Why are fat women bigger assholes about there weight than men? They also tend to be real picky WTF? I’m 5′6” and weigh like 230 and I always catch beautiful women either staring like schoolgirls or actually flirting with me. It seems that 9 times out of 10 when I do ask out larger women they act like I’m not even worth they’re time. The secret, be confident when enter a room act like you own it anyone man or woman can tell. Just know your the s**t everyones gonna catch on.

I am a smaller woman and yet I have always loved men with some meat on their bones. I am 5′3, 113lbs and my husband is 6′1 and 240lbs and I find him and men like him very very sexy. I would rather a larger man then a skinny little guy that can wear my clothes. Sexy Sexy big men!

Well that’s a problem larger than USA… I’m a 32 yo european and i’ve been fat all my life. Living in Europe and being fat suck more then living in The States because somehow people here are more self aware and let’s say into fashion. Recently i started to fight with my demons and get slimmer because, besides the looks, being fat can get us into health problems (i’m a smoker, too). Anyway, considering all the things I’ve experienced so far, my conclusion is that if you HAVE STYLE, being fat becomes a part of your charisma. Cause let’s face it, a chunky man entering a room draws attention :). So Joel’s right: try to live healty, but feel good with yourself.
Now the style is a totally different issue. Clothes are basicaly our projection of ourselves, so try to focus rather on your qualities than on you being fat. Start from here: fat people are usually happier, kinder, more sensitive and project an optimistic image. Think about this: did you ever posted a stupid comment on sites talking about the acnea or hair loss? Hey, KURT, dealing with your inferiority complex can be hard when you don’t know where to start. So try to defulate on other sites. Porn helps sometimes.
Hope this helps, as much as i enjoyed reading you thoughts. Stay happy!

PS: The dark colours are a good idea, but don’t try to wear them on summer.

As a bigger guy I’d just like to mention one thing. Although the “dark is better” rule is true(ish) it also has a flip side. How often have you seen a woman wearing a black top, black pants and a bright scarf? Does this not just scream insecure? The same is true for us. Dark means not pastel, not light gray, not white. It doesn’t mean all navy and black. Buy some red, green, bright blue…if the colour is pretty, or even “brings out your eyes” that is more important then “keep it dark”.

I too am in the too fat to be cool catagory. I am 5′10 255 range, and untill i started gaining weight I was very “cool” but now things have changed and I found it harder and harder to keep that look. For some reason fasion designers dont want to make cool suff for fat people…just sweats and t-shirts. This was till I found Nordstrom. Look, heres the deal. You are going to have to shell out some cash, but if you spend some time with their sales people, they will make you look like a million bucks, and when you look in the mirror, you will be happy with what you see…I know I am. And when I loose a few pounds, I can have the clothes taylored a few times to stay with me.

I actually see what you are talking about, I mean I am past my weight and what I used to do was wear large or x-large/34 instead of medium/32 which is what I do. Also one of the things I’ve come to realize is that although image is important, personality can take a lot of pounds off of you in a person’s eyes. Meaning that as long as you are comftarble with yourself, people will be able to see that and it will be easier. Ha I just wanted to add that to all of those who need advice.

Fat guys have smelly, sweaty weiners and their butts sweat more, therefore they smell rancid. I am glad you mentioned that men wash everyday, however, most of you need to wash TWICE a day. I go to a gym, and boyyy do you guys smell bad when you sweat. Ok, I think I’m gay now!

The first decent site I have found after 30 minutes of trying to find brands of trousers that fit guys that have larger hips/thighs. Unfortunately you are all on the other side of the world, but its nice to know that somewhere there are men that are having the same issues as me!

If anybody could point me in the direction of some sort of rules on what to wear for larger male body shapes, and some recommendation of where to get 36-38″ trousers that have larger hip/thigh width in England, for the love of god, please let me know!

Nice…….. Kurt you should be nicer to obese people most likely it wasn’t really their fault… Could have started young when they didn’t care what they ate or out of depression of something tragic that happened and could have eaten since that is one of the things people do when depressed. I bet theres one obese person who looks hotter than you do somewhere in the world ;) because you can be some skinny guy with real pale skin and a truck load of acne and the size of a stick. There should also be help for people to skinny because my friend is super thin, but he eats more than I do like I can eat about one big hamburger and he will eat about 5-6 since his metabolism is fast, but he’s trying to gain weight since hes thin as a stick(his nickname is bones)… :( cool post :)

As for you Kurt, the price you will pay for having a perfect body and perfect life is you will burn in hell for all eternity.

How bout shorts… all the normal stores seem to have shorts that are way to long. Anyone have any tips here?.

Yes, Bugger Kurt. I’ve always been told–well, ever since I joined the legions of men of substance anwyay–that buying a suit one size larger (not longer) is slimming. I believe it. Dark. Everything other than suits are harder to generalize about.

I have to second William. Why is there always a 34×36 pair of pants, but no 38×36? WTF? Most guys my height (6′4″) tend to be fairly large overall, and as we get older we spread a bit in the middle (235 lb).

Note: this is not necessarily a problem with suits, because they are custom hemmed, but I can’t find a pair of khakis to save my arse.

Kurt, you’re an ass. I guess you are perfect in every way and have no flaws. That being said, I agree 100% with Four to the Side, if you have a large neck, buy a shirt with a large neck. If you want to look good in clothes, it may be necessary to stop shopping in clearance and get clothes that fit right. It WILL improve your look and the clothes will last longer.
