Do the girls earn a good living modeling?

Recommended Posts

I just finished reading Jabba's post about the health risks of obesity and it got me wondering...Do these web models make good money doing what they do?  I certainly hope it is worth their while financial, especially for the girls who purposely gain 200+ pounds.  Or do they mostly do it because they have the same attraction to fat that many of the rest of us do.

I rarely enter this section of curvage so don't get angry if this has been previously discussed. :)

Feedist content sells well because there are so few girls who go from thin to fat. There isn't enough content available due to the lack of gainers, so the few girls catering to this particular subniche will always make good money. Even just selling a single ten minute video can net them more money than working a few weeks at a 9-5 job. Some of the models make thousands a week. 

I've only spoken to two feedees who were not interested in making money from gaining. Most feel they deserve to be compensated for the risks and costs involved.

Whatever anyone says on here, there is probably a lot of variety. Even if you talk to several models, you don't know enough to generalize. I would guess the BigCuties models are doing ok. But I don't think every feedee on a clipsite makes a lot of money.

I meant the thin to fat feedees - those are the most popular on clips4sale. Natty the Fatty was 40 yrs old and was number one in several categories for months there. I do think that the majority of gainers starting thin can expect to earn a lot of money. Guys literally beg feedees to take their money, because they like knowing they are are contributing to their gain. And the progressive nature of gaining means guys will feel compelled to see them go from thin to fat (meaning guaranteed sales as long as she continues to gain). The niche is not as competitive as general BBW, mainly due to there being so few gainers starting out thin.

I agree with everything you say but the question of how much profit these girls make is still just speculation.  Yes it is a "niche" but a very small niche, and there is also the factor of how many of us in this "niche" actually "shell out" money for a short video clip.  I guess I can safely assume that, like any other venture, some do really well and some don't.  In my original question, I was just wondering how lucrative it could be.

Girls that make the top of the front page at Clips4sale made several thousand per week. Those towards the bottom only a thousand or so. Ive seen several gainers on the front page, usually the thin to fat feedees.

The smaller niches are the most profitable. In the porn industrry, the conversion ratio for subniches is 1:150 compared to 1:3000 for general niches. (I was an adult webmaster for 7 years, and my best selling sites were the really unique ones like panty pissing, sissy maids, balloon popping, etc)

It is possible to gain on less than $100 per week, so the expense is not that much -  and feedees get a lot of random donations (without expectations of anything in return besides getting fatter and documenting their gain). New clothing every few months can add up, unless shes willing to shop at thrift stores.

  • Curvage Model

I pay my rent, car insurance, etc..  From videos. I would also say a huge factor is the site the model goes through..  If they are going through c4s they get a rather large chunk of their money kept by the site..  So,  obviously that would make it just that much harder to make money. That is why I model here on curvage, and on youtube. Curvage is very fair as far as the percentage goes.

I am glad to know that you can earn enough to pay those expenses...  :)

I find it kinda sad that anything I wrote could be considered a revelation or epiphany when it comes to medicine or health.   Obviously I'm flattered and grateful that I'm helping to spark a thoughtful conversation, but to answer your question....no.  No amount of money made from any cam-sites, webmodeling, or even some high-priced call girls could come close recuperating financially or emotionally from the major setbacks related to disease and medical complications that could arise from gaining literally hundreds of pounds intentionally.  And needless to say, nothing of that nature is worth dying over.  Sorry.

I never meant to imply that it was worth the risk.  I don't believe that it is, but that is clearly an individual decision.  On the contrary, I was simply wondering what kind of financial motive would entice these girls into jeopardizing their health.

Sorry, I was exhausted...I misread your post.  I'm sure the actual figures are but google's search away.  A decent living can definitely be earned....and has been many times.

I have known several gaining models over the years, still friends with some. The rent is paid and that's pretty much it, unless, like one I know, you find a wealthy male who gifts you things including cash for, um, a special relationship.

Efforts by certain unnamed models to go on TV and completely sensationalize what they're doing are to increase cash flow, nothing more.

They can't be faulted - one has to make a living and if someone will pay you to get fat and it turns you on, well...there you are.

Also, some of the big models are hardcore lesbian, though they pretend otherwise. :) 

A gal's gotta eat! Or, in some cases, eat and eat and eat and...

Like many people under the age of 35 or 40 "Your health" doesn't really come into it in an obvious way beyond "unfit" and perhaps a little back or knee pain after walking more than a little while.

What you can't see is the fat surrounding your liver, or how much harder your heart has to work to pump blood through a body that isn't meant to be 100 or 200 or 300 pounds over what's considered "normal," or what the inside of your arteries look like, and so on.  

Once you hit 40, man, it's dramatic, how fast and how serious and how irreversible some of the damage is unless drastic steps are undertaken, like the diabetes that's been on its way since your 20s, or the cancer, or the heart problems.

When you're young and fat and you have beautiful men from all over the world telling you how sexy you are, it's hard to think about "the risks." These girls have lives in the real world beyond this little fat-appreciating one, and that world is decidedly hostile - workplace, coffee shops, parties, family gatherings, the street. As my last GF said "I never forget I'm fat the second I leave the house and go out in public." 

Into this BBW, SSBBW world you can plunge, grow fatter and fatter, and get sweet applause. Maybe even a husband, if that's what you're looking for.

Longterm health risks? Not something you think about when you're 22 and 300 pounds.

and all of the arousal, sexiness, lust, disappears with age.  As someone once said "Young fat is sexy.  Old fat is not."

The window of people who are attracted to old and fat is smaller, but it exists. I've met two men whose girfriends were at least 20 years older than them, and they weren't shy about talking about it, especially after I shared I am attracted to fat and supersize women. 

One of my ex-girlfriends, too, had a serious "old" fetish. Not "older." Old. We were walking one day on the boardwalk of a beach and an elderly man passed us in the opposite direction. After he got out of earshot, she said to me "I'd like to suck his cock."

It's out there, baby. Sexuality is the most powerful thing on earth - look at how many of us there are!

How do you define "elderly?"  "Old" is relative and subjective.  So it depends on what you mean by "old."  If you're 20, you would probably say that 50 is old. I need a fat girl with an "old" fetish... :rolleyes:

Actually, I think older women look better when they are fat or at least plump. And those that look the best are those who were fat (in more all-over kind of way) to start with, not those who got fot once menopause set in... i think that's because in menopause women tend to gain more according to male pattern since their estrogen levels drop. Meanwhile, those who have more fat when entering menopause retain more estrogen since subcutaneous fat contributes to estrogen production.
