Just cause they make it in your size...

LorinaLynn

I really don't know how you guys can ride bikes packing the equipment you pack. :noway: The seats are brutal enough with ladyparts!!!

That said... "just cause they make it in your size don't mean you ought to wear it." If she's hanging out of the shorts and top, they're not in her size. But also, "Just cause you think it, don't mean you out to say it."

But I confess to being catty and saying things like that, but usually muttered to my husband or a friend, not to perfect strangers. I'm always worried that the stranger will be a spouse, friend or sibling and I'll get socked in the nose.

When I was still teaching full-time, in a school where the headteacher was prepared to negotiate EVERYTHING with the students and their parents (but not with the teaching staff), I was called to task by said headteacher for observing to some girl(s) in my class that "buttocks are NOT a fashion accessory".

And they still aren't.

"If you're overweight, you should know what looks good on you and what doesn't, the lady shouldn't have been out like that in public"

This is size-ist. Seriously, that's insane! Fat, skinny, and everything in between folks end up on What Not to Wear.

You should wear what makes you happy. We don't have to all like it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^COMING FROM THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAAH YES. Oh I think you have a wedge...let me get it for you

I laugh at people who dress inappropriately, regardless of their size. I drool over people who look sexy, regardless of their size. Likewise, I fully expect to be laughed at if I am dressed inappropriately and drooled over if I'm looking sexy! & I will comment out loud if the situation is extreme enough to warrant the reaction.

She has the right to wear whatever she wants, and you also have the right to think whatever you want about it. I just wouldn't say anything to her, it would be rude and hurt her feelings probably and there is no point in doing that. But hell you are entitled to your thoughts.

godroxmysox

Maybe she was hoping to be a star on the "People of Wal-Mart" web page! :laugh:

I'm a slob when I go to the grocery store, but a covered up one. Not sure how to comment.

That website is awesome!

I don't care what other people wear. I don't care what other people do. I don't care what other people say. I often wonder why I even bother living in a society, but then I remember that that is where we keep the liquor and grocery stores and I go back to sleep.

I told a woman in a change room NOT to buy the one piece short outfit she had on. Couldn't believe she thought it looked good. :-(

Wow, that's really rude!

I think it depends on how you say it. If she said it, and then said, "But that shirt you tried on earlier was awesome," then it's one thing. I will often be in dressing rooms, and tell people I don't know that the shirt or pants they are trying on is cute.
I always go shopping with my mom because she will tell it how it is, whereas friends lie to protect your feelings!!
As about the actual issue at hand here...it's true - just because they make it, doesn't mean it looks good. They make those cropped shirts in XL sizes. But if you have a gut you should not be wearing it unless you're wearing a tank top underneath!! People seem to be concerned about labels rather than fit. If something looks good on you and it's from Wal-Mart, better than a too tight or too yucky colored shirt from Prada.

I suppose, but I've always found unsolicited advice rude, even if it's "good".

Really?!? Note to self, stop telling people when they have food stuck in their teeth or a booger on their nose?!? Nope... I'd rather be rude.

Teliooo

If it makes you feel better about yourself, then go ahead and judge people by what they wear or do.

Telling someone they have food in their teeth or a booger hanging out is not giving advice. However, expressing your opinion in a way where the intention is for the person to listen to you is (i.e. Those shorts don't look great on you because you have thunder thighs and you should not wear them).

Giving an unsolicited opinion can be very kind or super rude depending upon how it is said and how it is received.

You shouldn't call attention to yourself like that :bigsmile:

Hi, just a brief explanation of why I am cleaning up some of the material on this thread.

The picture I deleted it clearly inappropriate for a PG 13 site.

7) No explicit, sexual, offensive, insulting or vulgar content or language. This includes any explicit or "risque" images. The MyFitnessPal forums are rated PG-13.

Although hilarious, I would clasify it 'risque'.

Enjoy the rest of your day,

This so much! If the person wearing the clothing like it and likes what they see in the mirror, then that's all that matters. It doesn't hurt anyone else.

If I had that fancy papery stuff they call money I would live on a secluded island where my liquor and groceries was dropped off via extremely hot helicopter pilot.

If you're gonna think it, you don't have to say it out loud! I know I'm bad for thinking things like that...but I NEVER say it out loud. Or at least never to strangers. That was very rude to say.

And it was not in her size if she's hanging out. And honestly...it's one thing to look ridiculous but it's another when body parts that SHOULD be hidden are hanging out. I don't even like seeing a fit person's *kitten* hanging out of shorts.

I don't see why people who are a bit overweight can't dress better. I mean seriously ? At least pick stuff that is your size. Even though a fit person in say shorts with *kitten* hanging out and a shirt that looks like a bra looks better...I honestly still don't like seeing that. Cover up people. We're not at the beach! Or maybe we are...then I don't care. lol

I, in general, no matter the size don't like to see body parts hanging out of clothing.

I also find it amazing that people who are overweight are comfortable enough sometimes to wear stuff like that...even I, who is just a bit "padded" wouldn't wear something super skimpy. I rather cover up a bit and look elegant and put together instead of half naked.

But to each their own...I usually don't care. And if body parts are hanging out I just try my hardest to look in the opposite direction (though sometimes if the person is in front of me with their *kitten* hanging out it's very hard not to see unless you walk backwards!)

Sublimely_Self_Righteousreused

I always feel like I'm judged against when I wear a pink thong. Just because you don't like to see two balls hang out the side of them, doesn't mean others don't! It makes me feel sexy, and I wear it regarldess of your opinion.

*barfed in mouth* No judgment though

I usually have this effect with the ladies. No judging here.

I will keep this in mind when I see someone with their dress tucked up into their pantyhose, when they have a booger hanging out of their nose, or when someone has b.o.

I just won't say anything at all because telling them they stink isn't nice.

:flowerforyou:

i don't see how this is the same... telling someone to zip their fly, check their skirt, or wipe their nose *is* nice...

This. You should be able to wear what you want, where you want, when you want.

Gotta agree. The amount of energy people will expend on judging other people's choices is distressing, really. Let's worry about the big things, okay? You know, poverty, abuse.............. Not somebody's clothing, or lack thereof.
