Yeah, I'm gonna be moving this to the Submission/Domination board.

To the OP: I hope this is just a fantasy of yours.

No. Body Mass Index, or BMI is a number that doesn't really hold much significance, other than a higher number means you're pretty much heavier.

While rare, a bodybuilder/hardcore gym rat/linebacker/etc. could have an "obese" BMI of 30+ but is probably more fit than most of us.

It doesn't take into account anything like muscle mass, body fat percentage, sex (women in general are always higher), age (tends to rise somewhat with age), bone structure (big boned is actually a thing, but won't explain 100 lbs of difference), or even pregnancy status.

Nevertheless, it's a fun number in the feederism community because surpassing various milestones means you have reached certain goals. 30+ is probably the point where most folks start to look a little heavy, that maybe they aren't exactly thin anymore.

I'll cast the vote/opinion in favor of underwear.

When I sit down, I actually do feel my gut on top of my thighs, and it's slightly less comfortable if I don't have the underwear that's in between.

Chub rub is also quite real, and certain types of underwear definitely help with that. Also of course, the possible risk of various bodily fluids being more likely to soak into the regular clothes if there is no underwear, despite one's best efforts. That's probably at least 99%+ of the reason behind underwear in the first place.

It's certainly nice to sometimes sleep without wearing underwear, however.

38 is middle age? Say it ain't so!

I too have noticed that, especially with the growth (no pun intended) of feederism communities online having much younger members.

I suspect that's because broadband (high speed) 24/7 Internet became mainstream a little over 20 years ago, along with the "smartphone," a term that didn't really enter the American consciousness until '07, when the original iPhone was released. I had a smartphone well before then, but it was actually a combo PalmPilot with a mobile phone built-in. Also because in the 90s, Dimensions was pretty much the only game in town. Anyway! I digress.

It's certainly more difficult, I think. It can be harder to figure out when to eat and to get enough calories in. I think that's more because of life responsibilities like full-time jobs, perhaps family responsibilities, and whatever else you may have going on. But it's certainly possible.

I find my body doesn't really agree with HFCS (a truly vile ingredient) so I minimize consumption of it, which basically means no soda in the U.S. Not that's the worst possible thing - too much of it makes me sleepy, and soda also seems to cause water retention and bloating, and even decreases my appetite. Also not the worst thing since HFCS is a major, perhaps even the #1 contributor to diabetes, which is why many countries have banned it.

One thing you have though... if your profile is correct, you're already 264 lbs, which is already pretty chunky. This probably means it wouldn't seem that weird if you end up gaining even more, and you might already have a pretty good appetite already so perhaps it wouldn't be that hard to eat a bit more to gain.

The main thing I think is to not just eat junk food all the time like that hyper processed packaged stuff. There's plenty of "real food" that's high in calories. Even a burger typically has vegetables on it, and those toppings are unlikely to impact your appetite much. You can also have salad that's drowning in creamy Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and optional bacon bits.

Another thing to maybe try to watch out for is sodium (often from salt and seasonings). While you do need to have some, odds are you'll probably have way more than enough.

So to recap:

- Some junk food should be okay but it shouldn't be the primary staple of your diet. You'd regret it if you do.
- Minimize HFCS consumption to almost nothing.
- Don't have to avoid vegetables and should probably have some.
- It can be really easy to go way overboard on the sodium so try not to do that. Some canned goods can have a lot of it.

A multivitamin pill or some sort of nutritional shake like Ensure Plus, Equate Plus (Wal-Mart knockoff of Ensure Plus), Fortify Plus (Kroger knockoff), or Boost may be worth doing too.

Let's hope we can keep this thread on topic.

To answer the original question, no it's certainly not weird. That's one of the big reasons why FF is even here.

No, can't say that I do. Already, I pluck out the stray white hair, here and there. I fear this means I will have to start using hair dye, eventually.

I'm not happy about frown lines.

I expect to start using Botox if that's what it takes. The world, but especially the working world, is not kind to anyone who looks too old.

I'm kind of curious what Cher and Demi Moore have done.

I wouldn't read into it too much if I were you.

Sometimes, I'm motivated to look at a profile simply because that person looked at mine.

Sometimes, I'm looking for something suspicious or following up on a report (not applicable in your case).

Sometimes, even just posting a thread can garner views.

Sometimes, some might even be curious about your pictures as kind of a guideline for what they themselves might look like eventually.

One thing for sure that I can say, is that initial physical attraction is NOT a requirement for me, and probably for most others for that matter, to look at a profile.

I get views from all sorts, even a lot of men, even mostly straight men, sometimes not even the same country. 99%+ of the time, it probably doesn't mean anything.

Sometimes I wonder if my avatar on here is slightly misleading, but I've never had anyone complain about it. It might even be because of being featured on the featured profiles page, or the mod/"meet the team" page.
