I have seen a lot of posts lately, with people displaying what they are wearing. My first impression isn't actually the clothes, but peoples body shape. Most people on here seem to have a less than desirable shaped body, which doesn't do anything for them. I have always exercised, and can rock a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Has anyone started an exercise regime to make your body better, rather than relying on clothes to try and do that for you? I mean, you are trying to be a clothes horse, but the horse isn't in good shape to start with. I hope my post doesn't come across the wrong way, but tackling the main problem is better than trying to tailor fit the problem?

This is true, and I accept this. My only concern (if it is a concern) is that exercising the body is the best way to make clothes look good. Would if be preferable to look good in anything, or try to make oneself look better by increasing the formality of the attire that one is trying to carry off? I happen to like exercise for the way it makes me feel physically. I really didn't mean my post to sound anyway offensive, but it is merely an observation from spending too much time reading and viewing many posts on here.

This.

Many of us would like to be in better shape and have all sorts of reasons for not exercising more/eating better/whatever. One of the ways we try to look and feel our best is through our clothes, and this is a forum for discussing that. Fortunately there's also a Health and Body forum on this website, too.

It's not offensive, it's just off-topic, and a bit condescending. "Has anyone here tried exercising?" Pretty sure the answer is yes.

I clicked on this thinking it might be the start of a serious discussion instead of some tadger saying, "hey, I'm buff! Why aren't you?"

Thanks, but I feel that health and body forum isn't a place that a lot of people on this particular area visit often. It's just another topic to bring up generally, and to share views upon. It takes a lot of effort and energy, and money, to buy items that you like. Though unless a similar amount of energy, and perhaps time is put into personal fitness, then few thing that are being worn, actually look good. Maybe it is just me, and not a problem.

Ok, I'm sorry for bringing up this topic. I do not wish to be condescending, nor claim that I am buff. I was solely interested to hear what other peoples opinions are on exercising and the form of fit. Sorry for the misunderstanding guys.

Where does this leave the guys who are incredibly fit and for that reason can't find clothes otr that fit?

Not true.
There are many men who may not be 10000% fit that look great in their clothes. One doesn't have to exercise to look good in clothes.

Like I said, some people exercise because the want to and some don't.
