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!

    Can def see that after being used to them one way for so long! I remember young getting a coat that was for the opposite sex,it was sooo much easier to button for me. Made me wonder why neither sex was allowed to be a lefty for ages, lol.

      It’s weird how often this comes up. I can’t imagine life as a lefty. This happens with golf clubs, all sorts of sports stuff in general. Used golf clubs for lefties are always $100-$200 more.

      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
