I'm a guy and Idk about this sweatpants things, pls someone give me some context.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Aka "jogging pants", "lounge pants", "tracksuit bottoms", "trackies", "tracky daks", or "trackpants".

They're a kind of soft trousers or loose leggings worn typically for comfort or athletic purposes.

wife in a healthy relationship, looking at her sweatpantsed husband: heavy breathing Oh my!

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 154 points 1 week ago (2 children)

never underestimate the desire of some women for married man. I had a friend once tell me shw only dated married man because she knew he was good enough. No need to say the friendship didn't last long

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 147 points 1 week ago (6 children)

This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they're already in a relationship.

There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.

The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.

You're also more confident when you're not looking for anything tbh

I must be ugly as sin. My wife and I have been married almost five years and I have yet to be in a situation where a woman is pursuing me and I can shout, “I don’t know you! You’re not my wife!” and run away.

It’s like when children grab the toys of others. They don’t want to ~~play~~ ~~with~~ keep the toy, the fact of the toy being possessed is what makes the toy desirable. The grass is always married on the other side of the fence.

Edit: choice of wordS

In a sense of understanding the wife's perspective, proximity is just as important as the other major factors that affect how likely a relationship is to begin. There was a cool study of college students who lived in an apartment style building that showed you were most likely to begin a relationship with the person who had a door immediately next to yours. The only exception to that was for the person who had a door immediately next to the mailboxes. Proximity matters because it lets another person see you enough to form opinions based on a lot of interactions, and we all know someone who 'shines' despite their physical looks.

Plot twist: new neighbor was wearing a shirt that read, "I <3 dad bods," and was already flirting (asking for help moving boxes /eyeroll) with the guy in sweatpants.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 80 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Really sad that so many people are closed-minded about relationships with mailboxes.

You wouldn't believe how many people go postal once they see my tramp stamp.

ALSO MY DUMB LUCK: wife is into it

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 52 points 1 week ago (46 children)

fat

Not a deal breaker. The dad bod is in. I suspect other dad qualities are also in. Like sweatpants and socks with sandals.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Youngsters wear Birkenstocks with socks in France.

Yes and it's quite popular (age group like 16-20 I guess) possibly the summers footwear.

I kid you not.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 1 points 6 days ago

OG sandals involved socks always. Granted fashion has changed a bit over the various millennia since the invention of sandals and socks.

About 16% in men have a fat fetish compared to <1% of women. Also about 36% of women prefer a partner heavier than them. Also, 97% want a man who’s taller than them while about 2 % of women want a man smaller than them.

Of all the people currently alive, about 7% are women aged 25-35. of those 1% like fat men, of those 2% want the man to be smaller. So you have 0.0014% of any given population who is female 25-35 and likes small fat men. About half of them are single, you you have 0.0007% of any population who will find you attractive.

In a city of 400,000 people that’s 3

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Got a link or anything to back up those stats about partner preferences? Sounds like some made up vcel nonsense.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Physical attractiveness isnt the only kind. Lots of dummy guys get got chicks by being funny or kind.

[–] deathbysnusnu@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you're saying there's a chance.
