Discussion Y'all are gorgeous, and I hope you know it!

54 Upvotes

To all the plus-size girls out there, seriously, don’t waste your energy letting Tinder and all that dating app crap make you question your attractiveness.

Go out to a club sometime, dance a little, lock eyes with that cute guy you’ve been noticing. Trust me, some of us would absolutely melt if you made the first move.
I’m genuinely convinced so many of you don’t realize how ridiculously attractive you are. And if I could date every curvy girl I’ve ever had a crush on, I’d probably need a second lifetime 😂

Keep being gorgeous, ladies. ❤️

Discussion Where do you get your confidence from?

29 Upvotes

I’m plus size, have been my entire life. I love seeing pictures of you all stepping out of what my norm is and showing bellies and thighs in short skirts.

I’ve always thought I didn’t care what other people thought of me but deep down I guess I do because I can’t bring myself to show skin.

I have several pencil skirts and other short skirts Ive bought over the years with the hopes of wearing them but alas they still have tags on them hanging in the closet.

How to get that confidence when I’m my own worst enemy.

Fashion Discussion Plus sized underwear?

17 Upvotes

Hey y’all!

I was just wondering where a good place was to get underwear? Usually I just get Hane’s/fruit of the loom high cuts at Walmart, but these days the size 10’s just are fitting like I want after some weight gain and that’s as high as the sizes go there.

I like a full coverage high cut that’ll come over the belly button if that helps. Any input is much appreciated!

Hi folks. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an EV that is fat friendly. I am looking for something around $30k in the US (5ish years old is fine) that has comfortable seats for fat bodies. Anybody have one they love? Going to go test drive some things this weekend but I want to know what others feel comfortable in.

5'7" and size 3x-4x.

Does anyone use a knee compression sleeve? I have short legs with large thighs. I got the CopperFit sleeve size XL at Costco and it is completely unwearable. I need something with a wide band that won't roll.

S*x Stuff Want to get into casual dating but don’t know where to start…

2 Upvotes

Sooo im 22(f) and am 5’9” 300lbs. I haven’t had really any sexual activity since high school and I’m a bit nervous to get back into it. The reason I’m interested in casual dating is bc I’m still going to school while working and don’t really have much time to spend in a full on relationship but I don’t want to deprive my self from meeting people and having a good time while doing it… I’ve never had sex while at this weight so that is one thing I am a bit nervous about and don’t know how to go about it (positions and such). I also fear that they may see me in person and it not be what they expected. Idk any advice is SO WELCOME!

Health Knee Brace help!

1 Upvotes

I recently started a new job that has me on my feet a lot. My knee has been an issue since a car accident a few years ago, and obviously my weight doesn't help. So I decided to try a knee brace to get me through the day. I found one that fits, but I can't keep it up! My thighs are pretty big, so that makes my legs tapered. So no matter how tight I put it on, I take a few steps and it's down around my ankle. I've even tried a sleeve and the same thing happens.

Anyone got any suggestions on what to do about this?

Fitness for health and wellbeing Athletic Wear: Compression Recs??

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for compression athletic wear. Could be a jumpsuit or leggings and tank top combo. I need my jiggly bits held snugly for exercise. Any suggestions? Mainly what I‘ve found is compression for smoothing under clothes but I need something that will keep me comfortable with jumping or running. A snug compression body suit would be preferable. Size 16 or 1x. Depends. Thank you!

Personal Looking for chat friends.

• Upvotes

Hey y’all! I’m 37, from Oklahoma, and looking for some genuine friendships with people who don’t take life too damn seriously.
I travel all over Oklahoma for work, occasionally dipping into Kansas and Texas. Between the long drives and crazy schedule, and hotel stays making actual friendships isn’t exactly easy.
I’m looking for people to shoot the shit with, share stupid memes, have random conversations, and laugh at life’s nonsense. Sarcasm, dark humor, inappropriate jokes, and a little friendly roasting are always welcome. Bonus points if we’re both questioning whether we’re going to hell after a conversation.
About me I have Graves’ disease and thyroid eye disease, so I’m temporarily rocking an eye patch over my right eye. Apparently, God thought I was getting too handsome and decided to nerf me. 😂
All jokes aside, life’s thrown some punches, but I’ve learned to laugh through the chaos. Just looking for good people, genuine conversations, and maybe a few friendships along the way.
If you’re funny, kind, slightly unhinged, and can take a joke, we’ll probably get along.

Discussion How do you feel content or proud of with your appearance no matter how conventionally attractive you are?

0 Upvotes

With how strict the Eurocentric beauty standard is, I realize that I’ll never be conventionally attractive. Sometimes though, it’s just frustrating with how fatness is seen as something that makes one inherently unattractive no matter how pretty someone’s face is.

As I’ve learnt more about body neutrality, I think that it would be nice to live in a world where being ugly wasn’t something to be ashamed about, and it doesn’t mean that your features are “wrong” or “should be fixed”. Everyone deserves respect no matter how ugly or beautiful they are. However, we don’t live in that kind of world. Nobody wants to be considered ugly, and reasonably so. “Ugly” is not only used as an insult, but as a way to tell someone that the way they look is “bad”, they don’t deserve love or respect, and they should think less of themselves for it.

Sometimes, I just want to feel beautiful; like my appearance is valid. Even then though, I want to feel like my body is valid when it’s ugly or mid-looking as well. I just want to feel confident sometimes with my body and how I look, fatness and all. However, my desires clash with what I’m “supposed” to be. I’m supposed to only be ugly since I’m fat. Everyone knows that being fat lowers your score on the pretty scale. In addition, the majority of people genuinely think that fat = ugly.

How do we see our own selves as valid when everyone else does not?
