Why do overweight men like wearing shorts so much

[Joolay]

Yet women less

Women have more options.. what are overweight men supposed to wear when it’s hot out? Really judgey op.

Because their legs are hot I imagine?

Pretty poor post op. What’s your issue with this?

News flash, some larger women will wear shorts too, do you judge them the same?

Women are socialised to be more ashamed of being fat. I see this changing though, the young women in my office seem to wear more for fashion than to flatter so they're quite happy to wear shorts or crop tops even with some extra padding.

What's your objection to the shorts for men? Why do you care?

Because the weather is nice?

They would look silly in skirts.

What is the weight limit?

In colder weather. Big guys in shorts.

Hmm. 15 stone?

So the majority of men then…

what is your actual issue?

Why they like shorts so much
when underweight/regular weight men might not.

as in OP

I think you nailed - it's not about the men, it's about women feeling they can't and being judged more.
Although, I'm not from the UK and according to the standards of my country, as soon as you turn 40 or your BMI is higher than 22 you should cover yourself with a curtain head to toe, mine is 27 and here I feel free to wear whatever I fancy and it's so liberating

To show off their tattoos.

When the weather gets warmer, what should they wear?

Women can wear skirts, dresses, linen trousers, shorts etc

Well they usually have better legs than skinny men so why not !
Each to their own 😁

Because they feel the heat more than slimmer men. Insulation.

They run hotter due to all the fat insulation. 🙄

Disgusting, just imagine the outcry if this were about women!
Who cares! Let people wear what they want.

It does annoy me that men are allowed to wear shorts to the office these days. But if a women did it would be frowned upon. Men have the excuse they are always hot but plenty of women get warm too

What a silly question.

What do you suggest they wear instead when they want to wear something that makes them feel cooler? A maxi skirt? Wide-legged linen trousers?

What an awful post:

15 stone isn’t that heavy. I’d say not far off 50% of men are at or over 15 stone, and if you are over 6’ then 15 stone doesn’t look like 15 stone at all.

What are men supposed to wear when it’s hot?

you realise that overweight woman also wear shorts right?

and lastly, and most importantly, who gives a shit and why does it bother you so much?

because they look very sexy in them. I love a big built man with shorts on.

I know!! My male colleagues are always wearing short skirts and mid-thigh shift dresses, silk vest tops, etc., yet all the women are still expected to wear a full suit, long sleeved shirt, and tie (chinos and a shirt if it’s one of those ‘smart-casual’ offices). It’s getting ridiculous.

Could be they don’t like the feel of trousers on their legs. I know a man who only wore trousers for his mum’s funeral. Not overweight just always wore shorts.
