re: "It's hip to be round"
I'm so ahead of the curve. I've been rockin' this look for a looong time.

i'd like to hear just one woman here say they actually like the potbelly look over a flat stomache. also, this story was covered yesterday....between showing pics of the day twice, and stories twice, i think bstoner needs some better organization tool.

Depending upon how much money a guy has, goldie, some women like that look. On a 20-30 something hipster with no money, it's gotta be a real fetish to want that. Sad, really. :)

Firstly
that pic above is amazing!
and yes I even commented on the pot belly look yesterday when they ran this story! sorry but being a stick thin man with a pot belly isn't normal - they should go to a gastro dr!

One of those pics is of me.

how in a first world country do you have bodies resembling starving kids with distended stomaches? ugh. i see a new hipster bar game coming on where they gather in bars, lay on their stomaches, and see who can spin the most revolutions like a top.

stop calling those folks in pics hipsters. Just because some loser NYTimes style writer had to come up with an article you buy into it.
They are called schlubs. Always called schlubs. Walking around a flea market in a tee shirt does not a hipster make.
