Aw, it's ok. I live in Austin, where people are paradoxically fit/obsessed with fitness, yet very liberal (think almost-SJWs). I have almost no one to talk to. You can message me if you want lol
Also, I wish those mannequins had rolls to show what the clothing would look like. It would be universally horrible anyway, but still realistic.

yeah I go to a school that may or may not be private that's in a town close to you 😜. I'll tell you in a DM but idk how to do that because I'm bad at technology and don't wanna get doxxed 🙃.
I went to a store I wouldn't normally go to this weekend with some family members. I tried to make the best of it and see if anything in the men's section might be decent or even fit me. Nope. I saw some shorts on a standard male mannequin and thought they looked OK size-wise. Looking through the sizes the smallest was a 32" waist. Now, the mannequin looked like me and the shorts looked like they fit it properly, so surely they must carry that size? I tried to look at the size tag on those shorts and surprise, surprise, those shorts were a 32 but we're being pinned together to be able to fit the mannequin's waist. Wtf!

Vanity sizing is a plague. My dad wears a 33 and he definitely thinks that men's clothing has expanded over the years.

I was a Graphic design minor. In class we were talking with the instructor and he said "what a healthy lunch" and "you three ladies definitely don't have a weight problem." We were the only thin women in the entire class. It was at a women's college, so that's a lot of flab!
There are likeminded people at college, but they don't speak out about it. Why? REEEEEEEEE REEEEEE! I would have quietly suggested that feminism or any other ideology doesn't excuse accepting obesity, but of course nobody did.

Yeah. In one class I hinted that we had an obesity problem and everyone yelled at me because I had "good genetics" and that I'm "privileged". Everyone was allowed to have an opinion except me because mine was what no one wanted to hear.

Read that entire post as "Mankini" very confused.
