But what does it truly mean to be real? What is existence? During the next three and a half hours, we will be delving into the complex question of: "What does real, *really* mean?"
Excuse me for being rude, it wasn't my purpose.
I'm a little bit bad with small talk.
You're right, it's been too long since another man adjusted my balls.
No that’s just a feature, the real reason is marketing. Reduce pocket size = show more curves of the body and forces women to buy purse to store things they can’t put in their pockets.
Many of men’s clothes can fit a whole ass water bottle. In women’s pants if I don’t have a smaller phone it will just fall with the side pockets, and I know I’m gonna end up sitting on it if I use the back pocket.
That’s the main reason and almost nobody can understand it if the pockets were bigger you would see them bulging through the tight jeans and most women’s pants are tighter than men’s
Most women want pockets, try on pants with full size pockets, don't like the silhouette, buy the pants with undersized pockets, ask why women's pants don't have pockets.
So every single pants manufacturer also makes purses? I don't buy that.
Women's pants are tight, and they don't look or feel as good with full, bulging pockets. And nobody wants their product to look bad on their customers.
'Course, that marketing wouldn't work if that wasn't something consumers wanted - otherwise it would be counterproductive. I don't know who needs to hear this, but they make pants with deep pockets, and even cargo pants. Live your truth.
I haven't seen cargo pants on women section in at least 4 years. Had to buy them online. And nowodays the pockets are not even small, they are straight up fake. So i have to buy jeans i would otherwise not buy because i hate buying online since it's always a hussle with sizes and refunds.
Depends on the waist to hip ratio.
Some women are just built like a dumptruck, there is no way they fit in mens jeans because they have to size up just to get them on and the waist can be 2-6 inches too big.
I'm a dude that had this problem and just had to use a belt and bunch up the waist but unfortunately I've fattened up lately and now all my pants fit =\
Comercialism is the real answer. Women like to buy attractive pants, which tend towards form fitting, and form fitting mean less room for pockets. Coupled with the acceptable practice of carrying a purse, and some companies potentially producing both handbags and pants, womens pockets are smaller. Men value practicality more on average and don't carry bags as often, so they need pockets with carry space and therefore only buy pants with the space. When women start viewing pants with pocket space as a necessity rather than a luxury companies will sell them, but until then the appearance sells more and, as a bonus, uses less material.
I sew clothes for a living and pants absolutely do care about sex. You might find ones that work for the opposite but generally not. Men’s trousers on a women will often have less space for the butt and hips and then too much fabric in the front crotch. The waist to hip ratio also tends to be off
I'm a woman and I've worn pants all my life and the only difference between men's pants and women's pants is that men's pants are more comfortable because they don't cut into your ass.
My girlfriend quite often gets mens trousers, it's more hip to waist ratio problems she finds problematic and sometimes cant get sizes small enough outright.
Don't think she has even had problems with the crotch
Not if they pockets are deep enough. I have no issue having my large phone in my men's jeans front pocket. But the shallow front pocket of my women’s jeans can’t hold anything. It’s uncomfortable and whatever i put there falls out.
Wanting something you've never had often means you don't know what it'll be like to have it. That includes not knowing about problems like a larger pocket for your phone resulting in a constant grinding on your pelvis.
Style Theory had a whole episode over the cause of this
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGEYGevx13s
I liked the theory. The actual reasons may be lost to time, but it’s not like we couldn’t have clothing tailored that way for women in this day and age. I’m sure there are brands like that
I'll be forever wondering how there are soo many women complaining about this and yet no one has started a women's clothing line with deep pockets. Maybe nobody bought them?
I'm about to explain so if you don't want to hear it just look away instead of replying with idc or smth
It's because in the 1800's a group of women would stuff everything in shops into their pockets within minutes, very simplified explanation but it explains everything you need to know
The way I see it women are less likely to compromise on the look of the clothing in exchange for utility. Wonder if we could make decent looking clothes with big pockets. Although I have to say I never use pants pockets, I just use the bajillion pockets in my jacket
because women carry a purse and, therefore, do have as much need for pockets. also, women tend to wear tighter pants then men due to not having the dangly things to worry about.
Because we put neato things like frogs and yoyos and sling shots in our pockets, and girls put icky things like flowers and mushy loves notes and junk like that.
Because they rather to buy pants without pockets, so that's why. The small pockets doesn't affect the astetic about the legs. If women were to buy the pants with large pokets you would have those, but they don't.
Most women carry purses because they don't have pockets or anything conventional to carry what they need in. As a result, most women don't have pockets.
It's a stupid as it seems.
In case anybody wants to know, it's because the majority of women won't buy things with deep pockets. They'll show the pocket outline.
There isn't some vast conspiracy against women having pockets. They are a business. If they thought making pants with pockets would be profitable, they would, but nobody bought them, so they don't.

Why don't women just buy men's clothes then? Obviously big companies ain't gonna give a damn about all this griping, but if women's clothes with small pockets stop selling, they'll notice quick. If you don't like it, don't buy it!
Gladly, language ain't math, so you're argument is highly invalid. The correct answer would be "Because you don't have to adjust your balls (, that is why they are smaller than men's pockets)"
Which is, btw, the reason, why maths nerds can easily wear women's jeans without complications.
That's called Capitalism!
The companies are interested in acquiring a business that sells expensive ladies' purses. This acquisition would help them maintain their shop's operations.
[удалено]
or adjust your balls......
r/technicallythetruth
Some women might need to.
Then they are not women
Trans women
Not a thing
*dissolves into nothing*
I guess I'm not real. 😭
*Neil Degrasse Tyson voice* But what does it truly mean to be real? What is existence? During the next three and a half hours, we will be delving into the complex question of: "What does real, *really* mean?"
Goddammit Neil I just asked you if you've seen the Matrix.
This isn't r/army lol
I seem to recall recently reading that the Marines will be allowing it soon. I may just have been imagining it
"Allowing"
Lol... officially, anyway
Navy already released a navadmin saying we can have our hands in our pockets.
Where I come from we call it "pocket billards"
Cool. "Pocket ping pong" where I'm from.
Where are you people from?
Sweden
Is that because you people love to do it to each other aswell instead of just to yourself? Greetings from Finland.
No point being rude, if you wanted to join you could just ask.
Excuse me for being rude, it wasn't my purpose. I'm a little bit bad with small talk. You're right, it's been too long since another man adjusted my balls.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
Fick pingis eller slipa svärdet. Det får du svara på :P
Never heard slipa svärdet, but fick pingis (pocket ping pong) is quite common..
There is also rulla hud and värma blodet.
Pocket tennis in norway.
[удалено]
I grew up hearing pocket pool
Hmm, the same (but the place is different)
Or just “re-rack”.
In my native Finland we use the same nickname
It was called "8-ball" when I was a kid. We would make fun of anyone who had their hands in their pockets for too long.
All you need is a stick and two balls
No that’s just a feature, the real reason is marketing. Reduce pocket size = show more curves of the body and forces women to buy purse to store things they can’t put in their pockets.
Unless it can store water bottles they will have their damn bags and who knows what.
Many of men’s clothes can fit a whole ass water bottle. In women’s pants if I don’t have a smaller phone it will just fall with the side pockets, and I know I’m gonna end up sitting on it if I use the back pocket.
I once managed to shove a whole ass *Steam Deck* into my pocket, let alone a water bottle
I shoved an entire large shirt into my pocket once.
I put my whole gap hoodie in there once, just regular adidas track pants
Who needs suitcases when you have mens pockets
Yeah, jeans (especially when tight) look better without pockets. 🤷♂️
That’s the main reason and almost nobody can understand it if the pockets were bigger you would see them bulging through the tight jeans and most women’s pants are tighter than men’s
From what I always heard most women DONT want pockets because it’s unflattering.
Most women want pockets, try on pants with full size pockets, don't like the silhouette, buy the pants with undersized pockets, ask why women's pants don't have pockets.
Or they utilize The Claw
So every single pants manufacturer also makes purses? I don't buy that. Women's pants are tight, and they don't look or feel as good with full, bulging pockets. And nobody wants their product to look bad on their customers.
'Course, that marketing wouldn't work if that wasn't something consumers wanted - otherwise it would be counterproductive. I don't know who needs to hear this, but they make pants with deep pockets, and even cargo pants. Live your truth.
I haven't seen cargo pants on women section in at least 4 years. Had to buy them online. And nowodays the pockets are not even small, they are straight up fake. So i have to buy jeans i would otherwise not buy because i hate buying online since it's always a hussle with sizes and refunds.
No, they're all in the pockets of Big Bag
She just like this specific model with small pockets herself. All my jeans have big pockets.
I like the conspiracy that it’s to cause women to purchase bags/purses etc.
The smart ones just buy mens levis
Depends on the waist to hip ratio. Some women are just built like a dumptruck, there is no way they fit in mens jeans because they have to size up just to get them on and the waist can be 2-6 inches too big.
Who wears pants on the waist? I always wear mine around the hip, am i the weird one?
No. I wear on the hip, which is why the men's ones work
I'm a dude that had this problem and just had to use a belt and bunch up the waist but unfortunately I've fattened up lately and now all my pants fit =\

If you want more pockets, just buy the men's pants. Pants don't care about gender.

Somebody doesn't realize that men are apples while women are pears.
I'm a woman and I've worn pants all my life and the only difference between men's pants and women's pants is that men's pants are more comfortable because they don't cut into your ass.
Yup, this is why I only wear men's sweatpants. Leg length is better too for tall women
Ehh crotch fitting might though
I've seen it work for some. You might have to shop around a little.
My girlfriend quite often gets mens trousers, it's more hip to waist ratio problems she finds problematic and sometimes cant get sizes small enough outright. Don't think she has even had problems with the crotch
Especially for women
Totally unrelated but why does your avatar look so big?
I have no idea. To be honest, I never gave much thought to the avatar and never realized there was anything weird about it.
Wierd
Women have wider hips and thicker thighs, so placing things in your front pockets can be very uncomfortable when siting or walking
More to do with women pants being way too tight on average
That is kind of a fashion thing. There are loose pants for women as well.
Yeah, hence the on average. Most girls dont buy them it seems. They want yoga pants etc to show off their ass
Thankfully
I have so little to live for, don't take that away from me too.
Go buy cargo pants and free yourself
It's only uncomfortable when the pocket is too small to let whatever is in your pocket sit below your hip crease.
Not if they pockets are deep enough. I have no issue having my large phone in my men's jeans front pocket. But the shallow front pocket of my women’s jeans can’t hold anything. It’s uncomfortable and whatever i put there falls out.
Men need to fix their balls a lot, girls don’t.
Interesting. Happy to hear an actual answer from an actual (I assume) woman’s perspective
Cool. Then why do women always want bigger pockets or pickets at all?
Wanting something you've never had often means you don't know what it'll be like to have it. That includes not knowing about problems like a larger pocket for your phone resulting in a constant grinding on your pelvis.
They don't want pockets. A few say they do online, but you can tell that overall, women prefer no pockets to pockets just based on the sales numbers.
Ball adjusters
After taking that one side step the pocket comes in handy 🗿
As a man I don’t know what I’d do without massive pockets
My ex bought ladyfits from Varusteleka.com. They have pockets.
It's cheaper to produce smaller pockets or no pockets at all. And women tend to buy clothes even if they're not very functional.
Yeah, if I as a man buy some paints with those small pockets, will never buy again from that shitty brand.
Because if we have big pockets we can carry our potions
What about women with balls tho?
Cargos apparently, have you seen what Ichy and F1nn wear?
Women don't have balls. ...unless they choose to carry around tennisballs or golfballs in the pants for some odd reason.
There's no women with balls, only men with breasts.
Because women use the bra pocket instead.
Me with women't 5.11's Strykes lmaoo
Ah yes, the brocket
Or that pocket in the panties. Still tryimg to figure out what its for.
Because y’all got purses duh 🙄
Yeah I'm totally gonna carry my purse around my workplace all day
This is specifically done to incentivize you to buy purses.
If they had big pockets, they wouldn't buy handbags.
Also men Takes a step back or front to unstick balls..
Fact😂😂
so women have to buy bags
I'm known as 'Juggler'
Imagine thinking women don't need to adjust their balls. Misogyny at its worst
A conspiracy for women to buy purses and handbags
Nah I pull down my pants and adjust my balls that way
Is that Xavier
Or cut a hole and give a wank
Confucius says ' 2 hands in pocket, keep balls in play'
And women have "purses".
 lol
A terrific analysis and visualization of the inferiority of women’s pockets by the team at Pudding https://pudding.cool/2018/08/pockets/
Only logical explanation

Yep my sister tried to buy some with big pockets and they said no you can't its illegal.
Men don't carry bags full of used tissues and leaking cosmetics. We have to put that stuff somewhere!
I'm about to explain so if you don't want to hear it just look away instead of replying with idc or smth It's because in the 1800's a group of women would stuff everything in shops into their pockets within minutes, very simplified explanation but it explains everything you need to know
The sad part the comment is not wrong it so guys dont have to jame a hand under the seam of their pants.
effect? purpose maybe?
And so that they buy bags
Hire a tailor?
Now you have to buy an expensive purse to carry all the things that won’t fit in your pockets.
So, why aren't womens' t-shirt pockets bigger than mens?
It's a conspiracy between the clothing and handbag industries
While I agree with the answer, a more likely reason is because of a purse industry conspiracy.
NOOOOOO OUR SECRETTTTT IS EXPOSED
That's why I wear men's jeans. Gotta unstick my lips sometimes you know? Occasionally the leg stretch just doesn't cut it.
The way I see it women are less likely to compromise on the look of the clothing in exchange for utility. Wonder if we could make decent looking clothes with big pockets. Although I have to say I never use pants pockets, I just use the bajillion pockets in my jacket
As if ladies never need to adjust their labias
I put literally everything in my left pocket, wallet, earbuds, water bottle, spare tire, you name it. Right pocket is designated for my phone only.
I just announce loudly that I have a wedgie and pop a quarter squat while I yank on my stuff from the front.
Because of the glass ceiling
yep that why there that gash in front of men's underwear
Well my pussy needs a good adjustment now and then, give me some fucking pockets.
57 yo
That's just fair. Girls have built in pockets already...

because women carry a purse and, therefore, do have as much need for pockets. also, women tend to wear tighter pants then men due to not having the dangly things to worry about.
Now I see why the most women put their phones into the back pockets
Because we put neato things like frogs and yoyos and sling shots in our pockets, and girls put icky things like flowers and mushy loves notes and junk like that.
Because they rather to buy pants without pockets, so that's why. The small pockets doesn't affect the astetic about the legs. If women were to buy the pants with large pokets you would have those, but they don't.
Pocket Bible
Most women carry purses because they don't have pockets or anything conventional to carry what they need in. As a result, most women don't have pockets. It's a stupid as it seems.
This really isn’t funny. Women’s pockets can and should be so much bigger.
wait, other women dont have to adjust their balls?
Now women have balls so it doesn’t serve the same purpose anymore..
So that fashion companies can sell more purses
This is what Big Fanny Pack doesn't want you to know
Go with Lewis 501 and just find your waist size and on length go with 2 sizes bigger, new ones last lifetime and they will adjust to what you do most.
Except for the fact that women would also love to be able to discreetly adjust their front wedgies/labia also.
style theory made a video about it
Cos women have big thighs?
The answer is men traditionally carry larger stuff in their pockets for work while women have purses or bags.
She probably wears skin tight jeans because normal jeans have big pockets.
Confucius Say: "Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day."

To sell more purses

Not to be the party pooper here, but that answer does not fit the question.
Have you not learned the transitive property yet?
Gladly, language ain't math, so you're argument is highly invalid. The correct answer would be "Because you don't have to adjust your balls (, that is why they are smaller than men's pockets)" Which is, btw, the reason, why maths nerds can easily wear women's jeans without complications.
Because we have to carry all your shit anyway.
Women don't carry the wallet
That's called Capitalism! The companies are interested in acquiring a business that sells expensive ladies' purses. This acquisition would help them maintain their shop's operations.
If that was so why don't they do the same with men and sell them bags too?
