Why do advertizers want us to believe this is the new sexy?

    No one's obliged to find fat sexy. But why would any man be jigglephobic?

    I would imagine that the amount of jiggling and the part that's jiggling may have some relevance.  :)

    My husband is pretty jigglephobic but only with fat on himself.  He doesn’t care if other people are fat.  I’m the same way.  I don’t care if other people are fat.  I just don’t want extra fat on me.

    Likewise. American statistics on obesity or diabetes do surprise me, but I've never thought trying to make people feel bad (or exempting them from trying to feel good about themselves) would be the responsible thing to do.

    I've never found that skintight spandex posing as pants and tops as sexy on ANY type of man or woman or a person's figure.

    If one wears spandex, one may as well go nude.

    Spandex (or whatever it is), for me, is too much personal physical information to share with the general public world. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at November 4, 2023 10:15 AM MDT

    These ladies are dressed for the gym. I agree this is not street wear, but it's what we wear to work out.

    Personally, I don't care for Spandex on anyone who is overweight, even if they are going to the gym.  Living an working in NYC, you would be surprised at how many women who look like that and who are not going to the gym are dressed like that.  Spandex is not for everyone, me included.

    True, they look to be in sportswear. I should've said that I've seen people wear the similar skintight garb as everyday, even at-work clothes.
    Yet, in the long run, and on the other hand, why should I care? They're not harming me in the least..

    I don't know that they do. But a better question is, why would anyone think these women can't be sexy?

    True.

    In my answer, I was addressing what they were wearing, not the women themselves.

    They are following orders.

    Sexy is subjective.

    advertizers advertisers

    Who are you to judge? Aren’t most Ohioans shaped like that?

    Round on both ends and all.
