Sagging pants that lack belts / by kevin murray

There are things in life that don’t seem to make any logical sense, such as the youthful males who prefer to wear their pants too big for them without a belt, causing the pants to sag below their buttocks and expose their underwear. It is understood that this behavior, first originated via our prison system, in which many of these incarceration facilities do not permit inmates to wear a belt, for the danger that belt might bring to their own self or to someone else – in addition to the salient fact that the sizes of the pants being worn in prison, are somewhat limited, so that, as a matter of course, there were going to be prisoners that had pants that would have a tendency to sag, which they thereupon wore as a badge of honor.

Not too surprisingly, certain youthful males in conventional society, decided that they would embrace that look as their way of saying to the society that they don’t feel cares correctly for them nor provides them with an abundance of good opportunities or fairness, that this is their way of expressing their disdain for those that consider themselves to be their betters, or who seemingly know better.

The problem, though, with taking the sagging pants to its limit, so that every time that a person steps out, they have to step out with sagging pants, is that there are very valid reasons why a belt should be used, at least, occasionally. For instance, those that are walking to the local convenience store or a friend’s house, and have one hand on a cell phone and another grasping their soda, they are going to have to free up one of their hands, in order to keep their pants up, because once pants sag below one’s buttocks, it is very easy for those pants to sag all the way down to one’s ankles, which is a very bad look and might well be considered to be indecent exposure. The other reason someone should consider using a belt is that whenever the distance to be traveled is more than a few blocks, it becomes tiresome and looks awkward to have to keep one hand on one’s pants to hold them up, when a belt has been designed to do just that.

So too, those that are prone to trouble or susceptible to trouble being around them, should probably recognize that running with your pants sagging down is not going to be every efficient, and thereby those that aren’t able to run well when running is called for, are the very same, that are going to be more vulnerable to a bad act happening to them, mainly because they aren’t wearing their clothes properly. So then, it is one thing to present oneself in a certain manner, and to pose that way, and it’s an entirely different thing to in all situations, keep those pants sagging, when the better part of valor would be to make needful changes where those changes need to be made, especially in consideration that older family members would probably appreciate less disdain, and more respect from the younger generation.
