Pull up your pants sheeple. Saggin' pants and a Poll.

you can't exactly complain about guys showing skin if girls like it, if you aren't going to complain about the opposite. If young girls like seeing guy's asses and the guys are willing to put it all out there, that's what you are going to see.

I like women in boxers.. Hell I have quite a collection. Borrow any color you like.

Women or boxers?

I like women in boxers..

Back many moons ago, when dinasours roamed the earth, I used to wear boxers all the time in summer. They're cheaper than shorts. Now I would wear them around the house provided they didn't look like boxers. They have some pretty cool patterns now.

... I have quite a collection. Borrow any color you like

Uuummm, no thanks. lol!

LOL!!!!!!

or on your head

hahahaha!! Vdog, you're too funny!

Schools are cracking down on that. I'm 27 and in high school they didn't much but shorty after my class graduated... they started to get serious about it. Men AND Women. If guys sagged to much.. got sent to the office and had to put on a belt or change into something not saggin or whatever. If girls were doing the same or there skirts were above arms length.. same thing. I think it looks stupid saggin. Also incidences of them falling down by accident causing awkward situations to those around. Always pulling them up every 3 steps. How is that comfortable? It always cracks me up on COPS seeing the fools running who sag. They get a few feet the trip and eat @!$%# on the pavement because of it. One episode the cop said... thanks for wearing 3 sizes to big and sagging there buddy.. saved me from having to run after ya! Ever heard of a belt? lol.

That chronology doesn't sound quite right, SR. If you're 27, then you graduated from high school eight or nine years ago. I don't recall sagging pants being quite prevalent in 2001 or 2002. Baggy, perhaps, but not sagging. You must have gone to a very fashion-forward high school. I won't even entertain the other possibility.

Thanks for the laugh, Vlad's! :)

What... Really?!? lol. Kids were doing it in my grade school. Earliest I can remember seeing kids do it was around 5th grade. The big fad was those Jnco jeans. Really baggy and wide with pockets.. and the cool thing was wearing boxers and letting them hang out / sag. That and skater shoes were popular.. like airwalks.. and then shirts a size to big and skater hats. You know the whole skater look thing was / is big in my area. lol. The "gangsta" look is around but not as prevalent as I'd say other cities and areas. That and my school was more rural then the others in the area.

I'm not sure what you mean by that comment. Also.. I grew up in Vancouver, WA area.

I went to Prairie High School.

I grew up in Vancouver, WA area.

That was my hometown too. Don't remember seeing too much sagging pants though.

^ Really. What high school you go to? Chances are we know some of the same people. Small world.

I went to Columbia River and graduated in 2005 so we probably did not know anyone in common. Moved to California after high school.

I have many friends your age and my brother is your class. Columbia River. Wow... that's only like 3 miles from my house. Did you know a Heather Claussen? Tiara Islam-Bailey? They are good friends of mine and lived a street up from Columbia. That's just a couple names of many off top of my head I would assume be in your class.

Sorry. I don't recall anyone by those names. I knew some people but I only had a few close friends, not a lot of friends.

All good. It's kind of neat to run into somebody who grew up / lived a few miles away in the same town.. on such a big international site such as this. If you ever feel like chatting you can hit me up on my FB link on my profile. Open invitation. :D Never know.. could of ran into each other at one point and never knew it. lol.

I send a FR to you. Perhaps we did meet at one time even though we did not attend the same school. I did live there until I was 18. It has been years since I have been there though. It has probably greatly changed since I went to school there. I am going back to the region tomorrow to visit to it will be nice to see that region again. Anyway, Vancouver was a great place to live and it was nice to see someone on this site that lived there.

Sent one too. Accepted. :D

That is great, SR. I'm going to try to send a private message to you. I hope you get it.

I dunno if I did. :( Email of via Facebook?

Well, I was going to send you a message but then I thought about it and decided it likely would not end with good messaging for different reasons so I did not. Anyway, sorry about that.

I don't understand what you mean.

It is not really important anymore but I was not sure if you had made yourself into a significant presence here on the vine or not. I think I had conversations with you in the past but I don't recall which articles we discussed. It would have been nice to discuss tham at length without time or schedule constraints but that is not important enough for me to dwell on.

You're right, Kevin. It is for everyone. Altho', when I think saggy pants, I just naturally think about the guys with the pants waist band below their butts and their boxers totally sticking out.

Seeing sagging pants doesn't hurt anyone or effect anyone

It does when they fall down and you see more then you wanted too. XD

Maybe. But until then, it doesn't effect anything but your sensibilities.

Yeah, but it was much cooler when hair was just the one original color... LOL

Exactly, when I was young, we wore skin tight jeans, or workies, white suspenders, Regals with the spit shined toes, and black leather coats. Also a ton of grease on our hair. And white suspenders. That is a blast from the past, we were greasers. I look back now and wonder if that was really me. I am now 62.

One day my daughter came home, and told me that she had met a really cool guy. In came this dude with a multi-colored mohawk, a really big one. I could not help it, I just broke out in uncontrollable laughter, almost pissed my pants.

You could say I am getting pretty old.

I still like doo wop, grew up on The Big bopper, and Jerry Lee Lewis, he sure did go through a lot of pianos.

So much for the "just a fad, it'll go away quickly" theory.

I graduated high school back in 1990 and they were sagging back then.

Kori,

I hadn't read that, but I'd heard that the custom started when gang members would get busted and hauled off to jail. The cops'd take their belts, of course, and then their loose pants would hang down. Soon, the no-belt sagging pants thing got to be a way of looking cool and tough and just caught on as a style.

Kori, I heard that as well, I think on NPR about two years ago. In the late seventies it was popular for gay's in Hollywood to advertise their specific sexual desires by hanging the appropriate colored scarf out of the appropriate back pocket. It's obvious that the original meaning of droopy pants has been lost. What disturbs me is that in the past fads changed. It was a fact of life that we didn't want to wear our dad's tie, or work for his company. The 'coon tail hats and the camel hair coats was another form of protest in the twenties. Since the advent of this rap nonsense, styles and for lack of a better word, music has not changed. In fact, the current generation ( not all of them ), a have been in a state of stagnation coming up on twenty years. This rap nonsense has permeated all forms of media in the U.S. and abroad. Have you heard French and Russian Rap? I am a musician, and it saddens me to know what has become of the music industry. I do not expect to see an end in the near future of droopy pants, sideways caps, and the latest rap sensations ( as if there ever was one ). The droopy pants are a bi-product of the rap culture.

NJ, all you need now is a Casio drum machine, and you'll be the latest rap sensation!

I see guys sagging in their "skinny" jeans too.

I hate it but I have a kid who does it. Do I allow it? No, can I be with him 24/7 no. Sure buy pants that fit him...okay you find me pants that fit my kid, waist and length and we've got a deal. My best tactic has been buying him cool belts.

Guys do sag in their skinnys too, its the way they are cut. The manufacturers are doing it for style and demand. Part of it is that they are skate clothes and meant to have room to move and not rip. I"ve pointed out to my kid the good skaters don't wear those saggy pants and floppy shoes because they interfere, they end up worrying more about their clothes. Those hip hugger styles do fit younger guys better, especially if they have no butt, regular waist comes almost up to my son's chest.

BTW I've mentioned where this came from, what it means,they could care less, it is mainstream now and that is what they know. I have found with stupid fashion statements that the less I get bent out of shape the less they feel the need to rebel. I do ask him to keep it reasonable. But as with other fads this too will pass, if nothing else with this kid. I've had these kinds of battles with my other child and they passed and so shall this one.

Yes, and if they saw jumping off bridges became mainstream, they would follow that trend.

Lol! Or how about plumbers' butt crack?

That's right DJ, and a lot of those guy's were wearing high water plaid pants with brown socks, white shoes and white belts.

no haven't been on much. and thanks.

people here men and women aka boys and girls to me do it alot and think they are cool.

one time at the gym a little boy about 15 was wearing droopy gym shorts. and he raised up his arms and his pants slipped down to where you could see his pubic hair i stared on purpose to make him uncomfortable worked he pulled them up. LOL
