[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have said many times on this forum that I don’t understand why it’s socially acceptable or even expected for women to wear less coverage at the pool than they wear for underwear. I live on the beach and see people 100 times a day walk by in their swim wear and 98 percent of women look terrible. Even teens and twenty somethings. The men too.

I’m actually in exceptional shape at 48 but have no interest in dressing like this. It just feels ridiculous. [b]And I’m not a prude[/b]; fwiw I’m a huge fan of super revealing clothes in the right context. I’ve been wearing short shorties to the gym this week.

But for the beach, [b]I mostly wear my lululemon or Vuori leggings[/b] and either a bikini top or just a rash guard. I have zero interest in getting burned. I look great in my leggings and happily tell my friends I don’t want to get burned. No one bats an eye. The other moms, all 20 pounds overweight, spend the whole day awkwardly pulling down their skirt suits, clearly uncomfortable in their clothes with everyone watching. [/quote]

This is crazy. I am not wearing leggings on the beach. Who wants sand stuck between their leggings and legs all day? Absolutely not. It is the beach! One can wear a bikini and show an imperfect body. You are a prude if you are wearing leggings on the beach and in the previous part of your comment shaming 98% of people who "look terrible" according to you. The women you are shaming for feeling uncomfortable in their swimsuits are uncomfortable because of people like YOU watching them and judging. One does not have to have a body that you deem acceptable to be eligible to wear a bikini or short shorts. Get over yourself and stop being so judgy.[/quote]

NP. Agree; but the PPP is still correct that most teens and women don't actually look "Good" in their tiny bikinis. Just because you can or want to doesn't mean it's flattering.[/quote]
