- Hi Celeste,
- You are incorrect on both counts. I have thick muscular thighs
- and a trim, though heavily muscled midsection from all of the
- athletic training that I do. In short, I have an athletic build,
- not unlike that of a strong male cyclist. (I am a strong male cyclist)
- There is no mistaking my build for that of a woman, not even from 20 paces.
- Apparrently, the folx that make men's thermal underpants must believe
- that all men have skinny thighs and thick bellies. The manufacturers
- of _athletic_ gear, as in cycling apparrel, for instance, happen to know
- better. I also pointed up that the so called "women's thermals", that
- happen to be a good fit for an athletic man of small/slim frame, will
- _not_ properly fit an athletically built woman of small/slim frame.
- I wonder where such women can go to buy _their_ thermal gear, or do
- they simply have to put up with thermals that don't fit properly?
