What’s the difference between 1 inch? A huge indentation in your waist and total discomfort.
I like to purchase my clothes from Amazon because it’s cheap and I don’t have to go to the mall. I usually buy the Dockers, non-cargo, shorts for $24.99 in various colors. Back in college I ballooned up to a 34 waist and since I’ve been out I can comfortably wear a 33. For whatever reason I decided that there can’t be much difference between 32 and 33 and figured I just ran a 5 year PR in a 5k so I must be slim and trim. Unfortunately that extra inch makes a belt fit nicely compared to suffocating the life out of me.
Which brings me to the need to always wear a belt. I can’t quite explain but I feel naked without a belt. I don’t doubt for a second I could wear all my shorts and jeans without one but the idea that it always will keep my pants up is comforting. Plus it would be so weird pissing at a urinal without a belt Any other takers who can’t leave home without a belt?
A final pant issue is that I bought some Tommy John underwear to try out and they have a pocket in the front for what I assume is your Johnson to poke out without having to drop your drawers peeing. You can see it in the picture. Instead of pulling the waist band below your dick, you reach in the pouch and grab it up and through. I will touch my penis if I have to when at the urinal but usually I just drop it with my waist band and prop it up and out. This way I don’t have to touch it and never have to wash my hands. Just kidding. Can’t wait to shake your hand next time I see you…
33 inch waist?! Jeez…
I never wear a belt so I always buy mine tight (30). Fortunately my weight has not fluctuated more than 2 or 3 pounds in the last 7 years so this is never a problem.
Agree that I usually flop my johnson out without touching it and that’s one reason I never wear briefs. Still wash my hands though cause ya know, society and all.
It’s funny because I would weigh 170 if I worked out REALLY hard, 175 is my normal weight, and I push 180 when I’m on a 5 day, 100 beer bender. Why I write it’s funny is because I have friends who are taller than me and they weigh ~165. I’m thinking I can run 8 miles without a problem, don’t lift any weights, don’t even eat that much and I weigh more than you. You must have like 0 muscle.
I am also a 33 and just had to buy bathing suits and I bought 32’s because the store didn’t have 33’s. I could barely fit in them so I got 34’s and they are too big. So I am stuck
You’re saying that when wearing jeans or dress pants you always unbutton them and unbuckle your belt just to take a piss? I was under the impression that all adult males pretty much just unzipped and went that way, unless wearing athletic shorts or something without a zipper. This blog has enlightened me on how others live – that’s a win.
RE: your comment…I assume I’m the one who’s taller than you and weighs 165? I used to wear a 34 with a belt before I knew how to buy proper fitting pants, but the reality is that I wear a 32. I still typically wear a belt because I agree it feels weird without. Another point is that I think you have to wear a belt with dress pants and a tucked in shirt – it looks bizarre without one.
Everyone assumes that it’s them I talk about. Could it not have been Matt Baker? Pretty sure Adam is a lightweight too and he’s taller than me. I also used to buy clothes that were HUGE. XL t-shirts and 34 pants with explorer cargo shorts.
I don’t understand the unzipping. So what this involves is unzipping and sticking your dick between a boxer hole and then a thorny entrance of zipper teeth? No thank you.
Matt Baker is at least 175, so it couldn’t be him.
I think the real dilemma with the zipper/slit usage is the retreat.
Even when you think all of the water is out of a garden hose, when you start to roll it up…more water comes out.
I feel like the zipper/slit usage (vs. the full unbuckle/unbutton) has a high probability of producing a final “gesture”. The last thing anyone wants is liquid trapped behind a vapor barrier…
