Since I live in a college town, the only people I see wearing the baggy pants are black guys and maybe a few white guys that do it. Most of the little frat boys we have running around here wear the medium fit, although they seem to be getting into a slightly tighter fit. The only ones who wear the really tight pants are the hipsters and scene assholes.

I guess clothing is a factor in picking out a potential mate, at least for me. I generally don't even talk to the guys with popped collars or expensive brand clothes. They're trying too hard to impress people, is my opinion. Unless you have a job where you're paid to look dress casual, I don't see the point in guys walking to classes every day looking meticulously groomed. Mostly I go for the jeans and t-shirt look...kinda innocuous.

For women, when is the Victoria's Secret "Pink" crap going to go out of style? Every other girl I see at school has a stupid t-shirt or shorts that say "Pink". If you're going to wear pants with a message on the ass, why not make it count? If there was a pair of pants that said "ass sex" or "dirty whore", I'd buy those because that's what is really meant by having words written there.

Oh my God that is awesome that you said that. :bowdown:

Can I print that out and show it to every single girl who tries to claim that they don't want guys to look at their ass when they wear pants like that?

 

[sputnikgirl]

Yes, yes you can. Any girl who says that she doesn't want the attention on her ass is a lying little... I know the mentality...it would be like me saying that I don't wear my short plaid skirts + boots for attention. I know exactly what I'm doing when I get dressed. Anyone who says they don't have a motive in dressing provacatively is in some SERIOUS denial.

Very insightful, I agree.
Haha, dirty whore written on the back of sweats, awesome.:rofl:
As far as the plaid skirt and boots, for me thats like a little slice of heaven right here on Earth.

I could be wrong but if my memory is accurate I recall in the very late 80's first seeing mostly latinos like the chicanos wearing the baggy pants. But then blacks picked up on the fad in the early 90's.

General: Why bikers wear leather jackets? Or old women hats and long coats in the summer? Ive heard enough of this "pull your baggy pants up" crap. Why can't you just let people wear what they want?

Zowhat: Styles comes and goes, baggy pants is now left with hoppers and wiggers. Were heading towards EMO now and who knows whats after that.

The reason bikers wear leather is because while it might not be much to keep you from getting hurt, if you have to take a spill off the bike, having a layer of leather between you and the asphalt your scrapping against is a lot better than having a thin layer of cotton that is going to get immediately shredded.

Yeah, I don't get the whole oversized clothes thing, especially shorts. Like I saw this one guy who had shorts that were really baggy and hung down to his ankles and he was wearing a jacket that went down to about his knees.

Hey, Yao Ming called, he wants his clothes back.

It's pretty sad, but where I'm from, most of the girls who were those types of pants with writing on the ass probably shouldn't be wearing them. Amazingly enough the place where I see them the most is at the gym. Perfect, just what I need, a girl in blue shorts with "Juicy" written on the ass doing squats directly in front of me. Honestly, it just comes off as trashy to me. :2 cents:

Because I don't want to see some guys underwear and ass cheeks, that's why.

Maybe you do, and that is fair enough. Whatever get's you off, I'm happy for you...

who is we?

 

[AFA]

I think it started as a fad to show you were poor and from the "hood" and wearing your big brother's hand me downs.

Actually as far as I can remember, in the late 90's and early 00's, if you were wearing baggy jeans you were called a "grunger" and got beaten up by all the townies, who ironically liked hip hop... Probably just a south london thing :dunno:

Sounds like motivation to me ....anything to get me thru the drudgery of doing exercise.

I think what torques me the most is the exposed boxers and low hanging pants. It just looks stupid. I can see if guys did it to attract girls but I don't really think its the case. True, girls like the bad boy image but there has to be an easier way to display this persona.

 

[CapnSexy322]

not likely. i still see people wear them.

Gotta tell ya Dave,love the English slant,those terms are totally London I guess but they sorta relate to US too.Grungers probably close to what we just called the grunge look here which was associted with Seattle and bands like Nirvana.Townies I guess sounds like people who wear more finished look clothes than grungers.I will relate a story I heard growing up.How one of the early members of the Beatles Stu Sutcliff was beaten up by a London gang know as the Teddy Boys and was kicked in the head which people blame his death like 2 months later on.I guess they were the Leather Jacket types like we had here which we called various things like Hoods,greasers or actually locally here in NJ you were said to dress Newarkie(or like someone from Newark NJ).

Here's an article about a preacher who almost got mugged when he told a punk kid to pull up his pants. Man --- what is this world coming to??
