I have nothing against tight or skinny jeans as such; that pair in particular just look too tight, uncomfortable, and not very flattering.

I can't help but think of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer decided to wear jeans and couldn't even sit down.

Take another photo of yourself full body without standing in a strange position, and with a normal camera angle. In those pics you've managed to make yourself look a lot like a woman with those bending poses, so I can't make any proper judgments.

At any rate, I'm sort of against really tight jeans for men. So many teenage boys are doing it these days, and it's not very flattering in my opinion.

I think tight tight jeans require an ectomorphic body type to pull them off... now many of us aren't lucky enough to possess this kind of high metabolism and low bodyfat.

In the eyes of our imagination they may be desirable and fashionable, but the reality is that if you have any extra weight at all up top then tight jeans absolutely do not work.

Gentlemen, my first post in this forum. I couldn't resist quoting New York School poet Frank O'Hara's famous lines from the acerbic 1959 essay "Personism: A Manifesto." On the role of formal devices in poetry, he wrote:

"As for measure and other technical apparatus, that's just common sense: if you're going to buy a pair of pants you want them to be tight enough so everyone will want to go to bed with you. There's nothing metaphysical about it."
