    "The Myth Of The Chubby Chaser"

    I don't think it's about the term, though. I think it's about the fact there is a term. In other words, we have no term for someone who is mostly attracted to people who are generally considered thin. We only have a term for someone who is attracted to people who are generally considered fat...

    Fat Acceptance vs F/FA Acceptance movements

    I really hope people read this. When people deny their part in the problem, they allow the problem to go on. The people best positioned to solve the problem are those who are both aware of the problem and part of the community with the problem. As it were, that turns the responsibility on...

    Fat Acceptance vs F/FA Acceptance movements

    I am not saying that what you describe is not true, but you deleted words in my sentence to "prove" your point, and am sorry to say I don't like that. "It can sometimes be hard to trust the intentions of people who are attracted to larger people, as much as I hate to type that." Please note...

    Fat Acceptance vs F/FA Acceptance movements

    I think a lot of the schism comes from the fact that it can sometimes be hard to trust the intentions of people who are attracted to larger people, as much as I hate to type that. I see, from time-to-time, people who really support size acceptance...but seem to support it because they're...

    FAs again getting a bad rap in the media

    Agreed. When you are to marry someone, do you really expect that person to look the same way forever? Do you expect yourself? That's the power of that kind of commitment: it's not just for one point-in-time. To want anything else is unwise and hinders your appreciation of life as a real...

    Excellent Body Positive Song!

    I see both sides, and am not personally a fan. However, if it has some positive impact for someone in this category, then I'm glad it did. It's kind of like "Born This Way" for me. You look at it critically, and the concept of people being "born this way" has flaws. It implies that if people...

    Fat Professionals

    Well, firstly, congratulations to her on all these promotions. I've seen what I suspected to be weight-based discrimination before. I don't deny it exists and will never tell anyone that their grievances are wrong. So, please don't take it that way. I think it's really sad that this...

    Shame

    Agreed, and this is where I wonder if it is actually those who talk about it most who are less comfortable, rather than those who don't share it. I'm in the situation where if people notice and ask, I will answer them honestly. I don't volunteer it, but I don't try to hide it. That said...

    Seeking FA Dating Advice

    Two things in your favor: 1) He's open that he's an FA 2) You're trying to understand it Do you know how great that is? Imagine the relationships where a guy isn't open about his preferences, or one where he is and his partner just steps back in shock/disgust/horror/confusion. So...

    Hey thin/athletic folks...

    I would understand the perspective of finding it desirable for someone to gain weight even if I declined because, while I've never been in a situation where gaining had a role, I certainly would've been interested in that. Not that understanding is a yes. I guess it depends on the...

    Can someone explain online dating to me?

    One thing that makes online dating tough versus meeting someone in-person is that there's no connection or chemistry when you read a profile; you have to make that happen. That's probably a bad way to word it. What I mean is that, online, all you get is 1) shared interests and 2) physical...

    Wht do I hafta explain myself???

    It is so bizarre how we have had our whole lives to figure out that different people like different things for different reasons, and we still can't deal with that. When I see difference, I am curious to explore it, to learn perspectives. Others are just keen to judge, and that's a shame...

    Is it harder to come out as an FA or an FFA?

    Yeah. I suspect that's part of it: it is individually difficult depending on how hard you make it for yourself. There is some peace of mind that comes with making sure that everyone knows, though, so I wouldn't go as far as to write "coming out" off totally. Individual circumstances make...

    First!

    I'm 19. There are other people in the age group here, but they don't seem to come into this section as much as other ones.

    What first got you into bigger women?

    It just happened. I was 6. The girl who sat across from me in class was my first crush. She happened to be very large, and most subsequent crushes were that way. I guess I realized around 14 that this was more than just "how odd, all the cute girls are also big."

    FA Myhts Thread #17

    It really just highlights the lengths that people will go to avoid viewpoints different from their own. They let their ideas shape their experiences, rather than letting their experiences shape their ideas. A similar myth is the "hiding homosexuality" one and it's just as off-base. Physical...

    How fat do you like 'em?

    Speaking in terms of purely physical attraction, you can't even answer this question. Two women who are the same height and same weight can be beautiful in completely different ways. That's something I've always appreciated. Romantic attraction is definitely not something I'd quantify in...

    FA Guilt

    I don't want the girls who I prefer to feel guilty about their size, and therefore, I do not feel guilty about appreciating their size as a part of the whole of my attraction. Appearance-wise, I'm no idealized man, I'm tall and thin, not much muscle mass at all, and I don't have very masculine...

    FA isnt it about time we changed it

    I use it on this forum for clarity. I don't use it outside the boards, and quite honestly, I wouldn't use any other acronym or name outside the boards. We're all more than labels, but in the context of discussing broad topics that apply to many of us, it's convenient to have FA to use for...

    FA Myths Thread #14

    Exactly that. I hope the real FA myth here is that FAs think about women in terms of how much larger she might become. It's no different than dating a woman of size because you suspect, for whatever reason, that she will get thin, and I think all FAs would be opposed to that...so it goes both...
