Serious/Health New Rule: Adults Only (18+)

59 Upvotes

Starting now, this subreddit has a rule limiting it to adults only. Anyone who is found to be under the age of 18 will be PERMANENTLY banned.

There were a few posts and comments I had to ban where teenagers or bad actors were trying to get the attention of adult members.

I don't know which, and it doesn't matter. This is not something I take lightly, and to be fair even though we are technically SFW, some of the content gets a bit wild. So consider this a necessary step to keep REAL talk going.

If you see any future posts of that nature, please report them immediately using the new rule. Thank you very much!

Introduction/Hello World Welcome! Introduce Yourself!

10 Upvotes

(Commenting as Moderator for Sticky Post) Thank you for finding and participating in Big Men Life! HELL YEAH! Welcome in! Welcome in!

TL;DR if you want to introduce yourself, you can make an introduction POST with flair OR you can make a reply here. (Edited in)

Feel free to interact here at your own leisure and pace. However, if you feel up to it, we would love for you to introduce yourself too! Feel free to create a post with the Introduction/Hello World flair.

You can also do that if you've been hanging here, but you never did an intro or it has been a long time (let's just say over a year for a clear standard). Or if you've been looking at other subs, etc. and are coming back. And feel free to include whatever media you want, but you don't have to.

Outside of your introductory post, please keep self-promotional content limited to Selfie Saturday. This just seems like a great happy medium so people can express themselves, but we also keep focus on the chill and real conversation about life as a big man.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you'd like. I'll do a short intro below, but I shall not include media this time.

(Commenting as Myself) Hello World! I was a fat kid ever since being about 8-9 years old and I've always been a big guy! In high school I joined the freestyle wrestling team and that actually felt really amazing like I was using my true strength!

But life happens so I went to college, grad school and I do nerd stuff for money. But in the past couple years I got back into fitness and joined an amateur sumo wrestling team which has really reignited the passion for grappling sports and even martial arts in general!

It's great to be here and I really appreciate y'all!

Permanent ball belly?

9 Upvotes

Has anyone ever heard of adipose tissue fibrosis in visceral belly fat causing a structural type of foundation in men with 48in or bigger visceral bellies that they have maintained for 3yrs or more? Like keeping a 55in visceral ball belly for 5yrs and then you can lose weight inside but the belly shape never changes…

Me gusta ponerme la ropa de hombres muchos más grandes que yo

7 Upvotes

Siempre me han gustado los hombre más grandes que yo. Y lo que más me gusta es ponerme su ropa. Yo uso una talla W36 de pantalón y me gusta ponerme pantalones de la talla W50 para arriba. Uso una talla M y me gusta ponerme camisas 4XL o 6XL. Calzo un 43 EUR (10 USA) y me gusta ponerme zapatillas y botas del 50 EUR (14 USA) para arriba.

Reconozco que la imagen así vestido es muy cómica y no me atrevo a salir así a la calle. Pero me gustar sentir la ropa de un hombre grande.

Puede que en mi subconsciente quiera ser más grande de lo que soy. O puede que sea tan solo una admiración por los hombres grandes.

Question/Advice Amazon buys

1 Upvotes

Lately a lot of my shirt buys fit but just barely any suggestions on where to buy online currently need 4xl and a tall cut all of the online stores will only have an inch or inch and half of length to tuck in even when wearing pants up near my waist and not on my hips.

Question for those of us actively trying to lose the weight.

3 Upvotes

I've been doing more walking and something I noticed is I tend to have somewhat bad posture and mild lower back pain after a period of time.

Now I know shoes, inserts etc can all help with lower back pain but I have non-, existent arches so back pain is just something I've always dealt with.

Additionally, my belly fat is pretty soft and hangs so I'm wondering if that in conjunction with the flat feet could be contributing to lower back pain and if anyone here has had any relief using shapewear.

Thanks in advance!!!

Introduction/Hello World Hi everyone

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Hope you are well.
I'm a man in my late 30's. I'm married and I like food, music, reading, meditating etc.

I used to be very skinny when I was younger but was absolutely delighted I grew up to be a bit chubby, hairy and bearded, as those are all things I think are really beautiful.So I'm a bear, hence my name on here. And I think bears are the most beautiful kind of men.
So lots of appreciation to all of you!

Hope you'll have a lovely day.

Bear hugs

Правда ли девушкам нравятся крупные парни?

0 Upvotes

Всем привет. Мне 23 года, нахожусь в долгих отношениях, и вопрос носит больше исследовательский характер. Мой рост 182, вес 108, довольно крупный паренек. Мускулатуры выраженной также нет, но и пузо не торчит на метр вперед. Девушка говорит, что ее моя внешность полностью устраивает, она даже называет меня красивым лол, и я верю что она говорит это искренне, мы познакомились, когда мой вес был больше, как и я, соответственно. До этих отношений также не было особо проблем с девушками, если говорить обо мне как о человеке - социализирован, без каких-то явных проблем с социумом. Фото если нужно будет приложу.

Discussion & Daily Life Camping and folding chairs

Post image
10 Upvotes

I'm sure this has been discussed here before. And, I'd have to think many of us have been in this situation. Folding chairs are generally made for about 250lbs max. That's the $20 chair. The 400lbs chair? Good luck finding one, and it's $80 on sale.

How do you feel?

Discussion & Daily Life Does anyone else just really enjoy having a huge belly?

58 Upvotes

To me it's like having a toy ball that jiggles with my every step. I just have this ball of jelly that I can play with whenever I'm bored and I just feel like having a flat belly would just be so boring. Being chubby just feels so much more fun to me.

Question/Advice Shirts ?

7 Upvotes

I have a question , where. And what shirts are you guys wearing ? I have a bunch of Carhartt pullovers that I like , the have held up well but in the 3-4x size the fit just tends to hang like a tarp and tends highlight my gut , plus not perfect style for all social situations ? Any recommendations ?

Where to get oversized hats?

I have a big-ass head! Normal hats simply do not fit. The only hat brand that I've tried that fit is Oddjob, and I need their largest size. Has anyone had a good experience with another big hat company?
