thats true! its quite funny that they wear clothes like that! its not just that only slim people should wear tights and over weight shouldnt, but its just that tight clothes are for people who have good figures! even very thin girls shouldnt wear something overly tight or revealing! that can make them look even more skinny!

part of it has to do with the media.  easily influenced people rely on it to dictate to them how to dress.\n\npart of it has to do with the nature of clothing in general.  there was a time, for example, when blue jeans were for workers only.  sport jackets were worn for hunting only.  styles change and are adapted from other areas of life.  look at the people that go out in public with sweat pants or pajama bottoms.\n\npart of it is due to that fact that people aren't willing to wait to see how someone looks under their clothes.  \nwomen use it as a way to attract potential mates...but if the "wrong" person looks at their exposed cleavage, then they are offended.\n\npart of it is that people don't know what "class" is or don't want to bother. \npart of it that everyone wants to look like a model or a rock star, which goes along with the first part.

Because some guys find them attractive.\n\nActually, the main reason is that thongs, normally, do not leave panty lines under tight-fitting clothes.

No,...But It could be that since over wieght is consider unhealthy and "most"(maybe not all) people who are plus size want to be thin ,they are directing the images to what  your inner self looks like not the outer. \n\nGL

I think it is strongly related to society and the way they portray what is a good looking person and what is not the way to look. THere are so many make over shows and weight loss shows that you feel fat regardless of how you actually look. I think overweight is not a good idea because of health reasons, but stick thin is not healthy either. When more men pay attention the the "big" girls ( I use this term loosely) then maybe society will change their views. Back in the 1800's it was popular to be heavier, look at their art. Perhaps we as a society will get back to that acceptance again.

Women with flat tummies are bad news. They usually have some kind of compulsive disorder... like they continuously think they have a pooch belly and they constantly try to get rid of it. There is no pleasing psycho women like that.

I think people wear underclothing to absorb the sweat and to protect their clothes from stains.  Underclothing also creates modesty as well.

I really don't understand it either... I don't know if guys think it's attractive or what, but when I see guys dressed like that I'm totally turned off.  Sure, I don't want a guy to have tighter pants than I do (which I don't wear skin-tight pants like some girls) but there has to be some balance.  LOL and the whole sagging them way below their butt is so unattractive as well.  I could see not wearing them right at your waist, but that far down is too extreme.

They usually are overweight.

look at the advertising in the U.S. today and you will have your answer to this question.  Females are made to feel that if they are not a size 2 then they are overweight and should diet immediately.  Unfortunately for most people the idea of being a size 2 is only attainable if you starve yourself, hence the onset of eating disorders.  Let the media offer up something in a normal size like say a  8 or a 10, and then a larger size for larger women, or heaven forbid just throw a variety of sizes out all the time and we would have less of a problem.

Yes, your friends are right!  Only women think that being super thin is cool.  Why do think guys look at girls who look curvy, if you know what I mean!  Everything should be real.  They like it if its natural.    After all why do think our bodies are made different than men?  Of course it has to be curvy.

What a hum dinger. both people beat them selves up about how they look, but ultimately it goes back to wehter you can get in a bikini or underware or your bathroom. Fat people have not much, so they should be alowed to. Their lives are hell i don't think it should be an issue.

Even if you sagged like a rag bag, don't wear one if you aren't comfortable wearing them.  \n\nYour friends say you should maybe because they are embarrassed by you not wearing one.

Hi.\n\nThis is basically a cultural thing.  It really is not healthy for anyone.\n\nIn some cultures, however, being overweight, especially for women is desired.  It shows that they can tolerate stressful times (excess energy is stored up), so if there is a challenge in getting food - she'll survive.  (That is one reason)\n\nThe other reason a more robust woman may be desired is that she is direclty correlated with pregancy and motherhood, which are very desirable attributes in most cultures around the world.  In fact, in several areas sexy drawings or sculptures have been and are made of preganant women, or just large women for this reasons. - health, progenity, and fertility.\n\nLastly, in the West (the U.S.) being more and more slender has become a trend due to the fashion industry.  One era where it really started was in the 1960's with "Twiggy".  After that models began to become more slender.\n\nYou might remember from history, TV, or documentaries that they looked at Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch and Jane Russel (or Mansfield) as full-figure - GORGEGEOUS, Sexy Women.  (They were at least 20percent heavier than today's models. (go ahead and verify my percentage here - I'm going on memory) \n\nYou know - without any weight, it's pretty hard to have much of a figure: where are the breasts or hips?  You need some stored energy to have a really nice figure - at least for most women - maybe not all of them.  Some look feminine and great quite slender, others don't.\n\nUnfortunately, the more we read those fashion magazines we think we have to measure up, and that their standard is "it".  Not so.  Also, unfortunate: guys are starting to "buy into this philosphy" - for women.  That is not healthy - women/girls Don't need more pressure to fit some mold.\n\nLastly, did you know it's white women who have more of an issue with body image than black women?  It's the training, it's the sex typing, it's the culture, and it's what you expose your brain to and accept.  (I'm not making this up - this was part of my Gender Psychology class).\n\nWell, hope this adds good stuff to your answers.\n\nTake care.\ntiny feet

maybe the weight of the person has something to do with it, maybe the guy was a little bit chubbier than the girl so his belly was a little more stretched out and so the belly button was directly in the middle and the belly button of the girl that you saw is lower because shes skinnier? Does that make sense to you?

Good question.  I have always said the same thing.  There obviously is a reason they are showing it and that is to get looked at.  I am a woman and if I wear something like that, I expect to get looked at.

I often wondered that too.... It's an illusion baby! I wear apple bottom jeans, and it shows off your curves, and that you aren't fat!
