My Friend Wants To Wear Girls Pants |
|
Today he tells me, "I want some girls pants."
and I ask him, "Good lord, why???"
"They fit nice and tight. Tighter than guys pants. Chicks pants are cool."
So I just said, "Umm...alrighty, then next you'll be wearing make up, growing your hair long, wearing girls shirts and high heels too."
And he just said "Man...whatever."
Is this normal? :shrug:

A lot of my friends actually wear girls' jeans. They're a lot slimmer and fit better since they're tall and thin. I don't see them being ashamed wearing girls' jeans. :shrug: I'm an old-fashioned person, and I prefer bulky jeans, but I'm not about to call my friends sissies for their choice in jeans.

5. WHEW! Well that explains a lot. |

The friend in question is pretty tall and skinny. He's like a twig.

4. I've seen other guys doing this |

So, apparently he's not the only one who thinks this way.

8. What is he gonna do with his package? |
|
Unless he's a bit small in the groin, he is not going to be comfy. He'd be better off buying some men's jeans and taking them to the tailor to get the look he wants. Unless he wants to do some tugging and binding....
He's probably a transvestite, and isn't ready to admit it, or just doesn't realize it yet.

10. He does kind of look like a girl, heh. |
|
But that's mostly because he's tall and really skinny and has long hair. He's that 'skater type' of guy. Always whining to me about his girl problems too, blech. :puke:

11. Actually, my friends who wear girls' jeans aren't transvestites |
|
They're tall, and thin so those jeans fit them better than their usual jeans do. I don't understand why you would put down guys for wearing women's clothes when it's ok for women to wear men's clothes.

WHO, pray tell, "put anybody down?"
If you wear clothing that is societally designated for a member of the opposite sex, then you are a transvestite. Eddie Izzard is a proud transvestite, and he looks rather (disturbingly, to some) good in his war paint and outfits. He's also a rather clever fellow.
I did not make a judgment call of any sort in my comment. I happen to find some transvestites charming and amusing (the ones I am familiar with anyway, the ones who get their own TV shows, like Ru Paul and Brini Maxwell). I think your perception of any judgment or PUT DOWN is all on you, not me.

12. I think it's pretty "normal" |
|
But then, I have long hair and wear makeup for shits and giggles every now and then... Though I wouldn't wear high heels even if I were a girl.

13. Girl's pants just fit better! |
|
I've got larger thighs and butt muscles after almost 40 years of working-out. I have very little fat below the belt on the front. Men's jeans just don't fit me any longer. In Wrangler (don't laugh, I'm poor) jeans, I had to get a waist size almost 8 inches too big to get jeans big enough to fit my thighs. The waist in women's jeans is actually smaller than the hips, so it fits my waist better. Also, women's jean makers are no longer making jeans with a ridiculously high waist like the older women's ones and to a lesser extent, the men's ones. Finally, women's jeans are usually cheaper, so it's a win all the way around.
PS: Start looking at labels on blue jeans. You'll be surprised at how often guys wear girl's jeans.

Sometimes, but since stores can keep men's clothing indefinately since they don't change, you can usually find much larger discounts on women's clothing if you're patient.

I've purchased and worn men's jeans, shirts, and am now wearing a pair of men's boxers as shorts.
I've also worn a tie (not that unusual for women...it's a different look, but can be easily pulled off).
Not a big deal. Maybe he just likes the fit better.

21. Not a big fan of ties on women |
|
If ties do it for ya, go for it, but I've never cared much for it.
And it's worst at one of those mid-market restaurants that dresses the male and female waitstaff identically--black pants, man-cut dress shirt, necktie. Uhh...there is such a thing as "gender-appropriate attire."

There you have it, it's becoming cool as all hell to have skintight clothing in those particular scenes.

23. When my older brother was in college |
|
our cousin would do his laundry for him (let's just say she's a pushover). One day she got their jeans mixed up and they both liked the way the other's jeans fit that they left it like that. Neither one of them went out and bought new jeans, but they continued to wear each other's for the rest of the year.
