View Full Version : ARE YOU FAT?
Good for you Neptune! Some people can be so insensitive. I bet it hurt the way those girls treated you. Are you dancing again? I wonder how those girls will treat you now or when you get to 110lbs?

Maybe I'm a bitch, but I don't think it takes guts to take your clothes when you're a heavy set girl.
I don't think that's true at all. I imagine it's harder for a girl who is heavy and who likely doesn't feel as good about herself as a slimmer girl to take off her clothes.

Yes, I'll be dancing again soon, it it will be nice getting back to work finally. Although, at 5'2 I should be about 110. So basically I have 15 more to lose. I don't think i look bad at all, however, i need toning in those problem areas. I'm sort of in the middle of chubby and slim. I think I have a good face, so I can make up with that.
Although, at 5'2 I should be about 110.
Not true. The body mass index that states if you are 5'2" you should weigh 110 lbs. doesn't take into account the amount of muscle a person has. I am 5'1" and weigh 115 lbs. I am happy with my weight (although I have moods when I want to be one of the really skinny girls with no curves). I've learned to be happy with what I have. Fitness competitors who are our height are usually 120 off season and 115 contest weight.
Don't go by weight, go by how you look and how your clothes fit you. Although 110 lbs. is only 5 lbs. less than what I am now, it is a struggle for me to get there and keep it. I know my body wants me to be 115. I have learned to be happy at 115.
Don't kill yourself trying to be a weight your body doesn't want to be. Go for a goal of 5 lbs. at a time. It will make it easier for you to reach your goal, and once you lose 5 lbs. you can take a look at yourself and see if you are happy with yourself then or if you would like to go for 5 more.

I also was like WTF? when I read the subject line.
I am a big girl...there are days I love it, and days I hate it. I remember working in this one club as a hostess, and whenever my shift was over I would stay and wait for my roommate and all my other friends to get ready to go.
I would sit up at the bar and have man after man after man ask me if I was a dancer, why wasn't I dancing...etc. At first I thought they were joking...with all these skinny chicas?? No way!
The first time a man offered me $100 for a half of a song lap dance with all of my clothes on was the first time I realized that dancing MIGHT be the thing to do.
Although I am not your typical dancer size, I take extreme pride in my appearance. Bigger people in general have a bad rep for appearance and hygiene. My nails, my hair, my makeup, my clothes, my toenails, my smile, are always (well, not ALWAYS) flawless.
I am a great dancer, a wonderful conversationalist, I am intelligent, and I give the customer a great time. I get along with my skinny girls, and I fill a need that no one else in the club might be able to.
Don't worry about me taking your money, we appeal to different markets. I don't worry about the dancers in my club that look like they will keel over if they don't eat a sandwich..how they look is their own thing.
We are ALL gorgeous.

Eek, as the resident chubby newbie, I am now offically scared as hell about my audition. I'm 5'9 and around 165 ish. I'm not saying that all big girls are suited to dancing, I'm just a little uncomfterable with some of the emaciated body types I see dancing. I'm all for big girls trying it out, but I'm going to veer in favor of solidish big girls. Mushy-celulitey chub just has an unhealthy cast to it. However, people who are mean to big girls are just horrid. It's tough for anyone to get up there and bare all before an audiance, and anyone who can deserves positive support. This said, I'm going to eat my sandwich, and check my rugby practice schedude.

Hi,
yeah, I was actually excited to find this thread...I thought it was a place for me, so i could get advice on finding plus size girls - and reading what they experienced in the business. but it turned out to be some shallow burn about how gross and nasty fat girls are, how rude.
this is my dream, to represent these good looking girls plus size girls
a lot of the girls here feel they have inner beauty and having curves can be a threat to thin/trained girls but to each their own.
I hope this does not get yanked, like my last post, because i was looking for the plus size dancers and they thought i was spamming. If I were spamming I would have plastered my website everywhere on this site. Just take a look, I guarantee you, I have not even posted my website address anywhere on this site, because I am a new member and have enough respect for the people in this community. I need to make friend first before business networking.

Where do you draw the line though? One person's fat may be another person's perfect.

well my criteria, when I'm searching, are women between the sizes 12-20 -- i've seen some pretty okay 22's but I would draw the line at sizes 24+
a lot of women are built so differently that a woman who is an size 18 could look more like a size 22.
I want the whole pin-up style women -- you know the ones that are so sexy and curvy.
Most of the time its just that they have bad water retention, or don't drink enough water and don't eat enough small nurtient rich meals through out the day.
