    Helping a parner lose weight?

    See, this is what I'm talking about it. The notion of just how simple this all is. Why a basic nutrition course said it. Its just math! Except, the human body doesn't work like that. Not every human body, anyway. Fat bigotry is justified by people who believe exactly what you suggested. That...

    Helping a parner lose weight?

    Which is an utterly useless attitude. I'm sick of tired of this being trotted out as a definitive statement when it posits a world which DOES NOT EXIST. Weight loss is not achievable in a safe or reliable manner. Ever single person who wants to lose weight tells themselves that THEY are doing...

    Closeted FA/FFA admirers?

    Okay, now you're talking about something completely different. First, you suggested evidence of shame of FAs would be a fat person not advertising their partner's sexual attraction to them, but thats not something anyone does so I fail to see why it would be expected of fat people. Lying...

    Closeted FA/FFA admirers?

    Like I said before, your standards for what you call "closeted" are MUCH more strict than is generally used for FA's, so I'm not sure its really fair at all to explain such behavior on fat people being ashamed of their admirers. I think you are drawing that conclusion with a considerable lack of...

    Closeted FA/FFA admirers?

    Lying about where you meet would be a VERY different issue when dealing with the kinds of places fat people tend to meet FAs as there is a lot of lingering social shame over such meetings. I don't agree with it, but it is WAY different than being ashamed that your partner finds you sexually...

    Helping a parner lose weight?

    I am, as usual, so pleased to see so many FA's thinking with the libido first and foremost. And that goes double for the FA's saying they WOULD help a partner lose weight. Because you're only looking at this through the spectrum of your physical desires, you think the only possible objection...

    I hate the term FA

    People are always going to judge us negatively for who we are. I can't burden myself with their judgments, though. One way we can work towards change, though, is by pushing back at their definitions of us as inferior. We can't do that without working to claim our identity, though. I don't think...

    I hate the term FA

    Lots of ways to make a good point. Our sexuality gets treated often as a fetish, but the basis for that is absurd. What is expected of men is a range of maybe 30lbs. I'm attracted to a range of over 300lbs. Why should I feel defensive about charges I'm limiting myself? The basis for...

    My FA husband...

    You should both seriously think about a divorce. That's the hard truth. I have little sympathy for your husband. He knew what he wanted but didn't articulate it to you, so he's got no one to blame for this. He wanted a relationship with someone who was fat and had a healthy relationship with...

    I hate the term FA

    I didn't say anything about FA's being rare. Just that its not as common as being a thin admirer. No matter how prevalent fat admiration is, it would wrong to think that our sexual identity isn't very much marginalized in our culture. One way we can change that is by self-identifying. But...

    I hate the term FA

    There is a slogan in the gay rights movement, “Being straight isn't normal, it's just common.” I'd offer it applies to us, as well. Being an FA is perfectly normal, but it is not especially common. THAT is why it is useful for us to self-identify on that point of difference. Its not about...

    FAs! Is weight gain arousing to you?

    I voted no mostly because I thought the question was asked in an unfair manner to prejudice the results. So "no" was more a protest than an actual reaction to the overly broad terms suggested. I mean, would be attracted to someone who had gained weight? Of course. But I don't think its fair to...

    I hate the term FA

    I wouldn't. It sounds like someone is trying very hard to seem more tasteful than "FA", but the term really just reveals they are all about artiface and not even on an especially deep level since BBW itself is an essentially meaningless term, making BBWA doubly so. I've no problem with "FA"...

    What being an FA made me into

    Being an FA didn't make me fat. It gave me the tools to accept my body when I did get fat, though, and for that I am so grateful.

    Dating a Thin Girl?

    You act like these are trade offs that are regularly being made in favor of physical attraction. That's not what FA's are doing. You're just trying to make yourself feel like a better person by creating these "choices". What you fail to understand is that most FA's never have to sacrifice...

    Dating a Thin Girl?

    What I have to say is nothing about men who genuinely are attracted to a variety of sizes or genuinely aren't interested in physical attraction. The point is we should accept what attracts us no matter what it is. We do no one any favors by trying to base a relationship with fences around...

    Dating a Thin Girl?

    Its not remotely shallow to want to be with a partner you are fully attracted to. Really, that's just respectful to your partners. While its clear some "FA's" love to pat themselves on the back for choosing "personality", what they are doing is dating someone in spite of themselves. That's not...

    Coming Out: Experiences, Stories and Advice Thread

    As an FA, I have to say: DARN STRAIGHT. I think to some degree I'm seeing a fundamental confusion about what being "out" means. Being out doesn't have to mean being an activist. There are openly gay men and women who do not "flaunt" their sexuality. It is simply a part of who they are. Now...

    My New Favorite Spot On A Women

    No one is demanding anyone engage in sexual activity they don't care for. The issue is the explanation which veers uncomfortably into vagina shaming. Having had the privilige of smelling a range of vaginas in my day, I don't think a universal condemnation is remotely warranted. The smell is...
