I live in Western Massachusetts, USA, and the girls 'round here wear the most amazing outfits.
Smith College (an all girls school) is nearby, and all I see is see-thru t-shirts, no bra, but most of all (should I say least?) are the sweat pants and jeans so low that strategic shaving is necessary in front, and the in the back, well, let's just say that when these girls bend over to pick something up, I feel as if I should tip them, if you take my meaning.
But most shocking is that more of these girls than not are overweight. As a hetero male I always feel the more skin visible on an attractive female, the better.
But this volume of skin showing on those poor heavier girls only serves as an embaressment, as far as I can see.
Does popular fashion have such a stranglehold on these young women that they can't see how covering up just a little more would be to their benefit, at least 'till they can get in a little better shape?
Is it like this everywhere, or is it the college town thing concentrating this phenomena here?

Hey chrisisall, long time no post!

Anyway, this seems to be all over the place, I was at the local S. Florida Best Buy parking lot one afternoon and this young hispanic girl got out of her parent's car in front of me (with her parents, btw) and I could not believe what I saw: her bush, peeking out from the top of her low rider jeans! Heck, even when my wife wanted to buy some jeans, the only thing she could find were low riders that gave her plumber's crack, and she's far from overweight.

The overweight ones also seem to like black spandex, and I find that SOOOO attractive...NOT!

Hello,

Please post pictures of this phenomenon so that the rest of us can make judgements on the matter.

Bugboy, it was our run in on the other thread made me think, some of this is a little out of control. Real life has surpassed what they can show on broadcast TV!

Amen Brutha!

I find it ironic that after all the hoopla over the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction", the download of that film clip broke all records! And after Adelphia for years insisted it would NEVER provide adult content is now providing adult content in CA.

I can say that I've found some of this here as well. Rather unsettles my stomach when it happens I must say.

My guess is that in current society, they get so much of, "You're so great", "You're so pretty no matter how you look", etc crap (Richard Simmons, I'm looking at you), that they actually have taken it to an unheathy extreme.

It's ok (and necessary) to have a good self image, but when people get to this deluded state... well... we all suffer.

Actually it isn't necessarily that they are told they look good like that. Go into any store in america and try to find a normal pair of jeans. Almost all are ultra low and you have to hunt for ones that start at your hipbone for women.

That said, the ultralow rider styles coming out for men don't look any better quite honestly.

the fashion industry dictates what is worn and eventually you have to buy some of it when your "normal' clothes wear out.

@jebbypal:
That is true about jeans, but there are other types of pants, khakis pants for instance. There are also other type of "covering your legs" type clothing that are availible (ie skirts, etc).

Also, I remember reports last year (don't get me to look it up) that some young women are as disgusted with this as most people are. They have found clothing that covers in various places. I think Mandy Moore (?) has a clothing line along those lines (or that other singer, etc "star"). As well, a number of stores have started to carry some more covering clothing in response.

I'm not sure as to how wide spread it is, but the back lash to this terrible phenomenon has already started. Let's just hope that it takes hold.

I don't see a big problem with somone with the attitude that they are great and pretty regardless of how they look.
In this case their weight.
Should they think they're worthless pieces of garbage because they are fat?
With that said,there IS age as well as weight appropriate clothing. Certain things are designed a specific way for a reason.
My problem is more with people wearing wayyyy oversized clothing.
Or every time I see someone wearing a baseball cap sideways or slightly off center I want rip it off their head, slap them severely about the head and shoulders, then jam the thing back on their heard the correct way.
Wearing one any other way besides straight forward or straight back looks idiotic.

Never said anything like this (nor anyone else). What I said is that the extreme is bad ie someone who is... overweight wearing things that a supermodel wears. You seem to agree with this from what you wrote.

Good self esteem is a necessity (as I stated above). But, when it gives birth to an "I'm so good no matter what my weight is, so I'm going to do nothing about that!" That is a problem.

Not only is it delusional (please note that I've seen somewhat attractive cubby people, but it is unhealthy), it's, to put it mildly, unhealthy ie increased chance of heart attack, stroke, hyper-tension (this one further increases chances of the already mentioned), diabetes, etc.

People should wear clothing that is specific to the occasion and there physique. ie I don't go around in a muscle shirt b/c I really don't have any to show (nor would I if I did). I expect the same of others as well.

I think that it must be said that I apply this to men just as I do women. I don't what to see Joe's belly hanging over the belt of his pants because his shirt is too short, just like I don't want to see the same on a woman.

Perhaps they should teach people what having class is in school nowadays as they are clearly not getting it.
