Your poor poor eyes. Maybe you should pluck them out?
Of course he knows how he wears his jeans. Why do you think he bought the 38s?? Calling it denial is bullshit.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I can understand why Trump would be an arrogant prick. But I don’t understand why Trump’s personal ass-wiper would be one too.
It’s really not that difficult of a concept, Mr.Nylock.
Really? You ever want to address my husband’s situation with your broad brush? I’ll be over here, waiting, for you to studiously ignore it so you can keep espousing that faulty world view to, what? Make yourself feel better.
Or perhaps, now you feel like you have to reply… hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Best to just tell me to calm down instead, right?
And you think you’re in the position to talk about this? Really?
You know what happens to the older male body? (Not always, but often.) The gut comes out and the butt disappears. That makes pants extremely difficult to fit and to keep on. My husband has a classic Tweedledum shape. Skinny little legs, no ass to speak of and a huge hard round belly. In his case, it’s about 40% due to abdominal obesity and 60% due to 7 or 8 inoperable abdominal hernias. He has a choice: wear elastic waistbands that stretch over his belly and bear the mockery of Old Man Pants or wear slacks or jeans under the belly and bear the mockery of Huge Gut Hanging Out with a bonus side order of Plumber’s Crack (because there’s no adipose tissue behind to hold the back waist up.) Suspenders help a little bit, but cause ulcerative sores where the clips clip in front. Belts don’t help much, and again sores from the buckles.
At home, he wears sweats over the belly, which is far more comfortable. When out, he wears pants under with the longest shirts he can find (3X Tall) to try to protect your delicate sensibilities.
So, short of moving to Morocco where he could wear long gowns as a culturally acceptable alternative, if anyone has any other suggestions as to how he could dress better, we’re all ears.
Absolutely. I worked hard to get a job that pays well, take care of my body, dress in clothes that fit properly, keep my house clean and organized, and married a woman not only beautiful but incredibly hardworking who holds me to equally high standards. I see a correlation between the effort we put in our appearance, our surroundings, and our attitudes in general. Not surprisingly, I see people on either end of this spectrum. One one extreme the fat disorganized slobs that act like they don’t care how they dress but deep inside feel both helpless yet too lazy to do anything about it. On the other extreme are the people who take care of their bodies, take pride in themselves and their surroundings, and have a job they like.
But medical issues just don’t matter, doncha know?! Because that’s all just BS to cover for their laziness, lack of self-respect for themselves and others, and need to push their agendas on these poor hothouse flowers who are subjected to seeing them in public. Geez. Get with the program.
:smack:
And my husband dresses exactly the same way… sweats with long enough shirts to deal with the situation until his condition improves again and he can finally get off these God awful meds that are causing the weight gain. Then he can go back to his “less offensive” clothes.
So, ignoring it is. Can’t. Stop. Laughing.
As you’re patting yourself on the back, consider the possibility that all the fat slobs you look down upon probably think their lives are as grand as yours. Yes, I know, it’s totally hard to believe! But that’s the thing about lacking self awareness. You can’t see your own ugly deficiencies. Like a personality that stinks up the room.
If they did, they wouldn’t be so defensive and insecure about other people giving them feedback. The internet has a capacity to be a huge hugbox for people to whine about problems they are too lazy to fix. Whats hilarious is the defensiveness of some people. In life, you have to have a thick skin, put aside how other comments make you insecure and think about how you can benefit from those comments. If you’re so fat your bellyroll flumps down past your shirt, and are upset that people comment on it, what is easier to do: find clothes that fit better or somehow force everybody on the planet to stop making comments about it?
For example, say a man is walking around with his zipper open. He didn’t pay enough attention after he got dressed to zip it up, and now he is walking around with his fly wide open. If someone brings it to his attention, he can either A. Ignore them, B. Get defensive about it, or C. Do something about it. Slobs are much more likely to pick option ‘B’. If they really didn’t care, they would ignore all the comments and just walk around with their fly open. If they cared and were self-aware about it, they would zip up their zipper when someone made them aware. But unfortunately they dont care enough to do anything about it except cry about how people are being mean bullies to them.
Do you actually give fat people this feedback in real life? Like, unsolicited feedback? And you don’t think that’s rude?
You really are kind of clueless, aren’t you?
Yeah, sure, uh huh, I scream at fat, poorly-dressed people for ten hours straight at work where there are 6 CCTV cameras and one extremely sensitive microphone behind the driver’s seat :rolleyes: .
The subject is tight clothes on fat bodies. Telling someone on the street that their fly is open is not equivalent to telling someone that they are too fat for their clothes. So what kind of feedback are you really talking about? I don’t care how secure a person is, they will not take too kindly to a prick who feels it necessary to comment on them personally.
So if you were walking around on the sidewalk with an accidentally-exposed boob, and some stranger brought it to your attention, you wouldn’t do anything about it? How dare they point it out, right? Its nobody’s business, I’m sure. Nobody is going to say anything about it.
A wardrobe malfunction is not the same thing as wearing tight pants, dude.
Do you think your wife would appreciate if some random stranger pointed out her visible panty line? If she’s as assertive as you’ve made her out to be, she’d probably tell that random stranger to go get a fuckin’ life and stop looking at her ass. Because it’s no one’s business whether she has VPL or not. I don’t think this response would indicate that your wife is hypersensitive or possesses a “hugbox” mentality. It would indicate that she doesn’t care what random strangers think with regard to her clothing choices.
You seem to think everyone else should care what you, the random stranger, thinks at the expense of what the people who matter to us most thinks. If a fat woman has a man who loves when she puts all that junk in some tight-ass jeans, guess what? She’s going to be wearing some tight-ass jeans, and your opinion won’t matter one bit to her. And that is a healthy attitude.
What’s easier to do, tuck in the pannus or magically have every person on the planet never comment ever ever? Which of those two things is easier to do, and which does the person in question have more control over?
Analogies aren’t your strong suit are they?
What the hell does “tuck in the pannus” mean, and how does it relate to tight clothing?
What’s easier for you to do? Keep your opinions to yourself and go about your business without dwelling on the habits of other people, like 99% of the rest of the world manages to do? Or criticize others like you’re in a position to criticize anyone, and then repeatedly feign ignorance when people tell you to STFU?
That’s an interesting justification you’ve come up with for your own rudeness.
Amen. It’s like he thinks his opinion is of enough value to change a stranger’s behavior. Lol
If someone wears pants so tight that their genitals are at risk of strangulation, and yet that pain isn’t severe enough to change their behavior, by what mechanism will feedback from a busybody who is overly impressed with the cleanliness of his own house and the averageness of his own paycheck do the trick?
