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!
massive phone, wallet, keys, car keys, airpods, tape measure; all kinds of stuff on the pockets, need a belt to hold the pants up
You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don’t usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She’s like “I knew women’s hips were bigger but Jesus Christ”.
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.
You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.
I’m sorry, the what now?
This will outlive us, no matter the platform.
I hate that I know this now.
This reminds me, I need to go see if Lemmy has a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community yet.
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.
I always thought about this and sometimes I’m like… wait this belt is actually gross…?
Wash your hands in the bathroom, nobody bats an eye.
Scrub down your belt buckle in the sink and people lose their minds!
If someone gets uppity in a bathroom when you are practicing good hygiene, ask them why they don’t. And don’t let up.
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.
