| Fig. 7.29: This is a real man's belt |
Americans, you all need to get off of your fat patooties andstart losing some weight. I'm not saying that to keep you healthy oraesthetically pleasing. I'm saying it because it has become far too difficultfor a short, skinny guy like me to find a belt in my size. It seems beltcompanies, like most companies should be, are catering to the average American.The problem is that the average American has a body mass close to that of asmall moon (or is that a space station?). I'm a size 34 belt, and such a smallsize is incredibly difficult to find, even in the boys section where I canstill purchase pants that fit me. Heck, it's pretty tough even to find a beltthat is smaller than 40. I was walking through the mall the other day trying tofind a belt, and most stores did not carry any belts smaller than 38, wherethey had maybe one or two of that size. Whenever I do find a 34, it's usuallyone of those dreadful "reversible" belts that no one buys because they fallapart about a week after you start wearing them. And don’t get me started onthe Polo Ralph Lauren store, where their belts cost upwards of fifty dollars.Those guys can (remainder of post cut off due to lack of interest).

Do I know it. Seriously, I can't find pants that fit me. I'm a size 0 in juniors/womans, and even sometimes that's too big for me! On belts...well, that's not too bad, but they're all so big, shiny and flashy...they sting my eyes! -sigh- What is happening to the fashion industry nowadays?

Well actually,that may also be because you are of smaller build. Like people of a larger build may have a larger belt size even if they are also very thin.
I'm petite, so it is often difficult to find jeans that are not too long for me, or ones that aren't too loose in the waist. Like I remember last year all the pants I would try on fit fine through the legs and butt, but the waist was super loose and stuck out under shirts, and that just got on my nerves. And the ones in a smaller size(Im size 2 or 3) were too tight in the bum. @_@ Luckily, Ive found American Eagle has jeans that fit me perfectly - phew. And don't get me started on "capris"... they are OBVIOUSLY made for tall women because if I try any on they just look like high-waters,not capris. Lol. Not that capris look good on short girls anyways - just make us look even shorter!

Yeah i have had similar problems. At least mens belts are like womens, because it is almost imposible to find a womens belt tha doesnt have some stupid design, or somthing written on it. Its like i just want a black belt, not one that has hotty written all over it.
