Men, do you wear belts? Women, do you really dig them?

[johnnie]

I am watching A Very Brady Sequel and Marsha just said "Boys who don't wear belts...yuck". Now I am wondering if *that* has been my problem all these years. I don't wear belts.

[RetroLounge]

1. I always wear a belt...

You just never know when a naughty girl needs a spanking...

:D

3. Well, I always carry a whip

And some hot oils with me at all times. But maybe a belt would be better. :shrug:

[RetroLounge]

4. You can use the whip as a belt...

Hot oils are a nice touch...

:thumbsup:

17. I prefer, generally speaking,

my bare hand. That'll heat up the needing area just as well as oil.

:smoke:

2. support our pants

[johnnie]

5. Heh

They have a clip art joke for anything these days.

7. Belts are a poor substitute for pants that actually fit.

It's a rare guy who really ought to draw more attention to his waistline, but generally I prefer a more casual look to coordinate with my own high degree of frumpiness.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I wear pants that fit AND I wear a belt.

I just enjoy how they look.

[LeftyMom]

10. But you're odd anyhow.

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Haha, this is true.

:D

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

26. Me too.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

27. Would I qualify being 5' 8" and 119 pounds

As someone who can draw attention to their waistline :P ?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. Not even if the belt buckle says "Dublin Your Pleasure?"

Because I have that belt buckle and it rawks! You see, it's best worn with a pair of Lucky jeans, because they say "Lucky You" inside the fly.

[LSK]

9. it depends what im wearing

Sometimes I do with jeans, all the time I do with work clothes (business casual).

[skygazer]

12. Well, I prefer riding crops

But a belt will work in a pinch.... :evilgrin:

[tigereye]

13. I can't say that I have ever cared whether a man wore a belt

or not. :shrug:

but I think it is the common thing for teens and college folk, male and female. Many of the belts I see in stores have either a hippie or metal-type quality....

[flvegan]

14. I never wear a belt. If my pants fall down...so be it.

Besides, that's the work of the law of gravity. I never studied law.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear johnnie........

My husband always wears a belt.......

Even though his pants always fit!

And I like how it looks.......finished, tidy, neat.....

Plus.......I like how it feels when I hug him......the glossy feel of the leather under my fingers......

I can't really explain it, but it feels cool to me!

How are you doing today? Hope you are feeling well......:hug:

[johnnie]

19. Doing peachy Peggy!

Going back to work tomorrow x(

Guess it was coming sooner or later. Oh well, I'll have to wait until next operation to get some time off. :)

Hope all is well with you too :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I hardly know I had any surgery at all......

Glad you feel good.......sorry you have to go back to work tomorrow, though....

:hi:

[mitchum]

16. Rarely, but sometimes I rip off Fred Astaire and wear a necktie as...

a belt

[buddhamama]

18. i don't dig belts

can't give you a reason why that is, i just don't.

[Sugar Smack]

21. Johnnie, if you

and Richardo and asthmaticeog are wearing belts, I like them. *sigh* :loveya: And that's all I've got to say about that.

[Broken_Hero]

22. I usually wear belts...

its just nice knowing, that my pants are going anywhere, unless I undo the belt buckle...:)

[midnight armadillo]

23. I have to...

More than one tailor has told me that my hips are too slim to properly support pants. I wear suspenders with the nicer clothing.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. I wear them, but I don't know why.

My pants always want to come off. Why do I torment them so? ;)

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

25. I always where them just because I think it looks weird w/o them

[qnr]

31. Yeah. Always have, for the most part (not with shorts sometimes) - now,

I put it to use carrying things and keeping them out of my pocket.

Edit: deleted extraneous space

[idgiehkt]

28. I don't like them on women but I don't know about

men. Alot of men wear belts. I've never thought about them on men, but on women they seem annoying.

[jmowreader]

30. I must. Pants in my size are insanely expensive

I have a 31-inch waist and a 34-inch inseam.

You do not want to be this size.

I know of one place in this area that has pants that size--and he wants $70 a pair for them.

What I do instead is buy 32/34s and cinch the fuckers up with a belt.

[Mike03]

32. Similar Predicament

I'm a 30 - 32 and while it used to be easy to get pants in my size, it has become harder and I was even ridiculed the last time I went to a department store to find jeans in my size. Just a few weeks ago I had to order that size from a boutique (don't know if I'm allowed to name it or not) and they were $80 a pair. And I do wear belts, just out of habit mostly.

[Mike03]

33. This thread begs the question...

What DO women pay attention to, if not to belts--lol.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear Mike03......

I can only speak for myself..........

But I do look to see what, if anything, is holding up a man's pants......



;-)

[jmowreader]

35. I bet you find LOTS of 32/30s, though

I seem to find tons of 34/31s and 34/32s in stock everywhere I go.

Dude, if I bought pants with a 34-inch waist I would be able to walk right out of them.

I'm seriously considering shopping in women's stores. There are enough tall, slender women in town that appear to be about the same size I am, that I should be able to get 31/34s there easy. 'Course, I have no ass either...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. You'd rather I wear suspenders?

Because I don't think you want to see my ass.

[Rob H.]

37. It's a matter of necessity

I'm ass-deficient so I have to wear a belt to keep my pants from falling down.

[Lowell]

38. I have to wear them to hold

my holster. It is more like a utility belt than a fashion statement.

[Momgonepostal]

39. I like belts

They make the outfit seem more put together. I do have to say, it depends on the body structure and fit of the pants, but generally belts are a plus. I wear them, because I have a big ole butt, and if my pants fit my backside, the waist gapes.

[TOhioLiberal]

40. Never thought about it...

...but I do like suspenders! Weird, huh?
