6'1" wearing 32" length? You must have short legs and a long torso. I'm 6' and struggle with 34" length. Most end up looking like high waters.

maybe so, I figured I was pretty proportionate.... although I do wear my pants to sit more at the top of my kicks opposed to the sloppy look of walking on them...

My sock game is skrong tho

Well if there is a waist size that defines overweight then exactly what is the weight that defines overweight?

Most if the big and tall stores advertise "waist sizes 38 and up" so I would go 38 or 40

6'4 220 and I wear 36. I got pretty slender and dipped into a 34 a few years back, but I was way too thin for my frame. A lot of short fricks in this thread talking out of their asses

Exactly. If a chick is 145-150 is she fat? At 5'2" - yes, at 5'9"-5'10" probably not.

Depends on height and frame. A guy that has a stocky build will have a larger waist than a girlie man built like Beiber. Waist size alone doesn't determine if someone is fat.

I'm 6' 230 and I'm in a 34 now but I buy 36's in some pants. I have a stocky frame and lift heavy. Deadlifts will give you a thicker core. At 38 I'd feel really fat.

You downvoters are fat pussies

Height to waist ratio is what we should be looking at here.

I wear a size 32 waist, but my waist actually measures at 36". My ratio is .54. I'd like to get to .50

Anything above .56 is a fatty IMO.

CDC identifies 38 as the point atwhich health issues are statistically more likely.

I think it is more a length to width ratio.

8"+ larger width than length definite fatty.

I'm 6'3" 205 and wear 34x34, and wore that size while very lean.

I'm in my late forties and rocking a dad body. I've been 6'4" and 200+ since I was 14. At 285 my waist is a 40 right now and I'm a fatty. At 235-240 I'd have a 36 waist. My doc says 235-245 is my ideal weight

There are very few men with a 40" or more waist who aren't fat, imho. Ive always been curious how those huge athletes find clothes, ive always had hell finding something that fits well.

I am betting there are a lot of people in this thread that are measuring their "waist" as the area 8" below their navel and actually look like your guy here .
