I’ve been performing an informal survey with about 60 girls with whom I am acquainted, attempting to find a relationship between height and propensity for thong-wearing. (I had this crazy idea that shorter girls were more likely to wear them)
It should be noted that all subjects were all college students between 18 and 24, and all were between 104 and 134 pounds. The tallest was 6’1", and the shortest 4’9".
The results were interesting, to say the least; my height theory was completely wrong- as it turned out, 44 girls were “regular” or “always” thong wearers, and 30 of those were over 5’4".
So, my theory seems to be backward.
Now, I need a larger and more varied sample, so I would appreciate it if any of our less inhibited Dopettes could weigh in with their preference…
That’s hardly surprising … you try wearing a thong, and see if you don’t gain a few inches “reaching for the sky” in an attempt to escape the “cheesewire effect” …
Okay, what the hell. I wear them on occassion…in total, an estimated 10% of time spent in underwear. I’m 5’8," 145lbs.
Do they make me feel taller? No. I’ve never noticed any correlation between any type of underwear and how tall I felt, a height which I’ve been comfortable with and wouldn’t want to change one way or the other anyway.
What made you think there might be sort of connection in the first place, dutchboy208?
Well actually this whole thing began when I bet a friend I could find out what kind of underwear a certain girl in a bar was wearing without getting slapped… turns out all you have to do is claim the information is for “scientific purposes” and the risk of violent reprisal disappears…
People keep saying that, so I keep trying them, and they just keep on sucking big sweaty donkey balls. They’re okay for lounging around the house, or for car trips, but they just don’t do it for days when you have to actually move around. After a couple of hours of physical labor, they chafe.
The 6’1" girl wasn’t even the 134-pounder- she weighed in at 129. Skinny as a rail- she was a model with the company I worked for until last week, and every time I saw her I was tempted to get something from the vending machine and make her eat it.
Are visible panty lines really such a bad thing? I’m all in favor of thongs, but on the grounds that I find them much more attractive by themselves; why exactly is it so bad that people might know you’re wearing full-coverage underwear?
I wasn’t planning on getting any more nosy, but if future posters wish to follow your model you won’t catch me complaining…
I had a feeling that remark would provoke some responses. But according to your source, “The lowest mortality rates from all causes were found among study subjects having a BMI of between 23.5-24.9 for men and 22.0-23.4 for women.” So a woman who is 6’1" would have an ideal weight of 166-178, according to that source. I’m not saying that she is sick or anorexic, but she’s underweight enough to justify being examined by a doctor.
Thongs are vile inventions. Never wear them. Why would shorter women wear them? I’m puzzled. Just can’t see a connection between shortness and butt flossing.
Oh, what the hell, I’ll answer.
5’1", average weight. I wear thongs some of the time—when I’m wearing something tighter across the arse and I don’t want visible panty lines. Yes, dutchboy, I find VPLs a bad thing. Not so much because “everyone will know I’m wearing full-coverage underwear”, but because if the VPLs look lumpy and bumpy under what is supposed to be a smooth expanse of fabric, they will call attention to that area, and NOT in a good way.
I don’t at all feel taller in thongs. Unless I happen to be standing next to someone even shorter than I, and then it’s just coincidence anyhow.
