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!
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
The belts keep the pants up, the pant loops let the belt up. Who is the real hero?
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.
What’ll really blow your mind is look to see if the belt color matches his shoes.
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
I’m an elder emo… I still wear my studded belts. D:
Same here! Rarely leave the house without it
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
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.
This will outlive us, no matter the platform.
If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.
Is that why no one at the gym will spar with me as a brown belt!?
Prestige mode. Excellent.
I always thought about this and sometimes I’m like… wait this belt is actually gross…?
I wash my belts
Jokes on you, I wash my belt all the time!
…which is definitely not because I leave it on my pants and forget to take it off before I throw them in the laundry.
You guys aren’t washing your belts?
Alright.
I’ve never even thought about it. I use leather belts and I throw them out after they wear out.
You can’t exactly toss them in the machine.
Now, the belts I’ve had over the years that were made from cloth went in the laundry with everything else.
I don’t know why I never thought about this.
You wear out leather belts? I swear I still have the same 3 leather belts I had 15-20 years ago
There’s a lot of shitty “leather” belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather
Exactly. I have one really expensive belt my uncle gave me that I’ve been wearing since about 2012 and it’s just fine.
I have trashed several Walmart belts in that time.
I have a Dickies belt that has held up pretty well too.
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
You gotta keep your belt clean.
You never know when it’s going to be used for a naughty time
We’re talking about choking, right?
David Carradine over here.
are you pooping on your hands? Why would you be worried about “touching” anything after pooping unless you’re getting poop all over your hands.
