Fat men’s trousers
Probably the most inexplicably silly blog post title I’ve ever made but I was wondering about this today when no doubt I ought to have been doing something more important.
Why do fat men have the stigmata of wearing trousers that fall down on them constantly. Does this stereotypical view come from the idea that a fat guy is buying trousers that are about three sizes too big for him? Why would he do that? Surely he’d struggle to get trousers that actually fit him in the first place.
If anything, I reckon that fat guys trousers are probably too tight on them completely reducing the prospect of them actually falling down.
“But what if the button pops on those slacks?” I hear a small portion of the 4-10 people who read this blog. Well, worry not, for I have an answer. Hypothetical situation. Fat Larry is wearing tight trousers, oh no, the button pops and flies across the room hitting a sixteen year old on their work experience. Is Larry now suffering the embarrassment of his white boxer shorts (with the obligatory red hearts across them) being shown to the room? No. Why? Simply, because the trousers will probably hold their own, given that they are the correct size for Larry, or indeed, too tight for him. In which case, they’ll probably hold their own.
Why must this myth persist? If anything, skinny people’s trousers ought to be falling down more!
More so, if a fat guy’s trousers are falling down then I think we ought to give the guy respect, it’s probably a good indication that they’ve lost weight.
