Why are there so many?

What does it matter if men and women are slim/curvy or whatever.

Can't stand em myself.

It's fair enough to have preferences, less fair when someone feels the need to slag another person's preferences off.

I find it worse when a woman body shames other women. Stinks of insecurity to me.

Unpleasant. No different to being the school bully. Probably more about power and trying to make the other person feel small. I presume these type of threads got reported?

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

The thing about it is that even when a thread about body shape or size is started with the best will in the world, someone is going to end up upset about it, because there will always be someone who says something like "real women" or "real men".

We are all real, regardless of our shape or size and we should all just accept that not everyone will find everyone attractive. And who the hells business is it except the two or more people involved in that choice.

Body shaming, no matter which way it goes, destroys people. Maybe not all at once, but bit by bit.

Please, please can we stop

I agree completely. There is some positivity that can come from it but also a lot of negativity to anyone big or small who doesn’t fit into the consensus. Would be different if it wasn’t used as a comparison but more a celebration. For example the mum tum thread would’ve done wonders for a few women who really don’t like theirs but if it was ‘I prefer a mum tum to a slim woman’ it would only breed negativity and normally wind up with conflicting posts.

Yes! I get that it’s a topic that’s going to be discussed, because pretty much everyone is naked in here! And I’m up for those conversations.

But I’d rather have ‘what do we appreciate about characteristic x’, than whether people prefer x or y. Then the people with x, or who like x can comment; and the people without x or who don’t like x, or who prefer y or z can start another thread.

I rarely comment on the preference threads because it’s hard to respond without coming across as judgemental.

To be honest I’m on the fence with this. I see things where people are accused of body shaming and personally I don’t think what they said is body shaming. Yes I’ve seen a thread today which I don’t see a need for. There’s all sorts of threads where offence can be taken ie circumcised or not? Hairy chest or not? Who prefers tall men? etc etc. There’s a BBW thread , no reason there can’t be a thread for people who like curvy, a thread for people who like slim etc. I do think people take offence sometimes where none is intended. Just my 2p worth! x

To be fair, that's usually what happens - threads start with someone saying "I like X", and invariably someone will comment "but I'm Y, does that mean that Y isn't attractive". Then it just gets twisted to be body shaming when it usually wasn't started as anything of the sort. So to stop it people either need to stop having preferences (which isn't going to happen), or people need to stop being offended when people have preferences that they don't fit into. Granted, some people sometimes don't word things in the best way possible, but not everyone is a wordsmith.

Yeah I saw that and that’s the thread I didn’t like but there was another one which I thought was fine. There’s plenty of big cock threads. I know for a fact some men get upset and feel inadequate with some of those threads. If everyone takes everything to heart or is offended there will be no discussion threads at all. I think there are words and phrases which people should have the bloody common sense not to use though!

Yeah of course there has to be some common sense taken place and frankly my _iew is that the vast majority of threads and post are fine. But I have seen one or two lately that probably take it a little far. Normally it’s comments over threads that just don’t need to be said or are said by people without thinking

Yes I agree with this. Do I agree with the unnecessarily cruel and cutting comments that can be posted on those sorts of threads? No. I think it's like life outside of fab - people judge because of size. People make comments and assumptions about someone because of size. Men and women do it frequently. It doesn't make it right but it happens. In an utopian society no shaming of any sort would go on but sadly the fora are faaaar removed from being one.

I understand we all have our preferences, but I fail to see how pulling others down makes you more attractive to anyone else?

Sometimes these comparison threads just turn into a battle which nobody wins and ends up feeling rubbish about themselves. I believe we all need to be kinder to each other, and maybe work on our own self image as not to project our own self insecurities onto others

The ones that make me facepalm are the ones who don't realise they're body shaming.

You know the ones, where in "support" of the body type they like, they go about it arse about face and say something disrespectful about the opposite type without realising it's offensive.

Body shaming is horrible. It’s really nice to interact with a range of people. Sometimes, someone might not be conventionally “good looking” but they just have a spark about them. It’s lovely.

What’s more, I think we’re all a little self-critical. I know some people I think are very beautiful or handsome but I know they’re much less sure of their own looks/body.

I think the things that shine-through more than looks are humour, confidence, kindness.

I agree.

Everyone is too easily offended.

I personally don't care if someone says something negative on a thread about my body shape etc ..

None of us have any control of what other people say on an Internet forum.

In an ideal fluffy world we would all accept each other and not put each other down.

But its never going to happen.

If someone says something derogatory about something that applies to you - try not to take it to heart.

It's the Internet!

Try being a big woman in the real world

I think that it should be important to note that there is a big difference between appreciating any particular feature or body type and shaming of someone who is not that type and that the two can be completely separate.

There have been a few comments within those threads that may have gone adrift of that but on the whole the threads I’ve seen have been appreciation rather than shaming

Are there truly body shaming threads? Never saw anything like "slim guys are shit" or "curvy ladies are horrible" or "small white dicks are the worst ever".

What I see is a lot of appreciation threads where someone comments too enthusiastically (example "Real women have curves, bones are for dogs") and someone else gets offended. Maybe we take too much to heart what horny people write on a forum board trying to get the attention of one of those "body types" they like?

Some people are immature

Some people are plain nasty

Some people genuinely think making these comments increase their chance of a shag

Some people don’t read their comments and think about them before posting

Some people are seeking adoration

Whatever the reasons, it’s not an attractive or necessary course of action and it can be quite upsetting

Be kind

But the insensitive comments usually only come after someone who is the opposite of what the thread was started about comments - I think people must feel that they need to justify their personal preference because somebody that doesn't fit into it is questioning it. To me, that's insensitive to the people with that preference in a way...if I saw a thread celebrating athletic women I'd just skip past, not go in and start questioning why the people on there don't like plumpsters like me because that would make people feel awkward and I really have no right to question someone's personal preference.

Tbh I think most of them start out as ‘appreciation’ threads for a particular look or body type (most often curvy or bbw) but they often go awry as many people seem incapable of admiring one body type without insulting another!

Works well for me though! On joining fab I was a size 10 ‘skinny Minnie’ who, according to most forum threads, nobody wanted. Now - thanks to the ****ing menopause I’m a size 14 with 36D boobies for the first time ever so officially quality as ‘curvy’ (I have a certificate and everything!)

Therefore - according to forum posts I’ve read - I’m now a better shag and a nicer person to boot!

Go me!

I still struggle to understand that people think "fat" is offensive but "skinny" isn't.

However where's the person who thinks slim women are boring and don't eat? Send them my way providing they're paying

In the heat of group sex, body shape or size doesn't come into the equation for us, it's the sexy and dirty minds that do it for us.

I have an appreciation thread which was started with the best of intentions..i started in response to some similar threads decending into nasty comments so I wanted to make a place for positivity..i havent had or seen any shaming on it,(I would call them out if i did) but I do see your point and see beauty in all shapes and sizes, but always find myself attracted to a womans attitude anyway

"Why are there so many?

What does it matter if men and women are slim/curvy or whatever.

We’re all different and we all like different things.

Live and let live/love

Tbh I think most of them start out as ‘appreciation’ threads for a particular look or body type (most often curvy or bbw) but they often go awry as many people seem incapable of admiring one body type without insulting another!

Works well for me though! On joining fab I was a size 10 ‘skinny Minnie’ who, according to most forum threads, nobody wanted. Now - thanks to the ****ing menopause I’m a size 14 with 36D boobies for the first time ever so officially quality as ‘curvy’ (I have a certificate and everything!)

Therefore - according to forum posts I’ve read - I’m now a better shag and a nicer person to boot!

Go me! "

Completely agree with this. It’s when people are incapable of appreciation without comparison and use of derogatory phrases to boot.

I’m glad I can at least look forward to being “curvy and attractive” when I hit the menopause though - just another 10-15 years ish and I might get my certificate too...

I can also confirm that slim women indeed do eat. Especially when hormonal and bored. I mean, who eats pizza for tea then 2 packets of crisps straight after? Asking for a friend ....

There is always body shaming comment of the threads here!

If someone starts a 'slim' one it is shut down pretty quickly, normally by women, if there is a BBW one, there is always the following comments: Who likes a straight road when a curvy one is more interesting, real women have curves, only dogs like bones, big girls are more fun, other women calling slim women 'skinny malinks, and then the is the age old 'stick insects' even the word 'skinny' I now find offensive as it is never meant in a nice way, it's slim not skinny!

And people think these forums are inclusive? Yeah Right!

It was comments along the lines of

Skinny women are uptight

They are up themselves

They are no fun to go out with, they are watching what they eat

Add to that people saying we’re are too easily offended, we all have our days where we

are feeling vulnerable/less resilient/in confident for whatever reason and sometimes comments like this can hit home.

You’re completely right in saying it’s stupid posts/comments by individuals, but sometimes it hurts, and I know I wasn’t the only one upset by the thread in question.

Are you including the poster girl / girl next door thread in this? I didn't take it as body shaming else I wouldn't have commented.

I'm interested to be taught how that upset people. What it made people feel. 'Cause I came back from a meeting and it had escalated wildly.

Teach me... it really didn't seem defamatory to me. No more than the BBW appreciation thread or the Big cock threads or similar.

I had a girlfriend, size 8, who was upset by the "real women have curves" campaign. I get it. I really do. But here people list things that they like, skin colour, sexuality, cock size etc.

I wonder where the lines are drawn and how that thread stepped over them...

In my opinion you have a great figure. Being serious - seeing your body completely transform in a short period and being able to do very little about it is hugely frustrating and upsetting to an extent. I’m still trying very hard to get used to it - and to at least tone these ‘extra curves’ a little! X

Aw thank you, as do you.

I can only imagine how upsetting that would be. I’ve always been a size 8. People told me it would all change when I hit 30 and it didn’t, but I imagine if I either have another baby or go through the menopause (whichever comes first!), I may no longer be...

There and to the left a bit

I think there's two sides to this to be honest - it's true there are "shaming" comments of all kinds, whether it be body shape, pubic hair choice, or any number of other topics - but are they as rife as is suggested by some? Personally I don't think so, they're usually isolated comments in threads - sometimes they blow up and the thread becomes a topic of discussion about shaming rather than whatever the intention of the original post was.

Then you have those that look to take offence at even the slightest thing, and jump on it from a great height and often in a lot stronger terms than is necessary.

In both instances it could be easily solved if people thought before they posted about how their comment will be taken, or how the comments of others are being taken by themselves.

You can have a figure that most other women aspire to have, and you be in the majority of what others see as attractive. And you can still look in the mirror on some days and hate what you see. What others aspire to and see in you doesn’t equate to what you see yourself. All it takes sometimes is that one comment to make you feel like shit.

Some people just like to put others down and make you feel bad about yourself no matter what size or shape. By doing so it gives them a boost. The problem lays with them and their insecurities, but it’s crap when you’re the one on the receiving end.

As if women and men aren’t bombarded every day with what the media think is the perfect shape and size, even hair colour. We should all celebrate our individuality x

Ultimately this is a swinging site where people may look for new sexual partners. If you know what you're attracted to, I don't see the harm in being clear about it on your bio. It helps people not waste their time.

I don't meet up with guys who are shorter than me for example because it's my preference, but I'm not judging men who are shorter, just saying they aren't my type.

Odd there are are a lot of women on the forums (ratio to meets).

Ladies is being sexually (or any attention) important to your ego?

I suspect, and I have no idea, there are a few ladies who are out to boost their lack of balance of ego by playing I’d,

Kind of cuts the single men’s chances by 10% I suspect.

Those threads are a bit of a minefield.

I got a negative comment today when I said why I like curvy women. Thing is, I didn't criticise any other type of woman in my post.

Also, I don't JUST like curvy women anyway. I always say I'm an equal opportunities perv.

Some people just think larger when they hear curvy, but you can be a size 12 and be curvy and a size 26 and be curvy.

My taste in women goes from fitness models to larger women and everyone in between, my attraction is not dependent on size.

I'm not the tallest, I'd say average, some might say small! There's plenty of threads stating women like tall guys. There's the cut or uncut ones. Big or small penises. The attracted to certain race ones, I don't like them.

I think people bring in their own baggage to these threads and transfer it, when often they are just an innocent comment that needs to be given some leeway.

That being said, it's still not excuse to be rude about another type when stating what you like.

Sorry for the meandering essay.

Yeah, probably. Use of language is always important, isn’t it. Makes the difference between offensive or not. I think there’s two aspects that would have improved it - 1. Ask the question without use of derogatory phrases, and 2. Answer your preference without slagging off / offending the opposite to your preference.

Not every shoe fits ...if a person's body shape isn't your cup of tea then you don't have to engage in conversation with them ..NOR feel the need to critize or insult them over it either...l have absolutely no time for anyone that feels they need to try and dim someone else's light so theirs looks brighter.

...or is it that people then make assumptions about a person's character or personality based on their body type?

I'm sure most people on here if presented with a poster girl and a girl next door type would choose a threesome.

I hate to see any unpleasantness online or in real life. There are so many stories about the effects of online bullying and nastyness - people might think they are just commenting or its 'just an opinion' but their comment might be another one of many that helps push someone over the edge.

People - Please...Please ...please..use some emotional intelligence and think before you press send on an unpleasant comment about a person you know nothing about, whether on here or else where.

I haven't seen much body shaming to be fair on here. I see lots of stated preferences which may not be as inclusive as some would like. Everyone has their own idea of beauty and that can encompass everyone. There is someone for everyone.

Maybe it's the way some of us state things. It's better to say that slim is a preference than say no BBW.

Either way there is also a minority who seem offended by anything.

I find the hot photo choices interesting. It does seem to show what types of bodies, looks and faces are considered the most attractive.
