No matter what line you think "too heavy" or "too big is", there is a woman out there who will cross it - and the biggest boobs and biggest butts will be on display because they know where most guys eyes will be drawn too and will be less likely to notice their other "flaws." Never fails. As a man I deal with it as best I can, but my wife sometimes feels along the same lines as you do - she's just not as vocal or gets as ate up about it. I guess my point is, just don't worry about it. Different strokes for different folks.
This made me laugh...hahaha...

I went to Wal-Mart this weekend and I can't even believe how many BIG women I saw trying to squeeze into too-small clothing. I"m not talking about women 20 lbs overweight trying to fit into a small. I'm talking about 300 lb women thinking they can wear form-fitting clothing and make it look good. I don't know if they even bother to check themselves out in the mirror before they leave the house!

a low cut shirt on a fat chick is better than a belly shirt.

Both are bad, but I'd have to agree with you here

I'm all about people wearing whatever they want to. As long as they feel good in it, and (somehow lol) think they look good. They're the ones buying it and wearing it.

But my advice would have been to tell her jokingly - like if you were around the kids and the girls were out - to say "put those things away, kids are around!" while you laughingly press a sweather toward them or such.

Same thing if youre at a meeting - and make sure to make a joke out of it, like "man, the girls are up and out today - save it for later!" While you laugh... if you wanted to be friendly about it.

I'd personally rather see any type of boobs glimpsed, than the mini-short shorts and skirts where i feel like i'm so close to seeing the cooch that i'm afraid to even glance

It is not about weight what people should wear. Everyone is free to wear what wants. I am not fan of seeing anyones naked skin but it is not my business.

I'm sure they do, they are just confident in themselves and believe they look good. At any rate, my preconceived notions of the limits of the size and shape of the female anatomy always gets tested and/or rewritten after almost every trip there.

I recently spent a weekend at a fancy resort hotel (way needed to hang by the pool for a couple of days) and wondered, where do all the flabby bellied ladies in teeny-keenies go shopping for mirrors?! Many of them were attractive, but it seemed to me they were highlighting their most unflattering point.

I've not yet dieted all the way to that coveted flat belly, and I dress to flatter my figure, i.e., cover that thing up and show off my best asset! I love a swim dress or tankini that reveals my hourglass silhouette. Maybe by next summer I'll be bikini-ready...and everybody better watch out!

U know I see inappropriate clothing on folk all the time, like the 60 year old chick in good shape wearing a many skirt or the preteen girl dressed like a hooker. Fat chics r dayyammed if they do and if they don't. Yeah some of 'em don't wear flattering clothes, but they are not the only ones. I say live and let live, each to his own.

That's so funny, for some reason it's never bothered me/grossed me out/anything when I see someone wearing clothes too small or something. I hardly notice, my observant self and all.
