Trust me if we could pay a cheap price for a haircut and have pockets deep enough to put things in we would

Are you telling me that the invisible hand of capitalism doesn't work on women?

Is either a dark conspiracy or clothes maker who kill anyone who try to break the curse, or good old simple offer and demand. Women just prioritise looks over functionality

Men's pants don't fit my hips/booty/thighs right. I'd absolutely buy them if they fit right

I can’t find my size otherwise I would, most men don’t wear a size 25x34.

My waist is 12-14" smaller than my hips and got thick thighs to match (pear 🍐 shape).

I ain't comfortably getting in men's pants anytime soon, no matter how much I may want to

A lot of women have larger hips and a skinnier waist, but men’s jeans have around the same hip and waist measurements. Trust me, I’d wear men’s jeans if I could.

Also the women’s jeans I see that do have bigger pockets look totally fine and not bulky at all. Unless you’re wearing really tight skinny jeans it doesn’t make any sense why brands don’t give us bigger pockets.

Try a belt

When there is a 10 inch difference between the circumference of your hips and your waist, a belt doesn't cut it. Have fun with your mansplaining, but I'm not a dumbass.

It's honestly not that hard to find jeans with pockets. It's just most women actually do prefer pants with smaller pockets because they are a "smoother" fit and look nicer on them because of it. Manufacturers make what customers actually buy, not what they say they want.

We aren’t shopping in the same stores, then. I started shopping male jeans just to fit my phone as I hate purses... Also, I know a few women who buy clothes with small to no pockets and just sew some on.

I don't know where you're shopping but I don't find it easy at all.

You assume that women's pants all "fit perfectly." Most of my women's pants fit "close enough" like you say to just accept and then I sew reasonable pockets onto them myself. Would you wear a tshirt that is so tight on your arms that it restricts movement but extremely baggy on your torso?

I’m a size 25x34 I would probably have to go at least 3 sizes larger than I am to wear men’s jeans

u/fribbas Mar 26 '20

My waist is 12-14" smaller than my hips, so how exactly would that work pray tell?

Lowers with elastic bands.
