Came into this thread wondering “who the hell wears belts?”. Then saw everyone in here was taking belt wearage as a given. Then looked over at my husband and saw he’s wearing a belt.
TIL, all men apparently wear belts and I just never noticed before.
Men’s pants can be a lot more loose around the waist and we typically have no butt to hold things up.
It’s to leave space for full pockets
You know, in my jealousy about the capacious pockets in men’s pants, I never thought about how they must weigh the pants down when they’re full of keys and wallet and phone and tampons and condoms and stuff. No wonder y’all need belts!
Before I transitioned I used to wear cargo pants. (When presenting male, I didn’t give a fuck what I looked like lol). I put so much stuff in those pockets, including a charger for my laptop. My pants were so heavy I had to wear suspenders to hold them up - a belt wouldn’t cut it.
Yarp. I have a pair of shorts I wear around the house, no belt no problem. The moment I put anything in a pocket, though? They’ll be 'round my knees if I don’t watch out!
Do some squats my brother, everyone loves a good ass.
You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don’t usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She’s like “I knew women’s hips were bigger but Jesus Christ”.
I mean I’m trans and even though I have massive hips to keep my pants on, wearing a belt still helps me pass better since they’re so ubiquitous
3 years ago I didn’t wear any Then I did for work for like a week
I where one every single day now, it makes me feel Soo well in my clothes
That is the style at this time.
Not just men, I’m a woman and I wear a belt regularly. It keeps my pants from drooping because I’m thin with wide hips.
You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.
I’m sorry, the what now?
The poop-knife.
Fellow poop knife enjoyers i see!
wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.
If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.
I hate that I know this now.
This reminds me, I need to go see if Lemmy has a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community yet.
Wash your hands in the bathroom, nobody bats an eye.
Scrub down your belt buckle in the sink and people lose their minds!
Here’s me running ass naked after pooping to wash my hands before pulling up my pants
