    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.

          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.

        That’s a fashion rule that I think is stupid but obey 100% of the time.

      massive phone, wallet, keys, car keys, airpods, tape measure; all kinds of stuff on the pockets, need a belt to hold the pants up
