Hopefully this doesn't require too much explanation. Other than why I decided to make this weird poll, but I don't really understand that myself.

Are we talking British or American definition of "pants" here?

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 1 July 2017 16:18 (seven years ago)

I do not wear "most pants", because I have standards. One of my standards is comfort.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 1 July 2017 16:46 (seven years ago)

i have very large male genitalia but let me think about the second part of this

k3vin k., Saturday, 1 July 2017 16:49 (seven years ago)

US pants not UK "pants"

And not the verb either

El Tomboto, Saturday, 1 July 2017 16:56 (seven years ago)

I voted #3 but the discomfort isn't caused by my genitalia, it's caused by my body fat being encased in unforgiving fabric tubes.

quet inn tarnation (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 July 2017 20:16 (seven years ago)

i was gonna say "comfortable" but then it occured to me that as soon as i get home if i've got no intention of leaving the house i get into my lounging around gear/pyjamas

after thinking about it even comfortable pants aren't very comfortable i'd rather wear a dress tbh

I have his one pair of jeans that's so awkward-fitting that my genitalia goes numb when I wear them and am sitting down. and yet when I stand up they're practically sliding off of my hips

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Saturday, 1 July 2017 20:53 (seven years ago)

I've jeans that tear my balls like soft white bread but in general my pants are ok

I hate pants

horseshoe, Saturday, 1 July 2017 21:39 (seven years ago)

Though I do admire how the young women of today have managed to wear a cute version of sweatpants out and about and made that the norm.

But fuck pants.

horseshoe, Saturday, 1 July 2017 21:40 (seven years ago)

since i had my cloaca installed in '08 i've enjoyed the luxury of freely picking and choosing from across the entire spectrum of pants, safe in the knowledge that everything from a jegging to a harem pant will be flattering AND comfortable

🎵oooh, kevin has a place in perth🎵 (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 1 July 2017 22:00 (seven years ago)

I'm generally pro pants but have been going through a not comfortable phase due to a combination of weight gain and testical sag.

I do wish kilts would stop being an affectation and just get mainstreamed already

I realize that phrasing makes it seem like kilts have some agency in this - maybe I think they do

emil.y, Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:35 (seven years ago)

Yes that post basically won the thread

El Tomboto, Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:36 (seven years ago)

I'd still rather wear trousers than any other form of lower-half covering, though.

emil.y, Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:36 (seven years ago)

Or nudity. That is also bad. Let's face it, corporeality is a curse and we should all be seeking a way to dehex ourselves.

emil.y, Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:38 (seven years ago)

maybe some kind of unisex purple track suit arrangement with comfy pants

I should invest in more tracksuit pants (and under armour boxer briefs) I think

El Tomboto, Sunday, 2 July 2017 18:14 (seven years ago)

I stopped wearing pants in favor of shorts three months ago and probably won't wear pants again until November.

If you hate pants and kilts seem too out there, why not go with the tried and true toga?

i wore pants all fucking day today, in the intense heat, on the roof, in direct sunlight, driving 45 minutes there, 20 minutes there, then 30 minutes home, then walking the dog to the opposite edge of our usual route then running the dog all the way home because she was terrified by the fireworks. then i took off my pants and put them in the bin because mustard flew out of my mouth while eating a veggie dog and landed in the upper inner thigh area of my pants.

Karl Malone, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:24 (seven years ago)

and you know what? i'd do it all again in a heartbeat, in those pants

Karl Malone, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:24 (seven years ago)

so fuck yeah i voted that pants are comfortable, you can do fucking anything in pants

what is "most pants"? i like the pants i have. they fit, they're comfortable, i think they look good.

flappy bird, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:48 (seven years ago)

i don't try on "most pants" so i wouldn't know if "i find that they are comfortable." this is a confusing poll

that look the dressing room attendant gives you when you bring in 10+ pants

Karl Malone, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:53 (seven years ago)

I think levis 511s changed and are not as slim as before. The bagginess is compounded by the fact that they stretch out over time and I keep needing to tighten my belt. Going to try to purchase some other pants tomorrow -- maybe 510s, maybe another brand altogether.

Treeship, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:54 (seven years ago)

I actually think something about the shape of my torso makes it hard for pants to stay up.

Treeship, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:55 (seven years ago)

my new 511s also feel wider but i think that's because i lost weight

Karl Malone, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:55 (seven years ago)

I lost weight too but I remember being this weight before and 511s not being this loose.

Treeship, Monday, 3 July 2017 03:57 (seven years ago)

btw this was my google search so i'm not sure why it put "best ass" in bold.

i guess enough people have searched for "most iconic butt" and eventually ended up clicking on "best ass" that google slowly learned that's what people secretly want even if they don't realize it

I was on the fence here until someone raised the prospect of shorts. Count me in for Team Pants, swamp ass is a small price to pay for not being seen in shorts.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 3 July 2017 21:00 (seven years ago)

Much rather have my legs covered than un-, yeah, unless actually swimming. And IME, if your pants are uncomfortably tight, that means you are wearing the wrong size, wrong cut, or both.*

And because I am a burb dad who gives exactly no fucks, I can just find like one pair of comfortable chino-type thingies and just buy them in every color.

*: I have said the same thing about dress shirts. If you buy or wear uncomfortable clothing, ur doin it rong

bacon lettuce and tornado (Ye Mad Puffin), Monday, 3 July 2017 21:12 (seven years ago)

yeah i was kinda jesting with my post. For most of my life I've preferred pants, I feel like there's some stigma around shorts when you're in your 30s, and pants do look more pro.

IDR posting this. But yes, in my experience it's less the crotch and more the waistband.

Diana Fire (j.lu), Monday, 3 July 2017 22:25 (seven years ago)

Tombot, the answer is one, or two at the outside.

If a Banana Republic/Land's End/LL Bean no-iron chino is comfortable in tan, it will also be comfortable when purchased in navy, olive, charcoal, and (if you're feeling daring) bone. Five or six pairs will last me quite a while.

They can dress up or down as needed and they're fairly neutral colors. Most days, literally all I do is choose a t-shirt; if I need to go to an office I just put on a dress shirt or polo shirt instead. Occasionally I will buy jeans, but have rarely found any that are comfortable.

so you agree most pants are uncomfortable

El Tomboto, Monday, 3 July 2017 22:30 (seven years ago)

swamp ass is a small price to pay for not being seen in shorts.

Some time in the vicinity of 50 I gave up on vanity about my legs and allowed myself to be seen in shorts whenever the occasion moved me.

A is for (Aimless), Monday, 3 July 2017 22:47 (seven years ago)

I wear shorts at home, but the vicinity of 50 was when my pale spindly hairless stems got too gross to go out without me changing into jeans.

Mr. Crackpots (WilliamC), Monday, 3 July 2017 23:22 (seven years ago)

Mr. 'boto, "most pants" may or may not be uncomfortable. I haven't worn all or even most of them, so I don't know.

All pants that I buy and wear are extremely comfortable. Otherwise I would neither buy nor wear them.

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 00:35 (seven years ago)

My main objection to shorts is having to slather on the white housepaint several times a day to stop my legs from turning red and crispy; Aussie sun is fierce.

As for the trousers thing, very much in the camp of 'if hey are uncomfortable you are doing it wrong' although with a side of 'the clothing industry is seriously fucked up about sizing'. I've got trousers in my wardrobe that range from 34-40 inches in nominal waist size, some of which is cut and waistband position, some of which is wait change, some of which is just the vagueries of clothing and the rise of vanity sizing.

Happy to have lost a bunch of weight this year, though; being closer to what the clothing industry considers nominal makes things a lot easier.

since i was a teen i have preferred 70s slacks, "grandpa pants", the kind you see in thrift stores that may have come with a cheap suit at one time and are now to be had for under 4 dollars. maybe they are by Haggar. maybe they have a ticket in the pocket that says "Inspected by number 56". maybe the legs are too long and they drag on the floor around my feet. GOOD. i love it.
