A decent pair of pants on the true waist can also add some shape to your butt. Besides, a long torso stacked on short legs (29's shorted to who knows what) looks just as silly as any imagined short torso. If you look like the Penguin then accept as much as no pants witchery will change that.

Anyway, if you're saggin' your pants too low, you're not going to be able to run when the cops show.

It depends what im wearing. If its just a casual pair of jeans I am usually that guy who wears them fairly low. On the back they are usually at the middle of ****** lol. At the front they are usually at the middle of the pelvic area, 6 or so inches below my bellybutton.
If I am wearing dress pants, around the waste line. Would never wear them like I wear jeans. Its too sloppy.

QFT, pants should hang on your hips regardless of your gut. I think this is also what people mean by "true waist".

I feel goofy both mentally and physically. To me, there is something particularly uncomfortable about wearing pants that hug your stomach right bellow the belly button. Seems like if you sit down they're halfway up your torso?

Basically you want room for your balls not to have to choose a side. Your D will presumably fall to one side.

Err, your pants would need to have a pretty huge crotch to make this happen. If you have your pants made for you, the tailor should draw the pattern to accomodate you on the left or right.

I ABHOR most jeans since they are designed to be worn below the waist and that to me is uncomfortable physically and mentally reminds me of convicts and ex convicts who were not allowed to wear belts in prison to prevent the use of belts to harming the wearer or anyone else. Why should jeans be any different than ordinary suit trousers in comfort? So many have such a short fly length that to fit them on the waist would cause the inseam to be in the crotch. I think it is a way of reducing the material needed to make jeans and sell them as stylish when in reality the truth is not that less is more for the consumer but less material is more profit for the manufacturer.

Jeans are presumably supposed to be for work, play and relaxation. But it is really hard to do any of those things when one's manhood is being subjected to enhanced incarceration!
