Hello all. I'm Dave R. I'm a 24 year old expatriate American living and working in Guangzhou, China. Since I'm temporarily separated from my fiancee and have not as of yet developed any social outlets here, I've been spending more time online than I have in a long time. Snooping around this website has made me reminiscent about my adolescence and when I first discovered websites like this. I had always, especially since the onset of puberty, been attracted to larger women. The discovery of Heather, Anne Marie, and Cindy G's old websites was a real awakening for me. Here were beautiful confident women who were not afraid of social convention and our ridiculous taboos regarding beauty and size. Slowly during those years I became more confident in my preference -- of course, not with out moments of embarassment. But that's a huge part of that stage in life for just about everyone. I remember once during high school running off to baseball practice, leaving Anne Marie's website up on the family computer's screen (the faux dominatrix photo set, if I'm not mistaken). Well, of course my parents came home from work during that interval of time and to their horror found the website. I got a pretty long speaking to. I was some kind of deviant in their eyes for a long time, I think. Ironically, I was even at that age pretty much repulsed by actual pornography. What websie like Anne Marie's and Heather were and, as far I know, still are are just pinups pictures like Sports Illustrated for men who prefer a women a bit more, umm, shape. I suppose the very existence of websites really built my confidence. I really don't care one bit what people think. Now, I'm engaged to an intelligent and beautiful self describe fat feminist -- and I'm madly in love. I'd really like to thank all those people who have built this community because in retrospective, it was definitely a godsend for this former awkward and embarassed teenager.
