Odd thread I know but when I thought I better update the fashion and went shopping to buy jeans and sneakers and the whole shop had hardly any normal style of pants. Everything was skinny or taper'd lol. I ended buying a whole bunch just to go with the flow and since I have gotten home my wife keeps laughing at me when I model them :cheesygrin:

    The only thing good about skinny jeans is how certain women look in them.

    I will say jeans sizes for men seem to be changing. I bought a pair of size 32 a couple of weeks ago and thought I was doing well with my weight loss. I measured them when I got home and they were actually 34 inches. Seemed like a big difference.

    As it turns out, jeans manufactures have figured out how to sell more jeans by appealing to our vanity.

    Even when I'm in really good shape (and I'm not now but I'm working at it), I can't get my legs into anything tighter than standard cut jeans.

    Are you sure you were shopping in the right department? How about trying another store?

    Seriously, have you ever seen these "guys" EAT? Skinny jeans? Right! As mentioned above, most couldn't fit into them and probably haven't been able to for 10, 20, 30 or more years depending on their age. lol

    This has got to be one of the most absurd threads I've seen on this site, and it's not even Friday. Drinking on Tuesday, are we...?

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    WTF sir I've been reading this forum for a couple of years; and you seem to to make some wild **** statements.But this is freaking way out in left field. My wife would kick my **** if I came home with skinny jeans and I would thank her when I sober up.

    So I would like to make this statement MEN DON,T WEAR SKINNY JEANS my god man WTF do you dream of being a woman.

    My 19 year old nephew wears those cheesy ankle tight straight leg pants. Every time I see him I wonder to myself how the heck he got his feet pointed enough to get those things on.

    I sure hope those pants are out of style when my son is old enough to choose how to dress himself.
