It is remarkable how talented some people can be. They can sing, dance, write and play instruments.
But one talent out there, on our very own doorstep at ETSU, is truly amazing. It is the gift of wearing pants at your knees and walking without them falling to the floor. Truly astounding!
Around the year 1997, guys were shoved into a fashion trance of wearing baggy pants with their stunning dirty hair. You may remember the reference in the movie Clueless. Grunge did happen to the best of the generation. Thankfully, that time is over.
It seems guys have overcome their issues with belts.
However, there are still those few that want to keep the boxer-showing trend alive. Unfortunately, a few is still too many.
It has grown through the ages from sagging anything to sagging jeans to sagging basketball shorts. All a person can do is ask why? Is it comfortable? Is it a way to get fresh air? Are you expecting girls to swoon? Whatever the reason, please do the campus a favor and pull your pants up.
Not only is it appalling to look at, but there could be some health risks involved.
You could fall over your own pants, or even worse, another person could fall over them. Embarrassing … you bet. Just don’t risk it.
The truth is most girls do not find baggy pants attractive. In fact, the female population likes to look at guys’ asses.
Surprise! Females are sexual beings too. Get over it. The main difference is girls are discreet.
Some girls may deny looking, but they know it is true. So, when checking guys out, girls are not going to go for the “saggers.” They will keep looking ahead (or behind … ha).
Clothes that fit look better. End of story. It doesn’t make much sense to buy clothes way too big for you.
That is unless you plan on gaining weight. I am sure you possess many other talents besides balancing your pants or shorts on your knees.
So, do us all a favor and grab a belt and keep your sagging pants away from the floor and securely around your waist.
