My take is that fat women have very low sexual market value to begin with, and no matter what clothes such a woman would wear, it would be apparent that the woman is fat. Since you can't dress up a pig (literally!), what's the point? Just design the clothes for women who look good in them, and just add cloth to fit.

I'm extraordinarily frustrated that women have become so obese, making it so much more difficult for me to follow my instinct of wanting to sex lithe females. I mean look at this freaking butterball in the article!

Quote, "There are a lot of styles that won't size up."

Hmmm, perhaps the problem is that there are a lot of women who won't size down.

Last time I looked it was not compulsory to be fat.

that is like them saying tom ford is ignoring fat people.. damnit becuase he is rotfl. some **** just don't look right on big people.

do we really want designer night wear for a 5'6 180 pound woman? They have guys who will date them as it is, we don't need to tell them it's sexy to be fat

I consider the 1980's the most "wimp" period for the American male portrayal in media. If you look at women's fashion from that era, there's alot of loose fitting, shoulder pad garments for females. In other words, fat chicks and skinny chicks were equalized in the fashion industry in some sort of taking away the curves design "conspiracy", which seemed to masculinize women in the face of the wimpy American male.

I'm surprised the article isn't lamenting that men in general ignore plus-size women...

Fat people are good people. Some people will be slim whatever they eat while some will remain fat how much ever they exercise. I personally believe that he should have shown a bit more decency. There was no need for him to refer to fat women as pigs. After all they are also human beings like us.

I was reading a book that cited studies that men basically don't take into consideration women's clothing when deciding her attractiveness, but women largely do for men, and they noted that it's odd that women are obsessed with wearing the right thing when it doesn't matter, while usually men barely care when it does.


I also saw this while reading Evgeni Malkin's wiki page:

Malkin reports that when he was a child, he had "few friends because of his size and love of Twinkies." He says that he was a "husky kid in Russia, is unacceptable in Russia to be fat. Ask [Alexander] Ovechkin [of the Washington Capitals]. He tell you same thing."

Bring back social shaming!
