OK....
From the whole English speaking part of the planet, 103 people have read this post, nobody has replied.
And then the topic is success stories, which people probably are happy to share.
When I searched the topic, I found a number of people (men) concerned with, or depressed by, the fact that they could not find a somewhat suitable partner that was also a feedee.
Maybe that IS a fact?

Munchies:
You asked about success stories about male feeders having a long-term relationship with non-feedist partners. That's limiting your sample size.

I've had relationships with feedist and non-feedist partners. I'm in a happy relationship right now with my male feedee partner. But based on your question, my experiences are not relevant.

X_Larsson:
Your contribution is of course welcome, even if it reflects the opposite scenario, it seems.
But I hope to get feedback from male feeder / female non-feedee couples, or people that used to be in such relations.

I had an experience finding a doctor here. On my first office visit she wanted to discuss gastric bypass. That was my last visit to her.

Some self-analysis: I like it when a girl has a belly. But for me they do not necessarily have to keep growing to be interesting.

To me it seems that the majority of the active users on FF prefer for themselves or others to gain weight instead of keeping current weight.

To each his/her/their own, of course (just do what you feel like doing), but it got me thinking: am I in the right place here? or is FF actually not for me? Any other members (girls/boys) recognising this?

Wowthatsbig:
Just wanted to get it off my chest. I've fallen into to some chats that have definitely hurt me. I don't want to kik. I don't want to cashapp. I don't want to send Bitcoin.

I just wanted to immerse myself in the community but I think I dove into quick.

I need some maturity on my end but damn it makes me sad.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Tentacles:
Just curious. Personally I think a happy life is more important than length of life so don't think I'm judging.

MegaMomma420:
I need help! I'm looking to build friendships, and get a lil help. I need helpers who are willing to bless my Cashapp (hold on, not a scam!) so that I can order Doordash, and put a little aside for needs.

For every donation over $20 I will send a pic, for a donation $50 or greater I will send you a personal pic including all the food I ordered and am eating. For donations $100 or more we can do a video (nothing porny) and I can eat for you!

I'm a depressed, disabled single mom...I'm willing to work with what I've got.

... I have noticed that there are a lot less users from anywhere else than USA. I myself am a Finn.

Makethatgirlfatter:
You're not wrong. I've been on this site for a long time, and it used to be almost exclusively Americans. Although I don't think feedism/FA culture is an extremely widespread thing, I'd bet there are a lot of people throughout the world that would be interested if they knew about it.

That being said, I think the community is growing (pun intended), and I feel it'll continue to expand internationally in the future (again, pun intended).

Casually Walking:
Technically everyone has it, let me explain

It is widely believed that every single person will develop a want for a bigger partner under stress, because eons ago, when humans didn’t have an abundance of resources, stress usually came with a drought or a bad harvest, which meant someone larger had food

In the sense of the people who’s preference never “turns off”, well, that’s more difficult to gage, someone would have to go around asking everyone if they like fat, being fat, or any other relation to the fetish. And I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t admit it due to the stigma surrounding beauty

Bellyempire:
So perhaps fat fetishism is based on stress in childhood

Meatycake:
I've wondered about this before, like just how much about a fetish/ sexual preferences in general are defined by a genetic factor, or an environmental factor
As with most things tho,
It's probably a mixture of the two.
In the case of Americans
One'd think they are proportionality more into feedism because their culture simply exposes them to overt gluttony more often
If they had the predisposition pre-wired the exposure at the right age would set the fetish in for life.
But it's really hard to work any science with feedists populations because there is marginally no data
Like what is the actual proportion of feedist in the general population vs that of the US?
no one fucking knows!!
One more thing, the English language is the most prevalent on the internet, and US population is the biggest anglophone in numbers and afflunce
So they are over-represented on the internet in all topics, feedism being merely one of them.
BTW I'm from Brazil, and down here both feedism and just any non fetish preferences for fatter people are a major non-spoken taboo.
To the point I actually thought I was the only person into weight gain before I learned English and saw the English internet.
It is that bad
