Excuse my ignorance, but what is vanity sizing?
[–] iPood_ 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Basically putting a label with a smaller size on something that really should be bigger to flatter people (aka fat women) into buying more because it makes them feel better. The actual fit of clothes hardly ever correlates with what it says on the sizing charts. For example, based on my body measurements I should wear an xs/s and 2/4, but in reality I'm basically swimming in anything bigger than xxs/0. It's just stores catering to delusional insecure fatasses.

slapping a XS label on a tarp fit for a minimoon.

I read that article when it initially came out, and alot of the comments were good for a laugh but just as many seriously pissed me off. Every time vanity sizing comes up on a female oriented website, the hams come out in full force to complain about how "tiny" H&M runs and complain about the fact that they wear a 10 everywhere else but can't fit into H&M clothes at all. Meanwhile I've been sized out of 90% of stores and H&M size 2/xxs just fits. It makes me fucking rage that I've basically been banished to the kids section or online shopping unless I want to wear baggy sweaters just so that 200 pounders don't have to be faced with the reality of their sheer mass. I recently started my first "adult" job and I literally cannot buy business casual clothing in stores, except at H&M. If they give in to vanity sizing I'm totally fucked or maybe I'll just have to go naked to really trigger butterbeasts.

Exactly, all my pant and dress suits need to be tailored, and these are designer -- Calvin Klein, DKNY, etc. I've learned to deal with the fact that I have to budget in tailoring along with the price of the suit if I don't want to look like fucking Charlie Chaplin's little sister. Pant legs are at least 3-4 inches too long AND too wide, and ohmyfuck the enseam and waist size -- like for a preggo woman all the time. And I have "birthing hips" hip bone width but this shit is ridiculous....

Good fucking Lord what is that thing? No wonder everything is shit with things like that trying on size fucking 6. It should be a 16, at the very least.

Is she trying to go super saiyan with that forehead?
[–] Carsandsarcasm 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Yeah, you're against vanity sizing now until it theoretically stops and you're told you're actually closer to a size 20. This is just fats complaining because they like to complain. Their words are empty and it all goes out the window once reality appears.

Mutants like her are the reason I a grown ass man at 5'10 and 133 pounds has to wear a size small.

You are very small, not sure what size you expect to be wearing.
I'm 182 lbs at the same height and my medium shirts fit loose on me.
[–] ScootyPoofTipper ago
I have mediums from a few years ago that fit perfectly. Nowadays when I look for mediums in the men's section they are super baggy.

Where do you shop? I'm the same height, but slightly heavier at 143lb and I wear XS, else it's too big.
[–] ScootyPoofTipper 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Usually Burlington, JCPenny. It depends on the brand. Either S or XS.

"I've bought things I don't even like..." ah yes, mindless consumption, every aspect of a fat's life...
