I just found this picture as a great example of a big guy wearing high rise trousers

That’s cause he’s wearing suspenders. Try keeping those pants up whiteout them. Besides, only obese men with relatively slim waists can pull off low rise trouser, which the depicted gentleman is lacking.

this is either an attempt to be funny or you fundamentally don’t understand how clothes are meant to fit.

If the latter, the jeans are simply too small to fit properly.
No it’s not. Please elaborate.

To clarify.
The picture served to make a point.
An obese person wears a slimmer size pair of low rise trousers, than he would a high rise pair. That’s because the abdomen gets in the way. In the former, size is determined by the circumference of the pelvis, whereas in the later by the circumference of the abdomen. Besides that, obese people can pull off wearing low rise trousers without the assistance of belts or suspenders, which can’t be pulled off when wearing a high rise design. Not to mention size preference and it’s psychological impact on consumerism.

What? You obviously don’t understand clothing at all.
1. You’re blind
2. In the picture that I put up, he is clearly wearing high rise trousers
3. Dress trousers have an elastic around the waist of the trouser so it stays in place
4. Even though he has side adjusters, the suspenders do help keep them up and suspenders are an optional choice
5. Those green dress trousers are part slim, not tapered to suffocation
6. You only gave me a picture of a big guy wearing jeans not dress trousers or chinos
7. It doesn’t matter about which pair of trousers you wear, we’re not talking about fabric either, low rise trousers (dress, chinos, jeans, etc…) they car all cut the same because a low rise puts stress on the waist and puts pressure on the gentleman’s area
8. Low rise also pushes out the gut because low rise sits below the gut and at the waist

Talk about addressing people with lack of respect. Please extend me the same courtesy as you obviously expect from others.
Nothing you stated contradicts anything I wrote. I suggest you read post #48.
I‘m just saying there is a huge market for low rise trousers. You prefer high rise? More power to you. However you’re not the only inhabitant of this planet. We don’t all share the same build. Preferences and needs differ. It’s your prerogative never to wear a low rise pair of trousers again. Burn all you’ve got for all I care. Want to go crotchless to alleviate pressure on your junk? Be my guest. Just stop with the generalizations. Different strokes for different folks. Live and let live.

you must make your living as a sales associate at a men’s clothing store. Only then could I understand this logic.

I did read it, it makes no sense, and your argument, well it definitely would not hold up in a court of law. Also I’m from NY, so I showed you respect in the beginning, but you keep making a terrible argument and I have to stand by what I believe in. Have a great day!

Let me get this straight. By first not taking my post seriously and subsequently calling me blind and now insulting me personally you’ve showed me plenty of respect right?

May I suggest a course in reading comprehension.

If I offended you, I apologize. Also I have a masters degree and I’m working on getting my professional license as a CPA so I don’t really need a course in reading comprehension, but if you look at #48 you’re trying way to hard to make an argument. I did take you’re post serious and you don’t really understand menswear.

Thank you for educating me and good luck getting your CPA license.

I have little sympathy for posters who make assertions based on limited
information. Five minutes on the internet would have revealed that his claim
is incorrect.
You’re a bozo “comrade” for taking this topic that seriously. You must be a hit at parties.
