Being bigger men in this group, we all get very hot in the summer. I have gotten used to accepting that I am a big guy and go shirtless in the summer more often than I used to. Do you guys like to go shirtless or keep the tarps on?

I propose opening a sports league for fat, sumo-type guys whose objective is towhose objective is to bring down the other guys bumping bellies lol Who's in?

Seriously though, it's strange that no one thought of this before, but whoever wants to join, I'm in! 💪💪💪lmao

I'm at 197, down from 230 from unintentional weight loss. Money is tight right now and I was wo during what sort of things in the title that can help me gain weight consistently and quickly

I've been using a DXL elastic belt for YEARS, because it wraps around me almost twice (could have trimmed it. Never wanted to) is slim, keeps my pants up, and the low profile belt buckle doesn't hurt my belly. That belt buckle bit the dust this week, and the elastic is worn the heck out.

So I'm in the market for a new belt. What's your favorite belt?

I've used suspenders, but I like the feeling of a belt. I got to like the thick elastic feel, and the way it wrapped around me quite a bit extra. Online ordering options would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

Why do some women think that a fat guy is not attractive?

I faced many rejections due to fat. Can you give some tips for next time.

As heavier set individuals I feel most of us have experienced situations at least once or twice where people are just hostile to you with the shaking suspicion it’s likely because of your weight. Especially when online and folks have veil of anonymity to hide themselves.

I’m curious to where yall think that energy comes from or have had similar experiences.

Im an average sized woman (5’6” 145lbs) and when I was younger, I always went after skinny or average guys. My new boyfriend is fat. Not like dad bod fat, but fat. I don’t know his exact weight but he’s 6’2 and probably a little over 250lbs. However he is pretty strong. I love his body so much. I can tell he’s self conscious about his size but since we’ve been together I think his confidence is improving.

The other day he asked me what I found sexy about him. The first thing I said was “I love how big you are” because it’s true! I could see that it hit him hard. I’ve always struggled with my self image and body dysmorphia issues, and now that I look back I realize that being with skinny guys made me even more self conscious. With him, I feel cute and feminine. Like yes, this is my big strong boyfriend. I love when he picks me up because he can do it so easily!

Another positive is that he’s always down to eat good food! He gets excited whenever I say I’m hungry. Plus we get appetizers and dessert too. My exes were all skinny and broke so it’s a welcome adjustment for me lol. He’s so warm and comfy, and nice to hold onto. I just love cuddling up against him. And as far as sex goes, we certainly don’t have any issues. Though there was a bit of a learning curve when it came to figuring out good positions for us. That hardly outweighs the benefits.

Anyways, I wanted to make this post because fat guys deserve some love, and I’m not afraid to be loud about it either.

I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for some casual summer shirts that help hide a lot of arm pit sweating? Any brand or anything that you particularly like that makes it less noticeable? I have a few colored tee-shirts with a black stripe down the side and I found that to be a good option. Curious what anyone else likes?

Im not trying to say that women have it better or that sexism doesn't exist or anything like that. All I'm saying is that the notion that being fat is easier for men is not the case, especially when it comes to dating. The plus sized woman is still seen as sexy and valid by many people. Yes they still get harassed by weirdos but they still have much more support than men get. If you're a fat man you are worthless. No one wants you. No one is trying to tell you that you're still sexy. Even other plus sized people see you as beneath contempt. Even if someone slips into my DMs it's because they think I'm a big ugly bastard. I have been told to my face that I need to accept that no one will love me until I lose weight. The only time I've ever seen a "sexy" fat guy is in a DXL ad.
