Big gut, no ass.

[jb1911]

I have a hard time keeping my pants up when I'm NOT carrying. Even worse when carrying.
I have a big gut pushing my pants down and no ass to hold them up.
Don't tell me to lose the gut, I'm already trying to do that.
Suspenders have been tried and I'm not happy with them either.
I'm thinking of having velcro surgically implanted around my waist.
Anyone else here have this problem?

Go do some squats and build those legs. It'll be good for you.

Get a pair of pants that fit where they are supposed to, usually right at or just under your belly button. Then get a good belt. I like the Daltech BioBelt.

Lots of guys (I used to be this way) would wear pants that were too small and wear them under their belly. Face the facts and buy a bigger size that fits around your gut. I was really surprised at how much better everything stayed in place when I did this.

(And for the record, I do not have a small backside. This info is from my personal experience. Your results may very.)

Old man pants above your belly button, suspenders, and carry a rifle on a sling.

I considered this, but I don't want to look like a dork.

I'm going to start googling for ass muscle exercises.

I didn't say up to your nipples, just to your belly button. I'm not sure how you wear yours now. Here is kinda what I'm talking about.

I used to be in the "NO" category. Here is me now.




Here is me in all my glory. Pants just under my belly button.

I know how you feel my Mom whooped my butt clean off as a kid, I carry my Glock-27 IWB under a tight belt.
Any carry without a tight belt would be quite a show.

Seems like your pants falling down might look a bit dorky.

Pants around the belly button is a good look, right? Just like Fred Mertz from I Love Lucy.

Just get proper pants. You will get use to it. And yes try to work out. Stop eating bad. No soda at all and cut back on the sugar. It's a constant battle. I fight it ever day and I'm still over weight but I'm trying. You can do it. Or look at it this way. Do it or die prematurely. That's what I tell myself.

Good luck!

Ignore that those completely lack style... and are elastic... how do you carry a handgun with those? A Miami Vice rig?

THIS

At 22 years old, I made this change. I felt weird and dorky because every male member of my family wore their pants under their belly and most people I knew did as well (except or the bean poles, it was hard to tell if their pants were "high" or not). I got tired of my belt and button on my pants digging into me and my guns always printing because the shape of my body kept pushing the grips outward. But now my pants stay up, I'm much more comfortable carrying, and I don't get self-conscious when I have to bend over or sit down because my underwear/crack are hanging out. It's also made concealment more comfortable. For those blessed with a flat body, they can get away with wearing their pants however they want, but it isn't for everyone.

It also opens up another option for carrying:

Can you get used to a shoulder holster?

Been fighting the belly since I was 12 years old, and I am now 66. Like learning, it is a life-long event. Self-control, discipline, exercise, are helpful; but there are the two essential, basic rules.

1. If it tastes good, your can't eat it.
2. Remember Rule #1.

The good part of it is that it makes death a welcome idea. Anything is better than eating rabbit food, kale, and that other health stuff Mrs. Hussein forced on our kids in the public schools.

Oh. Man.

From the thread title I thought for sure you were going to be talking about someone's wife.

Boy am I relieved.
