[Manji has been trying to get new clothes to fit into this strange new world a bit better. There is just one thing he's not sure he'll understand. So much so he just has to turn on his camera and ask the network at large.]

Why would anyone wear jeans? They're so tight. How do people move in them without... pinching?

It helps to get the right fit.

[canofmanji]

if I get them too big the fall down and smaller seems to always be riding my ass. [Why does it feel like American pants are all so tight? Give him a hakama any day.]

[musicdied]

It's not just size. There are different cuts for different ass shapes.

[canofmanji]

why are there so many pants? i just need something that covers my legs to stay warm as its getting colder.

[She doesn't like this man, but...]

You ever get to thinking your proportions are all wrong?

[canofmanji]

[Why must everyone text? Manji's response comes very slowly with Username is typing... appearing for several long minutes.]

so what you're saying is im bigger than most men. why thank you. [He knows that's not what she means, but he also doesn't care.]

[graveyounglady]

Definitely that melon you got on your shoulders.

[canofmanji]

yeah well luckily i dont need to fit that into a pant leg.

[bossyboiler]

Because they are comfortable with the right fit, especially after a few wears.

[canofmanji]

[Another person texting??? Username is typing... displays for a couple minutes before he finally texts back.]

but why would i wear something more than once when i van just get somethingthat fits right first time?

That an actual complaint or a brag, tiger? [Eda snorts.] You can always just stick to skirts though. [It doesn't even occur to her that this might be an odd choice for men in some times and places.]

[canofmanji]

[He's so incredibly happy that he doesn't have to try to text.] Mostly a complaint. I have been wearing a skirt, but I've noticed not a lot of men around here wear them. [Also some jerk teen might have said something and he won't admit it got to him a little bit.] So I thought I'd try fitting in a little bit, but if this is what most people wear? No thanks.

[edalyn]

Hmm... now that you mention it I guess they're not in fashion. [She still doesn't really see why anyone would care, though.]

But there's other kinds of pants you know.

[canofmanji]

I swear there are too many to choose from.

[failedpromise]

Okay, but have you noticed the sizes are also completely arbitrary? Two pairs that say they're the same size can be totally different!

(Another person unhappy about clothes here to commiserate.)

Personally I recommend sweatpants. (For his uh, pinching problem.)

[canofmanji]

Really? I haven't noticed that problem too much. [Stupid guy pants making sense, but not females.]

Not interested in sweating unless I'm working out. [He took the name literally.]

[failedpromise]

Might be more of a women's clothing problem. Figures.

(Somewhere, Cortana is rolling her eyes.)

Sweatpants don't make you sweat, Manji. They're designed to be comfortable to move in, so they're often worn when people are exercising.

[canofmanji]

then why not call them easy to move pants? [He thinks about that as he sends the text.] i suppose it is a mouthful

[setthetone]

Man, wait until you hear about skinny jeans.

[canofmanji]

Why are there so many different type of jeans?!

[setthetone]

Highly endurable material. They used to be worn for work a lot and then they kind of just... stuck, culturally?

They're not really my thing either.

[canofmanji]

How do people work in them? They're so stiff!

[lowficharm]

You might need to look at a different style then, perhaps? Sounds like you might not like the skinny types.

[canofmanji]

but why are they so popular with everyone? do you like not being able to squat or bend?

[lowficharm]

Well, they're fashionable, and durable. Last a long time. And most people don't squat in them.

If you're having trouble bending though, you might be in too small a size.
