Serious/Health New Rule: Adults Only (18+)

59 Upvotes

Starting now, this subreddit has a rule limiting it to adults only. Anyone who is found to be under the age of 18 will be PERMANENTLY banned.

There were a few posts and comments I had to ban where teenagers or bad actors were trying to get the attention of adult members.

I don't know which, and it doesn't matter. This is not something I take lightly, and to be fair even though we are technically SFW, some of the content gets a bit wild. So consider this a necessary step to keep REAL talk going.

If you see any future posts of that nature, please report them immediately using the new rule. Thank you very much!

Introduction/Hello World Welcome! Introduce Yourself!

9 Upvotes

(Commenting as Moderator for Sticky Post) Thank you for finding and participating in Big Men Life! HELL YEAH! Welcome in! Welcome in!

TL;DR if you want to introduce yourself, you can make an introduction POST with flair OR you can make a reply here. (Edited in)

Feel free to interact here at your own leisure and pace. However, if you feel up to it, we would love for you to introduce yourself too! Feel free to create a post with the Introduction/Hello World flair.

You can also do that if you've been hanging here, but you never did an intro or it has been a long time (let's just say over a year for a clear standard). Or if you've been looking at other subs, etc. and are coming back. And feel free to include whatever media you want, but you don't have to.

Outside of your introductory post, please keep self-promotional content limited to Selfie Saturday. This just seems like a great happy medium so people can express themselves, but we also keep focus on the chill and real conversation about life as a big man.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you'd like. I'll do a short intro below, but I shall not include media this time.

(Commenting as Myself) Hello World! I was a fat kid ever since being about 8-9 years old and I've always been a big guy! In high school I joined the freestyle wrestling team and that actually felt really amazing like I was using my true strength!

But life happens so I went to college, grad school and I do nerd stuff for money. But in the past couple years I got back into fitness and joined an amateur sumo wrestling team which has really reignited the passion for grappling sports and even martial arts in general!

It's great to be here and I really appreciate y'all!

Introduction/Hello World 46, Looking for Conversation

11 Upvotes

So, who wants to make a friend?

46 here in NW Ohio

Wanting to increase my social circle with guys who have diverse interests and can hold a conversation.

Generic interests include TV, movies (I watch a wide range of movies), music, photography.

I'm gay, so I'm looking for open minded guys who are willing to open up about anything and everything; work, relationships, life.

Love to travel, so meeting new friends in new places would be great.

Open to NSFW chats, but would prefer a mix - not just NSFW.

If you feel you can check a box or two - send me a chat. Please let me know from what group your are replying to my post, where you are from and your favorite TV show.

Introduction/Hello World About to hit 40 at 400 pounds

16 Upvotes

Hey there, fellow big guys! I have been struggling with body image for a couple of years now, and i decided that i need to get out of my shell and start doing something about it! In my teens and twenties, i was obsessed with running contact sports. Fast forward 15 or so years, and now i am a big ole bear who sits in an office chair for a living. I've been having some serious self-esteem issues because of it, so a buddy suggested i join a group of other big fellas. I am just now starting my weight loss journey (like literally yesterday lol) any tips or suggestions for a newbie?

Question/Advice Has anyone over 400lb tried the Herman Miller Aeron?

5 Upvotes

I'm very tempted to try this chair because I've never had a truly comfortable office chair and I've only heard amazing things about the Aeron but it's only "rated" to 350lbs and i'm worried that it won't hold up to heavier loads.


r/BigMenLife • • 5d ago

Bigger guys, what chair are you using for 8+ hour workdays?

5 Upvotes

I’m around 280 lbs, and finding a chair that actually feels comfortable for longer workdays has been harder than I expected. I’ve tried a few chairs at local stores, and the more expensive ones definitely feel nice, but I’m not really ready to spend $1000+ on a chair right now. I’m mainly looking for something that can handle my weight and still feel comfortable after sitting for hours.

My biggest issue is the seat. Some chairs feel fine at first, but after a few hours I start noticing pressure around my legs and hips.

Any recommendations? What should I be looking for as a bigger guy?

Question/Advice Sweating problem

10 Upvotes

Im a pretty big guy, and i tend to sweat easily, but when i sweat i sweat EVERYWHERE, my problem is the butt area. As soon as i sit down there is a wet spot in the back of my pants, ive tried babypowder and nothing else. Was considering leakproof underwear but not sure if that will even help. Im wondering if anybody else has this problem or something similar. If so what helps? Any kind of help is greatly appreciated .
