The screenshot is from the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) website. In the text they admit they are oversampling certain ethnic groups for their health surveys.I didn't take in-depth look at their sampling methods so correct me if I'm wrong: HANES extrapolate obesity rates based on self-reported BMI (not their weight). Do they fail to account for certain minority ethnic groups higer body fat per the same BMI? Does it make sense that rates in the US soar while in other countries it stays fixed? Are certain socioeconomic groups oversampled too?

I've noticed compared to a couple other forums I visit, including:

- Curvage (on occasion)
- TitsInTops (most frequently)
- Preggophilia (very rarely - to search for content on specific girls while they happened to be gestating),

That BBW-Chan's userbase tends to be the most hostile to candid threads. I know there's something in the rules about it, but it's one of those rules that tends to get a pass when no one is making a fuss.

Maybe it has something to do with the simultaneous, frequent preference for content from "models" here, as opposed to content from more girl-next-door-type thicc/busty/BBW chicks from social media?

Maybe it's as simple as that candids being against the global rules draws in a regular user-base that has no interest in that content?

Maybe it's because the anonymity and resultant lack of humility in some regulars makes them feel above the idea of strangers/people on the streets, as opposed to "higher-worth" models?

I know some people just aren't into it, and I get that 100%. This isn't a complaint thread in the slightest, I'm more just wanting to hear thoughts on this since it struck me as interesting that TiT, Curvage, etc. absolutely embrace good candid material of busty or extra thicc/heavy women in public settings.

In the US at least, paparazzi "photojournalists" get free reign due to the general assumption that in public places you may be photographed or videoed at any time without consent (as long as it's not extended/harassing/seems to be targeted at children, and isn't invading assumed privacy -- like an upskirt). Non-harassing candid video of a large butt you happen to be strolling behind is no more illegal than if that same butt showed up in the background of a TV show, for instance.

The above doesn't mean that it's not skeevy and that there are not skeevier ways to do it/go about it than others. I think for me at least, living somewhere known in hip-hop for having good booty (guess where lol), I occasionally find myself taking small detours just to appreciate an attractiv person's figure and, arguably, the way they're choosing to present themselves.

I'm wondering if others have thoughts or opinions on why this attitude exists here on BBW-Chan, but not in other online spaces where usernames and lack of anonymity make moderation heavier in general.

Once again - not an argument for or against candid-posting here. Just curious in a "meta" way, about the general forum-goer's prevailing attitude toward candid photos/videos itself.

Recently somebody made a new Adeline thread over on /ssbbw/ in the interests of getting her newest content shared after her hiatus following an injury. The thread was started on 7/26/2022 at 15:27:21 PM (I'm not sure what time zone bbw-chan uses) and since then, has been the fastest moving thread on /ssbbw/, getting 99 replies from 59 unique posters, as of this post (two days later). This follows ANOTHER Adeline thread that autosaged and was popular, but not nearly as fast. There also exists an active 'vintage' Adeline thread, but it obviously isn't as popular, but the fact that two threads dedicated to her exist for different reasons is striking. For comparison's sake, Boberry's newest thread was made 7/2/2022 at 12:18:44 PM, has 97 replies, and only *24* unique posters as of the creation of this thread.

Now, the primary reason for the swiftness and high-traffic of the thread is almost certainly due to the OP's dedication to sharing her content, being responsible for multiple daily content drops and inspiring others to contribute to the cause as well with other recent content of their own. In all honesty, I think it's probably one of the most successful threads /ssbbw/ has ever seen. Naturally its popularity is bound to dwindle now that nearly all of her most recent content has been shared, but its near 100 reply achievement in 2 days is unheard of on /ssbbw/.

Why is this? I think it's pretty clear that Adeline is by FAR the most attractive and one of the youngest models to get as fat as she's become. In addition, she's put on a whopping 60+ pounds over the course of 6 or 7 months after being practically immobilized from an injury. She's now tipping the scales at 669 pounds as of her latest weigh-in from a couple weeks ago, and her mobility is very quickly becoming compromised. The only comparable model to the age and size bracket would be Fat Miss T, and she's... well, an acquired taste and subjectively less attractive than Adeline.

This all strikes me as extremely interesting. Adeline has been, for lack of a better description, been something of a B-Tier model that everyone was aware of and enjoyed, but never saw any fandom-tier attention of the likes of Roxxie, Boberry, or recently, Jackie. Speaking of Jackie, she was voted as the *most popular* model on /ssbbw/, beating out Boberry in a semi-recent bracket-style poll here on /gen/ and was also participated in by a few subreddits - if I remember correctly Adeline was knocked out in the quarter-finals.

Here's where I propose my question to /gen/: It's obvious people are attracted to Adeline because of the very fresh content leaks, her attractiveness, utterly massive size, and completely unprecedented ballooning in size - but does that make her the BEST /ssbbw/ has to offer? Something is very unique here, and while I'm willing to chalk much of it up to her content leaks and discussions regarding her size and growth - especially from deathfeedists and health issue fetishists (no judgment) - a model gaining this much popularity practically out of nowhere is extremely unusual, at least according to the data. Or am I just overanalyzing things?

Can anyone help me? I am looking for an old Playboy video from 1998 called "Playboy The most wanted boobs".
Please help, I have been looking for it for many years and can't find it anywhere. It may sound funny, but it was from it, after I secretly watched it on TV as a teenager, that my love for women's breasts began,

The "Is she really into it" game got me thinking - we all know there's girls in the BBW/SSBBW scene that hate how they are. Some took it too far in their gaining, others have been doing this for too long a time, a few more are resenting the attention they are getting, etc. Whatever the reason, some of these girls are in too deep and want out, but are continuing to cash in when they can.

I present to you: two switches.

Switch #1 is an instant weight loss switch - whoever activates it will immediately lose all their excess weight (down to, say, a BMI of 20), with no skin stretching, no exhaustion, no looking like they aged 30 years in an instant. They will look as if they never gained weight at all deliberately; for argument's sake we'll consider the size they were when they started modeling officially, and from that point dieted to obtain and maintain a healthy weight at a reasonable, doctor-approved pace. In this sense, anyone who started off super obese would not immediately be assuming a body that is impossible to conceive. Someone like MochiiBabii would look the same as when she arrived save for a few years older, Plump Princess would have lost about 150 pounds from her start in her early 20s and have some signs of having loose skin, and someone like Echo would have lost over 300 over a long period of time up until now and would have shown signs of being huge but "slim" now.

The only catch is all of their porn and content would still be out there and still exist.

Which brings us to Switch #2: Whoever activates this switch over the other would have never gone into modeling. No pressure or coaxing from a fanbase or a community to gain weight, no online fame, no influencer status; the model that chooses this switch would have assumed a normal career in a field of their choosing they are qualified for. It's ultimately speculation what they would have done unless they have a career already. This switch is a temporal do-over in the sense that whatever triggered them to start posting online and flaunting their fat bodies would never have happened. Whether they gained or lost weight after that, I leave to your imagination.

Furthermore, which models do you think would walk away from both of these switches? Who would look at the face of a cosmic reset and think "Nah, I'm good."? Let's hear it.

Hi guys, umm, first of all, Im also into fat girls just like everyone else here I suppose. I just want to share my thoughts on the fetish and the way I like it. I just really want to share it since I've never talked about this with anyone, so... Please tell me what you think about it, the answer doesnt matter, just wanna know. So, to be honest I actually look more into fat art from people like "Better With Salt, Kipteitei, Anastimafilia, etc." and weight gain stories from devianart authors such as "Logitechk1, Bobiscool18, etc." rather than actual images of real fat girls (doesnt mean that I dont look for those, I just dont do it that much in comparison to the other options mentioned before) . The thing is that among all the different body types (fat ones), whether they are a bit exaggerated on fat art or WG stories, the one that I like the most is an apple shaped girl with small boobs. By this I mean that I like the fact that as she gains weight her belly is the main focus for all the new fat, all while her boobs are barely growing in comparison, thus making her look kind of flat chested with a massive belly filled with rolls of fat. Besides, I truly love it when they are teased by the contrast between her small boobs and her massive belly, comments like "Huh? So fat and still no tits" or "Umm.. It seems like that belly took all the pounds for itself". A great example of what I mean is seen on this devianart story called "Hannah's goals" by Logitechk1, in which the girl is an apple shaped one, gaining most of the fat in her belly, while having small boobs in comparison, leading to the "villain" (the girl who forced her to get fat by blackmailing her) to sometimes tease her because of that, not to mention that the protagonist (Hannah) herself admits that too sometimes, which I really love, comments like "Why are my boobs not growing!?" or "If Im gonna get fat anyway, then at least Id want to gain in the right places". Finally, I also love when this kind of girl is forced to exercise in WG stories and is described in such a way that shows how much she struggles with her new body and still emphasizes the apple shape, like mentioning that her belly touches the ground while trying to do a push up or that now even her small boobs are jiggling along with her massive belly.
Having said all of that, what do I exactly want to achieve by sharing this? As I said at the beginning, Ive never shared this (not even here lol) and I just wanna see what you think and see your usual/normal answers. This is my favorite body type when it comes to fat girls, and the second one... Its pretty much kind of the same, also apple shaped girls, but with big boobs (yeah, Im definitely a boob guy, not that I dont appreciate pears though).

I'm tired of this stupid ass fetish. I don't just like fat women, the concept of weight gain turns me on so much that I sometimes gain intentionally for weeks, gaining up to nearly 20 pounds in months... but bottom line is fucking hate it.

I was well last year, going to the gym regularly and weighing 93 Kgs (205,03 pounds). I'm 6'0 so I still had to shed some more weight, but I was doing good. Now I weigh around 104 Kgs (229.281 pounds) and it's hard as shit to gather the will to do ANY phisical activity. And this fucking fetish only fuels my "need" to get fatter because my dumbass brain thinks it's extremely hot.

I don't know what the fuck to do, I've tried everything, I just can't, I get turned on extremely easily and I just wanna eat when that happens...

I wanna be able to hit the gym and eat healthy without these horrendous cravings. I want the fat in my women, not me. What can I do?

TL;DR: I get horny getting fatter but I don't want really to be fatter, I wanna be fit. Any tips?

Can I get some recommendations for places or websites/apps I can have a good chance at finding and dating bbws and ssbbws?

I want to avoid sites that cater to feederism since I want to have my relationship not be just about how fat the girl is.

I have tried WooPlus and had a date from there.
I dont want to do Feabie and Tinder because of the hook up culture and Feabie attracts the most idiotic and insane women I have seen on the internet.
