i know that the body fascism marking gay mesn life is both real and difficult, and i havbe lived with alternating hating and loving my belly with equal measure, why do i feel bad about this ?

I'm on the verge of cracking 32, and I'm pretty narrow-assed. 36 seems to me, depending on yr frame I guess, like a pretty average waist size.
I mean, 38, on the other hand!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

But you CAN fit into your jeans, right? 36 isn't that big!?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah, I have a very good friend who freaked out and had a hissy fit the day he discovered his waist size had gone back up to 30.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the point is that Anthony feels like a Weight Traitor for slimming down.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

oh.
that makes more sense. in a way.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just been getting bigger. I deal with stress and depression by eating and now if I get into a pair of 40" waist pants I feel lucky. I also have no motivation or desire to do anything about it.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

OH, Don't feel bad, aes! It is a matter of health too, isn't it? And feeling good about yourself is hardly anything to worry about.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

34"leg, 34"waist, that's me. I'm not gay or owt like...

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

the thing is that i didnt mean to lost weight, i think its poverty.

― anthony easton (anthony), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

So why should you feel bad?

Oh, that is YOUR question, isn't it? ha ha

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Rollin' 34s,
feeling cramped and lightheaded.
Time to admit it.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't mean to be gaining weight, but it's the whole not smoking thing.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

if i could fit into a pair of size 36 jeans i'd probably drop dead of joy.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

the fact that i am having trouble fitting into a pair of 38's these days is enough to make me want to start starving myself again. (ha ha if only i had the staying power of my vain youth.)

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

fiddo you bastid
you at least are seven feet
six or whatever

those of us who are
somewhat closer to the ground
don't have that excuse

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

geeta told me "jess
you are skinny", and then i
tried to clasp my pants

(and wept)

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I had another friend in college who was 6'3" and weighed 125 pounds.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

wtf

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

how was this person not dead?!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah I am so back
to the 'fat pants', shame and woe,
figgy pudding WHAT

gotta lose 10 lbs.
before january or
my mom will make fun

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

the least i ever weighed when i was going through my eating disorder was 180 (at 6'7") and i looked like i had just been liberated from an internment camp.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

This is what we all wanted to know! He was a walking skeleton, but the scary thing was that he was eating normally; he just had the metabolism from HELL. (Still does, actually; last time I saw him he looked exactly the same, only he'd cut his hair so his head looked even smaller and made him look more gaunt and skeletony.)

(WAITWAITWAIT Did I just gloss over a potential Jess/Geeta tryst???)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I weighed 10 and a half stone when I left college - now I'm somewhat heavier than that

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I weighed 163 when I graduated from high school. I'm about 240 now and the same height (6'3"). I look hilarious in my grad pics!

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Bryan, we may be the same person

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't shop for pants because it makes me too depressed. They just appear out of the ether.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

what i want to know is who are all the fat midgets in this country?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Me. :(

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously...all of the 36, 38, 40 waist sizes i find are always for like 29, 30, 32 inseams...wtf

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

IS THERE NO HOPE FOR THE FREAKISHLY TALL MAN WITH A BEER GUT??

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

In other everyone-will-now-hate-Dan news, I lost 15 lbs between Halloween and Christmas and am now back at my ideal weight. Now if only I was at my ideal shape (ie MUSCLE-BOUND ADONIS)...

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm 6'3, have a pretty damn large waist, and have a pair of Gap jeans that fit perfectly - leg length = 30"!!

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, if I weighed 180 now I would be a skinny motherfucker.

Although I did start working out again, um, last night, after months of being 100% sedentary. It felt great but I think it's just going to make my girlfriend feel guilty about NOT working out, even though I of course love how she looks and more problems argh.

(btw, I love how anyone posting about their weight just turns into everyone bitching about their own fatness or lack thereof)

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

(Haha we used to call that guy "White Manute"!)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I have shortish legs as well (33" inseam). I rarely have trouble finding pants as most clothing companies are (sadly) catering to the ever bulkening (my word) bellies of North American males.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

to be fair 33" is my usual leg length.

Gap sales rails are great if you're a fat midget though

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

33 is shortish? Damn, I wear 34-30 if I'm lucky, 36-30 if I'm not.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

:-(

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Shortish for my height. My brother is nearly 6'5" and has a 36" inseam and has a very tough time finding pants (though the Gap often stocks trousers with that inseam).

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I buy 34s because I adore baggy pants. Haha I am a dick!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I am on the slippery slope, my belly gets bigger daily. I could excercise but I prefer to do other things.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but you dance and stuff, right Ronan?

I was watching/dancing to Rebirth Brass Band last week, and they went into this whole "get low...get low...now JUMP BABY JUMP" crowd routine, and that's exactly when I realized I hadn't done anything but get in and out of my car and carry drums for months.

My girlfriend confirms that when she started dating me, I had abs. HAHAHAHAHA.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

My plan is once I sell my car and move I'm going to have to walk everywhere instead of being a lazy fatass and suddenly I'm going to be svelte again.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah actually I think the belly is a result of less good DJs coming to Dublin. I will sue the Minister who indirectly closed the club I used to go to!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I have not changed pants size since approximately 1998. I drink huge amounts of beer and eat double cheeseburgers and gain no weight at all. I did however sprout a bunch of extra chest hair somehow in the last six months.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I walk everywhere and I'm not exactly svelte.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

MY GOD THE CHEST HAIR THING HAPPENED TO ME, TOO

I am distinctly hairier than I was in college. I find this deeply unfair; I'd rather be taller. FUCK YOU, MOTHER NATURE.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan Perry is Skee-Lo and I claim my $5.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

B-b-but I do have a girl with some digits!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Tom, there begins the mass transfer of head hair to other areas of the body, resulting in the *hairy bald man* look but like by osmosis. Blame all that testosterone.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

On another note, I have way too much hair and a bit too much gut (5'10"; 190-ish pounds, 36-32, throws things at the TV when John Basedow comes on)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Which I probably should've mentioned here.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

The Big & Tall Menswear shops always demanded that I be both big and tall, and not just tall and scrawny like I used to be. Who am I to deny them?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

what i want to know is who are all the fat midgets in this country?

Apparently they are bred as Human Dummies by the clothing industry, somewhat like albino lab bunnies.

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I've taken to wearing pants a size too large and belted on my hips like some scruffy street-punk, just so i don't flash 3" of ankle. Don't know which look's actually worse - accidental 3/4 pants or accidental Gansta wannabe...

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to have that problem, and then I discovered that Abercrombie and Fitch makes size 4 jeans with a 36" inseam. I think my legs have shrunk, though, because now I can usually wear regular-length jeans without showing ankle. Of course, I'm not a size four anymore, most of the time.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

what's wrong with showing ankle?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Too many things to list.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

When i wanna show some leg, i'll show some goddamn leg.

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:33 (twenty-one years ago)

excellent.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I have over the past six months or so finally accepted myself for what I am: all belly.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:44 (twenty-one years ago)

and he gets random women making out with him at andrew wk shows!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

185 pounds, which is a good 10-15 too heavy for me at 6'. However, my legs are longish and I am desperate to find a manufacturer of jeans who does a 35" inside leg (and ideally a 33" waist, too, though that's kind of ambitious right now).

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I once again proclaim my love for the belly.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Belly's gonna getcha, belly's gonna getcha... BELLY BELLY BELLY BELLY BELLY BELLY BELLY!!!

This is my fave game to play with HSA and his ickle beer belly. Belly's on boys that you love = classic.

I love the word "belly". It is almost as good as pigs.

Whot think you to the band "Belly"? I bet they are not as good as the word.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, Belly was a very good band, Sarah, if you're into 90s indie pop.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

If Im gonna fuck a lesbian again anytime soon I'll shave my chest, otherwise I like it. I don't like my increasingly 33 waist, tho.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked the band, Belly, too, but then again, I was always a Throwing Muses fan.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

moi aussi

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Right, the next so-obviously-not-fat boy to complain abt his waist size on this bitch is sooooo gonna get it.

every time i see this thread title a single tear wells up in the corner of my eye...

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 18 December 2003 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Hah! 5'4", 185, and other than the having-to-shop-at-fat-chick-stores part, I'm pretty OK with it. Note that I was very svelte most of my life, then when I was around 30, my thyroid shut down & I gained something like 60 lbs in a year. Woo hoo, the pranks the human body can play!

― Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

5'8", 180lbs, 34" waist (which is quite loose), 38" chest last time I checked, 32" leg (I like 'em creased).

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i do not understand this crazy pounds business

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

It was interesting seeing that Michael Jackson police card - 5'11" and 120 pounds. He's pretty much the same as me! (I'm an inch taller and a couple of pounds heavier).

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

You lanky fiend.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Is this point of this thread feeling guilty about losing a few pounds?? Anyway, I held off, but since so many people are posting their stats: 5'11", 150 lbs. I've worn a size 30 waist for maybe 20 years.

― Sean (Sean), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm the Michael Jackson it's OK to like!
