Bc it's the same thing.

If not, then you guys just aren't compatible.

But if that would bother you, then you should hold yourself to the same standard

If your bf showed up in sweats, would you be flattered that he was so comfortable around you? If yes, it's okay for you to wear the same. If not, and you think he should make more of an effort, then he has a point.

The male equivalent is more like khakis or cargo pants. But I wouldn’t mind any sort of athleisure as long as it fit and was clean and not too worn. I am very active on the weekends and wouldn’t wear my “dressy pants” to the bookstore, lol, because I would have walked or biked there, and may in fact be headed to yoga or the gym after.

No. That is the equivalent of jeans. The sweatpants poster was right on.

Well, I read all 13 pages and this thread went in several directions. Speaking as a guy, I'd be interested in exactly how upset he was or how snotty his words were. On the surface this sounds bad but I'll be honest and open myself up to the slings and arrows on this board. My wife never wears these outside of the house, but I'll admit I wouldn't be comfortable with her wearing them out in public all the time, and absolutely because I don't like the idea of her goods being shown off to other men.

Now, before the the women here start firing away. My wife and I have a great marriage and among other things, we're open and communicate very well. If the above situation occurred, I'd simply tell her I'm not comfortable and this is why. I have no problem being vulnerable. Also to be clear, I'm not demanding she change her behavior, it's her choice after the conversation happens.

if your boyfriend was angrier than that during the conversation, folks here are probably right that you need to think about moving on. But if he was simply explaining his preference and did so without anger...well, men can have preferences too, it doesn't always have to be about narcissism and control, and I'm not sure why that conclusion is jumped to so frequently. No matter how good someone looks in those pants, some of them are so thin and stretched that in the right light, they're basically see through, and your boyfriend may not be comfortable with that. Again, it can be as simple as preferences. Men might prefer to not date a woman whose fashion choices are practically an OnlyFans website. Without having heard the conversation, I have no idea what the tone was, but it might be a lot less malicious than people here are making it out to be.

Having lurked here long enough, let me just head off the inevitable.

- Yes, I make a lot of money, about twice as much as my wife. No, I do not care and don't use this as a control thing, she also has a great career and we're equal partners.
- Yes, I am over six feet tall.
- Yes, I help with the housework.
- Yes, I help with our kids. In fact, due to my flexible schedule, I actually do significantly more of the child related activities than she does.
- Yes, I am in reasonably good shape. No, I am not a hypocrite, I don't dress to attract female attention while expecting different of her.
- Yes, everything works. We have sex probably four times a week on average and I'm pretty giving, making sure she's taken care of.

I probably missed one but that seems to be the list of ways men get attacked here. While all of the the above is true, it was mostly tongue in cheek so please don't get your blood pressure up responding to me.

TL;DR - men can also have opinions/preferences if shared respectfully, it isn't always abusive behavior.

First of all one should be free to wear what they want. It is not 'showing' off her goods so to speak unless she was naked. This is very close to the argument that when a woman is raped the question has always been "what was she wearing"

Second, you are not "helping" with your kids because they are YOUR kids.

Yep

I am an American guy who lived in Europe and Asia and dated foreign women

Their complains about athleisure made sense because they themselves would never wear it outside of:

1. Gym (if they went, but that’s a different topic)
2. Traveling to and from the gym
3. Airport (sometimes)

Even the few that wouldn’t care/complain also after a while got me out of athleisure because it got a bit ridiculous if we were going out for a meal or at a cafe and she’s dressed put together and I’m in sweats

A classy man would complain. Those outfits are wholly inappropriate for the bookstore. Also, the lady in the blue’s behind is much too big to keep uncovered like that.

No one's bum is uncovered, all these women are wearing pants.

Are you gay? Nothing wrong with it. Maybe you just dont like looking at women in tight clothing?

I’m not a man. She needs to wear real pants and/or a dress or a loose fitting shirt to disguise how incredibly huge her behind is. I would if that were my behind.

Huh? She clearly worked out hard for that ass. She's not ashamed and wanting to hide her body away, lest someone (probably on dcum) call her a fat ugly slob.

Why do you feel the need to denigrate other women?

I’m not denigrating her as a person. I think it’s fine to wear that to the gym, but I think her butt is too big. If my butt looked like that, I would tone down the lunges and would try to cover it up better.

In case you’re wondering, my butt looks like the second one from the left. I would never think to wear leggings as pants anywhere but the gym. It’s inappropriate and in bad taste.

I can’t tell from this picture if this lady has bad taste or not, but going to the bookstore like that, would be very much in bad taste for me.

Are you dim? You can’t see the ass on the second woman from the left. She’s almost fully facing the camera.

- That's really a terrible analogy. Some of the pants I've seen women wear, they may as well not be wearing. I agree women should be allowed to wear what they want. I also believe partners should be allowed to communicate when and why things make them uncomfortable as long as it is done respectfully and not as a demand. You went from that to rape? Some people....

- As to the second, of all the things I wrote that's what you chose to go after? I'm not on here frequently, but enough to see that "he never helps with the kids" is a pretty popular gripe. I happen to be a very involved father. If this was the worst thing that offended you in my post, I must have done a pretty good job of staying neutral.

Maybe thats her point - her ass is practically invisible! Makes sense why she hates women with a nice full thick booty.

I don't think jeans or a dress would cover up Nikki's badonkadonk if they tried

I wonder if PP’s wife is at least allowed to wear yoga pants to the gym?

Well we’re not in Bulgaria or Vietnam. We’re in DC where it is totally acceptable for a young woman to wear yoga pants to the book store.

You “help with the kids” and would be mad if your wife wore yoga pants. Could she even wear them to the gym? You sound pretty terrible.

Do consider the era in which many posters may have grown up - the 90's and 2000's were all about being as skinny as possible and having no ass.

No, I meant the second from the right. The one next to the one in the blue. I have a perfect behind. Sorry to disappoint. I’ve had random strangers pinch it out in the street, both men and women. Maybe that’s why I don’t walk around flashing it in everyone’s faces. I’m also the daughter of European immigrants, so that too could be why I wear proper clothing outside of my house and yoga pants to work out only.

It’s funny to see all the ridiculous excuses people come up with to justify their slovenliness. Just wear real pants, people! It’s not that hard!

DP - Because they are tight? Because they are see through? Or what? How close are you getting to random womens asses that you are able to have x-ray vision? You say it's fine to express these preferences as long as it's not a demand. What do you do if your woman disregards your "request"? Doesnt seem like its much of a choice for women if you're going to punish her for wearing what she likes.

If they are wearing pants, they are covered. And yes, it's majorly related to rape apologists.

Youre a hoot! You dont know your right from left? And trying to back track now?
With this much fiction in your head, you should start writing novels.

Are you jealous of women that actually look good and like their body? Is that why you think they should hide their "slovenliness" aka asses that just wont quit?
