What is up with girls always trying to hide their belly?

Question

My wife has gained weight and is always hiding her belly for pics I don’t understand why

Out of curiosity, are you in the camp of seeing women with tummies let it hang out in a bikini at the beach?

If you are, congrats, YOU don't have insecurities about your body and are happy to see other people comfortable with their bodies. Still, no need to shame your wife for not having the same confidence.

If you think large beach bikini stomachs are gross, man up and stop cherry picking how you think women should feel comfortable their bodies.

As women with health issues like thyroid issues, it's hard to keep weight off, then get a blood clot a few years ago. I work out here and there to try to keep the weight off and try to even my man helps me cook meals that are healthy for me and support me. (He makes sure I'm full and belly rubs)
She has insecurity problems with herself and you know she does. Do you help her with it by supporting her, polite putting it?

I dont understand that either why they do that, I guess it's the shame of having a bigger belly than say a skinnier girl and not getting taunted or humiliated about it.

If it's there, it's there, you shouldn't hide it, just flaunt it, it's a part of you. You can change that if she really wants too, that's her choice at the end of the day.

She knows she is overweight and also finds it unattractive. She just doesn't want to show this side of her to everybody.

Would actually be for the best of you two started working out together. Real pride in your body is much better than this sneaky game

She looks around my age, I'm 36, so we used to have better figures in our 20's.. we get older, have kids, cellulite, and even though we have husbands who love us despite the weight we gained, we still wished we had that nice, flat belly! My husband jokes and calls me Gordita! That's Spanish for chubby!

First of she is so pretty!! She is probably feeling insecure because social media etc always show skinny girls, beauty standards are horribly high these days and very unrealistic. Not often do you see the girls with stomach being hit on, complimented or all over social media...

Im sure if you keep making her comfortable her confidence will gain again :)

Its for social media, so her work colleges, friends and so on, so she wants to look her best.
Its not just for u.
Lighting, angle it all matters, very reason all magazine photos are edited to look better, it just works that way.

InYourHead · Answer

She looks good though.  But I don't try to hide my belly

Angelo75 · Answer

Gosh u have a very cute wife. (mean't as a compliment)

Just keep assuring her that she is just as cute. Just different.
Lots of men (like me) that would take a pass on skinny girls and go for a girl with some fat under her skin.

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

Obviously no one likes how their belly looks while sitting down. It’s not the most flattering thing.

Apple1996 · Answer

I don't know anyone who just wants to show off their belly fat

Subarugirl · Answer

You don't understand why someone wouldn't want to flaunt a physical characteristic that they are insecure about or don't like? ……. that should be one of the easiest things to understand...

Mangospacho · Answer

She’s pretty cute, actually, but women typically don’t like their own belly when it’s out of shape. I personally don’t mind either. Best thing to do is admire it in silence and not bring it up with her.

designer1 · Answer

Bc we were told growing up that round bellies aren’t cute. It’s getting better nowadays tho.

dustybiker · Answer

I don’t have one. But everyone has their own insecurities.

pretty_bad · Answer

Because she feels insecure about it maybe u should kiss on it some more 😏 lol and tell her how perfect she is

Anonymous · Answer

Because it makes her feel uncomfortable. You open a magazine or check social media and all of them have a fat stomach it's like if you don't look like that you're not good enough.

HeartFullOfGlue · Answer

Because a lot of people shame them for having a belly

scott04sa22 · Answer

Having kids would do it. Some women just get big from having lots of kids

Anonymous · Answer

Because people hide their bellies when they dont like how it looks.

EaterPeter · Answer

Body image issues, we all have it. I don't like my belly either.
