With that sexy extra cut out to make sure those manly side-ribs show. lol Someday someone is gonna bring that back, even if unsuccessful.
I dunno, maybe a trend isn't necessarily always about weight or body self consciousness? I mean, thin people wear one pieces too. Maybe some of the cuts and prints of one pieces this year are simply nicer than some of the two pieces. I'm thin, but personally I prefer tankinis these days, or the tank and shorts style. Partly being over the teens and 20-something drive to try to show stuff off, and partly I think they're just cuter. Too each their own though. The only truly shameless person I've ever really seen at the beach, back when I was still a kid ('tween probably), was the guy in the Speedo-type piece (I think it was a bright color, maybe a neon yellow?) we had to pass by on the ramp back up to the boardwalk who was, lets say, super happy chatting with a couple of women. Not even walking by, just hanging out on the ramp. Swimwear hugging the junk is one thing... but shamelessly pitching tents in front of familes... wtf. Weirdo...either just get out of foot traffic or grab a damn towel; rather than just hanging against the railing like you're so proud of yourself. A chunky lady enjoying wearing a two piece, or a guy letting the beer belly hang out, have nothing on that. Last edited by IndigoErth; 05-28-2017 at 11:39 AM. |

I was hoping for more opinions in this thread but oh well, I still think we can mark this as FAKE news. |

Looks like this was FAKE News all along, I still see more revealing swimsuits every time I go to the beach. However this body positivity thing has got to go. Ladies who should definitely not be wearing these revealing swimsuits are wearing them and they make up a large percentage of the stuff you see. Maybe it's time to dress a bit more conservative or begin bringing harpoons.

Body positivity is supposed to be about people with body issues simply being able to operate normally in society without trouble. But it was already like that to begin with.
What body positivity has become to the "we got trophies for losing" generation is: Quote:

Too bad mental gymnastics don't burn calories, or they'd be fit as ****.

A lady friend of mine just tweeted about how she went suit shopping and wants something that doesn't show off her entire backside & apparently those don't really exist anymore in any decent selection... so I told her suits are optional at my pool.

It's an article about a present fashion trend in bathing suits... why is this thread or misconstruing it as anything else even a thing.
Considering plenty of people may have put on a little during a pandemic and more time sitting around at home, it doesn't surprise me that a tummy covering one piece might be a tad more popular this year. What of it. Quote:
edit: Eh, you got me... I see now this is an old thread. But why is it even back. Are people that bored and in need to stir the pot... |

I see all over my feed and even on IG ladies posting stuff akin to: "quarantine hasn't been good to this bod... summer's gonna be a b****!" Which makes sense. If the media has (somehow) convinced you that only certain death awaits you if you go to the beach for the past year and a half... you probably won't care about a "beach bod" or being "bikini ready."
So it's probably less a real life trend and more ladies temporarily becoming mumu wearers during COVID times. If it's anything at all.

Yet this is a misattribution of the direction of the convo. Nobody is commenting on people who wear appropriate bathing suits and who are tastefully ready to go to swimming. That is.... like exactly the opposite of what people are joking about in this thread. Last edited by IMJ; 05-17-2021 at 08:37 PM. |

I look about the same. But then I do work out at the gym at least three days a week, and I have to go shirtless in tights every few weeks and that's a helluva motivator to keep fit even when it's not "beach season".
I mean, technically I don't "have" to keep fit, since standards on the independent wrestling scene have definitely dropped in recent years, and a lot of guys don't look fit enough to walk up a flight of stairs. But I, personally, take pride in myself and my appearance. So even though I don't "have" to stay in shape, I choose to, because I consider it a public service to those who have to look at me. I also feel like absolute sh*t if I get over 175 and I honestly don't know how the f*ck fat people live the way they do. Like I can't imagine walking around feeling like crap all the time, to say nothing of looking like crap. For me, as soon as I start having a hard time putting my boots on, I know it's time to cut back on the pizza rolls for a few weeks. My wife's been overweight for a few years now (although she's finally working on getting better, thankfully). She constantly feels awful, I don't know how she can manage it. She's always tired and constantly in pain. But since she's been going back to the gym she's been doing better. I just can't imagine living that life and carrying all that extra weight, it seems like torture.

I've been a bit over the map since COVID last March. I always run and lift weights, but to varying degrees on given weeks. When I got laid off that month I was.... about average. Maybe slightly chunky. Right away into that summer and Fall I lost a ton of weight... both fat and muscle. I wasn't eating much... mostly just drinking and dinking around. I shrunk down to probably my skinniest until the winter. Around December I said "f*** it" for 4 weeks and ate chips and salsa (my one real vice, food wise) every night. Wham! Got all the weight back. Now I've worked my way back to almost exactly the way I was last March, maybe slightly leaner.

I refuse to "eat right" and that's always gonna cause me problems. I don't eat like "crap" or anything, like I might have a bag of chips once a month or so and about once a week I might have a piece of a danish or something. But I eat a ton of pasta and cheese and I just plain refuse to let go of that. Although I did cut down the "eat a whole pound of pasta and 20 cocktail meatballs, and then not move for two days" thing to like once every three or four months. Back in the day that was a weekly event and I'm quite shocked I'm not dead. Or fat.
I do go way f*cking overboard on Chinese food about once a month or so, but that's the one thing I'm really "bad" about anymore. Meanwhile, we're going to Red Lobster tomorrow for our Anniversary so I'm probably gonna overdo it like I always do. I can't help it, man. Lobster!
