    Almost bought a pair when I was in Japan, now mind you they’re around $200-$300, they’re not sliding down… I dare you try on a pair of heavy weight denim jeans and try to squat. A new episode of Ow My Balls.

    Who needs a belt? That’s what the drawstring is for.

    I am a serious professional adult.

    Also girls don’t look weird without a belt. If you are a guy and your shirt is tucked in, without a belt for some reason just looks empty and weird. I’m not sure if it’s the belt loops, the waist band, or just the lack of a decorative interruption in the outfit, but it just looks weird. On a girl like in the picture, even with belt loops it doesn’t look weird. I think it’s because the natural hip/butt shape makes the visual change on its own, where guys don’t really have that.

        For fucking real! Try being dummy tall to boot! I got a 36’ inseam and buy almost exclusively at Goodwill type places. It wasn’t so bad in metropolitan places, but now that I’m in the center of the center of the US, it seems I only find 38+x34.

      I got an accidental donk like that. Didn’t even know it was happening.

      Me, learning resistance training: 'oh, so the squat is the ultimate full body functional exercise. Great I’ll just do a bunch of those ’

      A year later I was trying to figure out why ass was jiggling when I went down the stairs.

      Pants need at least three sizes: Waist, inseam, badonk.

      I hate pants shopping for exactly this reason. Even when it’s the same exact pants they can fit differently.

        I saw a post years ago referencing the variations even among the exact same size and pattern jeans. The jist of it was, due to the way the fabric is stacked, as the die presses down through it to cut the pattern into the stack the fabric stretches/gives different amounts depending on where it is in the stack, it can be really exacerbated by dull blades too.

        I don’t even know how true it is but I’ve also noticed the wild sizing variation in jeans, even relatively good brands. You really have to go try them on if you want to make sure they fit the way you want.

    Having a butt is nice. Having a butt that clothing manufacturers design for is rare. How many memes about inconsistent clothing sizes do you want?

    Some of us have butts but also grew up with hand me downs and needed belts until they fit

    I’ll just say one thing, lack of pockets in women’s clothing. Even pants that look like they should have pockets frequently don’t. Like, the jeans the person in the picture is wearing, the two butt pockets, probably just decorative.

      I’d say most women’s jeans have functional back pockets because that’s where the phone is usually stashed. But in her case I don’t see a phone there and it’s not in her hand, so those pockets might be decorative.
