Do they do this to us because they assume that all women like shopping?  That we're all enjoying giggling with our girlfriends in the dressing room?

If certain porn sites are to be believed...

I thought pockets were all the rage these days...

[littlefallsmets]

If it's any consolation, as a man who is both big AND tall, I am as difficult to clothing shop with as any stereotype of a girlie-girl... because nearly everything I see that I would like to wear in a store would not fit me at all.

So I generally take The Guy Way Out and mail-order all my ##### and many of my shirts.

But when I do? I'm not only difficult but also annoying because I hate the entire process as much as anyone accompanying me. I know I probably won't find anything and I still gotta go and I'd much rather be in the mall's bookstore, lookin' at the newest issue of FOUND or something.

You know, all this talk of pockets reminds me of a car I once had.  It had this unusual but handy storage feature -- pockets in the sides of the trunk.  At least I thought they would be handy initially, for when I wanted to stash some valuables back there and didn't want them rolling around on the floor.  Unfortunately I'm really disorganized, and pretty soon I'd filled up the whole compartment with random crap from my house.  There was so much junk back there that I couldn't fit anything substantial in the pockets, and it started to seem pointless to have them at all. 

But yeah, I have no idea why women's britches don't have large pockets.  And I also don't get why women don't just look at the waist and inseam measurements to determine whether a given pair of trousers will fit or not.  I mean really, what other piece of information could they possibly need? 

Edit:  In case it's not clear, I've never actually owned a car, and the story is an allegory meant to explain my thoughts on the topic at hand.

Ass circumference?

There ya go!

I have been fooled by fake pockets more than once.  I have a pair of blue jeans in my closet right now, where one of the pockets looks like a pocket but is actually only decorative.  Another pair that I no longer own appeared to have two front pockets, but actually had none.  I bought a pair of cargo style ##### with serious pockets for my trip, and discovered on the plane that out of the supposed 8 front pockets the two zippered ones were only decorative.  The zippers are functional -they open and close - but only to a void of fabric that is not a pocket at all.  WTF!? 

Anyway, most of my ##### and all of my skirts have no pockets what so ever.  It's a more flattering line, if you care about that sort of thing.  I think the assumption is that women have purses and therefore don't need pockets, but I genearally don't carry a purse, so I do run into trouble sometimes, and end up carrying my keys around in my hand all day.  Thankfully it's seems standard for coats to have pockets, so this only causes problems in summer for me.

Someday, this board will be discovered as the best place to find a name for your band ever.

"And opening up for David Bowie on the West Coast tour, it's Ass Circumference..."

The double-"s" sound isn't very easy to say. It sounds like "Asscumference"  -- wait, that sounds like a porn genre. Do you think the Sniglets guy would be proud of that one?

[littlefallsmets]

Sounds less like a porn genre, more like a porn industry convention.

You can put your weed in there, man!

[KeithHernandez]

Wow, I just realized women have a hard time buying ##### with pockets but one of my stoner friends had a pair of shoes with a pocket for weed (well, anything small that you want to hide in a pocket in your shoe).  Wait, don't kangaroos (the beef scary narrative shoes) have pockets in them.
 
Just buy a pair of those and quit your bitching .

[theinevitable]

dude, no.

not a pocket for "anything small."

That pocket is only for one thing.

one thing.

one thing which I just realized, wow, I don't really have a good place to carry that. Maybe I should invest in those shoes.

[KeithHernandez]

Eh, I live about a block from the bar district in my town, and if I get any ladies this is generally how, not because I live so close but at a bar, or I have a gf at the time, so I can pretty much leave them at home.  Now herb, I carry that with me 90 percent of the time.  Regardless, if you have pocket shoes you probably won't need that one thing.
