That makes sense. The thing I forgot to include in post #1 is I wonder whether truly "curvy" women tend to noticeably fluctuate in weight and post just the pics from the skinnier phases. I personally wouldn't want to be with someone who sometimes looks unattractive to me, and, er, I believe most curvy women will be heavy by menopause anyway, so the current veracity of the weight isn't even my main aesthetic concern.

The perils of modern technology. T-shirt with a slogan on it or something so that there's almost no chance it's shapewear.

But yeah, if photos were time-stamped, much misrepresentation would disappear from OLD. I personally have not been tricked in a weight-related way, but I have run into some dishonesty that probably has increased my hesitance toward the nebulous "curvy" (anything from a Playmate to Tess Holliday). I think most people who have used OLD for a while have been burned in some way.
Well, when you put out posts likes these, it paints you in a negative light. I'm not sure what you expected…
I mean, you say offensive things - people are going to react!
I used the description "curvy" when I was a size 14/16 and "average" when I was a size 10-10/12. Both descriptors were accurate at the time I used them.
