Forget the metrosexual, there's a new sheriff in town. And he's big boned.

There are many styles to the latest man about town.
There's the Kevin Smith look. Even after he amassed millions for movies that didn't make any money he still dressed like a 20 something still living at home with his parents in New Jersey.

He's confortable in his LONG SHORTS look. The boys of the OC have a simular look, but Smith has got the East Coast Represented. Go Jersey, go!

It's the kinda messy hair, big glasses, full but trimmed beard, sweatshirt and t-shirt under itand long shorts that end just above the ankle. The Fatrosexual always feels more confortable in a long short. I don't know why. It might be the waistband.

Topped off with a running shoe.

The OC men take that look and give it a little rock and Roll. the beard is only at the chin and it's long. Plus the hooka shells or string around their necks. Then an ironic bowling shirt.

They both share the common trait of the opened oxford shirt over the first shirt as almost a jacket for all times.

Tips for the fatrosexual traveler
By Josh Whicker

Part one of a two-part travel series


If you are morbidly obese or just plain fat and are planning on taking a trip anytime soon, there are certain obstacles you will face that the average-sized individual will not have to consider. My goal in this article is to share my own personal travel experiences with you so that your vacation will be as problem-free and enjoyable as possible.

Flying tip #1: ALWAYS choose a travel companion who is diminutive in stature. This will make your flight much more comfortable because this allows room for some of your girth to spill into your neighbor’s seat. A few years ago I made the mistake of flying to Las Vegas with a friend who was similar in size to myself (300+ pounds) and I was plastered against the window for four hours! Talk about pure misery. That trip taught me valuable lessons and since then I have never traveled with anyone over 130 pounds.

Flying tip #2: Wear pants with no pockets. On the same trip to Las Vegas, my first as a fatrosexual (I did not become grossly overweight until my early twenties), I made the mistake of wearing slacks with pockets. What is the problem with that? I could barely fit between the armrests of my seat, and every time I sat down, my pockets would catch on the armrests. Needless to say, my slacks ripped, and I ruined a $30 pair of pants.

Now when I fly, I wear sweat pants or nylon running shorts that allow me to get in and out of my seat easily. It may not look pretty, but it will save me a fortune in clothing costs in the long run.

Flying tip #3: Do whatever you have to do to get moved up to business or first class, where the seats are more spacious. My wife and I were mistakenly seated in separate parts of the plane on the trip home from our honeymoon in Ireland. When I told the clerk working at the airline’s desk about the mix-up, they bumped us up from coach to business class free of charge! Now whenever I fly, I use any excuse possible to get one of those precious wide seats in the front of the plane. Tell the airline you are on your honeymoon, you hurt your leg and need to keep it straightened, or that you are claustrophobic and had a seizure on the last flight—anything you can think of that could possibly get you moved. If you can afford it, just save yourself the trouble and pay for the seat.

Flying tip #4: Eat until you are stuffed prior to a long flight. I recently flew on a cross-country flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas. I did not eat lunch in the airport, thinking that a complimentary meal would be served on the plane. There was a meal served, but the airline charged exorbitant prices for what consisted of a little meat and some vegetables. Not wanting to waste my money on such an unsatisfying snack, I waited until arriving in Vegas before eating. It was the longest three and a half hours of my life! By the time we landed, I was so light-headed I could hardly concentrate. You better believe I hit the McCarran International Airport Burger King before getting on the flight home!

With these experiences in mind, save yourself a huge amount of agony; follow these guidelines and make your next air excursion much more pleasant for yourself as a plus-sized traveler.

More tips for the fatrosexual traveler
By Josh Whicker

Part two of a two-part travel series

In the first part of this series, I discussed how to make the lives of fatrosexuals more enjoyable when flying. My next mission is to offer tips that show our portly and plump readers ways to pick a perfect vacation hot spot and how to cope with problems faced once they reach their destinations and are on the ground.

To make your trip a pleasant experience, a lot of planning and research must be done. The most important thing to find out before going on a trip is how much walking and physical exertion it will involve. If you are like me and try to avoid strenuous toil as much as possible, it is important to pick a vacation spot that will allow you to have fun without working for it. The best way to do this is to ask yourself the following questions: Will this trip involve walking tours? Does this location have public transportation? How far away from the hotel is the nearest restaurant? Will there be stairs I have to walk up? Will it be hot there? If the answers to these questions fit your ideals, then it is all systems go!

Even though we try to avoid it, there will probably be some time during a trip when we are forced to do some walking, especially if you are on a sightseeing tour. One thing that is many times overlooked by fatrosexuals is the importance of selecting proper undergarments for travel. Boxer briefs are the way to go for the big man. Here is how I learned this lesson the hard way:

Two summers ago, I drove to Colorado with my friend Melvin to see the Rocky Mountains. We stopped in Glenwood Springs for gas, and saw a sign directing tourists to the cemetery where legendary gunslinger Doc Holiday is buried. Being a history buff that loves reading about the Old West, I wanted to pay my respects. We started walking up the half-mile trail to Linwood Cemetery. I was wearing bikini briefs under my shorts at the time and my legs rubbed together when I walked, causing third-degree burns on the insides of my legs. Luckily I was with a fellow fatrosexual who was able to help escort me down the hillside and rush me to Valley View Hospital for treatment. Ever since this episode, I have worn boxer briefs to prevent this painful experience from happening again.

Another important thing to remember: When traveling to any location, regardless of climate, always pack so-called “summer clothes”. Forget what those travel guides say about wearing layered clothing and heavy winter coats when visiting locales like Alaska or Greenland—these books were not written with fatrosexuals in mind.

On a winter trip to England a few years back, I expected rain and frigid temperatures, so I took a heavy jacket along with me. Sure, the temperature got down in the 30s, but every time I got tired of carrying the coat and put it on, I would break out instantly in a sweat. I finally got so fed up with lugging it around that I threw it into the River Thames as my tour group was crossing London’s Tower Bridge. If you are like most fatrosexuals and complain constantly of being hot and sweaty regardless of outdoor temperature, do yourself a favor and leave the outerwear at home.

My final pointer for would be travelers is this: always familiarize yourself with your surroundings and investigate where the best public restrooms are. Sooner or later, nature is going to call, and you fatrosexuals out there know that there is a good possibility it is going to be an emergency, especially after sampling the local cuisine. Avoid subways, stadiums, and public parks; these have some of the filthiest toilets the world has ever seen. Instead, look for relief in latrines in areas that are well maintained. Cathedrals, national monuments, and casinos usually have the best facilities with the cleanest seats. Some even have attendants there to ensure visitors have a pleasant experience.

I hope this advice will be a valuable tool for fatrosexuals who are planning any trip, big or small. The principles mentioned in this travel series, if followed to a tee, should create a travel atmosphere that anyone huge in stature can appreciate and enjoy.
