This is a genuine question because I know that I overthink.

If someone says that they think you are hot but only ever post and boost body types that are nowhere even similar to yours, do you believe them?

I struggle to believe that people who, over months of image sharing have only posted/boosted slender models mean it when they say that they like mine.

My images contain fat.

Please reply with your views.

@ht_honey some people do like a large range of bodies. For me, the intent and feeling behind a picture is almost as hot as the image itself. The energy of confidence and pleasure coming through a picture that someone has taken and then decided to share of themselves? So hot!! They would be beautiful!
@fuzzypeach This. So much this. I don't have a type but I definitely have energy responses.

@ht_honey @fuzzypeach I would add my +1 to this too. There are people I follow (and my follow is a sign of their value to me) but that doesn't mean I boost everything they post. For me a boost requires to be a special or outstanding picture (whatever that means) and thats usually judged in the moment, according to mood, etc.

In other words, not every photo deserves special praise or recommendation but it doesn't necessarily mean anything nefarious is going on if it doesn't get it.

@black_flag @fuzzypeach So to be clear, this wasn't a complaint about not being boosted. It was about the discrepancy between words in private and what they share in public.

It was not about whether they comment, boost etc my images. I don't think that I have explained it well.

@ht_honey Perhaps I have also not been concentrating. My head is a shed. Sorry Honey.
@black_flag Don't worry. I think that I whinge about self esteem and body image too much and that when I am trying to talk about different nuances of posting and messages, it's lost. Amd I can't illustrate what I mean without showing examples and that leads to other problems.
