Umm excuse me. Not everyone likes bony toothpicks who eat an almond a day.

Didn't think this needed it's own thread
=================================================
While attending Mass at the University of Notre Dame last fall, Maryann White saw something that horrified her: leggings.

A group of young women, all clad in clingy Spandex and short tops, were sitting directly in front of her and her family.

Funny -- I would have thought it awesome that all these likely hung-over young women were getting up and going to Mass on Sunday instead of sleeping in.

Don't take my post the wrong way. There are absolutely things men should not wear. I'm 50 years old and far from my days as shirtless Adonis. I wouldn't even consider wearing bike shorts or stretchy crotch grabbing pants anywhere, much less in public. I wouldn't wear a crop top shirt nor would I wear those silly, but hip stretchy dress shirts that are intentionally 2 sizes too small. I'm not going to be parading around in a mesh half-shirt or a muscle / tank unless I'm 100 miles offshore fishing.

What's good for girls is good for guys.

That said, if you're not damn near anorexic skinny, you should not wear stretchy pantyhose pants in public. My daughter and wife both are, but it's just not a look I think should be presented. It's immodest at best and unfortunate for even perfectly healthy people.

Call me old fashioned. I won't invite you to a pool party and show up in a speedo either.

wait one minute here. I am deeply upset with some of your statements. Are you telling me after waiting all these years and after all the football conversations we have had. I WILL NOT EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE YOU IN A MESH SKIN TIGHT SHIRT!

My life is now a failure.

Not unless you take him fishing.

No, Detective. I am going to save you from your own worst desires and keep my skin tight mesh shirts in a closet where they belong.

I have seen most of you in skin tight mesh shirts. A lot of you folk are heavy sleepers.

On a side note: The entire sexy at any size body positivity movement really isn't healthy. It is not helpful to tell people they are still sexy when morbidly obese.

If I'm walking behind a fit sexy girl in skin tight stretchy thin pants my eyes are going to be fixed right on that backside and all the thoughts that you can imagine going through a guys head in such a circumstance are going through my head.

If it's a fatty in skin tight pants I just don't look. Problem solved.

The issue with being morbidly obese is that it's massively unhealthy, limits what people can do every day, and means they'll very likely die a lot sooner than they would otherwise.

I don't think adding, "and you shouldn't wear leggings, also you're ugly" really contributes much to that in the first place, so I don't see people disagreeing as particularly unhelpful. If anything, putting the focus on looks in the first place is unhelpful.

What is healthy isn’t always dependent on size though. The three people I know who are size O or 2 all have either eating disorders or smoke. None of them are physically fit, nor healthy. Know 4 size 6 women two are tiny people in great shape. One is in horrible physical condition as she has never met a beer or soda she didn’t like, just doesn’t eat. Other one is dying of intestinal cancer. Yet again her size made her look great, but physical shape has always been poor. Look at any of them in leggings they all look good, yet healthy hardly except the two. Then you have my wife size 16. Ooooo. Fattie. Gonna die right? Blood panel is perfect. Blood pressure 125/82. Skeletal size is huge and spent her life in sports that required strength because she screwed up a knee in middle school. Was a determined weight lifter for about 5 years, along with a bike rider because she can’t run due to her knee. Yeah she carries around extra weight because this latest job is a huge drain on time. However, even at her physical peak I’ve never seen her under a size 12. Health isn’t determined in size only. I’m 5’9” 242. Fattie by most accounts. When my knee cooperates I can run a 10 min mile with little worries, last 5k I did was 29 min. Gotta love meniscus tears. Here again my blood panel is perfect. Resting heart rate 62. Blood pressure on vacation is 115/70. Built like a stump and in my previous youthful existence loved my weights. I always get the lecture about how I should lose weight from my doctor also. However other than weight on a scale, there is no other health risk. So no, I don’t default to skinny=healthy and the sliding scale of death the further you get away from toothpick. Lots of other factors that go into it.

I agree with most of your points in here. I know plenty of skinny-fat people - B UT - just because you're heavier and have good blood panels and blood pressure, being overweight is hard on your skeletal system, ligaments, etc. So it is still unhealthy/not ideal. As you age, that extra weight makes moving around harder and harder to do. Once you stop moving around, the other internal health issues begin to follow.

Why not just say no yoga pants or leggings outside of gym class?

 

[zeetes]

are there male yoga pants? asking for a relative.

One of the few memories of 1st grade that I have almost complete recollection of was when we went to library and the librarian got in front of the whole class and said "Everyone, look at Claire's beautiful dress. It is so pretty. But she ruined it by wearing tennis shoes. Why would you wear tennis shoes with such a lovely dress. I don;t understand girls ho do that - it looks awful . . . ."
Even at that age I knew the librarian was behaving horribly.
