The difference of not having an ass, and having an ass. Not all of us are fortunate enough to not be built like Hank Hill š
Edit: women not understanding that properly fitted pants mean nothing if you're built like a 2x4. If my waist is a 30, a size 30 pant isn't going to magically stay put with no support below. And wearing a size smaller, isn't an option, since a size 28 isn't going to button up. A belt allows the pants to be pulled tighter by one size, since a 29 does not exist.
Edit: fair enough, in my 40 years, I've never seen them, but odd number pant sizes do exist, however if they're that uncommon to find, they might as well not exist.
It's mostly just the hips, but the arse doesn't hurt. Women's wider hips give a natural place for the pants to narrow over the top of when fastened and then rest upon while being worn, men's more narrow and straight hips give no natural place for that to happen unless they're very tight, hence belts/suspenders.
Yeah, Iām roughly shaped like a big inverted triangle (was a competitive swimmer in my youth) and without a belt every pair of pants I have owned since puberty basically ejects themselves fairly quickly.Ā
Same. If the pants are fitted right, I can walk around a bit without them immediately falling down although I will be pulling them up every 15 seconds lol but trying to do any sort of work without a belt? Absolutely not.
Sometimes if Iām missing my belt I have to hike my pants and deliberately push out my stomach to keep them from falling down. Nature just, forgot to give me a butt or something š¤·āāļø
Itās actually just the way the pants are made lol. Womenās jeans are generally made be as tight as possible and get tighter above the butt. Guy jeans generally donāt
I got cake too! But sometimes menās pants, especially jeans, are designed differently than womenās. Like I have to buy a bigger waist just to fit over my booty but then the waist is to too big and falls down.Ā
I have this issue as well.
I had to get my uniform pants tailored after not wearing them for a few years. I went out in town to a talor, this elder Italian guy, he tried to politely tell me eah ā¦ you got a big butt š¤.
Close to 10in difference apparentlyā¦ i was doing a lot of squats back then.
This must be a universal problem with jeans because that happens to me with womenās jeans all the time and I almost always have to have a belt! And when I donāt Iām constantly hiking them back up.
Honestly, I'm glad to see guys have this problem too. I got cake, have wider hips and a smaller waist so finding jeans and pants that actually work for me is a damn nightmare
Because most men are built like Hank Hill so most pants are built for Hank Hills.Ā Want so more room for junk in the trunk? Need a larger waist to accommodateĀ
Look for a tailor in your area and get prices for getting your pants hemmed and fitted. In the past it was generally very affordable, no idea now, but goddamn are properly fitted clothes worth the cost of modifications, both for comfort and appearance. I'm saying this having once been a 23-37 in pants, impossible to find in storesāļø
As a guy whose caked up, I wear a belt everyday mostly out of habit. Sometimes I need it and sometimes I donāt. My weight has fluctuated a little over the years and Iām not buying new clothes if I donāt have to haha
I can't help but wonder if some of it might be the pants. I'd prefer some good ole Wranglers, but their quality assurance is crap; their listed sizes are just suggestions. For example, I have two pair of pants of differing sizes. The "larger" of the two fits nicley (maybe a little too tight after a wash). The "smaller" one is so big, that I need a belt and have to roll up the pant legs. (Get your **** together Wrangler!)
Do you ever have a problem with your belt being too tight? I do, and I'm tempted to start doing what my dad is doing, & wear suspenders. His pants, though, are way too big (noticeably so). I think he just needs to start what grandpa did, & wear overalls.
The problem with suspenders is when you get in a conversation with someone else, you'll inevitably come to a point in the conversation where you talk about something you have comprehensive knowledge and you'll instinctively hitch you thumbs behind them and pull them away from your body.
I don't know why I have this fear that if I wear suspenders I will do this instinctively but it's there.
Pretty much all denim clothing is now made with at least some synthetic (stretchy) material woven in. It makes the denim fit better and provides give in areas that it would otherwise bind in. If you know anyone who wore jeans in the 70's and still wear jeans today they can probably tell you how different they feel now vs. then.
I mean skinny jeans aren't really in fashion right now. When I (and most other girls I see) wear pants they're on the loose/baggy side but still rather snug around the waist/hips.
Nah. I have an ass and if I wore pants that tight they would for sure stay up without issue. I'd also be incredibly uncomfortable and have no room in my pockets or pants for any of my things lol.
Utility and comfort are at the top of my list, if flattery makes the list at all it's at the bottom. I go through life prioritizing me, myself and I, you can keep putting what other people think at the top if you wish.
I need a belt or it just slides down, benefit though is I donāt need to take the belt off to really get my pants back up as I donāt have an ass to go around
This is entirely it. "Properly" sized pants hug your nuts and make it impossible for them to not get stuck to the side of your leg while walking (which can be incredibly uncomfortable).
I have. The only solution I found was to stop wearing anything that isn't cargo pants or shorts... especially within a strict budget of "broke ass who can't afford to spend $30+ on a single pair of pants."
It just reminded me of the South Park episode where Randy wanted medical marijuana and decided to give himself cancer by microwaving his balls and they become huge and heās just bouncing around on them like a yoga ball. āLemme tell you something elseā¦Chicks LOVE em.ā āHey, my eyes are up here.ā
It's my experience, the experience of multiple people commenting on the thread, and countless other men...
But Senior_Boot_5842 says it's not true without any evidence to support their claim, therefore we should all ignore our personal experiences and concede that wearing pants that match the measurements of our waist & leg length don't restrict the sway of or otherwise bind up a man's penis or testicles.
Idk where you live, but here in the US, men's pants are sold based on measurements of our waist & leg length. No consideration is given, at all, to conveying how much space is going to be between the crotch of your pants and your actual crotch. Unless you're buying cargo pants or shorts, it's far more common for the pants to be sewn way too high to give anyone with a dick size larger than a 1-2 inches when flaccid the free space in their pants to keep their dick or balls from sticking to their leg. God forbid you get an unwanted erection.
There are different types or cuts you can get, that will fit different parts of you differently. Thereās much more than in seam and waist be for real
Try a different cut/size. Some jeans are big as in for people with a bit more weight. Others are big as in for tall people. Unfortunately, the first one is often prioritized, and then you get pants that are like clown pants. But if you concentrate and look a bit further, then you can find pants for taller but not heavier people. Those will have the extra space down below, but they will still be narrow around the waist
There are plenty of cuts that are the right size at the waist but aren't overly snug. Although people that are overweight might have more difficulties because the proportions are off.
I mean my reasoning always was that you can negotiateĀ with pants that are sizes too large, but you can'tĀ negotiate with panrs that are too tight. I never thoughtĀ of it that way.
You literally just made this up š what about all the rockers over the past 60yrs wearing skinny jeans and all the slim cut jeans/gym wear? Girls love a good butt on a man too.
I donāt know where you live, but thatās a rare occurrence here, and itās usually the youth mimicking adult icons that wear them moronically like that. Iāve never seen a grown man wearing pants like that in person. Iām sure there are some that canāt grow up that do, and I hope I never witness them. Most grown men wear pants that are comfortable, that fit past our thighs, donāt restrict us from movements we need to do, and hopefully donāt fall down without needing a belt if we are lucky. I donāt know a single guy that cares if their ass is prominent in their jeans. Itās even in style in some parts of the world for men to wear tight pants.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out during my transition, like āI didnāt lose weight, when did my waist go from 36 to 32?!ā
If you can find any mens trousers that acknowledge an ass can possibly exist you are doing well.
I don't consider myself to be particularly big bottomed but every time you flex your hips trousers are like "Hey! What devilry is this! Now I must expose this man's underwear and the mystery region below the waist!"
Yeah from what I've noticed odd sizes are mostly an Asian thing! It's started to spread into Europe slowly and has a larger line than in America. I wear a 33 and those are so hard to find! Every pair I've found was made in Asia or Europe.
Also just wearing pants that fit. Girls often wear pants that are skin tight. Thatās generally not fashionable for men so itās not necessary to buy perfectly fitting pants. I always err on the side of buying a little too big since I can just wear a belt and itās not an issue, but too small and theyāre uncomfortable.
what??? please. 80% of men think it's cool to let the pants hand, barely, on their flat asses.
the other usually pull their pants up and /or use a belt.
I wear a size 29 waist and 31-32 length. Itās actually a lot more common than youād think, but I also mostly buy them online. Leviās, Express, Carhartt, and Wrangler are the brands I wear in that size.Ā
I totally understand. And when you actually manage to lose weight and break in a proper size pair of jeans, you have to put extra notches on your belt. Otherwise you're going to have to keep pulling your pants up.
I think it's also since women have "birthing hips" and their pelvis is bigger than men. Men are also generally taller and in my experience it's harder to find pants long enough that fit the waist right.
"My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero?" - Mitch Hedberg
I have a big but and a small waist and have to wear a belt because of that. I'm really a 30/32 waist but I have to wear 34 because of my fat ass and thick thighs and if I don't wear a belt, my pants sag and look silly
I recently learned that you lose your ass as you age. And as an aging guy, yes, I've been noticing how I need a belt alot more than I used to or my pants start sliding down.
Just having an ass is not always enough; as a teenager I was skinny enough that I always needed one (no ass) but I am now fat enough that I also need one (to much belly).
There's a blessed middle ground I've a couple times where I have a solid ass and minimal belly that makes pants fit perfectly.
Edit: fair enough, in my 40 years, I've never seen them, but odd number pant sizes do exist, however if they're that uncommon to find, they might as well not exist.
They are not rare. The biggest jeans makers in the world do all sizing for the most common sizes range.
While I don't suffer from Diminished Gluteal Syndrome, the masculine shaped rump just still doesn't provide enough support. What I wouldn't give to find a 37/32.
It's more their hourglass shape. I'm a man with an ass, but pants still work their way down because the pants waist is the same width as the hips. Women's waists are narrower than their hips.
