I wear big comfy pants. I’d like to understand why people wear uncomfortable looking underwear

Is it for men? If so why wear it on a daily basis when you’re not having sex? If you lived on a desert island on your own would you still wear the uncomfortable itchy lace stuff? Aibu

They don't find them uncomfortable

I find big pants far more uncomfy.

I think people enjoy different clothes.

Some like jeans, others prefer leggings.

Same with pants, I’d have thought?

Sight, not site.

If you (and I, who also wear comfy pants) wear clothing which is comfortable but unappealing aesthetically, only one person feels the benefit. Countless thousands have to look at a very unpleasant site.

I we choose our clothing with care and taste we might feel a bit uncomfortable but many, many more people will feel the benefit.

Was it John Stuart Mill who said we should pursue the goal of happiness for the greatest number of people, or something? 😂

Oh I don’t want them to do that. Just to understand why they wear them

You want people online to tell you about their lacy pants? Mmm ok then 🙄
