The scourges of summer: heavy girls in bikinis and flip flops

[DeathBrewer]

Damn hippies.

 

[shecky]

We already suspected you two were strange. Now you've proved it.

 

[IrregularPulse]

My feet have tan lines from my flip-flops.

Same here

You're calling me strange??

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Travis Bickle.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

You sure you want to do that?

I thought I burned that photo years ago. Damned internets.

If I am not at work, mowing the grass, or playing a sport, I am barefoot inside or wearing flip flops outside.
I wore the same pair of flip flops for 3 years in college year 'round. Winter hell yes. I didn't care. I wasn't outside much walking from my car to class. Lived on OU's Campus and drove to Hocking.

Cripes man! EVERYONE at OU wore flip flops 24/7/365! I remember (kinda) the partys there.... ahhhh those were the days. Have you ever heard of a place somewhere down there in BFE called the "Foxhole"?

And yes I had to Google Travis Bickle
I was -6 years old

Never heard of the foxhole. Athens or Nelsonville?

I see he's in ID, OU could mean Oklahoma or Oregon to him. Could be Ohio University though.

 

[the bunnay]

Also, in full disclosure I am currently wearing flip-flops. Like 2" sole and reasonable arch support flip-flops, but flip-flops none the less. **ducks**

 

[DeathBrewer]

Steel toe boots over here. Apparently, I'm more manly than all the guys that are terrified of those bag-toting metrosexuals.

I was born and lived in Ohio for the majority of my life so far. A lot of my friends went to Ohio University in Athens, including my best friend who would throw many parties in my honor - including my bachelor party, where we ended up at "The Foxhole". I have NO friggin clue where it was! I actually think it might have been in WV - like I said before... memory very, very fuzzy that night. Anyways... if you have ever seen the movie "Porky's" it was EXACTLY like that from the outside. Long, bumpy, dirt roads through the deep woods opening up to a perverse, neon glow that beckoned like a siren on the shores of Anthemusa.

I am forever scarred.

I hate to wear anything but flip flops. but that could be my huge aversion to socks taking over my life.

 

[JohnnyO]

At the beach or in a tourist-y area, I can tolerate flip flops. But when I see someone, especially a guy, wearing flip flops in an urban area, I want to smack them.

I will admit that I own a pair of sandles (sorry folks, hide behind the straps all you want - they're flip flops), but I only wear them when going to the beach or a pool.

As for the heavy set ladies and bikinis. There should be a law. Whatever happened to the one-piece? Christ.

Jumlligan,

I was at Outter Banks last week myself.

Sure wish I would have know you were there, I would have bought you & HWMBO a beer or 3.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I'm in the navy. I love the summer whites on a woman. They are so see through that if they aren't wearing the grannies (as per regulation). You can see the beav with no effort.

You really need to spend less time on boats.

you really wouldn't like any coastal SoCal city if that's the case.

Are Tevas considered flip-flops?

I like my Tevas a lot, do not wear them all the time, but consider them a warm weather treat...

I have a pair of Tevas and whilst they are comfortable.. I wear them only when taking out the trash or when I step out the back door to bbq.

I don't consider them shoes and refuse to wear them outside.

My gf likes flipflops and I forbid her to wear them when we are out together. She is allowed to wear them to/from the gym and around the apartment. Thats it.

As for fat chicks in tiny bathing suites... thats just plain disgusting. I've got a nice little/big (depending on who's looking) belly... but I don't advertise that **** except at home.

D'oh! Bummer - I should have posted that we would be in the area!
Hope you had a good time while you were there..

Oh, that sounds like a relationship made in heaven, right there.

I can't even imagine El Hubbo attempting to "forbid" me wearing anything. I do what I want, he does what he wants. Sometimes he asks me for advice on dressy clothes and I oblige. Otherwise, I keep an eye on his wardrobe and buy him pieces here and there. It's what I do, and it's about respect.

As for fat girls and skimpy clothes, I think it's their choice. I don't have to agree when I see some horrible fashion faux pas, but I'm not going to ridicule them. If I don't like it, I look somewhere else. I don't feel that heavier women should wear burkkas and come out only at night. Again, I feel it is only their business.

My only real complaint is when teeny-boppers (ages 11-16) wear overtly revealing clothing. Their parents should be slapped. Who the hell wants some pedophile oogling their child who is dressed as a whore?

That is the ONLY thing I ask of my GF.. so is that too much too ask?

No trailer park flip flops unless to/from gym or around apt.

We don't live in a trailer, we don't get a TV spot on "Cops" on a regular basis and we can afford something more than 99c at the dollar store for a pair of shoes.

I don't think I'm out of line wanting my woman to look just a hair better than trailer trash.

The worst is the girls that wear makeup and "sexy" clothes that actually do make them look older. They can look totally different one day to the next. The head-turner one day will turn into a little girl the next. Are they actively trying to get older guys to meet chris hansen? I had a friend almost get tricked once. He actually picked her up for a date and she was in the car before he realized how old she was. "OK, you're going back home..."

And yes, their parents should be slapped into slapping their kids.

Yeah. And little girls aren't so "little" anymore either.

I am so glad to have spawned boys. But, I know that is not entirely a saving grace. Saddest bit is, my best bud has a girl so it'a high probability she'll be the experiment. Uggg.

he he.. How long was she in the car??

Seriously, a friend and I have had this conversation before. Is it bra technology that has "advanced" the appearance, or is it the growth hormones they are putting in the milk nowadays?

 

[DeathBrewer]

Girls are definitely taller than they used to be, but I think it's mostly clothes that add curves and makeup that makes them look like street walkers.

He met her on his bike the day before. Then got her number. Then picked her up the next day. He got in the car and took off and then "noticed" and asked her age. I don't know if he noticed because of her attitude or what, but he said she looked completely different than the day before.

Once she told him her age (she said 17, so I'm guessing 15), he immediately drove her back. I thought it was pretty funny, as I have often seen similar girls in Oakland/Berkeley...usually mexican girls travelling in small groups. They're easier to spot in large groups, it's when they are by themselves that you have to get close and check it out.

If you think they are lying about their age, give them quizzes on early 90s music.

Just....wow.

 

[Sanveann]

Oh my lord ... women (and men) wearing too-tight, too-revealing, unflattering clothes is a MEGA pet peeve of mine.

After having two kids in less than two years, my figure is not what it used to be ... but I am fully aware of that, and I try to dress in ways that are flattering and play up the good, rather than exposing the bad. It astonishes me that so many young women apparently missed out on this lesson! (I guess they also skipped the class on how having your bra straps showing is mega-tacky ... another big pet peeve of mine.)

And as for little girls and some of the clothes they wear -- don't even get me started. I about had a heart attack the other day when I was driving down a major road and saw a bunch of middle-school age girls wearing skimpy swimsuits and holding signs for a car wash. I'm sure every pervert in the city was beside himself with delight. I only have boys (so far), but if we have a daughter, she'll be wearing a full-body wetsuit if she participates in something like that!

 

[DeathBrewer]

Middle school??? I mean, I can kind of understand high school car washes, cuz high school students actually drive and it wouldn't be JUST perverts, but middle school!?

Actually, I only approve of high school car washes when they are performed by women in their 20s. Like Eliza Dushku.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Just....wow.

I'm guessin if he's that worried, they live across the street form the trailor park in the double wide "neighborhood".

I don't know where you make the connection with flip flops and trailor parks though. I would say more along the lines Very expensive basketball shoes and Brand new Camaros coupled with a welfare check and no dinner that night.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Trailer parks in my hometown = no shoes.

 

[Sanveann]

Well, that was just a guess, but they certainly didn't look older than 11-12 to me.

And actually, my husband won't even go to car washes held by local high school girls, because he doesn't want to look like a "dirty old man" (at 32!). He went to that HS, and he wants to support it, but he said he also feels like it would be inappropriate to have, say, the HS cheerleaders washing his car. (I have no objections to that line of reasoning ... I'm just as happy to have him wash his car himself, LOL!)
