When i was a teenager i had an eating disorder it took over my life most of my 20s and 30s i was very slim or as you would call it a spinner but i was very unhealthy even though i had a smoking body .

It just sickens me when guys do fat shaming they have no idea how one struggles with there weight .

Why is it ok for an overweight man to only want a spinner is it only because he has money cause most of us woman aren't as shallow as judging men about there weight.

Being a bbw means I'm not as busy as a spinner even though I'm very talented in my service but you know what it took me 40 years for me to love myself and ill be damned by any of the rude comments i read on this board about woman being over weight and undesirable.

Im sharing this incase any other woman or man has suffered or is suffering with the same thing

Interesting, looks like there are quite a few people in the States that have eating disorders. North America and great Britain are the top two places that have the most overweight people in the world from what I know. I blame the lifestyle for this. When I was growing up in Europe I didn't know what an eating disorder was. There was barely any fast food available to the public and people walked to places instead of driving everywhere. A drive thru was unheard of so perhaps that's what kept the population more slim. People actually cooked at home and walked places and I can't really remember any overweight people in my school except couple of old teacher's maybe. Guess those days are over.

Thanks for sharing your struggle Madonna!

At the end of the day, you can't control how people think or behave all you can do is focus on being the best version of you. Let's not forget this industry is about fantasy and sometimes that means wanting something different from what you have/experience at home. Good for you for getting over your ED! That in itself is worth soooo much more than any man's validation.

WOW...
I have typed and typed a response over and over and no matter how I put it ..it doesnt come out right...So I'll just say this..
women come in all shapes and sizes and so do the hobbyist...we're not all 6-4 blond haired adonis's..nor is every woman a swimsuit model ,,the beauty of this business is...WE(women and men) dont have to be...we all have a specific look we like....and I'm sure you ladies have a preference as to who you would like to see call on you...hell 1 lady has a weight restriction for clients..( I'm still hitting the treadmill to lose that last 5 stubborn pounds)...so I'm under her limit!!
Speaking for myself...and MYSELF only...I have never pidgeon holed myself to a specific body type or look...except the younger than 25 ladies...just cant do it...But thats just me...A pretty face...beautiful eyes( this is a challenge when the face is blurred) and most of all.....Attitude is what drives me to see a lady.

Why is it ok for an overweight man to only want a spinner is it only because he has money cause most of us woman aren't as shallow as judging men about there weight.

Why do we do this?

For me is because I have fond memories of little petite cute brown girls.

They treated me nice when I first came to Canada when many other girls made fun because I could not speak any English and tried taking advantage and were shady and shifty...didn't help that I grew up in the rough areas with crime, gangs and drugs. It is also easy for me to form a connection and feel chemistry with them.

I have not had pleasant experience with overweight girls. Dated a girl from adult finder for like 3 years. She didn't give a shit about her or my health. When we wanted to have kids she would not quit smoking and I could not father a baby with someone who didn't give shit about her babies health thus it needed to end. My values are I would die any day for my kids so we could not mesh...my kids come first. So our values were different. I tired but it did not work out. She was Mulato, fucking horney so much, but her additude sucked and I could not see myself happy in the next 30 years.

The cute little brown girls also remind me of my wife when I first met her. I know sound weird right? Trust me I question it too how wrong this is...lol Also subconsciously I think our babies would look so cute and adorable and they do.

I don't care for big boobs. Maybe I just haven't met the right BBW girl to change my mind.

I can also ask myself why do I only chase after brown girls. Maybe there is a psychological malfunction with my brain. Maybe I have mother issues and I want my kids to look nothing like her or my extended family because many of them are selfish pricks who just manipulate, lie and use each other which I learned to expect from EU women

So yeah, I am sure if we psychoanalyze it we probably get to the bottom of it.

I tried booking with white girls many times, but we just don't click it, and they don't and have not ever blown my mind to a billion pieces. Little Asian girls, yes, Latinas yes, but not white women. Many of them were petite to average.

So now I stick with the ones who bring me most internal pleasure and contention and euphoria. This is the best I can come up with. Maybe if I ponder this I bit longer I can provide some more contribution.

Why is it okay? I don't think it's okay, its never okay to take advantage of someone because they have a mental illness. But IMO its okay to fuck people over who make fun or harass people with a mental illness. Its a free ticket then.

With such a serious topic in faith I reply because I believe that you care, even thought a part of me thinks this might be just another strategic thread to generate business. Just being real, it is what it is, and I know it is very likely this little part could be wrong thus why I replied . I believe the universe eventually restores the balance and stuff like this just creates imbalance and ripples. If guys miss out on true love because of weight the universe karma will pay us back just like if we misuse certain sensitive topics or techniques for personal gain. That's why I believe if I wronged people without just cause it will come back to me if not in this life then in my other life through reincarnation.

Not every really thin woman has an eating disorder. Not ever larger woman has an eating disorder. An eating disorder can be overeating, under eating, or not eating at all, or any combination in between. Eating disorders are more of a mental disorder, not a physical one. Anyone who has struggled with any sort of body issue knows that what the world sees, and what you see in the mirror, are two very different things. I myself, suffered from a nasty combination of anorexia and bulimia for about 10 years, many many moons ago. I did my time in therapy. I learned about nutrition. I learned about my body. I learned about food and how judgmental society is.

I also learned to love myself. That one took the longest. It’s also the most valuable, and is one my most treasured lessons. No amount of therapy could teach me that, I simply had to get to know myself and accept myself. I know now that I’m not for everyone, nor do I want to be, nor do I care to be. With age comes wisdom sure, but more appropriately, with life experience comes wisdom.

As mentioned, not every client that we see is a GQ model, and not every woman in the industry is a VS model. Boys that write reviews pointing out every perceived flaw on a woman is a very low, and cruel, thing to do. And we all know that a low person can only bring themselves up, by bringing others down. How belittled would those same boys feel if we were to turn around and write a detailed review, for all eyes to see, pointing out every little flaw on them? Likely, not good.

Now, to the gentlemen that respect us women, appreciate the female form, and the service we provide, we salute you.

All I can say ladies, and gents too, is to love yourself. Others opinions of you are not your business…it is only theirs. You’re all beautiful!
