Shadrack Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I've started wearing "wife beaters", a-shirts, now as underwear. My build is a lot like my grandfather who I always remembered wearing them so I thought, hey...if they were good enough for him then maybe I should try them out. I really like the way I look with them. They are like the male equivalent of a "bra" from what I can tell. If you are a little overweight, like i am, (10-20lbs) they really make a difference by distributing your fat around your waist and chest. The difference is looking chunky to looking kinda fit. If you don't wear one, maybe you should try it out ;). -shad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercuryx013 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 It's an undershirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napalm Frog Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I wear one as an undershirt, but ever since nearly ever. I just don't like the feeling of loose fabric on me. As to why they are referred to as wife-beaters, I don't know... I surely don't beat my gf :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I've always heard them referred to and have referred to them as "wife beaters." I think the orgin comes from a typical red-neck wife beater wearing them around as an actual shirt (not as underwear). I guess I didn't realize that the term was more local while this is more of an international board. If I say "wife beater" to anyone in this town they know I'm referring to underwear and not to actual wife beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkusDarkus Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 HAHAHAHA Wife-beater. I haven't heard that word in ages. I do wear wife-beaters or vests as they are more commonly known to bed sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackhbob Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Vest must be a term used overseas then, because I've never heard them called anything but wifebeaters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think I might start wearing one now..... If it can make me look less chubby :cool: ....... It could just all be in my head. But I swear it makes cloths look better on me. I for some reason have fat build up around my chest area..."man boobs" kinda. And it helps eliminate that very well! I do push-ups every night, but I tend to get fat in that area as oppose to my arse where I need it, heh. Our bodies are so weird. Well mine is anyway.
