Waist size generalizations

• 32 - 33 - All right. What gives? You're flat-out fat. I'm not saying you're southern America fat, yet, but you're on the way. In Europe people would hate you unless you're over 50. If Asia you do not exist except in America Samoa
  
• 34 - 35 - I can barely write these numbers. This is the end of the line. It's time to stay inside your house. Give up fashion.
  
• 36+ - WalMart

Thoughts?

I actually "LOLed" that is some funny ****. Congrats.

As icing on the cake, he constantly referenced his abs in casual conversation.

Much to his chagrin, and my own amusement, he eventually challenged a larger kid to a wrestling match and got absolutely torn up.

Another kid opted for a non-traditional route and rubbed his nuts all over his "custom made hand crafted" pillow, took a picture, and showed him it at the end of the year. While I would never encourage such actions, it was quite hilarious from a third-party spectator's point of view.

From that day onwards, we simply called him Sackface.

I'm a rock climber by trad and the sport is amazing. dick head is pound for pound stronger than you, except maybe chest. His ego got the better of him and he got beat by a guy a lot stronger and heavier than him. Pretty understandable without training.

A friend of mine jacked off in to another guys cup of coffee as payback... he got beat in the head with a crowbar...no cops called cause **** was due.... not my cup o tea either but anyone that gets their nuts on my pillow gets a bat to the sternum regardless.

PS eat a **** a lot of protein and be done with it.

Uhhh, a 26" waist on someone who is 4'4" maybe.

I've heard a proportional body is, twice around your finger is your wrist, twice around your wrist is your neck, twice around your neck is your waist and twice around your waist is your height.

Sounds like a lot of ectos and endos in this thread.

Just saying.

Thats complete bullshit, your height is a bit more then 16 times the circumference of your finger.

Somatyping is bullshit.

I'm about 5'9, around 175-177 pounds depending on when I weight myself in the day, and I wear a 32, some pants I have I can fit a 31 but 32 is pretty good. I promise you I look much better in my clothes with some muscle on my body at a size 32 then you look at a size 27 looking like a starving Ethiopian. At one point I was down to a comfortable 30 but I have bulked since then. Anything over a 32 I start panicking.

I am going to get it down to a 31, and I will call it a day.

I hate it when you get older and the dimensions reverse. I used to wear a 30x32, now I wear a 32X30.

Wait till you get to 36 x 30. At least I'm now a typical off-the-rack 42R.

i'm not gonna believe this on the simple basis it doesn't involve any greek-ass irrational constant

I'm 6'5" and if I was to be 'ideal' I would've had to start chinese feet binding my hips/waist since I was 14. On the other hand I was at a department store and the guy helping me was probably less than a 27 and I thought he was a jockey.

After thinking about it, it didn't make sense as I don't fit those rules and I consider myself to be reasonably in shape. I believe what he said was that it shouldn't be MORE than half your height. That makes much more sense.

 

[munchausen]

Half my height would give me a 37 inch waist, and I would justly be called fat.
