Thank you.... In this culture, our grandparents (like this gentleman here) are telling us to PULL UP OUR PANTS. But many don't listen.... They just listen to other guys that don't really love them...

When you dress, you are trying to send a message. Maybe it's just, "I am trying to fit in with the people in my town/city/whatever." Maybe it's, "I identify with this type of person." And perhaps it is, "I really don't pay attention to fashion nor do I really care." But the fact is, we dress a certain way for a reason. For instance, I dress in jeans and a t-shirt a lot because it can look normal and cute and passable, be dressed down or up, and is comfortable and always practical.

So you do have to keep in mind you are going to send people a message by dressing a certain way whether you mean to or not. You may not intend to send the same message as other people who dress the same way as you, but you will be sending that message to me. And as a result, I will receive mixed messages -- "Is this person like ____ or not?" I will not judge you on the spot, however I will most certainly be wondering and be careful.

Although, the fact that somebody wears saggy pants and is fine with that always confuses me. WHY? O___O I don't want to see your boxers, people.

Though it's hilarious to try and watch people like that run. ;)

They're very fashionable.

Fashionable boxers? Hmmm... While I appreciate your extraordinary fashion taste when it comes to boxers, I as a person would still prefer not to seeing them. Although if you're ever wearing blue ones, I may be a little less judgmental. Lol. XD

Wear them on the outside then.

PFT. Then colorful undershirts/tanktops should be worn on the outside.
(which happens and is not all that impressive)

I like fitted jeans on my man (not talking about nut stranglers, just regular classic men' s Levi's ) because I can actually see the formation of his cute butt under the denim material. A simple belt even accentuates his beautiful waist. Sagging and wide pants makes everything flat.

Didn't read the whole thread, but, a friend told me the idea was a "one size fits all" philosophy reflecting on slavery when clothing wasn't fitted at all, i guess.

Well, my ancestors were slaves.... so that's a load of horse doo-doo.

Oh. Oooooh. So that's what the term means. Sagging pants. Yeah, that just looks ugly. It's also uncomfortable. Did I mention it looks dumb?


See, "sagga" is slang in Swedish for something that would be more appropriate to mention in the sex & relationship forum.
It involves some specific motions and a certain type of bodily fluid.
So I think you can see my confusion about the topic title and in which forum it was...
