HAHAHAHA. I hear ya and JenSW.
I am not overweight by a long shot, but my body type is more J-Lo than Kate Moss. I am tall with long legs (torso isn't all that off normal length) so a 2" inseam short is oftentimes just stupid looking. Of course now, in some inane effort to make running "sexy" they make shorts with 1.5" inseams which means nothing more than my booty will bounce out of them (not good).
The Nike Tempo shorts fit but they make your ass look like a blob of fabric. I wear them because I don't really care what it looks like so much as "is my butt cheek saying hello to strangers?" and "if I run in the rain or high humidity will I need bag balm?" questions receive a resounding "NO".
I have found that Pearl Izumi shorts fit well and the Mizuno Mustang running shorts work well for me. They are a tad longer and they have a zipper pocket (handy dandy). The liner doesn't give me fits either.
Oh, and those shorts with the cutesy boy short liners are nothing more than a giant recipe for frustration when you have a booty. I do more picking fabric out of my hooha than running if I wear those.
