I am sick and tired of guys clothing that is way too wide! I’m just over 6 feet, and this doesn’t imply that I’m FAT! Every time I get a sweater or jacket that “fits” me then there’s way too much excess material around the chest and belly. I could fit another (normal sized) person in there! Fuck!1 Whenever I sit down wearing my jacket on the bus, its outrageous extra bulk pokes out in front and makes it uncomfortable and just stupid looking.. It’s HEAVY, it’s UGLY, and it’s because of the FAT TARDS. When’s natural selection going to kick in?

I actually have the same problem when I go shopping for pants. I’m a 32-34 waist, depending on the style/brand and stores always seem to be overstocked with 38+ pants.
Then you shouldn’t dress like a hipster, you dumb fuck.
Try to buy a blouse that buttons when you have a set of double-Ds to haul around, dude. If they close over the cleavage, the rest hangs like a mumu.
I have the same problem as well as I am 6′ tall and 32 – 34 waist…
I find the stuff at Club Monaco fits and never have issue with their clothes. For whatever reason they don’t make clothes that work on Fat people. There clothes are good quality and they usually have a few items on sale.
Crap from like Winners or other places in the mall never fit so I usually end up back at Club Monaco
Come on now Gidget, must suck to be beautiful. Lots of pity here.
Price clothes by the weight of the materials in them. That may help a little.
Never said anything about beautiful, just big knockers.
teehee gidget…my sleeves are always too short and hats don’t fit but it beats being vertically challenged
Don’t know what t tell you… more people are fat these days. Learn to sew or buy a belt? There’s actually a lot of people with uncommon body types and sizes that have to alter their cloths… or send away for special sized shoes. If it’s a comfort, you are not alone.
I agree. Go to a European country or Australia and a Large is a Large. Here a Large is like an XXL there. Baggy as frig. Time for a new size…..Normal Large, and Grossly Huge Fat Large. Put down the french fries and fork!
It would be hilarious if the official size names were “FAT”, “EXTRA FAT”, “MORBIDLY OBESE” and “WHALE”
because ou douchebag, people are wide as well as tall. or did you grow up too quick for your brain to catch up.
You DO know there are a lot of people who are wider, OP, who are NOT fat, right? Body structure (and I’m talking frame or bone structure) comes in all shapes and sizes. For example, NGF’s bone structure is pretty big, and mine is quite little — he’s wide and I’m very narrow. And yesterday at a surgical consultation, I was told that my ribs are extraordinarily far away from my hips (I’m very long waisted)…so, I have a hard time finding shirts that are long enough a lot of the time.
What makes you think you’re normal, OP? People come in all shapes and sizes, and not all “thin” people are going to be the same size or look the same. Clothing manufacturers make clothing for the most common denominator of people. I mean, my ass and legs are little, but most women have larger hips and thighs so I generally can’t find pants that don’t look baggy as shit on me….but, I’m in the minority of body shapes so…
Guess you have two options, OP: suck it up, or get your shit tailored.
gidget, damn, i think i’m in love.
Think that’s bad, OP? I can never find underwear that fits me properly. Thanks to being quite big in a certain area, I always end up stretching the front of all my underwear. What can I say? I’m just too huge.
‘sebastian_’, Aussies are actually just about as big, on average, as us North Americans. Too much beer, barbeques, and watching footy I reckon.
Sooo, gidget, how ’bout dem knockers?
Yeah, I have a lot of trouble finding good clothes my size, especially pants. I went to Japan and everything magically fit. We are a very fat country.
Hey, Gidget, my puppies could smother your puppies with one roll. An XL in women’s clothing would fit the average five year old – I have to go to the men’s section in order to find anything that can contain the wrigglin’ Prospect Two – plus women’s shirts are so goddamn short – people start shoving mail in my mouth ’cause I look like a fucking Canada Post box.
Oh Gidget, I feel your pain. I LOVE Le Chateau, but find it very hard to find shirts to fit my boobs. There are so many stores that cater to flat chested women, but not many that cater to us. It’s really not fair, and for those people who say “oh, stop complaining about your big, beautiful breasts, boo hoo poor you” Well, you try carrying these things around 24/7…NOT fun!
When will my health care start covering reductions?? If only I had an extra $5000
Seriosly, OP, point is we all have our body shape issues, get a good tailor and have everything adjusted to fit you. After a while, your tailor will get to know you and everything will be fitting like a glove!
I’ve been waiting three years for an appointment to get the twins downsized but to no avail – thankfully, I’m too fucking old to care about fashion sensibilities so look out for TTFN in a baby shit green mumu, pushing her pendulous puppies around in a shopping cart along Barrington Street.
Shop on line at Lands End – the quality is great and they offer free shipping.
In the UK men are now making appointments to get their moobs reduced.
Big busted girls UNITE! LOL. Don’t even get us started about bras, OP, if you’re anything over a C cup, your style options are 4″ straps, and 125 hooks in the back that make you look and feel like a set of torpedoes. (Unless you want to spend $100+ on something that’s supportive and stylin’.)
Hey, LS and qpmz, I’m auditioning for 2 guys to walk behind me and hold them up everywhere I go… my hub says it’s ok as long as they help with walking the dog… you in? LOL
Hey Gidget, I feel your pain. I recently had to go shopping for a bathing suit.. I ended up dropping $175 bucks on something I only kind of liked because it was the only suit in halifax that could (barely) contain my jugs. Unless I was willing to settle for something my grandmother might wear complete with frilly skirt thingy. Sigh.
Ya, we definitely need a Whiny Woman tag for this sight.
Hey Balls, I’m pretty sure the OP, is a man! So you mean “whiny man tag”, right?
No, I talking to you, Jennier and Gidget. Mostly Gidget though.
Oh in that case…..screw off! Men are way more whiney than most women and children! And they’re louder about it, can’t even drain mine out with the TV or radio…
uh… that must just be because he’s with you then.
children definitely whine the most.. and I’m not going to put my say in the men/women thing because ultimately (as we all are) I’m biased.
but it’s more-so women.
🙂
and as for clothes… no-one is out to cater to you and you’re going to have to find a way to dress yourself every day just like the rest of us.
Find a place that sells your size and stick with it… rather than expecting any and every store to bring in every size imaginable on the off chance someone with an arm growing out their back comes in and can’t find a three-armed tee-shirt and wants to complain….
Yeah, Balls, ’cause nobody else ever hijacks a thread. 😛
At least we hijacked it with talk about tits. 🙂
zZz is correct and you can always wear garbage bags like they do at walmart…and i think were all a bunch of fuckin whiners but this is my favourite playpen
cause he’s dead sexy….

…..Aaaaandy, paingirl spanked me with the rattle….whaaaaaaaaaaaa
Big tits are overrated. Unhook that bra and BOOM! gravity kicks in and you’ve got a pair of saggy saddlebags or fried eggs hanging on a nail. Not cool. Give me a nice perky pair of As or Bs any day!
As for the whining, everyone does it. And I mean EVERYONE. Most people just can’t admit that they whine/complain/bitch.
NW:
Couldn’t agree more, and I have a set. Nothing like having them roll under my armpits when I’m lying on my back…
And isn’t whining and bitching why we come here? Other than poking fun @ other people who whine and bitch, of course… 🙂
I worked with a girl we called “Front Heavy.” She was blonde, she never got why we called her that. 🙂
A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived.
“My God!” the trooper gasped. “Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma’am?”
“Yes, officer, I’m just fine” the blonde chirped.
“Well, how in the world did this happen?” the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.
“Officer, it was the strangest thing!” the blonde began. I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I served to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ….”
“Uh, ma’am”, the officer said, cutting her off, “There isn’t a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth.”
TTFN: are you SURE you’re not my mom posting in disguise? LOL. She has the SAME problem with big boobs and shirts that are too short and has taken to buying t shirts and sweaters in the men’s section.
lorilulu: you *can* get a reduction paid for by MSI as long as your BMI is 25 or under. What makes me kind of chuckle about that is the fact that some knockers can weight 20 pounds each, I’m convinced. My mom’s an H and even when she’s not fat, her BMI is just over 25. If they did the reduction she’d easily be under 25 because I’m sure they weigh a ton. And if she lost anymore weight she’d be emaciated! In other provinces like Ontario, they don’t have the BMI restriction and OHIP covers medically necessary breast reductions.
Still, like TTFN said, the wait is horrrrribly long. And fashion aside, I can only imagine what it must feel like to carry around a pair of H boobs, including the strain on your back and shoulders. Thankfully, I got my rack from my dad’s side of the family and only have to ‘contend’ with a pair of nice perky Cs.
Okay, away from boobs and back to the OP:
I don’t think it’s a case of them making the clothes for fat people so much as guys these days seem to only want to wear baggy shit, so they make what should be an XXL and put an L tag on it. Vanity sizing. It’s been happening to us women for years. Twenty years ago I took a size 5, I’ve gained fifteen pounds since then, I now take a size 1. Does that make sense?
Sounds like you want your clothes to actually fit, which makes you an oddity, unfortunately. I’m having the same issue with what’s passing as women’s style these days. Everything looks like it’s made for pregnancy, loose and billowy with gathered sleeves and necklines *shudder*. Try to find a fitted shirt in this city. Good luck. Maybe you’ll need to change your style a bit and go to more tailored types of stores. That’s the only way you’ll get something that isn’t huge through the stomach and sides.
Back to boobs for a sec. If you want a reduction in this province to be covered by MSI you have to meet their ‘rules’. This includes the BMI of 25, but gals, did you know there has to be a minimum weight to be taken off each boob? Even the surgeon I saw said the ‘rules’ are BS, he said quite often what happens is someone gets down to the BMI, but then the specified weight to have taken off each cannot be met even though the patient most likely still needs a reduction. Lemme guess, a man made the ‘rules’?!
Funny enough in Newfoundland, like Ontario, there is no set of BS ‘rules’ like here in this province.
I finally got a loan and paid for my own reduction $7300. Best money I ever spent! Now clothes/undergarments shopping in not a pain in the ass!
