Here's what I think about all of this:

There are obviously people here who just wanna be about the fantasy, and don't wanna be bothered knowing about who we are and how we live, us fat folk. Drag, but so it goes.

But for people who genuinely want fat partners? I think it would be a great idea to chase the stereotypes out of your heads and learn some things about us. Some of us eat a lot, some of us don't. Some of us are active, some of us aren't. Some of us enjoy being fat, some of us don't. Some of us like gaining, some of us don't. Etc.

No matter how much you think you can tell something from looking at us, I promise you you can't. We're varied, just like any other group. And thank the gods and goddesses for that

To all the pro-diet posters:

Please note, you all appear to be thin and not to have much experience with living in a fat body. I would ask you to consider believing fat people, not all of whom are self-indulgent liars.

And TubbyBoy, please accept this large bouquet of lilies and orchids for being one of the smartest and most articulate posters around. I love you

Hmmmm, I think Max is being a bit overly grim.

As for me, it's not about a particular body, starting or ending, but about the indulgence and expansion. FWIW.
