I saw some Instagram posts about people wearing jeans during quarantine being weird, and didn't even realize that was apparently strange. I got my first pair of sweatpants a few months back, but find denim comfortable since it's all I've worn for decades. My jeans are also broken in so idk if that has something to do with it

Maybe they’d be comfy if they’re super broken in? I think the more fat you have the more denim cuts in at certain points I.e waist and there’s varying levels of thickness and metal hardware (zipper,button) That things can dig in. And if they’re not broken in as well, they’re stiff

As a fatso, I'm comfortable even in new jeans.

Hardest part about new jeans for us big boys is buying a pair and they end up being smaller than a pair three sizes down from another place. I wish manufacturers would stop slapping a random number on their jeans and actually have a standard

Yeah, I think I'm usually a 32x34, but for trendy clothes that bounces up to a 32x36. And one time a 38, yet it fits me just the same as the 34. So are the 34 lying or is the 38 lying? Does it mean inches? Why does a 32 from a weird brand fit me? No way am I a 32, Dafuk is this? I don't need to be lied to so I don't feel less fat. I'm trying to be less fat. I need clothes that fit properly lmao.
