I need to understand

kcisthebombdotcom · August 2012

Ok, this isn't going to help my douchebag rep, but I don't get why people who are heavy (like well over 200lbs) wear skimpy bikinis/super tight fitting clothing. I think it's equally as bad for someone who is too thin to wear certain styles--it definitely goes both ways for sure.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to hate on heavier girls. I know girls who are a size 16 and rock that sh!t and look hot. There are clothing stores that carry plus size stuff now that are trendy and look great. I just don't get why people don't dress to flatter their figure. Heck, I'm not trendy at all but it's not hard to figure out what styles flatter my figure and which ones don't. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

Wasn't this already beaten to death a couple months ago?

I don't understand why you care.

AMossy · August 2012

Wearing those clothes makes them feel good about themselves. Really, that's all that matters. So if their perception isn't the same as yours, theirs matters more because it's their skin.

What I don't understand is why you have to make a TB post about this. Seriously, do you really HAVE to post every stupid/offensive thought that pops into your head? Their body = their decision.

Yes, yes I do. Well I just got back from the pool with the kids and I was pondering this on the way out. lol.

What, so you saw some one ::GASP!:: around 200 pounds who wasn't wearing one of these and your mind was bottled?

Dude, I'm not saying that people need to wear moo-moos. Just not things that don't look good on ANYONE over the age of 18.

delg23 · August 2012

I guess it is because they think it looks good. There are different opinions on what does or does not look good. Or they just can't afford new clothes and they no longer fit them.

ByeBabyBunting · August 2012

As a not skinny person, I wish I was brave enough to wear a bikini. I have lost 20 pounds, and I think I look great, but I know people would side eye me if they saw me in a bikini. They don't know that me at this weight is an accomplishment, so they wouldn't understand why I am proud because I am still bigger than what is socially acceptable.

What I don't get is why it has to be a bikini? There are so many awesome figure-flattering bathing suits/clothes that look amazing. I don't know--I don't want to wear a bikini or anything really skimpy for that matter. I like to wear stuff that makes me look the most attractive. That's what I don't get.

I'm pretty sure that had my mom known these existed while I was growing up we would have been required to wear one. Because, you know, modesty. Confused

DragonflyBelle · August 2012

Just to piss you off.

TunaTown · August 2012

This one time, I was wearing a bikini and a wave crash took me down. When I recovered and stood up, I noticed that my bottoms were pulled down to my knees during the crash. I made eye contact with this surfer dude. It was really awkward, but I also felt like a hottie.

Just wanted to share that story.

Hahaha, I didn't catch that, it does look like her.

gnomemom · August 2012

Okay, maybe I'm like super sensitive right now, but this just made me so sad. I have always been small, but I have gained quite a bit over the last couple of years. I just passed the 200lb mark last week, and I am trying not to think about it. I don't feel like I look fat. I still see myself in my head as a skinny person. So thanks for putting that 200 lb number out there and making me feel like you think I'm totally gross and shouldn't be wearing this tight shirt that shows off my 28 week baby bump. I'm sorry you find me so disgusting and offensive.

Jesus.

pinkiemo · August 2012

I need to understand:

Does this just apply to overweight people or should I, a person with a relatively flat stomach, also need to stay away from the bikinis because I have unsightly stretchmarks on my belly? Just wanting to make sure I don't offend.

Please don't let KC get to you, she has ridiculous standards. I'm sure you're beautiful.

Judge Judy needs to see to come up with a valid answer.

But yes, it's not limited to overweight people. Thin people can wear something unflattering just as easily. Not every style flatters every body type. I also think string bikinis should be left on 18 year olds who weigh 100lbs, but that's a whole other story altogether.

KC, did you maybe consider that whatever person offended you maybe used to be 350lb but with 2 years of hard work, they're now down to their goal weight and proud of it?
