Chubby/Curvy & FA Geeks

Comment

Wow!!! A third member has join the club. It's starting to get crowded in here. My name is Willie and I just want to say " Hi! ". I am the second member to join this group, I don't know if the creator of this group is still an active member of this site. If you are, I invite you to introduce yourself and tells us a little about yourself.

Like I said, my name is Willie and the reason I joined this group is because I am attracted to BBW ( Big Beautiful Women ). I also have a few extra pounds around the torso myself, but I'm current exercising.
I invite other members to join our little group and share your comments.

Put me down as a curvy lover too,altho this can be a touchy subject at times.

Comment

They're coming out of the woodwork!!!!! I'm glad to see another chubby lover come out of the closet. But I don't understand what you mean about this being a "...touchy subject...".

Comment

Well I mean I dont think gals need to be a size zero like Hollywood says these days.I think real women have curves and I like em like that.Also I was never in the closet,my problem is trying to approach them,guess Im too shy for my own good.

Did you see an article on the Fox News website about a Romanian model with a 20 inch waist? If you didn't, all you have to do is type in " 20 inch waist " at their search engine on top of the site. It's about a model who is 5'6", 84 pounds with 32 inch hips but only a 20 inch waist. Her waist makes her look frightenly unhealthy. She says she eats 3 meals a day, but you have to wonder how many meals she throw up in a day. There was a time in the 19th century where an hour glass figure was prized. But women in those times had a few extra pounds even with a hour glass figure. This model looks like she could be a walking skeleton.

corsets do some amazing things. there is a woman who has a waist the width of a jar of mayo.

Sorry for the lengthy history lesson on corset use and it's health risks, but:

Trouble Breathing
One such problem was reduction of lung volume. Because the corsets were so tight, women were only able to fill the tops of their lungs with air. This shallow breathing resulted in the bottom part of the lungs being filled with mucus. This was characterized by a persistent cough, the body's way of ridding the lungs of foreign matter. This may have been why doctors believed corsets were a cause of tuberculosis. Women were also known to faint because of the reduced lung function. This made smelling salts a typical household item.

Impact on Internal Organs
Another corset health issue was the compression of the internal organs, including:

Liver
Stomach
Bladder
Intestines
Not only did this compression cause a deformed liver but also indigestion, heartburn and constipation.

At the time it was common for children to wear training corsets in order to prepare them for real corsets when they grew older. This often resulted in the atrophy of their back muscles. Consequentially, some women found it impossible to go with out the support of a corset in order to accomplish simple tasks such as picking up a baby.

Inability to Bear Children
Perhaps one of the most significant corset health issues involved a woman's ability to have children. Obviously, constricting and compressing her internal organs made it difficult for a baby to develop. Many times, the mother died or the baby was born with birth defects. It was also believed that women would deliberately wear an unusually tight corset in order to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

Greetings to all, and I'm Olivia. Livie for short! I'm a member of the thick/plus size/curvy bunch! Working out and becoming a foodie though in the fresh food/local grown variety so it is really helping in the health arena! I am from San Diego, CA. Ahh, sunny So-Cal. Today it lived up to its name. Beautiful!

I hope to make friends and see what is going on in cyberspace. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Welcome to the club Livie. In just 30 days, we increased our numbers six times. Hopefully we can assimilate more chubbies/curvies out there. Most of the people in this group are shy. But, hopefully, we can coaxe them out of their shell.

You take care.

Wow! Another victim,... er group member. We're on a roll! Welcome aboard Poohbear. Feel free to talk about anything.

Comment

OK you silent pplz! Come on out with it. If you joined don't you want to get to know the group? /;p Let me know who I'm talking to at least. Where are you from/how old are you, how long have you been on SOG and how much luck on this site have you had

Comment

I live in Frederick, MD; I'm 25 and I've been on this site for about three days now. I have been able to get an email reply from one person so far but you guys are so quiet.

Comment

They're shy. I've been on this site for about 6 months and so far I've only had regular contact with one member ( Cynical Soul ). That's until she got bored with me and dumped me. But you're a beautiful woman. I'm sure there is a bunch geeks on this site who want to contact you. They just have to get over their intimidation.

Hi JSHAP23 and PEACE-N-LOVE,

My name is Willie. I'm the self-appointed welcome wagon for this group ( Mainly because no one else seems to want to post a discussion, except for SCONNER3 ). Welcome aboard! Feel free to discuss anything you like.

Comment

oh BURN dude, you spelled my name wrong and it's RIGHT....THERE. CONNOR. ;P it's actually Sara Connor. That's right, Sara Connor. It just makes geekdom that much better :D

Comment

Hello Kittybot,

Welcome to the group. My name is Willie and I am the cheerleader of the club ( Nobody else seems to want to comment. Except for SCONNER3 ). So sit down, kick off your shoes and put your feet up! Feel free to talk about anything you want.

Comment

Sorry SCONNOR3. I'll cut down on the drinking before posting my comments next time.

Comment

lol. Don't drink and post man....don't drink and post ;)

Comment

Actually, I hardly ever drink. I just needed an excuse to cover up the real reason I messed up...senility!

Comment

What I tell patients when I'm working is that I'm just the female version of Magoo so when they watch me clumsily having a youngztimers episode they don't panic lol

Comment

So you're in the health profession. Cool! ( I got to pay more attention to people's profiles ). So what are you? A nurse? An intern? Does all the bed hopping in Grey's Anatomy really happen? ( Not that I'm accusing you of being a slut. I'm not Rush Limbaugh ).

Comment

Welcome aboard BrutalXBrenda! Most of the people in this group are shy. Maybe you can help me and SCONNOR3 ( I got the name right this time ) pull some of the people out of their shell.

Comment

Well, looks like I'm number 15 - nothing special at all! *pout*

Comment

Heeeeyyy Nerdgirl!! It doesn't look like you should be in the Chubby / Curvey / Fat ass group ( Although I can only see you from the chest up in this photo ). Welcome to Death Valley! Not that many people post here.
