Do belts / tight boxers / other modern clothing additions that keep your pants up give you a gut?
I'm tempted to start wearing suspenders, because, hear me out here, I see the particular kind of skinny waist / fat fricking gut combo on men who wear jeans and belts all the time.
Especially workmen and office workers and what-not.
I think I'm onto something here.
I'm not saying the belts "push" the fat to your gut, but rather, perhaps it has to do with providing so much support in the area that the natural muscles atrophy, do you anons think I'm onto something here?

I don't wear underwear and I don't have this problem so maybe you're onto something, gay-sama.
Thanks, penis-out anon, I think there's definitely something to it.
I honestly want to stop wearing underwear, got any recommendations?
I'm thinking light cotton pants tied with a little cord instead of a belt / elastic?
To me it seems like elastics are the ultimate evil, because no matter what size it is, they're always perfectly SLIGHTLY too tight.
If there's elastic I usually wear them closer to the navel. So sweatshorts, sweatpants, joggers. Otherwise you can wear anything else as normal as long as it fits you well.
Of course, diet is 70% of it, exercise is 29% of it, and my thing is probably 1%, but I'm just curious, because it's such a particular body type only prevalent in pant-wearing countries.
It seems more likely that pants were developed to match the physiology of people with guts who have been eating too much mutton and drinking too much mead.
Like would wearing a shirt with 3 arm holes make you grow an extra arm, or even just a fat-tube that fills out the extra sleeve? Probably not. Try it out and please report back.

>pic related, bet he has washboard abs
Say what you must, but you simply cannot find a suspender-wearer with an atrophied waist!
If they have one, they must secretly wear a belt.
I know a nhl prospect that works out in suspenders lmao
Tom Platz wears suspenders.
maybe it's all those fricking doughnuts giving you a gut
what the frick is that gut?
I'm telling you, it's the fricking belts, they don't want you to know about it.
Maybe, but honestly, even look at sumo wrestlers, they don't have that fricked up "front-butt / muffin-top" that men and women in the West have.
Sure they have a fat fricking gut, but it's just less "disproportionate" compared to the rest of them.
I actually don't have a gut myself, but I just noticed my waist getting slightly thin, which is why I got concerned in the first place. I do a shit-ton of outdoors work, but I noticed my waist just doesn't keep up, my stomach is fine, and so is my ass and quads, but not my lower waist.
Strange!
that's a god damn beer gut OP.
When I finally realized that the slight curve on my penis was almost certainly caused by jerking off asymmetrically, I also began to wonder this. I've never really had a gut but my love handles have a very distinct indentation at my waist where my pants/belt rests. I've experimented with wearing my pants and underwear higher but it looks stupid and feels unnatural, so I havent taken that seriously.
I do believe you may be onto something. Small things habits during our development result in long term changes, like mouth breathing or how sitting all the time as a kid will widen your hips.
YOU FRICKING TOO, ANON?
I fricked the shape of my penis up jerking off too, it's perfectly the angle at which my arm normally goes.
And I'm quitting underwear / belts for good, going to have light cotton corded underwear now.
Maybe even wear a fricking kaftan, I don't care about normie opinions anymore, and those seem very comfortable for hot climates.
Also, it's exactly the same with myopia / almost all eyesight problems, like cross-eyedness and nearsightedness.
I managed to reverse my myopia from -7 to -3 over the course of 2 years through modifying my viewing habits, stopping the use of screens for the most part, and not wearing glasses + active focusing.
Epigenetics, brah.
I unironically have a fat wiener so it is bent to the shape of my leg from having pants/underwear too tight as a kid. It looks so fricking bad lol. I guess girls don't really care because it makes it feel even bigger but the little Black person is just straight up pointing sideways.
Well duh, it is well known that bent dicks are due to scar tissue build up.
>never date bent dick guys, they are coomers
Bent dick is a warning sign but iron grip is the true problem (I can't remember the correct term for desensitization due to gripping increasingly hard)
>feels unnatural
Most people limit their hip mobility by wearing their pants too low.
Yeah, so called 'low waisted' jeans aren't really a thing now because they're the default. Even if you think it looks cool, from a functionality standpoint sagging jeans is insane. When people sag their oversized loose jeans, they're constantly holding them up even at a grandma's pace. I've seen many fights lost because one cool guy is too busy holding up their pants to keep their arms up. Sagging skinny jeans restricts your leg ROM to the point where it looks downright goofy.
I like that joggers and other such pants are being normalized because they're far less restrictive while not looking like a slob who wears pajama pants everywhere
Do you know of any jeans suitable for athletic movement that sit at the natural waist instead of the hip?
Overalls you disgustingly moronic homosexual
I know about overalls and coveralls but those aren't jeans.
Outside of gym attire, I've mainly taken to wearing kilts and complaining about pants. Years ago I went into a Levi's store wearing a kilt, told the saleswoman what I didn't like about most jeans, and asked her what she had that I might like--she brought me five different styles and they were all miserable. When I'm doing work that requires jeans I'll sometimes get them one inch larger in the waist and wear suspenders so they float around my hips instead of binding them but I still usually end up tearing the crotch or ass seams.
>come get all sweaty in some denim
not all progress is a bad thing, anons
The good news is that it's becoming more common for jeans to have a small amount of spandex or some similar material to give them some flex, however I've only ever seen 'high waisted' jeans for women, incidentally for the purpose of hiding their gut. I personally don't know any brands but there are a lot of options these days because the use of a variety of flexible materials is becoming normalized, as well as an increasing amount of styles are becoming fashionable. It's not just Levi's denim jeans these days.
I don't have any advice to give here really because I've accepted the problem but I haven't put much effort into finding a solution. If you discover something, please share.
skinny waist + protruding pouch gut is usually a result of weight gain, then weight loss (mild) which induces a looseness in the stomach skin which then helps create a pouch which sags down with gravity. So the waist seems visibly slimmer or trim, but there is a pouch of fat which hangs about the pelvis, and gives off a pot belly look.
It's a specific result achieved after mild weight loss (not necessarily intentional). You will see some fatter, more evened out people with tighter skin and distribution who don't seem to have a gut, but rather, a ''thicker, wider'' full frame. The problem only begins after you lose some of it, and the skin loosens. Unironically weight loss can look worse, sadly.
That's very interesting, but the question is, does the belt contribute to the pouch stretching out the way it does?
With tighter skin below, and loose skin up top?
I do farming, and you can train a plant by making it grow along a trellis, which it'll re-organize itself around.
I'm sure the same could apply to a human - hell, they grow square watermelons, and they used to make baby skulls long as frick in South America with wooden boards.
Skin is probably affected too, to a lesser extent.
Frick, I gotta eat more collagen, you're right, I think I have slightly loose skin, very slightly, but just somewhat.
At my heaviest I was 200lbs, now I'm about 185lbs.
I think that yes, mechanical constriction does have an effect on the gut. You can potentially develop hernias in your intestine system, your digestive tract pushing out whichever way gives less resistance, whether through muscles or moving through the abdominal cavity.
I believe wearing tight, constricting belts around the abdomen can produce a similar mechanical effect of ''rearranging your gut'', especially if you then conduct straining movements or exercise, like bend around a lot at the waist, etc. Everyone knows that feeling.
It's very bad for you in general to overdo it. Wearing a belt which is just hanging over your hip bone, and resting on it, just to prop up a pair of pants which is loose can be fine. It's when you tighten it too much, or place the belt at the organ level that you should worry.
Also, the accumulation of loose skin at the bottom (not the top) of the pouch should be very noticeable. It looks like OP picture, as in there is a clear overhang at the pouch bottom, and this is where, so to speak, mass of fat has been lost and can no longer properly stretch out that skin entirely. Hence it pools there, and the remainder fat gives it a slightly protruding appearance.
Tighter skin should be felt at the waist and above, but in the hip bone area, is where by force of gravity, everything remaining will pool.
Yeah when I was still struggling to not be a fat frick, my ass fell off fasting. Then I regained 30lbs and looked like OP pic but with Hank Hill ass.
You may be onto something OP.
Years and years of wearing belts probably does to some degree shape how your fat sits on you.
Though, I don't think switching to suspenders will do you much good. You'd have to re-shape the fat by pushing down on it back into your waist region. Sort of like correcting teeth, your curved dick, etc.
I think you should however primarily focus on getting fit and losing weight though and just keeping it off.
Men just naturally carry most of their fat in their belly dude.
yea but in picrel they don't have the sharp cutoff that lots of skinnyfats get, I think this is actually making OP's point for him
Lard is still lard
but they have, they're just fatter than OP. it takes a really high bf % for an older man to store fat directly on top of the hip bone. It has probably something to do with evolution refusing to drown your genitals in fat but that's just my bro science.
Modern clothing is what has created the infamous "beer belly gut". There's no coincidence that 99% of people's gut ends right where your hip line is where modern jeans and pants sit. Start buying properly sized pants that sit on your actual belly button and you'll quickly realize your fat starts to become more uniform around your torso.
I dpnt have this problem because im autistic and walk naked around the house all year
I used to do that too until my neighbor reported me. Got me put on a list all because i forgot to close one of my blinds.
do it anyqays and threaten to kill them if they do it again
>I'm disgustigly fat
>It's belt's fault
Re-read my post piglet. I'm simply saying that the distribution of the fat is the fault of the belt or where you let your pants hang. I'm not claiming pants make you fat, moron.
>piglet
I'm calling you a pig anon
oink oink
>it's my socks' fault that my calves are fat but my ankles aren't
not how it works moron
Imagine unironically typing this lmao. Yeah dude, it's clothes that are making you look fat
Being fat is what gives you a gut, the tight clothes just act like barriers for a river, especially because most people will let their clothes lie around their guts etc when they get fat.
>clothes<posture<diet/activity<severe underlying health issues
Is what decides your shape.
Women for once not erroneously call some clothes “waist trainers”. Like compression wear for people with failing hearts and water retention, it does change the shape of your body to a degree overtime, especially if it’s the same fit everyday for the majority of the day.
>captcha: GAYYYYY
No you dumb moron is just your fat distribution, there's a difference between fat distribution on your stomach and fat distribution in your pelvis/genitals. It's like women thinking that rubbing their face upwards will stop giving them wrinkles, it doesn't work like that.
That's not how waist trainers works Ave they do not give you any long term results, i had to wear full body compression gear for months after a surgery.
I had this theory when I was 11 and gained weight for the first time in my life.
I have that shit and I'm pretty sure it because of clothing
Yes they do. Via ruining your posture. It's because people don't wear pants at their waists anymore, but on their hips. This+sedentary lifestyle = slack abs+hyperlordosis.
Who the frick thought it was a good idea to strangle your Tao with a belt?
modern trousers are designed the way they are because of modern people's fat bellies. until the 50's trousers went over the waist, can't have that when modern people are convex.
I used to have a ripped six pack and right around the time I started wearing jeans my stomach baloooned up now I look pregnant. It's very embarrassing on my daily trip to Dairy Queen
Thanks denim!
I havnt worn underwear in over ten years, have a six pack and near constantly wear a belt.
Basically you just have to stop being a fat frick to not have a gut
stop trying to israelite me shekelberg youll never stop me from eating a keto diet
frick off moxyte
Nah I'm a fat frick with abs
