See this is why when I wear pants, they're men's. For some reason my dresses have reasonable pockets. Also steal men's bodywash.

So I guess I'm saying, lifehack!!1! Take men's poo poo and use it as your own.
Deodorant, too. Stuff like Speed Stick is less than $2, while a smaller stick marketed to women is around $3.50. You can get unscented so you don't smell like DUKE CANNON.

I wear men's pants. a 32 is always a 32 regardless of brand, while women's sizes are weird and confusing and if you fall somewhere between standard sizes you're hosed. Plus pockets. And men's shoes mostly, but that's because I have giant honking feet and if I'm able to find something not-hideous in my size then they also assume I must have like EE width when I'm actually AA.

I have a friend who does the opposite. He's just small enough to fit into largest women's shoes, so he buys shoes in the women's corner of the shop because in the men's corner they're all boring grey/black monocolour while womens ones get all the colours you could want

Oh hell, as far as deodorant goes I use that salt crystal thing. Works great, and one or two last a whole year. Super cheap and no scent.

Works better for me than regular deodorant and doesn't leave weird filmy stuff on my clothing. I just like it because it isn't gross and actually works all day :shrug:

Added to my amazon list. I'll have to give this a whirl. I mostly hate scented deodorant and I'm not a fan of MENS!!! products in general anyways. If I have some crazy scented body wash and then i throw on some wacktastic smelly deodorant, I can't wear a scent I care about without smelling like mixed up desperation. I want to find something where I can smell pleasant but not EXTREME!!!! SURGE!!!

I hope this becomes common. I definitely developed a thing for women in cargo pants after doing theater tech in high school for a while.

Cargo pants are currently on trend. But lots of ladies who don’t care about trends have been wearing them all along.

Deodorant chat reminded me of when I told someone I didn't really bother with putting away my shirts (I lived in a really small apartment so there pretty much wasn't any closet space to hang them up or a place to put a laundry hamper anywhere). I'd throw everything in piles and to see if a shirt was clean or used, I'd just smell under the sleeve. They were all :barf: and I didn't understand why.

In hindsight they thought I meant if a shirt smelled bad it was used and if not, it was clean, whereas the situation was if a shirt smelled good (because of deodorant residue) it was used and if it smelled of gently caress-all, it was clean.

It's not as bad as women's vanity sizing, but a 32 can still vary between 30 and 34 inches (before any kind of stretching out from wear or shrinking in the wash) in my experience. Even when comparing in the same brand. It's definitely not consistent enough for me to just grab a 34 without trying it on.

Sometimes I lifehack pockets into my clothes, but I also own multiple sewing machines and understand how to operate them, as well as the basics of pattern drafting and apparel construction. Lifehack: waste a bunch of money studying fashion design in college then never complete your degree so you can save money by making your own pockets! :j:

Deodorant chat: Arrid XXTra Dry. Comes in unscented, the regular doesn't have an overwhelming smell, and it will work for more than a day in emergencies. It does have wax, so it can eventually leave stuff on your clothes pits.

Personally, I hate over scented things, especially fake smells that were created in a lab and don't smell like anything real. I prefer cedar scented soaps, because I've never found a "fresh" smell anywhere in nature. Seriously, what the hell is that supposed to smell like? I know the companies ran a bunch of smells past test groups and asked "Which one smells like the concept of 'fresh'?" The only concept that has a smell is depression, which smells like an esoteric French cheese shop.

I've been conditioned so hard by the fashion industry that jeans never have pockets, or have fake ones, that I didn't realize the new ones I bought had front (gasp) pockets until a week later.
They have pockets.
Not so big, but at least I can keep my bus fare there. I want to kiss whoever designed them.

I feel somewhat guilty as a guy because I have clothing with pockets. I just assumed that all practical clothing has pockets and I'm not sure why women's clothing doesn't have pockets. I suppose it hast to do with the cut or silhouette or some such but it's not my fault. I get that women usually have pocketbooks and men don't but there should alway be a place to carry a $20, just in case.

Cement bread drink coasters?
As one with a partial Italian heritage, I'm offended that two of our beloved national symbols (bread and concrete) would be mixed together in such a way, that it produces a sub par (look at that poo poo starting to flake off and crack) product and is also a waste of both good bread and good cement.

That bread could have been eaten, like god intended, and that cement could have been molded in to a statue of a chick with big boobs. Also like god intended.

Because then it couldn't be called "cool cement ideas you can do at home" could it, smart guy? :colbert: The resin thing looks like it takes actual effort and skill too, unlike just dunking a slice of bread in cement and calling it a day.
