Question How to introduce someone new to the size-accepting culture?

Hello everyone, my name is Derek and although I am relatively new to Dimensions, I have been lurking around for a while, following the forums and learning and laughing much. I must say, it's thrilling to finally get myself out there and contributing to these discussions!

Currently, I have a pressing matter at hand- there is a BBW that I am highly interested in, who is unfortunately oblivious to size acceptance culture, and I have absolutely no idea how to introduce her to it without scaring her!

Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance

If it was me I would introduce it to her indirectly. It was a gradual progression for me. If someone had pushed it at me I would have closed down. You could mention seeing a magazine or reading an article or whatever but just be very aware of her needs and level of comfort.

Leave a Business Card with the handwritten url of Dimension Forums

Just an idea
And good luck

Thanks again for the advice goodthings, that helps . I'll definitely make sure not to thrust it in her face all at once.

And thank you too Blockierer . I had considered showing her Dimensions before, but I thought it might be a bit too big of a step. I think I'll have to combine your and goodthings' ideas though, they're both great.

Girls are good at picking up hints soooo a little hint here or there should be all you need.
You sound very sweet she's a lucky girl.

Does she accept herself as a BBW? I know you love it.
I would think if she is OK with herself now you could do well dropping hints.

Just look her in the eyes, take her by the hands and then whisper sweet nothings in her ear.

"You are beautiful"

"I think I'm falling in love with you"

"My anaconda don't want know unless she's got buns, Hun"

"I wanna stick it in you"

Yes, in fact, she does. She wouldn't lose weight unless it were for her own aesthetic/comfort/health reasons.

I tried to respond to this once lol....when my FA (who is my bf) introduced me to the idea, he had started by telling me he didn't like the skinny girls in hollywood and how he liked curves and a womans body instead of a kids lol....and when I would comment about my weight he would tell me how pretty I am ....then he would introduce me to pic of girls he thought were pretty (and the pics would show bigger girls as time progressed) which made me feel beautiful....let her know you like her but also you are attracted to her for "all" of her...go slow but introduce her to sites like this as it goes

I really don't know but I want to say it's SO sweet of you to think of introducing her to it. If a guy introduced me to this culture then I would have been MUCH more willing to accept the fact that he was interested in me sincerely.

Best wishes with this girl... I hope it works out for ya!

buy a copy of BODacious magazine and leave it lying around.

When she sees that is your taste in adult material, she will for sure know you are an FA.
