lately ive seen a lot of girls who are overweight, and must know it (unless they are completely blind and deaf), who wear these shirts that show their stomach. now because they are overweight, their stomachs protrude discustingly over their jeans and under their shirts, exposing everything making themselves look even worse than they really are. it really bugs me. anyone know why they do this? do they think they can still be sexy even though they're way overweight? what do u think?

Overweight women can be extremely sexy. Sexy isn't about weight, it's about how a woman carries herself and her attitude. That makes a woman sexy. What does it matter how they dress? It's just skin. Is bare skin really that offensive to you? Or is it only bare skin that doesn't match a media defined ideal of beauty?

I'd have to agree, what does it really matter what someone else dresses. Does it really affect what you are doing and hbow your day is going to be? I would hope not. True, you do sometimes wonder why they would let their rolls show, but at the end of the day, regardless what anyone says, I'm not going to lose sleep over a person that shows their skin, overweight or not.

annie44, thats what i'm saying. you have to admit that people who are wearing clothes too small for them, and are obese or highly overweight, are much less atractive than those with a nicer body and clothes.

If these obese women go out on the streets wearing sexy clothes, they are bound to be stared at, worse, insulted or laughed upon. We know how others treat obese people and we need not kid ourselves that by showing their fats, they would be applauded. We see others commending those obese women when they are confident enough to show some skin. But they also need to be a little discreet. There is a difference between dressing up sexily and trying hard to do so. But if you exude a classy confidence, then the whole world will see that.

Ok, I understood your comment about wearing belly tops and exposing a fat midriff as it's something I would never do, but I disagree with your attitude towards being sexy while overweight. Just because you personally don't appear to think overweight people are not sexually attractive doesn't mean they're not. Of course they can be sexy if they're overweight. Thank goodness there are people around who think so.

I agree, there are many overweight women who know how to dress their figure and look sexy. Though you may be one of these people who prefer slim women, each to their own i say..:)

I am fat and I know what you mean. There are some men and women that are very heavy but are attractive and or sexy. There are alot more that are not. Then there is this whole other breed of fat people that have it in their mind that they are of average weight..lol.. I mean please, I'm sorry I mean it revolts me to see a 400lb woman has no business on the beach in a two piece bathing suit or a man in a speedo. Like the belly hanging out from the belly shirt and the bulging over the belted tight jeans...Oh my God I am picturing this.. Again I'm sorry if I offend anyone but its my opinion. I'm not saying that they should be ashamed of their bodies or anything of that nature. I am just saying it's not nice to look at.. and by the way I won't even wear a bathing suit at the beach...hehehe..it's shorts and a tee for me.

I'm sorry, but I find it a bit offensive when you refer to 'a 400lb woman who has no business on the beach'. Why should obese people be denied the pleasure of the beach, or sexy clothes, or whatever, just because they look a bit different to societys norm? If it offends you to see that kind of thing then maybe you should stay away from the beach?

I'm as surprised too when i see these fatties wearing such clothes that make them look worse. Recently i saw a disfigured girl wearing sleeveless tshirt, i pointed to my friend about her figure sayinnng look at her figure in that tshirt and she heard a little of it.As she was beautiful but with bad figure, she thought i'm finding her figure very good and she smiled and i was wondering why she thought that way. So i assume that all girls don't know about their shape and size and someone needs to tell them the bad things too for their own good.

I know people who do this... I am overweight and love to covor it up as much as possible.. I'd be happy in a snowsuit even ;) but some girls I guess dont think they are big.. my neice wears the little shirts and little shorts and just lets it hang out every which way she can and doesnt seam to mind a bit.. but it makes me mad that she dresses like that especially when there is company around.. I think that they think they look good.. and probably dressing like that makes them feel sexy...

Being overweight doesnt mean these girls arnt nice. If they make the cloths in their sizes why cant they wear them? Lots of men and women love a little or alot of weight on their mates or bf/gf. They might just feel good about themselves and if you dont like it then people just shouldnt look. I could care less what an overweight person wears....as long as they dont smell....

I agree with you Laurie :) People like different sizes. Sexy comes from within. I think they just feel good about themselves (and so they should)even though society tries to put them down. None of us is perfect, and therefor we should never bash others and act as such. I don't agree with people wearing clothing 3 sizes too small though, but this isn't just about people overweight...this is about all people. While one may think a thin woman in a thong bikini is sexy, I think it's quite nasty to see on the beach...it's not about size, it's how you present yourself.

I gotta say I am kinda disappointed by reading this topic, here's how I see this and no offence to anyone, but a person is entitled to wear whatever they want as long as they are not naked then its fine, I mean is there any laws that say that overweight people have to wear a sleeping bag to cover their body ??? ermmm not since I last checked no.. just remember this, its not your body, and until it is, there is nothing that you can do otherwise.

Well, overweight women CAN be sexy if they dress in clothes that make them sexy! Im overweight and I know it but I make sure to wear clothes that cover up my fat rolls! I dont even like to be naked in front of my husband because of my fat body and I have no idea how these women can wear shirts that shows their entire fat roll hanging over the pants! Do they not look in mirrors??

They look in the mirror. But they haven't been brainwashed into believing that the only attractive skin is skinny skin. Curves and roundness is sexy. They aren't self conscious. They're confident and happy with themselves, and that's the greatest thing in the world.

I don't know, some girls apparently think they look sexy. I'm not skinny, but I'm not HUGE by any means, but I still know what to wear and what not to wear. I wear t-shirts and make sure they fit comfortably, not so you can see my rolls everywhere. Granted, I do have a gut, but you can't see my skin.

Ya I know what your talking about. I honestly think these people know they are big they just dont care and are comfortable with being big. The problem is the people around them arent comfortable when things are hanging out and sagging.

Honestly, either their self-esteem is so low that they don't care about the way they look, or...they simply don't care what YOU think about the way they look and are just fine with it. Is it hurting you any to have someone's fat hanging out and you might have to see it? Probably not. Either way, it's their business what they look like and sooner or later they'll catch on, or they don't care what other people think.

you can be sexy and be overweight,but there is a way that they can dress sexy to acheive that look,and flab hanging over their clothing is not one of them,I think that girls that dress with their etra weight hanging out,just don't care,or that someone has lied to them and told them that it looks good.

There are different things I could say on the subject so hear goes. It is fashionable and some some women blindly follow it regardless whether it suits them or not. They can't see themselves as others do. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. They dress to please their mates. We had one very cold day here a coupe of weeks ago and I saw a very attractive young lady with a lot of skin showing...my first thought was not how good she looked but how cold she must be.

Yes. Confidence is important in women, They are who they dress themselves, maybe wearing thight shirts makes them feel more sexy or maybe they have nothing else to wear?

I think these girls think it is sexy. I have seen it a number of times and just find it disgusting. There is nothing wrong with being overweight, but it doesn't mean that everyone wants to see rolls on your tummy.

I am overweight, and although I do not dress in revealing clothing, I do not knock the girls that do. If it makes them feel that they look good, then I think they should be able to wear what they want to. I dont feel that overweight women are sexually unattractive, and can most definately be very sexy....

I would assume it is for attention, however, it is really negative attention they are gaining. There was one post that said that these girls do this because they are confident in themselves. I disagree. If they were confident then they wouldn't have to a dress in a way that looks negative. Granted, some people may be attracted to this, and every person has a right to dress how they want, but they are also offending others that may not like to see something like that. I know I wouldn't want to see a 300 pound man walking around in speedos and a wife beater.

I do not understand why they wear clothes like this.they just might have alot of confidence to wear thesekind of clothes.just because they are overweight does not necessarily mean they are unattractive because beauty is on the inside not the outside.they might be trying to prove something to people like you that is why they wear these clothes.

Well I am overweight, not obese but overweight and I wouldn't wear something like that. But to those who do, let them be happy, free and I give them a big kudos for not being self conscious about their weight! I am, that is why I would never do it. And you are darn right, you can still be sexy and be overweight... besides not all thin women are sexy IMO!

I don't get this either. You see it all the time. I wouldn't let my teens dress that way when they were home. I know it wouldn't have even been a question when I was growing up. I chalk all this up to the society we live in today.
