Getting asked for a picture of yourself

Refeed:
It's s double standard. I'm a creep without one but women can be like this even though I feel nervous about doing it. I always get the so what? Answer, so like most things it depends on the people involved.


Gotta remember the gender power imbalance. Women are more likely to be harmed than men for showing their pictures than men are.

That being said, there are plenty of women who are happy to share their pictures very early in the conversation. And at the very least, you can just wait until you build up rapport and trust before asking for pics. Never hurts to play it face.

Fat belly but small boobs

Mikig1:
What do you think about it when woman is quite chubby it fat with big belly, thighs and fat ass but still very small boobs?
It happened to my girlfriend, she always has small boobs, gained quite a lot, doubled the weight but boobs didn't grow almost at all. She doesn't like the gain and boobs make it even worse for her unfortunately but I like her boobs very much so she feels better being appreciated all the time ❤️
Did you have such experience?


Cishet muscular woman here. I can't personally relate or comment on physical attraction. But all bodies are valid and beautiful. I'm sorry to hear she isn't happy with her body. I hope be one day - whether it's being happy with the body she has or losing weight.

It's good that you find her attractive and shower her with affection.

Getting asked for a picture of yourself

Miachu:
Decided I'd make a quick forum to see what other people have to say on the topic

I'm sure a lot of us have experience talking with someone, then very early into the conversation they ask to see what you look like

What's people's views on this? Do you view this as a normal thing? Or do you think it is not etc etc


It's normal in the sense that a lot of people do it. I just personally don't agree with it due to safety.

I will say that if someone's asking for a PG pic, it may have innocent intentions. Some people like to know what the person they are talking to looks like.

I still wouldn't do it unless I really trusted that person.

Fat fetish/feederism study

SilverRaven:
Done. Will you share your findings on the site BlackBarbie108? It could be quite interesting 🤔


The results were posted about 3 weeks ago. If you go to her activities page, you should find them.

For women, femme, and non-binary/gnc friends: what would a safe fa space look like to you?

Malvineous:
Personally, I'm not bothered with women making a girls only club if they want to. Although, I think the objections Munchies raised are all valid.

Bumble has a mechanism for preventing men from messaging first. There are also women-only facebook groups, subreddits, forums, etc. Maybe the safe space you're looking for already exists in some form?

That's not meant to discourage whatever this project is. I'm still not sure what someone is supposed to do on the site, other than feel safe. Is it for discussion, microblogging, networking, dating, or what? Knowing what it's specifically for could change your method of moderating it.


This thread is more about a hypothetical safe space rather than what a person would do within this safe space. Another thread for another day, perhaps. Not a bad discussion to have, though.

Even good men won't be allowed because they should know how people like us suffer from creepy men!

AnotherLonelyAgingNerd:
No good thing ever started with exclusion.


I suppose it depends on what you are excluding.

I am with you on exclusion based on gender. But, if a person is part of a group that is actively harmful, then excluding them isn't a bad thing.

That being said, screening such people out before they join is probably not feasible.

Krystal Saphira:
I had realized long ago that there is no such place as a "safe place". Some places are just safer than others and we all do our best to keep our own selves safe.

I have known Ditzy for many years. I have never felt unsafe around her. Understanding can go in more than one direction. Thank you.


Ditzy isn't really the focus here. No one said they felt safe or unsafe around her.

What happened was *I* said that as a WOC, a very specific group of white people were problematic. Ditzy misunderstood what I said and thought I was attacking white people as a whole and got upset.

She further misunderstood the point of the thread (what would a hypothetical safe space look like) and said all voices should be heard. She also mentioned I should just block people that I find threatening.

Lora Dayton then clarified to Ditzy that I wasn't attacking white people as a whole and what the purpose of this thread is. And the matter was dropped.

That's all this was. A case of misunderstanding and getting upset due to the misunderstanding. No one thought that Ditzy was unsafe to be around.

Anyone else cant burp?

Brodop:
this is so oddly specific and personally im not really into burping at all, but i figured this would be the place to ask: can anyone else just not burp? i can chug a liter of coke, do a handstand and jump on a trampoline or eat mentos and for the life of me, i just cant burp. never have, and at this point i doubt i ever will. must be my innate superpowers or something.


This is a medical condition, actually. And a pretty newly discovered one at that.

Came out to wife, advice?

CuppaJoe:
I agree with Animus - congratulations on making the decision to potentially risk rejection and to share something deeply personal in your relationship.

How many times do you see the advice (even in these forums!) to talk with your partner and openly and lovingly communicate about your emotional and sexual needs and desires? (Heck, I feel like Munchies must have a copy/paste file at this point - lol)

Part of communication is active listening and ensuring that you are sensitive to your partners needs and desires as well. As with anything new, start slowly and check frequently with your partner- explain that you are so excited that they are trying something that you love, and that you want to ensure that they are also okay...

My first few times feeding someone new to feederism were not to max stuff to the point of discomfort, but simply to introduce some fun decadent treats into the bedroom. Cake, brownies, ice cream, eclairs, donuts - these are all pretty great starters that you can start/stop depending on how your partner is doing. Let him/her/them dictate to you how far to go, and provide a LOT of verbal and physical feedback to let him/her/them know how much YOU are enjoying what they are doing.

Good luck!


Believe it or not, I don't copy paste my advice.

Gaining with a physically demanding job

Credomiles:
Hey I think I've seen stuff about this before and the general answer was "just change jobs", but any tips on gaining, while wanting to stay active?

I'm planning on working field research jobs that would require hiking rough terrain for miles a day. I also really enjoy outdoor hobbies and would like to get involved with sports like rock climbing and mountain biking. Unfortunately, these things don't really mesh well with being bigger bodied. It seems any weight I gain disappears quickly when I start hiking again during the summer.

Simple solution would be to eat more do less, but food is expensive, and it's difficult for me to eat even a little more calories than normal, especially without my roomate noticing. Anyone dealt with this problem or have some ideas? Or is this just a matter of me accepting I can't live out a chubby fantasy while also living my life doing things I enjoy?


It's possible, but you'd be looking at a muscular chubby build. Basically, you would need to go on a bulk, but don't cut.
