Shooby frickin' doo...
Hi! New here... I guess a *small* intro is somewhat necessary: I'm Megan, 23, live in VA, borderline BBW (solid size 12), have no clue what I am doing here right now. Well, yes I do...here it goes.
I am dating someone who is an FA. He told me this after the third date, and needless to say, I was shocked, flabbergasted, thrown for an ethnocentric loop. When he said that I was "thin" I was secretly pleased with myself and felt flattered, until I considered the source. I had never even heard of the terms "BBW" or "FA" or anything else. He claims that he IS attracted to me, as much as he can be, and we DO have quite the active *ahem* sex life and none of that seems to be an issue for him. He does concentrate on the "chubby" areas of my body, mainly lower stomach and hips, which I think is fine and I am not uncomfortable at all with...it actually makes me feel more comfortable in my own skin and like I don't have to suck in around him. We've been dating for a month, and while I told him that I wasn't actively trying to lose weight, I wasn't going to drink creatine shakes either...
I used to be heavier, and I received a LOT of pressure from family to lose it and be thin again. I was never unhappy with myself in the first place. This guy is great and our personalities mesh really well so I consider him someone that I could, at the very least, be with long term...but I can't halp but to have reservations. If I could get the opinions of some other FA's, that would be magnificent!!! I really just want to know how important "size" really is, and how many of their are you? I have never encountered a man such as he, and I am intrigued and curious in a purely objective way, as well as in a most personal fashion.
Thanks so MUCH!

PS. How do you get a picture to show up on the thread, under my name, like everyone else?
