Thanks for posting the comparison. I found it interesting how similar they look. As the weather has turned nicer for the summer, I've noticed that men are far more likely to be wearing shorts than women in my area. Why is this? Many of the thin younger women will be wearing shorts, but as you go upwards in age the percentage of women wearing shorts drops off quickly. But for men this is not the case-- I see both older and younger alike wearing shorts. Personally whenever I see a women wearing shorts similar to those Gap ones (which is rare sight in my area), I always think to myself they would look far better wearing jeans instead. It seems like the women's shorts that are unmistakably feminine are the short shorts and very tight jean shorts. Yet, I suspect overweight women feel uncomfortable wearing these. And if they wear something like those loose fitting asexual Gap ones, it looks just plain matronly (unless the woman is already totally beautiful looking).
