When stating all sizes of women wear bikinis while out of shape men get slammed for wearing speedos. Keep in mind that when you are in a store there are racks and racks of bikinis with little or no selection of more modest suits for women. While in the mens department there are racks and racks of board shorts and seldom a speedo on display. In recent years there has been much said about a normal woman is considered overweight and often risks health to lose weight. On the other hand, Men with middle age spread or beer bellies are considered lazy and out of shape. In other words, an out of shape or +size woman can wear a bikini and while offensive to some eyes, it is acceptable. While an overweight man in a speedo appears to be trying to grasp a long lost physique and sees the man he wants to be in the mirror and not the man he actually is. Lets face it, according to social norms, a man in a speedo. anywhere away from a swim meet, is either gay or old and sadly often past his years in a speedo and overweight.
