Just found this board yesterday.
HUGE eye opener! O_O I honestly adore you all!!! I finally feel like it isnt a total and complete sin to be a large woman! And that there are actually some really nice guys out there who sincerely like our physical traits!
-.- Honestly, the amount of emotional turmoil I might have saved myself had I known of such a community sooner... Sigh~ But better late than never no? :wubu:
Anyway! Introductions are in order I suppose. Im a 19 year old girl who lives in somewhere in asia. I have never been 'thin' but as a child I had been on the slender side although larger than my peers. For some reason, the girls in my country are made SMALL! (or tiny =_=). When I was around 9-10 I gained weight. Alot of weight.
Sigh~
School sucked. High school (the equivalent of it here anyway) sucked more. But now in college it isnt so bad although there are daily doses of depressing images of slim girls prancing around in tight mini skirts and cute tops I cant fit.
Reality of it here is that most girls and women weigh 100lbs-135lbs. In fact, those above 135lbs are almost always labled as large/fat/ugly. ;_; So you can imagine my mental state when at 13 (I dunno how tall I was) I was actually 135lbs. Children, being innocently cruel, were not as nice as they could have been simply because I was large, sweat more than average and was not 'cool' or 'popular'.
At 16, I peaked at 187lbs and lost weight till I weighed roughly 165lbs. But this last year... -.-
I stand at 5'5 and weight 213lbs. In a country like this where im bombarded by images of 'beauty and perfection' and surrounded by girls whom I (weight-wise) equal 2 of, I have had a hard time dealing with my size and physical.
Then I found you all! ;_; you cannot know what a god send it is to find women who love their bodies as well as other men who do too! I have always 'heard' of men who prefer large women but never met any of these mythical creatures. Now I KNOW they exist and there is hope for me!(LOL! Emotionally deprived teenager here! Back off! Hahaha!)
*hugs* I just want to know that it means soo much to me to have found people as beautiful as all of you (inside and out!)!
