I, personally, would NEVER wear them. I am me and that's just what I am. Not ever gonna suffer in discomfort for anyone or anything.

Personally don't really believe in that stuff. If I'm not satisfied with my body I should do something about it. If that is not possible then I should learn to love me and my body as is.

For men... I'd find it weird, yes. If a man is not confident about his body I don't find that attractive. I rather have a man who's confident about bodily 'flaws' than a guy who desperately is trying to cover it up.
Like someone said, at some point you gotta undress, right. So he comes out of the loo with a belly while he went in looking slim? Uughh...

Also, I once wore a corset to a festival. I couldn't phucking bend over nor sit down, haha. I was there with my shop, had a stand with my products. Whenever I'd sold something I had to grab a box and wrapping paper from underneath the stand tables, but I couldn't cos of that friggin' corset, haha. My then partner had to do that each time, and I sold a lot, so he wasn't too chuffed, lol.

Meaning to say: you'd notice if it was real bad. And some things you cannot hide anyways. Like a man's sagging pecs. Unless he'd wrap himself up in cling film, but that's gonna look a little 50-shades shady when he undresses

Also... once had a man who undressed and dove under the duvet before I'd even entered the bedroom. He drew up the covers to right under his chin. I felt shell-shocked... Couldn't believe it.
He'd had an accident, I guess he was self-conscious about the scars. But him doing that, being self-conscious and wanting to hide his body, put me off right then and there. Completely destroyed any attraction I'd felt, and whatever could've come out of this connection was killed on the spot.

It also made me realize that self-confidence and being cool with your own body is THE attraction factor. They always say men are put off when a woman is awkward about her body, but that event taught me it works the other way round just the same.

so so true crystal. and that is so telegraphed in the way a person moves

I used to be, 475 pounds - a long long tiem ago.

I trimmed down, with exercise, self discipline, and moderation of bad dietary habits.
Unlike other skinny people, I have experience being a chubby person.

So when I look for a slender wu'man, I am looking for other characteristics that have the potential to go south, once she gets complacent and or lazy.

Once you've been overweight in your own life, there is a choice to make, stay the same or make changes.

I would rather fit comfortably in the cheap seats, when I fly.
Because the back seats are ironically the safest seats, on today's commercial airliners.
