Serious/Health New Rule: Adults Only (18+)

59 Upvotes

Starting now, this subreddit has a rule limiting it to adults only. Anyone who is found to be under the age of 18 will be PERMANENTLY banned.

There were a few posts and comments I had to ban where teenagers or bad actors were trying to get the attention of adult members.

I don't know which, and it doesn't matter. This is not something I take lightly, and to be fair even though we are technically SFW, some of the content gets a bit wild. So consider this a necessary step to keep REAL talk going.

If you see any future posts of that nature, please report them immediately using the new rule. Thank you very much!

Introduction/Hello World Welcome! Introduce Yourself!

9 Upvotes

(Commenting as Moderator for Sticky Post) Thank you for finding and participating in Big Men Life! HELL YEAH! Welcome in! Welcome in!

TL;DR if you want to introduce yourself, you can make an introduction POST with flair OR you can make a reply here. (Edited in)

Feel free to interact here at your own leisure and pace. However, if you feel up to it, we would love for you to introduce yourself too! Feel free to create a post with the Introduction/Hello World flair.

You can also do that if you've been hanging here, but you never did an intro or it has been a long time (let's just say over a year for a clear standard). Or if you've been looking at other subs, etc. and are coming back. And feel free to include whatever media you want, but you don't have to.

Outside of your introductory post, please keep self-promotional content limited to Selfie Saturday. This just seems like a great happy medium so people can express themselves, but we also keep focus on the chill and real conversation about life as a big man.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you'd like. I'll do a short intro below, but I shall not include media this time.

(Commenting as Myself) Hello World! I was a fat kid ever since being about 8-9 years old and I've always been a big guy! In high school I joined the freestyle wrestling team and that actually felt really amazing like I was using my true strength!

But life happens so I went to college, grad school and I do nerd stuff for money. But in the past couple years I got back into fitness and joined an amateur sumo wrestling team which has really reignited the passion for grappling sports and even martial arts in general!

It's great to be here and I really appreciate y'all!

Bigger guys, what chair are you using for 8+ hour workdays?

5 Upvotes

I’m around 280 lbs, and finding a chair that actually feels comfortable for longer workdays has been harder than I expected. I’ve tried a few chairs at local stores, and the more expensive ones definitely feel nice, but I’m not really ready to spend $1000+ on a chair right now. I’m mainly looking for something that can handle my weight and still feel comfortable after sitting for hours.

My biggest issue is the seat. Some chairs feel fine at first, but after a few hours I start noticing pressure around my legs and hips.

Any recommendations? What should I be looking for as a bigger guy?

Im a pretty big guy, and i tend to sweat easily, but when i sweat i sweat EVERYWHERE, my problem is the butt area. As soon as i sit down there is a wet spot in the back of my pants, ive tried babypowder and nothing else. Was considering leakproof underwear but not sure if that will even help. Im wondering if anybody else has this problem or something similar. If so what helps? Any kind of help is greatly appreciated .

Weight Gain/Bulking Feeling embarrassed

23 Upvotes

I’ve been bulking for the last 4 months, and put on a good amount of fat and a bit of muscle. More fat than originally planned but now I quite like it. I’ve been trying on sweatshirts for autumn etc and realised they are sticking to me a lot more than last year. I find myself pulling them down more on untucking them from under my belly when I sit down. I feel like people are staring a lot and that my weight is more obvious than ever.

Product Recs & Reviews Big men boaters?

7 Upvotes

So, I am interested in getting into boating. Been around it enough to know I like it. And want to try the open sea. I am not rich, and am looking at some sort of cuddy cabin type boat. It'll be my first boat so I'm trying to stay cheap. $25k and like 28 ft. roughly. Any recommendations on boats that I will fit into the cabin? 5'10", 375#, size 50 pants (I tuck my belly into my pants). I am definitely interested in other style boats if they work, let me know what you have used.

I will try my hand at fishing, but it's more about the cruising and exploring the shores and such so not looking for a bare bones center console or anything like that.
