Hey all, figured I’d start doing a free talk thread if people are interested. I had one back on Reddit that I was in and it’s fun to just post whatever thoughts your having throughout the day (especially when work is boring).

I’m sure it’ll take some time to get going, and if there’s no interest I won’t spam. Just figured I’d see how it goes!

    My thing is womens jeans. So many women complain about having these tiny little useless pockets. Fine, wear small mens jeans then. Sizings are different since its based on waste inches instead of whatever womens are based on.

      Yeah I’m not even sure what the formula is for that. Are they just arbitrary numbers designed to make people feel bad about themselves? Like the numbers are so low. It make sense to do it by inch or whatever.

      That being said I also ran into issues wearing jeans because as guys we wear our jeans at our hips, not up higher. I kept buying pants that were too big because I was measuring my stomach.

      (wow this thread is making me seem not very smart lol)

        Right, i have no clue what their numbering system is. It really does make women feel bad if they have to buy bigger clothes

      The problem is women have defined hips that men don’t usually have, so a 32" men’s jean doesn’t adjust for a 40" hip.

        Yeah I posted this above but it’s also just a difference in how men/women traditionally have worn their pants. Men wear theirs down around the hips, not at the actual waist. So I kept measuring and buying pants that were too big because I was measuring at my stomach. All my pants ended up being 2-3 inches too long.

        Hmm, okay. At least the women i know who have tried mens jeans have always had to go with the smallest they could find to keep them from being to large
