Hi I realized as a man, one way I seem to differ from a lot of the M/f community is that I just enjoy when a woman shrinks and keeps her clothes on and just cute stuff happens. I love romantic interactions, I love the trust that’s built, the voice becoming higher pitched, and the emotions and struggles that a woman goes through when she’s shrunk. But I never imagine being cruel or anything like that, I’m a gentle giant. Stuff like Violet Goes to the Beach, or stuff like the art below, I just really enjoy that kind of connection and a woman wanting to look pretty while the man is comforting, keeps her safe, and takes care of her. I know some people are like, half into the cuddles and half into the sexual stuff, but for me it’s like full-on cuteness and fluff and sexually I’m satisfied by that and grossed out by nudity. Anyone else relate?

Always been a fan of a woman shrinking and I am normal sized There’s something really cute an intimate when a woman shrinks, and wants to look cute at the same time, the array of emotions she experiences while becoming smaller is amazing to me.

First moments of a date…I like to imagine both wanting her to become smaller, so as they build a connection, she continues to shrink

@TakoAlice8 Hi this makes sense to me, as a man who is “into” tiny ladies, I think my experience is more along the lines of making a size dysphoric woman feel more comfortable by constantly calling her tiny, small, short, any words that let her know I see her in that kind of light. I am a pretty monogamous and romantic person by nature, and for me it makes sense to constantly comfort a person in this way because genuinely I “LOVE” making them feel so small, over and over again, like a tourettes tick.

I think worrying about body image is also relatively normal. I started working out a couple years ago, and as I developed muscles, I started to connect it with my identity. I started to “see myself” more in my fantasies with tiny women, rather than just seeing them in a 3rd person kind of way because I used to be so skinny. It’s like “wanting” my body to look a certain way, though I don’t think for me it’s dysphoric because, well I’m a man into tiny women. But it’s kind of cool to see the slow (like years-long slow) but progressive transformation.

The other way I relate to you is through my addiction. I have an addiction to screens, and the thing is as I “fight” my addiction more, the more shame I feel about it. I’ve had to learn how to be kind to myself when I’m having a relapse and how to manage my addiction through a combination of self-compassion and genuine hard work. The working out stuff is related as it helps me with the addiction stuff. But basically I wonder if you feel like this, kind of way, and the difficulty of dealing with it like this. Maybe so maybe not.

Really appreciate you being vulnerable about this, it’s a neat topic I hope that I didn’t invalidate any of your experience through my perspective.

Oh and another way I relate - I’m 6’0 so usually I don’t feel a dysphoria, but being around taller men especially does give me a sense of dysphoria, like if a guy is 6’4 and has way bigger hands than me, I get this weird sense of maybe jealousy or insecurity inside. It’s kinda rare but it does happen. Similarly being around taller women makes me feel uncomfortable. When I’m the tallest person in the room, it feels “right”

@foreverlurk Oh man I’m sorry. My aunt has that, and it looks terrifying. I wonder how you can ensure that it’s not your fate… lol. I know for me about 4 years ago after a 3673905489th binge of youtube and video games until 9 am in the morning, while COVID was going on, I went to bed and was uncontrollably shaking. It was my “rock bottom”. I never want to lose control of my body like that again. In my 20s it was like “oh it’s fine I’m fine” but that was my wake up call. I’m 34 now and I do a lot to keep up my physical health (It’s an on-and-off thing of course, motivation comes and goes)… I guess it taught me to not take my physical health for granted.

@foreverlurk Really sorry to hear that about your physical self worth. How is aging affecting you?
