M34. I’m at my heaviest weight ever (360lbs) and am really struggling to stay cool in the summer months. I know the obvious solution would be “lose weight,” but I’d like to at least find some way to make myself more comfortable while I’m working on that. I’ve tried getting clothes made of thinner linen fabrics, and it helps, but not much. My thighs are always on fire from the sweat and chafing.

How do y’all stay comfortable in this kind of weather? Any tips are appreciated—I’m desperate!

M34. I’ve gained about 240lbs, from 130 to 360, and am really struggling to stay cool in the summer months. I know the obvious solution would be “stay home and turn up the AC,” but that’s not always realistic when I have social obligations. I’ve tried getting clothes made of thinner linen fabrics, and it helps, but not much. My thighs are always on fire from the sweat and chafing.

How do all y’all fat guys stay comfortable in this kind of weather? Any tips are appreciated—I’m desperate!

Well, gang, this hurt.

We were playing a harmless hypothetical game where we ask each other what kinds of people we’d date if we had never met or something pulled us apart. She told me she’s not really into bigger guys and would probably veer towards skinny dudes. I was pretty thin when we met, so I guess I should’ve expected that as her preference, but I’ve gained about 200lbs since and am now SMO.

To be fair, she insisted that she finds me attractive no matter my size. But it was really hard to hear that she would not be interested in someone my size. Reading into it, I get the sense she’s saying she wouldn’t date someone like me if we met today rather than years back.

I guess this was more of just a vent than anything else. Thanks for listening or commenting. Any suggestions you have for picking myself up off the ground are welcome.

Just wanted to rant. Thanks for listening or commenting. Any suggestions you have for picking myself up off the ground are welcome.

Well, damn gang, that hurt.

We were playing a harmless hypothetical game asking each other what kinds of people we’d date if we had never met or something pulled us apart. She told me she’s not really into bigger guys and would probably veer towards skinny dudes. I was super thin when we met, so I guess I should’ve expected it, but I’ve gained about 200lbs since and am now technically morbidly obese.

To be fair, she insisted that she finds me attractive no matter my size. Still, it was hard to hear that my current body type is not something she’d normally go for.
