Do you look good in a swimsuit?

[Archae]

I'm asking because it won't be long before swimsuit season is here.

I see lots of them advertised in store flyers, and in TV ads.

I look awful.
I'm 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with a gut.

If anyone wants to post a pic of themself in a swimsuit, please do so.
I think a lot of DU'ers would look good in one.

1. Are you a man or a woman? Cause they have swimsuit for sale in ladies plus size stores that are

great at hiding a stomach.

2. Male.

3. Drawstring swimming trunks in solid navy blue with no horizonal stripes would work for you. Blue is

"cold" color so contracts. A Red or a yellow would expand. Go with navy blue or black.

4. A walrus would look better in a swimsuit than me.

5. NOT ME!!

I am 6'4", 220 pounds and white as a ghost.

16. I just saw on TV the other day....

....that Jergens makes a bronzing gel in a tube that is the best fake tan a person can get. Apparently celebs use the product a lot. And it can't be too expensive -- it's an everyday brand.

19. I heard that celebrities get out of cars showing off their genitals for photographers.

I don't think it's a good idea though.

6. better than i used to

but my bathing suit is two clashing pieces bought off the target clearance rack. we were out of town and forgot to pack our suits, so we just got new ones.

7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

..... No.

I don't go swimming any more.

I worry about being harpooned.

If I lie on the beach the people from Greenpeace try to drag me back into the water.

8. I really like to parade around in a speedo that is about three sizes

too small so it scrunches my junk to make it looks like I have a Sistine chapel size man business....


Seriously, trunks and I now weigh less than I did when I was in my prime years....

9. As I type this, the Elephants Taking a Bath

thread is right above this one.

[IcyPeas]

15. LOL

and they look so cute

10. My dear Archae...

I look awful in a bathing suit.

The last time I wore one, it was a leotard, which did cover some of my figure flaws.

Some.

Such is life...

[rrneck]

11. Sure! As long as I wear it

with a floor length hat.

[AsahinaKimi]

12. I look okay but there is no place near by for swimming..

and I would never swim in our ocean, not with Great White Sharks near by. Seal rock is full of Shark snacks.

[RandySF]

17. When is it ever warm enough for swimsuits?

[AsahinaKimi]

20. When you have a heated

inside pool? I don't know of any...

[RandySF]

27. YMCA/YWCA?

My wife works for a hotel chain. Sometimes we get a room no the weekend so we and the kid can go swimming.

[sakabatou]

13. So-so

[Orrex]

14. I think that I look pretty good in a swimsuit

but when I wear it to the office, they tell me that it's against policy.

So maybe I don't, after all?

[harmonicon]

18. If I just substituted it for underwear I think I'd look about the same as usual.

Few would describe that as looking "good" though.

[Kaleva]

21. Must be a regional thing. where I live, they are called "swim trunks". Women wear swimsuits.

Being 6'2", 240 lbs. and hairy, I would not look good in a swimsuit.

[HappyMe]

22. People don't scream and run away,

or try to poke their eyes out - so I would say I look acceptable.

[mythology]

23. The last time I wore just swim trunks

There were people with pitchforks and torches chasing me for days.

[annabanana]

24. lol. . . request for pictures

fail

[pink-o]

25. I look really great in anything that covers me head to toe!

I'm a 6'1" woman who weighs about 145, but believe me! Swimsuits are not my friends! Your average toddler has more muscle and less dimples in her legs than I do. So I can wear a bikini top with men's swim trunks, or else dress like an orthodox Jewish granny at the beach. But I wouldn't inflict the old, skinny, un-toned carcass on my friends or even strangers.

So I guess we're sayin you're not alone, Dude!

[NV Whino]

26. I don't know

I've taken down all the mirrors in my house.

[benld74]

28. As compared to what????

[TrogL]

29. I simply don't care. Speedos regardless.

[RebelOne]

30. Not any more. Maybe 40 years ago.

I am 73 years old, but I have videos of me in my 30s, and I didn't look half bad.

[Cleita]

31. No, and I work out all the time at the gym.

I think you just reach a certain age that it all goes south.

[UTUSN]

33. Depends: What's the definition of "a swimsuit"?!1 n/t

[UTUSN]

35. Corollary: Can swimsuit season be abolished?!1 n/t

[Denninmi]

34. Well, I guess I'm not the ugliest guy on the beach.

Oh, wait, that's not me??? Well, logical mistake, the resemblance is striking!

[edbermac]

36. I don't know...what do you all think?
