Pants

[Truce]

Due to having a cold, lying in bed for hours at a time, I couldn't help but think about the different way people put their pants on.

It started with the comment that went somewhere along the lines of, "Even so and so puts their pants on one leg at a time." At that point I realized that I didn't. It's more comfortable to just pull it up quickly, at least for me. It's also easier to rip pants if you're not paying attention with the one leg method, and accidentally put your leg somewhere it doesn't belong.

Then, I asked myself, "Do people zip up first, or do they button first?" I suppose that it would make sense to zip up first, but out of habit I usually button up first. Now, with jeans that's okay, no harm done, but doing so with trousers (infinitely more comfortable than denim, at the cost of their durability) just leads having to by new trousers sooner. Buttoning up first also leads to forgetting to zip up your fly.

Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

[Demetrius]

Button, zip, buckle in that order, sometimes skipping the zip and buckle, but that is at home when I just don't care. I start my pants one leg at a time kinda bunched up around my ankles then pull 'em up, shorts are a step in thing.

The real question I think is how do you pull off a shirt?

Do you do that wierd chick thing with the 2 arm cross-over, or do you do the grab the neck and rip it off, the one arm out then over or some other method I can't think of?

[Truce]

Actually, I pull off a one arm cross-over. Usually with my right hand I grab the bottom left front of my shirt then just pull it out over my arm and head. There, it just dangles on my shoulder/upper arm until I let it slide off or throw it to the side.

[Mirai Gen]

Right leg, left leg, adjust for boxers, button and zip.

I just can't imagine doing the last in reverse order.

Also: This thread is sheer off-topic awesome.

Cross armed thing. >.> It's easier than it looks!

And, pfft, PANTS. Skirts=Less hassle =p.

But, all in all, to save the world from wrinkly terribleness, I hold pants up and facing butt side towards me, then Left leg-->Right Leg-->Zip-->Button-->Adjust.

Now then, I'm just waiting for this place to go in the direction of, oh:

"Now how do you take your pants off?"

[Crodevillian Team]

"Now how do you take your pants off?"

I unbuckle my belt and let her do the rest. AHAHAHAHA! Hahaha. Ha...

But, no, seriously, it's more passionate that way. I like passion and chamomile tea and another random italicized word at the end of the day.

[C-dog]

Off? Unbuckle, unbutton, unzip, then shake them off with your legs and leave them in a magled pile on the floor. If this takes more than a few seconds your doing something wrong.

[Demetrius]

True only for women, and way better to watch than just about any other way!

C-Dog I dig the rotary!!

Maybe then I should've been born a girl. Funny, I think like a girl sometimes too... how odd. What was that called again?

Anyway, pants or no pants, it doesn't really matter. And Mirai, I've buttoned my pants then zipped it up before, it's not that different (to me anyway.) If you don't care, just get sweatpants.

[Demetrius]

iyeru,
I think you may have killed this thread... in my pants!

[P-Sleazy]

And, pfft, PANTS. Skirts=Less hassle =p.


Heh, thats what the scots are there for.

I put my pants on right leg first and then left leg, both times all the way up. Then I button and then zip because its easier to zip up tight fitting pants then.

Shirts, I pull it off by the neck if its a T-Shirt or some light long sleeve shirt. If its a button up shirt, I pull one arm out at a time after unbuttoning (if it gets buttoned that is).

[Fifthfiend]

If you don't care, just get sweatpants.

Sure that's a great idea, if you want to be people who go around wearing fuckin' sweatpants.

Which is fine I mean, except for people who go around wearing fuckin' sweatpants are the filth of the fuckin' world.

End of the day.

[Inbred Chocobo]

I usually pull all the way up with one leg, normally the left. Then all the way up with the other one. Then the button and then zip. Its easier to work the buttons when you don't have it zipped anyway.

Shirts is totally the grab the neck and over the head and off.

For getting clothes off, I pull a Bruce Almighty and hold my hands up, then in one quick motion everything I am wearing but my thong is off and on the ground.

[Truce]

Honestly...as a guy, I can't stand the idea of wearing a skirt. The draft would be rather uncomfortable.

Besides, they make me look fat.

On the topic of taking off pants, I generally step on one leg, pull the other leg out, and then push the rest of the pants off. Of course, I unbuckle, unbutton and unzip first. The problem with this method is that if you begin to walk off prematurely you'll end up tripping.

[PyrosNine]

Hmm...when I do wear pants, I typically put them in both at the same time, and I only have to put in one leg at a time when I mess up and put down both legs into a pant leg and get stuck.

Beyond this, I have to zip, button, and then put on a belt or sash or whatever because they've yet to make a pair of pants that will fit perfectly on me. Damn my perpetually slim physique!

Honestly...as a guy, I can't stand the idea of wearing a skirt. The draft would be rather uncomfortable.

Not if you're wearing thick layers of underwear.

[Truce]

Oh sure, and make me look even fatter.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

On another a more serious note...thick layers of underwear is even more uncomfortable than a draft. It's like wearing a diaper, only you can't use it as such. At least, you're not supposed to.

[handofpwn]

Off? Unbuckle, unbutton, unzip, then shake them off with your legs and leave them in a mangled pile on the floor. If this takes more than a few seconds your doing something wrong.
My thoughts exactly. As for takeing off my shirt, it normally goes hand on the collar, rip it off. Or if im feeling adventerous, ill do the crossed arm thing. Im a guy btw.

[soulslash]

well now... this is intresting? pants.. i honestly wouldnt think anyone would make a thread about pants... good work though

[BlackMageGirl!]

Right leg in, then the left leg. Zip up, button, and make slight adjustments. If I'm feelin' nice I wear the belt.

As for takin' off clothes, I prefer no cameras. >> And I do the cross-arm method for shirts. Pants I just take off and throw wherever.

[Dark Seraphim]

What? Other people don't jump off thier bed and try to land both feet in the holes, missing over and over until they break both ankles and have to go pantless?

[POS Industries]

Wait, what's this about legs? I thought those long flaps were to keep your ears warm (http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/635/635018p1.html)!

[Sir Pinkleton]

Pff, pants are overrated. I always where shorts unless I'm going paintballing or camping or something.

'Even in the winter-time?' you may be thinking, and my answer is yes. It's best when you have one of those friends that's wearing a sweater, two shirts, two pants, and three pairs of socks complaining about the cold while your standing next to him (in the shorts) not even shivering.:D

Oh just flaunt your ability to wear skirts and not look like a complete flaming jackass.

Damn women.

[Krylo]

Oh just flaunt your ability to wear skirts and not look like a complete flaming jackass.

Damn women.
I can do that too. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/krylo/babe.jpg)

I mean, you wouldn't know I was a flaming jackass without a careful inspection of my crotch.

[Skyshot]

Yes we can. Your legs are too proportionally thick for that to be a woman's body.

Anyways: Blue jeans. And the pants stay on, baby. except when they come off

[Tokkie]

Pull up, button, zip, buckle, adjust.

Foolproof.

[Melfice]

Putting pants on
At home method
Sit on bed. Put both feet in pants. Stand up and hoist the pants up to acceptable level. Button up first, then zip up. Apply and fasten belt if pants are slightly wider than comfortable.

Changing room method (When I've gone swimming, or something)
Standing: Right leg in. Left leg in. Hoist up and adjust until comfortable. Button up, zip up. Apply and fasten belt if pants are slightly wider than comfortable.
Pfft... I look a lot prettier in skirt than Krylo. Just not as feminine...
And that's it!

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

The things I've read in this thread (hehe get it? pants..thread..OH HO!) have frightened and disturbed me to no end.

As for my method: I'm usually too tired upon waking up to realize that my pants are changed. I don't realize this until I've had breakfast and wonder, "when did I put these on?" Kinda Durden-esque, let me tell you what.

[TheSpacePope]

pffft. Never wear em.

No need.

I never leave this spot.

[Mirai Gen]

I can do that too. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/krylo/babe.jpg)

I mean, you wouldn't know I was a flaming jackass without a careful inspection of my crotch.
Okay, then you can just flaunt your androgyny.

Also: Wow, I'm not the only person who has that shirt.

[CrazyBen]

My pants putting-on is a fairly standard left-right-pull up-fasten (or adjust, when I'm wearing sweatpants under my pants for work). My shirts, I pull over my head, then stick both arms out of their proper holes simultaneously.

For taking off, I do the shirt the same as putting it on, but in reverse. My pants, I unfasten it, then sit on my bed, grab both ankles, and yank it all the way off at once. Then I fold them and put them on my desk (or over the back of the chair, for my scrubs) for tomorrow.

Edit: And how come girls are the ones who wear skirts. Guys are the ones who need them!

[CelesJessa]

Pants, it's just generally right-leg, left-leg and then pull up (and then button and zip.

Shirts, most of the time is the crossover arm thing, or, if I'm trying to be modest (or dressing in a room with other people in it) I do the whole "tug the arms out of the sleeves and let the shirt hang around the neck and then, pull on the other shirt while taking off the first one.


The real, pant-related question is... how do you get TIGHTS on (or pantyhose, I guess, depending on what you prefer). I do the "bunch one leg all up until you can stick the foot into the bottom" and then pull it up. That's the easiest way to avoid snags and runs.

[Flarecobra]

Pants, putting on: One foot, other foot, stand, pull up, button up, close belt, good to wear. (Don't have any zipper-fly pants)

Pants Removal: Undo belt, undo buttons, let gravity do the work.

Shirt removal: Reach behind me, pull over my head. Drop shirt in dirty clothes bag. My breasts sometimes gets in the way when I try to do it from the front. Don't ask why.

[Mr.McSpiff]

Don't ask why.

Just for the sake of being an ass... Why?

Edit: This talk of female undress confuses and arouses me I must leave and uh... meditate on this... yeah.
