(April 13, 2020, 2:45 pm)Akhenaten Imagine if an absolutely huge, hairy bear of a man approached you in the gym and asked if he could feel your... calves. They're just calves, right? No big deal? C'mon, just a squeeze? They look great, how long have you been working on them?

You probably don't want that guy in your space, and you probably don't want him touching your body at all. And who could blame you?

As a straight man who wants people to respect my personal space and who only wants to get physical with women I'm intimate with, that's the best approximation I can come up with for how a woman probably feels when someone does what you did. I don't want to speak for anyone, of course, but I'm trying to make it make sense from where someone like me stands.

That analogy is spot on and hilarious as well . C'mon just a squeeze

(April 10, 2020, 10:21 pm)Bellyfan27 Damn. Well you probably don't remember my controversial "Today I Talked to a Pregnant Woman" thread but back in I think 2017 I asked a pregnant stranger at a water park if I could feel her belly and she declined. You did do a decent way in approaching, when the area is mostly empty to avoid people looking at you weird. Mine was a bit more risky because there was a decent amount of people there. Your approach was probably too ballsy anyway. My questions for you are:
1. What did you say when you walked up to her?
2. Was she on a machine or working out at all when you asked her?
3. What did she say after?
4. What did you say to apologize?
5. How did you go about the rejection?

you are a gross clod.

i get that you can't control your urges, but just stop encouraging others to engage in creepy, predatory behaviour.

I'm not encouraging him you fucking chode

 Before I begin let me start by saying some of the dudes in here go too far. Admin needs to do a better job of weeding the people with bad overly aggressive attitudes out of here. Anyone that has a history of using foul language needs to be removed. You can disagree with someone in an intelligent manner without all of the vulgar over the top rudeness I've seen go on in here.

Now to my point. After reading a few threads of guys who have had bad experiences with asking random pregnant women in public places for belly feels I have come to the conclusion that asking for a belly feel is something you should not do unless you know the woman personally and the request can be handled in private. I don't think the answers to these questions matter:

1. What did you say when you walked up to her?
2. Was she on a machine or working out at all when you asked her?
3. What did she say after?
4. What did you say to apologize?
5. How did you go about rejection?

Despite the success, some guys have had there is really no right way to approach a complete stranger and ask if you can touch them. Making a successful attempt comes down to luck. Yes, some approaches may make you look less threatening and depending on the woman's mood may make her think it is okay to let you touch her but don't think that because it worked once or twice it's going to work every time. You will certainly get more rejections than successes and getting a few seconds to feel a pregnant woman's belly is not worth the risk of suffering an awkward embarrassing rejection.

Ok. Maybe we all got off on the wrong foot. I apologize for my behavior. I just wanted to sound smart to be honest in my original reply. Let's just all be friends on here because I think that drama on a fetish site is just more toxic than actual drama. Let's just put this behind us and move on with our lives.

No drama needed, everything is OK. Let's just agree to be respectful of women (well, of everyone) and I think it's all good.

I’d say a vital point that hasn’t been mentioned is when it comes to people you know already like friends, family, or co-workers. Don’t assume that just because you know them well compared to the complete stranger you asked that they would let you feel their belly. Consent is important here. I wouldn’t even try unless they first offered if I’d like to feel it, and even then I might be a bit hesitant.

Plus, isn’t there a pandemic going on? Don’t you think it would be better you kept distance from others, especially ones at risk like pregnant women?

Overall, don’t try to solicit belly rubs from anyone. A few seconds of rubbing might satisfy your loins, but it’s not worth the trouble or the invasion of privacy. Just saying that because that’s the general attitude. I’ve seen too many people on here who feel entitled to feel and touch bellies just because they want to. @Akhenaten made a great analogy that holds up. Just think before you act, people.
