Confidence has to come within.. and as much as im loving the fact the OP and others have got confidence from this site.. it wouldnt be my ideal place to claim it as a lot of men will give false flattery if it think it will get them somewhere. xx

That is very true but false flattery beats negative flattery every time. Xxx

I've still got no body confidence. Never have done. I too had an ex that was forever telling me how bad I looked and how I needed to lose weight. I just can't get my head round it!! Good on you op though!!  |

It's taken me over 3 yrs to lose 10 stone in weight, had zero confidence in myself back then and wouldn't dare take a selfie let alone a more
naughtier pic.
Shed the weight and my confidence just boosted then came the positive compliments from people I love this 'new found me' and intend on keeping it that way  |

I have to agree OP. I used to hate being in a swimsuit and now I don't mind being naked. I don't have a great body but I think it has nice bits and I just focus on the enjoyment my body can give me. I love to give pleasure too!  |

Once you have photos up, who's to say the flattery is false? We all find different things attractive. It's just easy for a lot of people to not believe compliments, and maybe we should, regardless of the motivation.
This site has made me more confident in some ways. Not in others. That's my issue, not the site though. Overall I would say it's made me more confident.

Wow!!! I really admire you for your weight loss. I have a similar amount to lose. Can't seem to get my head in the right place. A truly amazing thing to have achieved!  |

Yes. Small steps... But they eventually develop into giant leaps. |

If you get messages n fabs don't see them a negatives see them as positives. Your pics caught thier eye for what ever reason. Who cares if you ain't intrested in them. They are intrested in you or they wouldn't message or fab. Xxx |

I have no body confidence either, stems from my mum constantly putting herself down when I was younger so just never had that female role model to say you look great. Jon tells me all the time how beautiful he thinks I am.... Depends what mood I am in whether I believe him!!! Ha!!! Fab is great though for building confidence in you, end of day beauty is more than skin

He sounds like a charmer who deserves a slap!
It's a sad fact that theres not enough time in a lifetime to apologise for the crass, rude, and downright cruel things so called men say to some people. |

Personally I try & take all of Fabs with a pinch of salt as it can make you feel really good on one hand & then take it away with the other.
Great to hear that people are gaining body confidence, long may it continue  |

You think women are incapable of verbal abuse?
Or are you just white knighting? |

I would say my confidence has gone up loads since I've joined fab and been to clubs. Not just body wise, but also talking to people as I used to be shy as hell! |

When I was here under a singles profile, it was the most liberating time of my adult life, as a larger lady I have never felt confident in my own skin and I would never dream of taking the kind of photos I used to take. Obviously to outsiders I would never dream of showing those photos off as I still wouldn't feel comfortable but on here I could.
In the outside world I would still cover up when I was with my friends, I may have felt sexy with myself but to blokes in the pub I was still the fat bird but here it was a different story and it's not just because every man is desperate for a shag, I guess it's a bigger platform and here men who contacted me (not all of them, some were clear it was just because I had a Fanny and didn't care what I looked like) but most actually fancied me and that was a welcome change that men could admit what they liked and not be ridiculed by their peers.

I'm just commenting on the OPs post. No more, no less. I am fully aware just how bitchy and abusive the fair sex can be. |

We may be at opposite ends of a spectrum OP but our sentiment is the same.... if nothing else fab has given me the confidence to expose myself and in doing so; feel comfortable in my own skin.

I've never had a body confidence problem. I've been very underweight and very overweight and never shied away from getting naked. I'm quick to whip off my clothes and get my flesh next to the man's I'm seducing.  |

Flattery does fuck all for me. I feel good when I undress and a man pulls me close to squash my boobs together,snuggle his face in them and let out a long mmmmmm. |
