    Ever since all those derailing incidents, I’m surprised girls don’t carry at least one spare Alco GP-9. It’s not smart to just assume guys like me that pocket two are going to be there.

    It’s been like that since I was in high school at least; I remember a girl in the lunch line only managing to fit her thumb and forefinger into her pocket to fish out a quarter, my entire forearm almost to the elbow fit in mine.

    And yet, in the 20 years hence, I have heard of no attempt by any manufacturer of any size be it an international textile conglomerate or some chick in her sewing room trying to market women’s pants with actual pockets. So I take it there’s just no demand.

        Granted I’m a man who tends to wear women’s size gloves but when it comes to pants I’ve never understood why clothing companies try selling gendered pants but quite often I’ve found that womans pants are basically the same as men’s pants just with less pocket space I’ve in the past accidentally got women’s pants and only realized when I tried to put my phone in the pocket as that’s literally the only way I could tell the difference aside from placement on the target store otherwise the second hand market is completely unlabeled

          I regularly shop men’s jeans for the pockets and lower odds of finding glitter on the ass, can say if the fit doesn’t work it’s because the front is a bit too accommodating. But that’s the only issue I occasionally run into.

      Speaking as someone who has spent thread and needle time expanding ridiculously small pockets in my ‘sewing’ room (bedroom), I hereby demand it. Give us pockets.

    Parts of adulting is admitting you do not have to take you UTAX everywhere, since you never have the drivers and this one need a shady windows seven boot CD-ROM or you have to use the web-interface again and explain to your coworker that they have to save at pdf or they loose the excel formating. And now you have rooms in your pocket to take the whole iberian peninsula.

    That is like how girls became woman and carry Cape Verde in the pant so they can use the totebag again

    Went shopping with the missus in Tenerife. She picked out some jeans and went “are these for men or women, I can’t tell”

    “I’ll check.” said I. Put my hands in the pocket. Stopped two knuckles in. “These are women’s jeans.”

    Meanwhile, I can fit a Nintendo Switch in my shorts pocket, with joycons attached, and still get the zip closed.

      But what happens when you need a Simpson MegaShot 3200 PSI (Gas - Cold Water) Portable Pressure Washer w/ OEM Technologies & Honda GC190 Engine (49-State Compliant)? I know I need one of those almost daily where I live…

    That’s why I decided to get a purse. My pants kept falling off because of all the shit I carry in my pockets. My phone got scratched up by my house key. Now everything is organized.

    Women, why didn’t you tell me about how convenient a purse is?

    I don’t keep an ALCO-GP9 in my pockets since the world’s supply of unsliced bread takes up too much space in there 😞

    I don’t understand how women cope with the lack of pockets. Purses aren’t enough. Below is an honest list of about what I carry with me every single day.

    On my body: Phone Bluetooth headphones in case. Multitool with pliars, screwdrivers etc Regular knife Another multitool but it’s shaped like a card 20,000 mA portable battery sometimes Cord usb-c Cigarettes Lighter Bottled water (back pocket) Comb Wallet (sometimes) Little container for stuff, used to be weed but no more Emergency B.C in case of headache or backache *Emergen-C" packet in case of mild electrolyte deficiency

    I haven’t even filled half of my total capacity. I still have 7 empty pockets and 2 pockets are only half full. But that’s not all. I bring a backpack everywhere as well.

      Why do you carry 2 different multi-tools and a knife? Not hating, they’re your pockets afterall, I’m just curious lol

      Also, all that shit, and the one thing that’s a “sometimes” is your wallet? 😅 “well I’ve got my 20lbs of misc equipment, but eh I think I’ll travel light today, no need to grab my 1oz wallet”

        Haha! Funny thing is that my wallet is only a “sometimes” because I also bring a backpack around too so often the wallet is in there for safekeeping along with a zillion other things. Going to update the comment with the backpack comments to elaborate lol.

        Oh, and the multitools, That’s a good question! I’m a mobile mechanic and am always needing one or the other. It began with just a knife and has expanded since.

        1: The regular knife is for scraping gunk off of bolts, terminals etc. And also has a few edges that are the perfect size for peeling back wires. It also has a bottle opener and flathead screwdriver

        2: Multitool #1 has a set of pliars, Phillips head, and a few other things I need and

        3: The card shaped/sized multitool also comes in handy as it’s a tiny wrench and has cutouts for tiny bolts so I can remove them. It also functions as a decent putty scraper and has a saw I use all the time. To boot, it’s a ruler as well which is nice for sizing up small things.

        I just use them all the time and they save me trips to the truck looking for wrenches/ratchets which is also why I carry the light, hope that explains my strangeness a bit lol

          Glad you found a system that works for you! I’m on the dead opposite side of the spectrum, i rarely leave the house with more than phone (w/ wallet case), earbuds, and keys. And if my wife is with me, I generally make her keep the keys in her purse so that I’ve got even less to carry lol

        Yes, that would be a nice green flag to me as well. Bonus points if those pockets are filled with very specific items, like little tools that seem excessive or redundant to others but are vital in getting through your day. That’s someone I wanna follow around and learn from

      You’d be surprised what can fit in a purse, especially when it’s neatly organised. I think the only things that wouldn’t realistically fit in your average purse would be the headphones (assuming you mean like, over the ear things and not some buds) and maybe the water and the big ass portable battery (I know plenty of women who carry a smaller one though). Also there’s a few redundancies in your kit like the three different pocket knives

      Yeah I usually have a little backpack. I’ll have on me: 1ltr bottle of water, keys, purse (wallet), phone, lip balm, tissues, emergency snacks, painkillers, antihistamines, hairbands, lipstick if I’m wearing any, maybe a light rain coat. Pockets or a handbag don’t do it.
