"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Has anyone come across fashion/style articles for bigger(over weight) guys? Its really hard to find any decent ones with pictures, I have googled several times with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want the article/post.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Looks for pictures of Mike Lynche.

He was an American Idol contestant last year. He has a really big frame but his outfits usually worked. AI has one of the best stylists in the world so they knew what they were doing.

Also check out Styleforum.net, it's just like SS but a fashion forum.

What's sexy is being in shape. Sorry, I know, tough love. But put in the work, and reap major rewards later.

i asked for articles on heavier set men in regards to style of dress, not a "just go to the gym and lose weight".

I know people who would like the immediate results of "looking better" as they work on the long term goal of losing weight.

one person gave valid info, and I appreciate it... this forum is cringe worthy at times.

*slow clap*

way to give advice guys.

Hey! I'm an overweight guy whose hitting the gym 5 days a week. I've lost 10 lbs so far, but I'm still overweight, and want to lose another 30ish.What styles can i wear right now?

You still going to tell me to hit the gym? or are you telling me I can't dress up nice?

I agree on the occasional "cringe worthy" statement.

pretty much keep it to gym clothes. i at once went from 250 almost to 155 at my lowest. i'm 175ish now but i have some muscle to me.

dont' bother buying clothes. you will burn your wallet.

i went from a size 39 ish to a size 31 wiest.

if anything buy some cheap jeans, 1 pair just if you have to go somewhere but i b ought a **** load of gym clothes and just wore them around until i got where i wanted to be.

i was not always big, the majority of my life i was a 33 ish and when i got close to that i could wear my old clothes again
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I read an article in the times that I posted in tips. It's about a new category of menswear called shapewear. It's basically underclothes that are very supportive and help to even out size that is becoming very popular. Check it out.

^^^ EXACTLY. You're fat, you buys nice clothes, you lose weight, 2 months later those "nice" clothes don't fit you any more. If you put your mind to it and are willing to go through so pain, you CAN lose a lot of weight extremely quickly.

lol, "your fat". lol. man that's blunt.

but yeah, i had nitted like 5 pounds a month here or there, then i went from like 220 to like 170 in less than 3 months. it's not hard, but it does take discipline that the avg person does not have. weight will melt like butter and so will clothes. i remember i bought like 10 pair of 32 inch pants thinking i was done i had never been smaller than that and 2 weeks later, literally, i was walking in the mall having to pull up my pants every 10 steps because they were falling off.

wait until you are 100% happy with your size. until then just deal with it.

This community has completely gone to shit.

OP has made his question very clear; I'm heavy-set, I plan on losing weight, how can I dress well in the mean time?

All he gets is a chorus of "lose weight and exercise". HE KNOWS THAT.

Nobody gives constructive advice anymore, nobody focuses on solutions, and nobody acknowledges what the OP says conceptually. Every thread on SS turns into pointless forum-speak and unrelated "this how I'm superior to you" rants.

If you're not going to answer his question, get out of the thread.

I'm trying to think but it's so much easier to dress overweight girls slimmer than it is to dress overweight guys slimmer. How much do you weigh? In stones (not pounds)?

Basically with women it's all about the hourglass shape and with guys it's always about the V shape, so perhaps clothes that broaden your shoulders to balance out your body. When I was a school there was a teacher that the girls swooned for, he wasn't particularly hot but he was quite charismatic, he was overweight but in a suit, with the suit jacket on (broadening the shoulders), he looked good, it really suited him.

I think it also depends on your face shape, one of my friends has a really round face and chubby cheeks but her body is really slim. But you still don't think of her as skinny because of her face. The teacher I mentioned didn't have too much weight around his face, so he didn't seem as overweight as he was, especially with his suit on.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
