Most of the girls out there are skinny, is there a market for curvy?

[irukolo]

Hi ladies (and lurking gents)

I used to be skinny like most of the other girls out there. But due to a medication change, I gained some weight and now I have a bit of a spare tire. Does it seem like the guys seem to notice a little extra/a little roll? It makes me so self conscious, especially if I do any...err..closeups, and my stretch marks are on parade.

Thoughts? Encouragement? I've lost 10, but I have another 20 to go before I'm back to what I was. Dieting is rough when you hate plants.

Personally I don't mind a few extra pounds. Most of what we think an ideal woman should look like has basically been forced upon us by others.. Those few pounds "Wouldn't be healthy" or a woman would be "worthless" with a few extra pounds.. That is total rubbish.

There are 3 and a half billion women on this planet and everyone is different. Be yourself, love yourself and people will love you. I know.. it's not easy. I have seen models waste away because of that one remark one troll made rather than to listen to all the praise regulars had for her.. but you can kick trolls and tell them to fuck themselves and that they will never have a woman as wonderful as you.

3 words for ya: OH! HELL! YES!

 

[DonaDiabla]

Umm...camming is different than stripping and pornography. Sure, there are some curvy and BBW porn stars but they are not the norm in mainstream porn. Nor is the super curvy or BBW stripper....they are more of a niche market.However, there is a major market for curvy, chubby , BBW, and SSBBW ladies in camming. Sure, it is more a niche but you get devoted and loving fans. Plus fans of more "thicker" women are very loving and supportive. I hope this helps.

People of all sizes will have fans, and can make a go of sex work. If one site doesn't seem to work, try a different one. If live cam seems slow, make clips. No matter what you look like, you are someone's ideal of absolute sexiness.
In fact, there is a category FOR stretch marks on clips4sale. http://clips4sale.com/list/en/category/1123/STRETCH-MARK-FETISH

(As for dieting when you hate plants, maybe look into one of the high protein diets. They include plants, but you get to eat lots of other yummy non-planty stuff too.) Losing weight is also a category on clips4sale. http://clips4sale.com/list/en/category/1185/LOSING-WEIGHT

What is your final goal to be skinny or BBW? As many people have mentioned BBW and curvy are a nitch but like any niche it only works if the models accepts it. BBW models aren't generally trying to become thinner, they've accepted how they look and market to it. If you're asking should you cam before you look the way you're comfortable on cam I would say try to avoid it unless you really have no choice in the matter because clients can sense when a model is having body issues and you only have a limited amount of days you can use the "new girl" status to get noticed.

 

[AudriTwo]

Congrats on your weight loss so far, OP. Camming isn't limited just for the thin, even though it may appear. There will be dudes attracted to you no matter how much weight you weigh.

 

[SaffronBurke]

A scroll through any camsite will show you a variety of body types. I once had someone ask me how I do on Streamate, because she had "only seen girls who look like supermodels and didn't know if anyone else could make money there". That really irked me. If that's all you've seen, you haven't looked closely at all. There's women of all sizes, even ages, all working what they've got. Right now, the first few rows feature 3 women over 40, and at least 2 BBW's. The other women are a wide variety of body types.

 

[HarleyRey]

I have a chubby belly and no one has mentioned it. However I'm also not making hardly any money.
Look at ketogenic diet. I've lost 20 lbs in a few months, 10ish to go like you. Plants aren't absolutely necessary

 

[Carmita Bonita]

Hell yes there's a market for curvy camgirls otherwise me and my big ass would be out of a job XD

 

[Val Vega]

There's a market for everything. If it exists, someone wants to fuck it.

I like you, think we'll keep you around.

I've gone through many phases with my weight, I am learning that some men like skinny women...others enjoy women with dangerous curves.

Being proud of your body, no matter the size is whats important.
I have stretch marks too, did you know 80% of women have stretch marks?
I gained a solid 10-15 pounds from my birth control medication. I managed to loose 5 pounds eliminating soda from my diet.
My personal taste in men, is a man with a few extra pounds. I've liked men with that physique since I became interested in the opposite gender.

Please don't be hard on yourself, I weighed 60 pound more than I do right now when I first became a model, I earned. Anyone can earn, regardless of their size.

 

[AvaNikki]

Girl yessss!
Im on the thicker side and I do very well on MFC. I have a great group of regulars and i make new friends each week. Its different for me and I choose to not show it all ( mostly nude but cover up a little) and my guys understand but still think I'm awesome!

 

[LaceyRoyce]

*waves* if you need another curvy girl doing well on camsites in this thread, hiii. I've been camming full time for 6 years and would consider myself successful.

I'm certainly not a BBW but im not petite either. If you find yourself surrounded by women with very different body types than you, all this means is you'll get noticed. You can grab that by the balls and rock it.

 

[Rebel_Wood]

I'm a curvy girl and whilst I wouldn't class myself as a 'successful' camgirl (mainly due to working a vanilla job as well so I'm unable to log on as often as I'd like) I do pretty well for myself and I think I've only ever had one negative comment in the year that I've cammed and it got shut down by other members in my room, which was really nice to see!

 

[SaffronBurke]

I just wanted to talk a little more about this.

I see girls get so self-conscious about things like stretch marks and cellulite, and you know what? Most, if not all, women have them. Most people have stretch marks, period, just from that good ol' puberty thing that happens to everybody - hips grow, boobs grow, muscles grow, and these all cause stretch marks. I've seen very slim women who still have cellulite, because that's how the estrogen levels in our body cause fat deposits to look, regardless of our size or health level. It's part of being human. Anybody who is going to judge and insult another human for having normal human features shouldn't be looking at naked people. because we all have those things.

 

[Jessica_Fox]

I adore how body positive the replies on this thread are My personal experience is that I do better on cam when carying a bit more weight, I feel more comfotable with myself when I'm smaller but that's different for everyone, just like attraction, it's all subjective Congrats on the weight loss, keep up the good work getting your body how you want it to look, just remember to also embrace yourself on your way to an end goal

 

[Ivy Adams]

Congrats on the weight loss OP!

This thread is great, so much body positivity

I definitely think that it comes down to what YOU are comfortable with, because that is what's going to come across on cam. Whether you have curves or are skinny minnie- your personality and your confidence will be what makes you money....and FUCK the people who try to tell you any different.

You're welcome to come in my room anytime and hang out, get some ideas and whatnot! I play around with angles and know which way I look best, I'm not big but I have curves for sure ( mostly hips, butt, and thighs).

My profile is Mfc.im/Avanikki

I'll be on most nights 10:30pm Est

 

[Lelo1]

All my favorite models are curvy.

 

[EllaGray]

Ahh I'm super happy about reading this thread. I am also on the heavier side, not quite a BBW though and I am on a regimen to lose weight before I hit MFC, but its amazing to see other ladies killing it so much while having varying body types. Love it.

 

[DestinyDiaz]

Plus size girl here. BBW is kind of in right now, its one of the most searched categories on ManyVids. I've had much success being a thick/curvy girl in this cam industry. I just like that the camera only shows what I want people to see. Knowing your best angles can/will make you more confident on cam (at least it has for me)

Also , Happy Birthday Ava, I tried to wish you a happy birthday on twitter but it appears that your link here is broken?

Sweetheart, as a 58 y.o. mature model I have been very pleasantly surprised by how friendly and complimentary guys can be. Don't feel self-conscious please. "Variety really is the spice of life"... there's something/someone for everyone out there and my personality is almost as big as my boobs! I've found webcamming to be a far more positive experience than I thought it'd be, so hang in there.

I've been called all sorts like granny, mammy, an old slut, etc. but by a very few guys. They've been corrected and most have apologised and refer to me now as "mature", lol! Those that didn't have either been silenced or politely told to do one.
My room, my rules, my way, my comfort zone.

Just be yourself - it gets easier xx

Awe thank you!!! I'll check it out and fix it, Thank you for bringing it to my attention

 

[elena_darling]

I started broadcasting last week and was sooo nervous because I have a bit of a belly and didn't feel like I had the "right look" to be a model but was so pleasantly surprised.

Guys have given me a compliment on everything I've shown em: belly, tan lines, big ol butt. And, of course, anyone who has less than praises to offer get booted out real quick

 

[DezDemancy]

Every night someone comes into my my room and says "thank god finally a thick woman" or like "daaammnn a real woman with curves, you're perfect" all kind of complimentary shit that having recently gained fifty pounds I'm just like ....ok...thank you.!? Starting CB made me so aware of the unnecessary battles we have with our bodies. I need to go find 6th grade me to be like "GIRL mixed race is lucky, thick eyebrows will be SO IN and in the future men you've never met will want to give you money for that armpit hair!" I realize the more I show of that I'm insecure about, my smile for example, the more that's what people come to my room to see. So I guess you just have to take what you've got, mostly it just takes time to build a following.

 

[ExcellaExe]

I've been labeled thick by my regulars, and yeah, I get regulars. I actually just landed one that consistently pays me tips every time he's in my room, and I am NOT thin. I'm about 188 lbs right now at 5'8", which is technically overweight, but I get fairly good traffic. There's a market for curvy girls, and the guys that come to our rooms and tip tend to stay because it's what they like. Granted, I want to lose about twenty pounds to tighten things up, but I AM going to stay 'thick' because that's where I'm marketable.
