      I don’t disagree, but the high-waisted era works a lot better for girls with more curve to their figures, which I see as a net gain.

      And considering the number of overweight/obese people continues to grow apace, it’s not a bad thing for them to be able to feel good about themselves and have fashion options that flatter their figures instead of all fashion being catered to near-impossible body types.

      This should not be read as an endorsement of obesity, which can be a dangerous medical issue, but rather a willingness to see that everyone deserves to feel positive about their self image. Weight gain is a difficult issue to tackle in a country that subsidizes corn syrup and puts it in damn everything, on top of a broken education system that certainly doesn’t teach people healthy eating.

        Hmm, I think the key lies in your username. Replace corn syrup with hot sauce. You can still subsidize farmers, just have them growing Carolina Reapers instead of field corn.

          Peppers of all varieties are way healthier than corn, so this isn’t a shabby idea.

        Every man, woman and other deserves the chance to feel comfortable and beautiful. Just because I like and prefer something, doesn’t mean everyone or even my wife has to… I’m not Kanye West 😂

        As someone who has PCOS belly the opposite is true. High waisted jeans are a nightmare to wear with the bloating and extra abdominal fat.

          The bloating creates a different challenge from being overweight. If your waist fluctuates throughout the day, high waisted jeans become pretty uncomfortable. I’m overweight and don’t really deal with any bloating and find high waisted jeans more flattering than low-rise jeans; they also stay on better.

            It’s both. I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance which leads to obesity. Separately from that, I also experience bloating as a result.

      I cycle, so I’m definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.

        Can I suggest wearing a WWE belt backwards?

        Joking of course, wear whatever you’re comfortable in

        You exercise in jeans?

          they probably cycle to get around, not exercise.

          No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.
