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!

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!

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.

Do some squats my brother, everyone loves a good ass.

I tell you hwhat

A lot of jeans don't have a good cut for an athletic man butt that I have built from 30 years of sports, mostly hockey. I end up tearing out the crotch on all my pants because I can't find the right cut.

Reporting in with a similar problem. In my case, the crotch gets worn out because I have THICC footballer (soccer) thighs

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah it definitely makes sense when I think about it!

I finally started doing squats despite bad knees to make my pants fit better.

Man I miss my high school ass, it was glorious.
