Actually maybe it’s because the majority of the population is overweight so it’s all about appealing to your maximum market?  | |||

"I dunno, but hey, let’s start a whole new thread about it! I’m sure this isn’t going to be in the slightest antagonistic!
Actually maybe it’s because the majority of the population is overweight so it’s all about appealing to your maximum market? "You have hit the nail on the head. I think it's trying to appeal to the mass market. It does seem obvious that is the aim for some of them | |||

"Well when ever a thread is posted about gym women or slim women the old favs come out "dog a bone" "real women" etc etc How easy do people react on here? I wasn't rude in my original post. Just a question " I'm the first to have a pop at the people who make those derogatory comments. You've basically said that anyone who's not the same body size as you isn't normal...how's that not rude? | |||

"What's the fetish on this site for fat threads? What about normal sized people? " You mean average. There has been average threads. Start another one and see how it goes.  | |||

There was a slim person thread started in the same vein as the bbw chat ones but not enough people were interested in chatting on there it seems. | |||

To my knowledge there have not been any feeder threads or encouraging people to get fatter. | |||

"What's the fetish on this site for fat threads? What about normal sized people? " Can't say I've seen that many to be honest. Are you talking dress sizes, obesity or what? I think there's room for everyone here, we're all human beings after all. I can be attracted to a variety of shapes and sizes because I find it has no bearing on personality or sexiness. Perhaps you ought to try meeting people who don't look the same as you? You might find you've been missing out!! | |||

"Wording is a little off there.... What the fuck is normal?! Lol I think ALL shapes and sizes should be celebrated!
Normal is healthy size surely? Not obese, not under weight. "Not always, no. I know plenty of bigger and slimmer people who are extremely fit, work out regularly and have altogether good health. And plenty of let's say average sized or slim people who are very unhealthy. Size isn't an indication of health. | |||

"What's the fetish on this site for fat threads? What about normal sized people? " I'm not going to jump onto the use of the phrase "fat" like others, I'm just going to answer your question. People on the forums choose to discuss whatever interests them. If you have noticed a proliferation of threads relating to people of larger build that is because those talking have a preference for larger people. Note I say preference not fetish. It is no different to someone who fancies people with blond hair. I don't like the snog, fuck or avoid threads so I just skip over them because they don't interest me - I suggest you do the same with the "fat" threads. | |||

If people choose to be overweight that's a matter for them, just as smoking sixty a day or eating every night at Macdonalds is. None are things to be celebrated or encouraged I would have thought. | |||

I wouldn't let them think that i think its something to be proud of.
Well, as we know, we're very different people. I don't believe anyone should be made to feel bad based on their appearance. And if we're gonna say it's from a health perspective, my health is no one's business but mine.
Also...I'm very proud of my body, whether it's fat or thin
Tell that to the health care staff that have to move the overweight people around the hospital. Or the extra money having to be wasted in hospitals on upgrading the strength of all the beds and chairs, lifting slings etc etc. Then it becomes everyone's business. "this is very true actually , as an health care professional myself i can confirm that bariatric equipment is very expensive but needed to protect us nurse from injury when trying to move and handle very over weight people | |||

I think it's really shitty to make someone feel bad based on any aspect of their appearance. I entirely agree that no one should be made to feel bad about how they look. However, the difficulty is when beig over weight is "celebrated" and seen as a good thing. Isn't an analogy with someone who, say, lost their legs in an accident. No one would make them feel bad about that, but equally no one would suggest that having no legs is a good thing. Why shouldn't fat people be celebrated?! Why shouldn't think people be? Everyone is different and we all like different things! Being significantly overweight is unhealthy. I start from the premise that it's not good to celebrate things that are unhealthy. If people choose to be overweight that's a matter for them, just as smoking sixty a day or eating every night at Macdonalds is. None are things to be celebrated or encouraged I would have thought. Again...missing my point...
What's your point? "That no one should be made to feel bad based on their appearance, fat or thin, or any other aspect of it. Everyone is different and I for one think that's a good thing. Health issues can be addressed by doctors, family or friends of needs be. | |||

You can say that about absolutely anyone who doesn't live a totally healthy lifestyle...smokers, drinkers, anyone who does anything that might land them in hospital one day.

"What's the fetish on this site for fat threads? What about normal sized people? " The average size of women now in the uk (ie normal and i hate that word) is size 16. The fashion world says anyone 14 to 16 and up would be a bbw So in response there are alot of groups aimed at the fuller figure because people like them. | |||

Tell that to the health care staff that have to move the overweight people around the hospital. Or the extra money having to be wasted in hospitals on upgrading the strength of all the beds and chairs, lifting slings etc etc. Then it becomes everyone's business.
You can say that about absolutely anyone who doesn't live a totally healthy lifestyle...smokers, drinkers, anyone who does anything that might land them in hospital one day.
I'm not suggesting we applaud people for being fat. I'm saying we shouldn't shame people based on their appearance.
You're taking extremes too...most fat people don't need a reinforced bed, do they?!
Yeah....and 2 members of staff xx2 staff ? more like 8 for some of them "You're taking morbidly obese. I'm about 4 and a half stone over my ideal weight. People keep saying I don't look fat, but I am, so those comments people make include me. Not that they make a difference to me, what other people say about my body. | |||

"It’s good to be inclusive to make people feel sexy and wanted. I think this is one of Fabs positive aspects. But is it healthy to encourage it when it’s around something destructive and unhealthy like being obese? Akin to having a fetish to body mutilation? Just a thought for discussion a bit of sitting on the fence devils advocacy. Why do you need do encourage or discourage? Why can't people let people be and live however they are or want to be? I think it's really shitty to make someone feel bad based on any aspect of their appearance. I entirely agree that no one should be made to feel bad about how they look. However, the difficulty is when beig over weight is "celebrated" and seen as a good thing. Isn't an analogy with someone who, say, lost their legs in an accident. No one would make them feel bad about that, but equally no one would suggest that having no legs is a good thing. Why shouldn't fat people be celebrated?! Why shouldn't think people be? Everyone is different and we all like different things! Being significantly overweight is unhealthy. I start from the premise that it's not good to celebrate things that are unhealthy. If people choose to be overweight that's a matter for them, just as smoking sixty a day or eating every night at Macdonalds is. None are things to be celebrated or encouraged I would have thought.

What's your point?
That no one should be made to feel bad based on their appearance, fat or thin, or any other aspect of it. Everyone is different and I for one think that's a good thing. Health issues can be addressed by doctors, family or friends of needs be.
I've agreed with that. My point is that being overweight should not be celebrated or promoted.
We shouldn't have a go at fat people for being fat, but neither should we say that being fat is brilliant.
I'm not saying we should...I'm saying all people should be celebrated regardless of their body shape or size.
But we celebrate them for good things about them, not the bad things. As someone said above, we celebrate Churchill for his talents as a war leader, not for his fatness. Ditto with other fat people.

They aren't. They are saying it doesn't make them want to vomit or call someone names. They aren't bothered by someone's appearance, even though they know of the health risks.
My ex calling me a fat doughnut-eating cunt, when I put on 9 stone, did not make me want to go on a diet. I met a lovely man I wanted to be more agile in bed with and made an effort. I felt good about myself, after years of abuse, and my mind was in the right place to do something about it. "I entirely agree. Insulting an overweight person is unlikely to encourage them to lose weight. But, you do get threads on here where men (usually) will help positively celebrate fatness. Basically because they think it's a quick route to a fuck. | |||

"We an they are not fat it's called bbw an BBM not fat Fat is a horrid word No its not.... Fat cunt is horrid, fat is just a description. "
You beat me to it. Any word can be used in a negative sense. It's all about the intention.
Getting back to the original point of the thread, I really don't see what all the fuss is about...
This place is full of threads about loving big tits/small tits, hairy pussy/ shaved pussy, bald men/hairy men, tattoos/no tattoos.
I only tick a few of those boxes and really couldn't give a f##k that I'm not everyone's cup of tea. | |||

It is. It's not a perfect indicator. To deny the correlation between weight and diabetes is counter factual. "So weight lifters who are "overweight"....not healthy. Fat people who work out several times a week and eat well...not healthy. And a "normal" sized person who doesnt work out and eats shit all the live long day....totally healthy.

The right food, in the right quantities. Plus exercise. You can't just say to someone put less food in your mouth. That is useless advice that I'm sure they can work out for themselves.
I'm not so sure. "I'm sure. What if I put 4 bars of chocolate in my mouth every day plus 1 bag of chips. That's only 5 items but a lot of calories. 1 big Mac meal is almost a daily amount of calories for a woman, I think. One meal, all the calories for the day. | |||

I've agreed with that. My point is that being overweight should not be celebrated or promoted.
We shouldn't have a go at fat people for being fat, but neither should we say that being fat is brilliant.
I'm not saying we should...I'm saying all people should be celebrated regardless of their body shape or size.
But we celebrate them for good things about them, not the bad things. As someone said above, we celebrate Churchill for his talents as a war leader, not for his fatness. Ditto with other fat people.
Size is not an indication of health. We will have to agree to disagree I think.
I am going to put you on the spot here. If I could wave a magic wand and make you significantly less fat, would you want that or would you tell me you preferred to stay as you are. "Significantly? No...I'm currently a size 18/20...I'd like to get back to my normal size of 16/18 (my current medical treatment has made me gain weight). I don't wish to be any smaller than that. I've been every size from an 8 to a 26 and that is how I feel at my best. I work out hard 3/4 times a week and walk for at least 30 mins every day and I eat, for the most part, healthily. I've no desire to be slim again. | |||

It is. It's not a perfect indicator. To deny the correlation between weight and diabetes is counter factual.
So weight lifters who are "overweight"....not healthy.
Fat people who work out several times a week and eat well...not healthy.
And a "normal" sized person who doesnt work out and eats shit all the live long day....totally healthy.
That makes perfect sense... "Yes because those people are a small percentage so the correlation is not effected. They are easily accounted for when you consider body fat percentage. To deny that excess body fat is linked to a variety of health problems is counter factual. | |||

They aren't. They are saying it doesn't make them want to vomit or call someone names. They aren't bothered by someone's appearance, even though they know of the health risks.
My ex calling me a fat doughnut-eating cunt, when I put on 9 stone, did not make me want to go on a diet. I met a lovely man I wanted to be more agile in bed with and made an effort. I felt good about myself, after years of abuse, and my mind was in the right place to do something about it.
I entirely agree. Insulting an overweight person is unlikely to encourage them to lose weight.
But, you do get threads on here where men (usually) will help positively celebrate fatness. Basically because they think it's a quick route to a fuck. "No different to complimenting a hot wife: his balls are not going to empty themselves. Same bloke will post on threads about leaving if found girlfriend as no way would he pass her around like party favours. | |||

"OP you’re gorgeous, I’m sure my fat ass is no competition so I wouldn’t worry. And we’re not a fetish, were people. In relation to other replies about food in vs food out beleive it or not it isn’t always that simple. I have a disease that causes weight gain and so do the steroid medications to treat it. I’ll have the disease for life and will take the meds for life unless they come up with something better, like a cure. But in the meantime I eat no more than 20g of net carbs a day, can’t remember the last time I ate bread ect, lean meats, veggies. Plenty of gym time with a trainer. Very Keto diet and have eaten this way for about 6 months. I lose about 1lb a week, some weeks I lose nothing and people doing the same thing as me lose a hell of a lot more. So it’s not always so black and white. Your slimmer figure is celebrated daily in the media, on our televisions and in magazines ect, your body type is already the favourite kind, so what’s the big deal in letting the bigger ladies have a little praise on here?

"What gets me is the whole attitude of eat less and you will lose weight on here! As anyone thought that some might just have phsyicalogic conditions? Try telling a anorexic person to just eat more food! It's far more complex then enter at more or email at less for many people...but as always the same judgemental people hijack threads like these..heaven help us all "I agree. I know from personal experience that eating can be mixed up with all sorts of psychological issues. That still doesn't make being fat a good thing. | |||

Absolutely. But i don't think that psychological issues in the main account for the numbers of overweight people in society. "I'd say psychological issues are a very small part of it. A lot of it simply people don't want to lose weight so they eat what they want, which is fine. Part of it is lack of education on food groups/healthy food etc, there's the financial aspect as well. There are over weight people who binge and eat a lot but that doesn't mean every single over weight person does | |||

Didn't you tell them how gross they were? And how they're costing the NHS millions?! No... I think that only happens on the internet. I doubt if people do that face to face. However I have to admit that I might look at a really overweight person and think I don't want to be that big again ( I was fatter because I ate too much and also ate the wrong things but have now admitted it to myself be able to lose weight and keep it off ) but I would never question why anyone else is fat. It could be their choice and it is none of my business " I think you're right! | |||

"I think there are many beautiful people on this site, whether fat thin or medium, but when people are falling over themselves to compliment the more voluptuous figure they make comments like Who wants to cuddle a stick And sadly it seems socially acceptable to do that. No matter your body size, if you show respect to others then you deserve respect back. Kind regards Stick cuddler x" You'll find it's usually men trying to ingratiate themselves making those comments. Just like "straight" men raving over ts/tvs with "you're more feminine than real women". Some people will say anything to get laid. | |||

"So when the bareback threads come out we are repeatedly told dont post if you are not interested, no one is interested in your safe sex high horse opinion, they can choose their own level of risk , in this day and age there is medication if they were to contract something But when the fat threads are posted... the moderate sized people get onto their high horse and tell people it must not be encouraged, something must be done to improve health risk etc ... its all just for your own good and the good of the nhs Do i have that right?

"It’s good to be inclusive to make people feel sexy and wanted. I think this is one of Fabs positive aspects. But is it healthy to encourage it when it’s around something destructive and unhealthy like being obese? Akin to having a fetish to body mutilation? Just a thought for discussion a bit of sitting on the fence devils advocacy. Why do you need do encourage or discourage? Why can't people let people be and live however they are or want to be? I think it's really shitty to make someone feel bad based on any aspect of their appearance. I entirely agree that no one should be made to feel bad about how they look. However, the difficulty is when beig over weight is "celebrated" and seen as a good thing. Isn't an analogy with someone who, say, lost their legs in an accident. No one would make them feel bad about that, but equally no one would suggest that having no legs is a good thing. Why shouldn't fat people be celebrated?! Why shouldn't think people be? Everyone is different and we all like different things! Being significantly overweight is unhealthy. I start from the premise that it's not good to celebrate things that are unhealthy. If people choose to be overweight that's a matter for them, just as smoking sixty a day or eating every night at Macdonalds is. None are things to be celebrated or encouraged I would have thought. Again...missing my point...
What's your point?
That no one should be made to feel bad based on their appearance, fat or thin, or any other aspect of it. Everyone is different and I for one think that's a good thing. Health issues can be addressed by doctors, family or friends of needs be.
I've agreed with that. My point is that being overweight should not be celebrated or promoted.
We shouldn't have a go at fat people for being fat, but neither should we say that being fat is brilliant.
I'm not saying we should...I'm saying all people should be celebrated regardless of their body shape or size.
But we celebrate them for good things about them, not the bad things. As someone said above, we celebrate Churchill for his talents as a war leader, not for his fatness. Ditto with other fat people.
Size is not an indication of health. We will have to agree to disagree I think.
It is. It's not a perfect indicator. To deny the correlation between weight and diabetes is counter factual.
So weight lifters who are "overweight"....not healthy.
Fat people who work out several times a week and eat well...not healthy.
And a "normal" sized person who doesnt work out and eats shit all the live long day....totally healthy.
That makes perfect sense...
Yes because those people are a small percentage so the correlation is not effected. They are easily accounted for when you consider body fat percentage. To deny that excess body fat is linked to a variety of health problems is counter factual.
I'm talking from a personal point of view...other people's health problems aren't my business.
I'm simply pointing out that you can't tell how healthy a person is by looking at them. So what right does anyone have to me derogatory about someone because they're concerned about their health?
People aren't nasty to fat/skinny people because they're concerned for their health. They're nasturtium because they don't find them attractive and usually have nothing better to do. It's needless and cruel."I'm not advocating being nasty to people. Just don't say things that aren't true. You said size is not an indicator of health. It is. It's an indicator, not a perfect one but reasonably good. | |||
