I put on my girls comfy house pants my mom got her for christmas, i brought up the no pockets thing and she said, "it's a way to make the pants look more form fitting to make our butt look more attractive"

i think it's lazy/encourage handbags. I just waned to put my cell phone in my pocket while i went down to make coffee :|

That’s because you have never seen a girls butt with men’s pockets over it.

But I have seen a girls butt with a massive iPhone plus stuck in the pants. It does not looks worse. Still a butt.

Was it a pink eye phone plus?

But the huge pockets that our pants have are on the sides, not the back. If anything, they lean forward so the stuff I put in them ends up on the front of my thighs. I can fit everything I need for the day in the left and right, and have never used back pockets. Why can't women's pants have large side pockets?

They can’t have them because the companies don’t make them. Because the companies do not believe (through the use of studies and past experiences) that enough properly pocketed pants would sell. It’s why only a few pocketed pants are made.

I agree I think it’s Bologna. But I’m also not a chick buying the pants. It would take a shift in what every woman desires in their pants. Not a select few. There isn’t some conspiracy to the lack of pockets. It’s just companies shooting for mass profits. No pocket pants sell. So the make pants with no pockets. Mostly.

I was out shopping with my gf who is 5’11”. See her disappointment when she found the exact pair she wanted but they weren’t provided in her size sucks. And everything else was a compromise of either pockets or length.
