And the next thing you know you've gained 200+ pounds 😳

Sl2010:
And then you turn the energy inwards and feed yourself. And then you can’t stop because it feels so damn good.

/pimples and ingrown hairs…

But I’m not a doctor or anything wouldn’t hurt to get looked at. Skin cancer isn’t something to play around with

I believe they are called echymoses, but I am interested in more than a mere diagnosis. (They admittedly and of course have much to do with my on again, off again practice of gorging myself to ridiculous measure!)

It's definitely a sign of submission in my eyes... Don't see how a round soft tire of around your waist can be perceived as powerful

Munchies:
It really depends. For some, being big means being powerful. They get to literally throw their weight around. Have you ever heard of squashing? It's a kink where someone bigger than you crushes you under their weight. You see it more on Dimensions than on FF.

Then you have dominant feedees with submissive feeders. The feeders wait on the feedee hand and foot while the feedee indulges as much as they want.

Hurgon:
Definitely.

It was often a sign of wealth too - access to more and better food, no need to do the physical labour, etc. I don't know whether this is still the case in some cultures and parts of the world. A lot of portraits from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries draw attention to the swell and straining buttons around the subject's paunch.

Tentacles:
I do wonder if some women see their hubbies having big paunch as complimentary to their cooking.

Munchies:
As a woman living in the American South, I can vouch for that being a thing.

FordB:
As a man living in the American South I can vouch that there are a lot of people that treat it that way. And the amount of women I had overheard talking about their husband getting fatter after marriage and thinking it is cute is even more hilarious.

Tentacles:
How often are these women fat themselves? Considering its the south of the USA I guess most.

Munchies:
Something to keep in mind is that Southern men will keep their wives fed too. I know husbands that will regularly cook for their wives or buy them meals/treats. It's cute.

Tentacles:
See with the Bodi example there seem to be no images of fat Bodi women all seem to look very slim.

Munchies:
Yes, because the Bodi men equate fatness with power. They expect their women to be subservient to their men, so they need to remain slim.

It's not great.

Tentacles:
Isn't some of it seem to be to impress the women though? It is said to be whats considered to be attractive.

In Mauritania

I am not a fan of this situation. Unlike the Bodi tribe situation, the situation in Mauritania is just abusive.

When the Bodi men get fat, it's as a way to get power. However, the Mauritanian women are forced to get fat. They subject their girls to inhumane torture to gain weight because of misogynistic reasons. There is a reason why the government outlawed the practice.

Their bellies are not a sign of power but rather a sign of submission to men. Their situation isn't comparable to the Bodi tribe.
