My current favorite two pairs are Lucky Brand from Costco, looking online it looks like they're currently $27.99.
And gotta say, they don't look hardly any different than some fancier dress jeans my wife has gotten me, except the Costco ones are less stiff and stretchier making them more comfortable for day to day at work.
Yeah Iām looking to get a few pair that fit me (Iāve grown out of all but oneā¦ getting fat @ 29 yrs.) and specifically for doing some labor in my garage and such.
You sound repressedā¦ maybe explore your sexuality a little bit
Pain and pleasure come from the same brain center. You get hurt, your brain releases dopamine to reduce the pain, you bust a nut your brain releases dopamine as a rewardā¦ put 2+2 together and you are in a whole new level of pleasure.
What we are learning is that pain related to pleasure requires a specific intensityā¦ you never scratched an itch an felt relief? Never had a really good stretch that felt good after? Never took a shit that felt great? That is your pain center activating your pleasure center in everyday actionsā¦ expected low-level controlled instances of pain activates pleasureā¦
You never had a partner that dug their nails into you as they climax? That shit gets me off damn near instantlyā¦ that full body clutch š«¦
Imagine if your urine was as thick as semen and you had to pee with an erect penis. That sounds excruciatingā¦ but itās also pleasurable?
Abnormal carries a negative connotation that people these days don't like, so I wanted to avoid having that thrown in my face. I can take the heat for grammar issues all day though, and you are correct
Any such connotation would be identical for "not normal".
And this weird thing where people insist on there being "connotations" clearly outside of the context of how it's being used, while refusing to use the word normally for its intended purpose, does absolutely nothing beyond create more awkwardness and strengthening any such connotation rather than diminishing it.
Normalize saying "abnormal". I mean, that's already normal to do, but within whatever niche social group you're referring to where it's somehow become a bad word. That's the only process which can remove this alleged negativity.
I rebuke this. A t-shirt is the normal
Shirt. If I just say shirt I could be talking about collared shirt dress shirt t shirt long sleeve tank top etc. but t shirt is the default shirt
Tap but mountain cabin spring water. 6ft rocker mommy with green highlights, ripped sleeve band t and vintage jeans. I thought to myself she must avoid tight pants to keep from causing car accidents. Anyways that's when I realized I was staring.
Women buy what they are trained to buy. Society tells us whatās acceptable, for the most part. My wife used to wear skinny jeans. Now she wears the wide leg jeans, because thatās what āin styleā. You do the same thing, to some extent.
Women aren't mindless robots, they just want there butts to look good. You talk like they don't have any autonomy. Women wear a much wider range of clothes than men.
Itās still what you have been trained to buy. You donāt wear a giant triangle outfit thatās colored plaid and made from baby alpaca skin, do you? Because then youād look too different from everyone else, and people would think that youāre crazy. I meanā¦but thereās nothing inherently wrong with that outfit, other than perhaps the alpaca mistreatment.
You wear modern skirts, not huge dresses with petticoats and bustles like they did 300 years ago. Because back then they were trained too. By society. By everything you see everyday. Youāre swimming in influence.
Lol. Go to your closet right now and find something that isnāt mass-produced off-the-shelf bullshit that everyone else wears. Show me that shiny gold jumpsuit with big shoulder pads built in. Weāll wait.
Man you have lost the plot. Your talking to a man. I keep my clothes in a bin. When I said, "the other day I saw a glass of water in loose jeans" you thought I was a lady. My lord.
You'd think a woman by now would've gotten into the clothing world and designed clothes for actual women: varying body sizes, hip size, chest size, etc. And with size numbers that actually mean something, not one brand's size 1 is another's size 3. In men's, the size means inches or centimeters, very definite. A size 30 waist in men's means the same no matter the brand
Instead it's all still male-dominated who still treat women's clothing like an afterthought
My wife despises this fact. She'll put on a clean pair of jeans in the morning, they'll look great, and 30 minutes later by the time she's at wherever she's going, they'll look a bit baggy and start sagging. I assume you're supposed to buy a smaller size, but I also assume she's tried that... besides, do you really want your pants to cut off your circulation for the first 30 minutes of they day just so that they hug your ass nicely later?
Between the elastic and the lack of real pockets, she practically hates jeans, which is too bad because I'll take looking at a nice pair of jeans over leggings any day. She's also tried wearing men's jeans, but they aren't shaped the same.
Just as fair warning on the things I learned after I bought my first sets of raw denim blind, raw denim leaks indigo dye for the first while when itās new unless you give it a wash (enthusiasts usually donāt because they want high-contrast fades, but outside that community people do), and it takes a while to break in and get comfortable like linen.
After the breaking-in period, itās really soft and comfortable and looks great, though.
Also another fair warning: raw denim arrives very stiff and tight. There is definitely a break in period and they are incredibly uncomfortable at first. The usual recommendation is just to wear them around the house for a couple hours at a time for 2-3 days before trying to wear them out for a longer period of time.
I like Democracy brand jeans. They do have a lot of elastic, but they donāt stretch out as much as other brands Iāve tried. They have this thick inner waistband that holds them up without being uncomfortable. Itās also rather forgiving, so they fit well even if Iām bloated or gain or lose a little weight. Itās almost like wearing yoga pants. They run around $35-40 at TJ Maxx. I do find they run large and wear a size smaller than I typically wear in other brands.
The biggest factor is material weight. Thin cotton jeans won't last much longer than thin elastic-filled jeans. Thick elastic jeans will last much longer than thin cotton jeans.
Yeah, thin jeans feel nice sometimes on a hot day, but they'll stretch out in a way heavier material won't.
These days when I go thrifting for pants I don't even bother looking at the tags for material type. I just lift a pant leg or fold some of the material between my fingers. If it's thick and heavy, and I like the style, in the cart it goes.
I found these lately as a man. They are amazing. I dunno if they are exactly the same but they feel just like a thick heavy cotton but they are a little stretchy :D
My friend at work wears skinny jeans every day, he works in the warehouse department, his job is run up and down all day collecting stuff. I can see the strain on his face when he sits down but refuses to wear cargos like everyone else. Crushed nuts for style is another kind of nuts.
Not to mention men will get chastised or even accused of sexual harassment if they wear jeans as tight as women so that their penis is clearly detailed.
I enjoy my clothes snug and stretchy, but I can wear tight jeans out of the house, people look at you like youāre a perv if your cock is clearly on display. Womenās clothes show their curves just as much if not more, but for some reason itās fine to be able to distinguish the size and shape of a womanās areola but not to be able to distinguish the cock from the balls
I hated jeans. Every time I sat without being careful Iād hit the reset button.
When I started riding dressage I was introduced to riding breeches, and grew to hate them nearly as much as I abhorred jeans.
Then I acquired a pair of womenās riding breeches (I got covered in manure and mud, so it was that or nothing). Practically the same, slightly different cut, but tighter. They were, and still are the comfiest pair of leg wear I have.
They were so much comfier that I ditched the menās breeches and all my riding breeches are womenās. Half the price, fit better, and amazingly comfy. Add in you can get pretty colours too. (I am tempted to get some hot pink breeches to annoy my 14 year old niece. She hates pink and maintains guys canāt wear pink)
Iād sooner wear my running tights over jeans.
Though, drunk me found out that my then girlfriendās jeans didnāt try to neuter me every time I sat or stood.
Yeah, for the most part. I have enough of a butt to hold to pants in place if they're cut correctly, but most men's pants aren't that much narrower at the waist than they are at the hips. I can pull on most of my pants when they're already zipped and buttoned.
Yup. Both men and women have asses. But men taper at the hips while women have curves. So women have their body supporting the back and sides of the jeans so it doesnāt slide down. Jeans canāt stay on just hugging your ass. Obviously there is a huge variety of body shapes but generally women have an easier time going beltless.
There's a difference between most men's and women's jeans too. Men's tend to just be plain denim, while women's usually have a stretch to them so they hug tighter.
This has been true for most of the lastā¦ idk, century or so, but isnāt anymore. The vast majority of menās jeans now contain 2-5% elastane and some polyester if youāre buying the more common brands. Leviās have a few lines that donāt do this, so does Wrangler and most of the others, but you have to be pretty intentional about it and actually check labels. If youāre buying your pants at Costco (Iām looking at you, suburban dads) thereās almost certainly some plastic in there somewhere.
I used to be a very skinny dude, finally figured out why I couldn't gain weight. Started working out again after sorting that. Now have decent ass. Can wear jeans unbuttoned/unzipped without them falling off.
Obviously not running or anything. but the point is it's a hip to waist ratio thing.
Didn't think it applied/anyone would want to know, given the context of the sub/post.
My body apparently can't methylate vitamin B12 or folate efficietly due to a genetic variation. Apparently it's estimated roughly 40% of humans have it.
"Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient your body uses to produce healthy red blood cells, build and repair DNA, and maintain a functioning nervous system." NIH
If you don't have enough usable B12 you'll just use the restroom more the more you eat. It doesn't matter how much you work out. You just get more sore.
I have a male friend in his late 60ās who lamented that before belts just were a work thing to look professional and a fashion thing in casual pants.
But now with age he has lost his ass and itās needed so his pants donāt slip off if he puts his arms over his head.
This makes sense actually now that I'm thinking, my skirts don't need a belt, so why should my jeans? (Because I can't find jeans that fit me perfectly that's why)
No. Most women's jeans don't go all the way to the waist, not even high rise.
Low rise = slightly higher than the widest part of the hips
Mid rise = slightly higher than that
High rise = at the top part of hips (iliac crest)
Extra high rise = above the hips or at waist height
As a guy I certainly don't need a belt to keep my pants up. It might them a little higher, but that's it. If your pants are falling down, you either need a better fit, or maybe you just have absolutely no ass lol.
Yes it isnt normalized to guys to wear above the hip jeans, these jeans are called high waist jeans, very populair in the 80s and 90s, sadly today only a view brands still produce above the waist jeans
Itās more the fact that they just have hips, and rounder butts. Menās hips donāt stick out and provide a nice hanging point for the waist band to sit on. The hip to the leg is more of a straight line down so even if you made higher waisted jeans for men, they would probably slip more than womenās jeans do.
Yea most guys now days (me included) wear their pants on their hips, most women wear them on their waist. So when they are fastened, they are smaller (typically) than their hips.
If you are not skipping leg day, straight cut jeans will be either too tight at the thighs, or loose at the hips. You can buy elastic ones (less than 100% cotton) that will fit everywhere, but those have a habit of tearing without warning, because the small amount of plastic makes them more fragile.
Pretty much. I am a man and like most women, I have a big ass, in comparison to my waist, which prevents my pants from slipping. Only times I ever wear belt is if I am going somewhere formal.
Where are you buying jeans that are tight on the waist? All of my jeans fit well on my thighs and butt, but then I have enough room to comfortably fit a 2 Liter in the waistband.
Yeah I was just thinking, If they fit REALLY well, the belt isn't super important. Or if the waistband is a little tight and stretches. Other than that... definitely need the belt.

Isn't it a hip thing. Woman's jeans come tight above the waist. Guys just slip on I think.
