Do "nerdy" appearances make women look younger and cuter?

Jshep2158:
What would you think of a transformation like this?

Before



After


Does glasses, chubby cheeks, double chin, and messy hair along with a more shy personality make female characters look younger and more adorable?

For some reason this type of transformation drives me crazy lol


I mean, I'm glad you like it. But it doesn't really make a woman look younger. Well, the shyness and chubby cheeks might. And maybe certain glasses. But everything else? Eh ...

I know some women who actually look older with all of these things. It depends on the person.

Pants for fat people

Morbidly A Beast:
Is it as easy as taking measuring tape and measuring my waist? I thought there was more process to it than that. Does 44 mean your waist is 44 inches?

It includes how to do it for male and female sizes.

Pants for fat people

Morbidly A Beast:
I need a pair of nice pants for an event and I have no idea where to start for someone my size as my most recent pair of pants are 44’s that I got when I had a uniform service for work and they are not even close remotely. I look online and everything just seems so big snd i don’t wanna just window shop online buy something to small or big, then I try the stores around me only carry up to 42.


I'd recomnend measuring yourself to find out your size to at least get a ball park figure.

Polygon's critique of the whale

PolyPinoyPuppy:
Quite a scathing review of the movie. Things like this make me wonder if we'll ever see fat celebrated or even just accepted in our culture.

www.polygon.com/reviews/23351261/the-whale-review-brendan-fraser

Munchies:
This isn't even a good review. The whole thing is "movie bad because fat people are gross and stupid". That's it. There's nothing of substance at all.


Did we read the same thing? That isn't at all how I read the review at all. If anything, the reviewer levies against the movie the same criticisms you have for her review:

In The Whale, Aronofsky posits his sadism as an intellectual experiment, challenging viewers to find the humanity buried under Charlie’s thick layers of fat. That’s not as benevolent of a premise as he seems to think it is. It proceeds from the assumption that a 600-pound man is inherently unlovable. It’s like walking up to a stranger on the street and saying, “You’re an abomination, but I love you anyway,” in keeping with the strong strain of self-satisfied Christianity that the film purports to critique. Audience members get to walk away proud of themselves that they shed a few tears for this disgusting whale, while gaining no new insight into what it’s actually like to be that whale. That’s not empathy. That’s pity, buried under a thick, smothering layer of contempt.


The reviewer's tone is one of absolute disdain for the movie's "fable" and for all of its premises, such as the idea that fat people are disgusting--that they are people *despite* being fat, rather than fat being just one part of their lives:
For a movie that, in the most generous reading possible, encourages viewers to consider that maybe there’s a painful backstory behind bodies they consider “disgusting” (the movie’s word), The Whale seems to have little interest in the point of view of its protagonist, Charlie (Brendan Fraser.

PolyPinoyPuppy:
The reviewer came across as nothing but critical of the movie's reinforcement of the status quo perception of fat people as less than human--as whales.


This is what I get for reading at work during a stressful day. I reread the article. Apparently, I am having an off day.

Advice on talking with my gf about my weight gain desire

Blimp Bizkit:
So for context: Me and my GF has been together for more than a year now. We both love each other very much and are happy together smiley She is a bit on the heavy side as well but does not desire to gain weight and is not a part of the feederism community. She is atm trying to loose weight which I respect, as I know she is not feeling comfortable with being very big.

She is pansexual and I know she loves me for who I am and I know she really does not mind my extra weight at all smiley (She has even stated it herself quite clearly on it).

She practically knows everything about me, but she does not know that I want to actively gain weight and become fatter.

I know deep inside that she would be okay with it, as long as it does not go too far of course, but I am also a bit anxious on how to bring it up or talk to her openly about it more. I know she loves me for me, and has even said "if you gain weight, there is just more to love".

I dont want to toss her straight into the feederism world, but just start slowly with "I want to gain weight and I like being fat" and take things as it comes.

I just dont really know how to say it or bring it up really, I just feel anxious over it as I have never really told anyone (outside the feederism community) about what I really want and I guess im just building up the courage to bring it up to talk about it with her.

I think my big fear is that she will become afraid that I will become far too fat and put myself at a health risk, with me saying I want to get fatter. I know she is respectful of peoples choices and their own bodies, but I know she would put her foot down if she feels like something can be potentially dangerous.


This is a non-issue. Just tell her. She may not become your feeder, but she will at least be supportive

I'm overeating since 2 months and not gaining :(

Sweetpapi:
Thanks for answers! Now I know that it was a silly question 🙄😊 I don't have extremely fast metabolism, I used to be fatter and ate a lot less than now... But some time ago, I lost weight very quickly (not even intentionally!) and I did not expect that gaining weight again will be such a tedious work! 😉 if anyone else has any opinions, I'll be glad to hear from you! ❤️

Fatchance:
Wait, based on what you just wrote you need to get some blood work done. That sounds like a hyperactive thyroid and that can cause lots of other issues besides not being able to gain weight!

Sweetpapi:
Thanks!
I suspected it, because I have acne since couple years and no external medicaments helps. But I didn't know it could have an effect on metabolism as well!
I'll do blood tests immediately and let you know!


The thyroid controls the metabolism. Rapid, unintentional weight loss is one of many symptoms.

How to get a big pregnancy weight gain

Sophie115486:
weight gain should not be exacerbated during pregnancy even though tantalizing, many complications can be bad for mother and baby.


Some weight gain is to be expected - even encourage. But gain too much and both mother and baby could get sick.

Besides, the real weight gain happens after you give birth.
