china
My point was that you treat women like objects, not actual people
I have no idea where you acquired this opinion. Is this about my simile about fine china and paper plates? Allow me then to explain: Fine china represents something that is valuable and treated with care, making sure that your actions don't damage it because it is irreplaceable. Paper plates are something you use once and throw away, without the need or desire to care what that does to the plate. The meaning of the simile was the exact opposite of what you claim. It means that each woman is an irreplaceable individual that should be treated with care, not as an object to be disposed of whenever it is convenient.
and you need to put in to these communities what you want out of them. If you want to commune with people you have to contribute to it.
Fair point, but if by "contribute" you mean placing my personal details and pictures on a public forum, then I disagree.
If you know so much about cybersecurity then certainly you understand that women and femme people in particular have an interest and standard in others willing to share and put forth basics of their own.
Hence my opinion that they should not be placing their pictures or information on a public website. And if they felt pressured into doing so, they should reconsider, as there are people like me out there that don't require that in order to consider them someone of worth.
You are not a woman, are talking about how you highly disapprove of *certain* women that you don't even know, and when some of those women come forth and express themselves, you still insist you're right about something you cannot even experience.
Johano:
Number one: You don't know if I am a woman or not, only what I claim to be in my profile.
Number two: That kind of tribalistic thinking is very divisive. Where does that end? "Your opinion is invalid because you are not my (gender, sexual preference, religion, skin color, nationality, whatever) and you cannot, therefore, possibly understand my situation." Ultimately, that means that you consider no one's contrasting opinion valid, because they are not you.
Number three: I emphatically do not "highly disapprove" of anyone doing anything they enjoy, as long as it does not harm others. I apologize if I didn't make that clear enough in the OP. I thought I had.
I did not intend to attack or judge anyone, and thought that I made that clear in the OP. Obviously not, so let me restate:
I have no problem with anyone posting pics of themselves if they enjoy that, and as long as it hurts no one else. IF you feel pressured to do so, please don't give into that. IF you would like to talk to someone who will value your interest, even if you don't post pics, please contact me.
Thank you Munchies for talking to me in a classy way. I know it was classy because you were sipping tea when you did it. And even though you probably don't drink coffee, I still found your opinions valid.
Thank you MVP76 for the same.

It's odd that you will listen to me because I am "classy", but you will not listen to Lora because you perceive her not to be. The tone someone writes or speaks in does not negate the validity of their statement.
Since you are either struggling to read or are being deliberately obtuse, let me restate what she said more clearly.
She did not say, "your opinion is invalid," as you are taking it to be. She is saying that you are speaking on something as an authority that you do not fully comprehend.
You say you work in cybersecurity. How often do you speak to people - professionally and personally - that give you suggestions about how to do your job? I'd assume it to be quite often if you are like any of the IT and cybersecurity people I know. And if that is the case, I'd assume that you would find it annoying or aggravating, depending on the situation.
It's the same concept.
Also, it's rather foolish of you to say, "you only know what's on my profile," when someone draws conclusions based on what you told us about yourself. Why are you upset that people are taking you at your word?
And finally, I will restate why everyone is taking issue with your statements. You portray yourself as a 53-year-old man who inserts himself into places he knows will be sexual. You admit to regularly going to Mari Gras in two different states and thinking to yourself, "These women wouldn't need to be sexually promiscuous if they had someone like me to treat them right." Your first post after being on this site for two days is to tell women to cover up.
You objectify and infantilize women. We do not like it. Please treat us like people and not like like precious objects. Thank you.

*sips coffee - a superior beverage to tea in any known metric *
You have a valid point. I obviously misread some of the dynamic here and I may be on the wrong site for what I'm looking for. Do you have any suggestions for alternative social sites?
Everyone's self worth is tied up in their sexual expression. That's just human nature. But I acknowledge your point. I just expressed a possible scenario where some of the women here (men too, I assume, just to show my inclusive nature) feel pressured to post pics, and are scared to express their opinions on the subject. I think the reaction I got speaks to the accuracy of my supposition.
I do not hide my attraction to bigger women. Everyone who knows me at all well knows I like how bigger women look. I certainly do not consider it a "shameful secret", as many of the people here seem to assume.
If you want to make internet friends without the sexual nature, you can go to any social media platform and make friends based on your non-sexual interests. If you want to make friends based on your sexual interests, don't be shocked if you encounter people being sexual. That's just common sense.
For some people, their sexual expression is tied to their self-worth. However, this is not the case for everyone. I also find it curious that you take issue with the women expressing their sexual nature and not any other gender. Why is it wrong for women to embrace their sexual nature but not anyone else?
The reason everyone is piling on you is that you're slut-shaming.
As to you being open or not about liking bigger women, I was not talking about you specifically. If you re-read the section, I said that it was in response to another user saying that men who do not have a picture of themselves are often shamed by their sexual inclinations.
I was making a general statement about how I empathize with people who do not have a picture of themselves. I then made another general statement about how there are men out there who are ashamed of their sexual inclinations do exist. In other words, I was adding nuance to the topic. And I find it curious that you latched onto that topic the way you did. Either you lack reading comprehension or this *does* apply to you.
I also want to remind you that no one here knows you. We can only go by what you present to us - which isn't making you look good.
It's nice that you are showing skeevy men irl what's what. However, that doesn't do anyone a hill of beans if you are perpetuating a misogynistic mindset online. You came to a fetish website and told women to cover up. Do you realize how silly that sounds?
To answer your question about why people on here like me but do not like you, it has everything to do with our approach.
You slut-shame women and say "Leave those skeevy men alone. I'll treat you better." You're a Nice Guy. No one likes a Nice Guy.
Meanwhile, I'm not looking for anyone. I have a partner I talk about all the time, and he also has an account here. When I'm being horny, I'm talking about this fetish or my partner.
In addition, I'm pretty well-known and well-liked on this site. I mostly post advice, talk about my experiences, and offer general encouragement. The only time I say something that upsets people is when I am pushing back against things such as misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism, abusive behaviors, etc.

This is like going to Burger King and being mad because they sell burgers.

turn your ire to the skeevy men you mentioned earlier
Johano:
Finally, I have ample opportunity IRL to vent my ire on skeevy people. It's actually in my job description. See below in my reply to Reflection of Perfection.
As an aside, I notice you have no profile pic or other pics. And yet the piranhas here aren't feeding on your grisly corpse. Huh.

Johano:
I’m new to this site. I came here looking to see if I could find a female friend to talk to and confide in. After looking through the site, I find that I’m a little dismayed. Women, you don’t have to literally bare yourself to skeezy guys (you know who you are) to be accepted or considered worthwhile people to know. I’m not judging those who actually are exhibitionists and get off on baring their assets. However, I find it hard to believe that every woman in those pics is that way. I suspect that many of you think that you have to do that just to get the acknowledgment that you exist and are worthy of someone’s attention. Well, I am here to tell you that there are plenty of people, just like me, who want to be your friend. Yeah, I am initially attracted to you because of your size and shape, but every relationship has to start somewhere. I will respect you and treat you as another worthy human. I am from the Deep South, and I travel to New Orleans and Mobile every hear for Mardi Gras. Every year, there are women who will flash their breasts to get a handful of cheap beads thrown at them from the floats. I always think to myself, “I would give you flowers and my undivided attention, and you wouldn’t have to flash a single piece of your anatomy.” If there are women on this site who just want to have someone attracted to them, not “in spite of” them being round and soft, but BECAUSE of that, and then have that person treat them with old-fashioned, deep south respect, dignity, and charm, then drop me a line. As we say down here, “You are fine china, so quit letting men use you once and throw you away like a cheap paper plate.”
GoddessRandi:
You say you respect the women that frequent this site, but you're unwilling to show your face here... That's not respectful, that sounds like a closeted chaser and is the same as all the guys on here I've talked to without pictures on their profiles so far.
There are always excuses guys come up with for why they don't want to put pictures up, but they're all a bunch of bullshit to mask that they're too much of a coward to show themselves on a site where people enjoy something other than what media keeps trying to sell us as beautiful.
If you actually respected the women on here and the community itself you wouldn't be afraid to post pictures of your face.
The bigger problem imo is that women are willing and able to show themselves off (rightfully so because they're all gorgeous!) but a lot of guys will hide behind their fears of being publicly seen with a woman that isn't considered socially acceptable by their friends and family.
If you honestly want women like the ones on this site, act like it and put your pictures up and be a part of the community, otherwise you're just a coward pretending to be better than the assholes that use this site as a spank bank

You're on a fetish site, man. This is like going into Burger King and getting mad they sell burgers.
Have you considered that maybe these women post these pictures because they like doing this? That maybe their sexual expression isn't tied to their self worth?
