the elastic is stretchy enough i just stick it in my waistband if I’m home in my undies and for some reason can’t just use my hand to hold it or put it on a surface of some kind.

I dated a girl once who was amazed by the “pocket” in my boxer-briefs until she found it it was actually just the weird hole thing they put in the front that acts as a fly.

honestly, among other things, they say things like “cope and seethe” lmao

I get that you were being satirical but it didn’t translate well to me either haha

didn’t mean to say it’s an issue that affects one gender.

I didn’t think you were lol, I just meant within the context of legwear/purses, that selling an extra thing to one gender at the expense of a feature in another product seems like it would make more sense if you did it for 100% of the pocketed-clothing market, rather than focusing on 50% of the potential customers.

But then, such is marketing and human behavior.

(I’ll carry anything for them), and I always try to get them clothes with pockets.

Good on you! You sound like a good parent.

Yes, but this is also true for women. I feel like pant/skirt companies would make more money just selling pants/skirts with pockets if their competitors weren’t, unless all bottom-clothes companies also started selling purses at the same time in some sort of anti-female-pocket cartel.

I’m sure there’s some history behind this that I don’t fully understand. The logic just seems flawed to me.

But if this logic works, why aren’t they tricking men into buying something else too?

I’m pretty sure for most of them you just type update and it will update.

Yeah, and I’m considerably new to the field. Not unskilled but like entry level new, as far as professional tech experience goes. I was trying to change careers from business degree / accountant when I was laid off.

Really trying not to go back to accounting as it was mind numbingly boring.

I’m just gonna keep trying until something gives and have fun learning more in the process.

I am in the same boat. Can’t even get an interview it seems.

idt i’ve seen one that doesn’t work in years. Maybe a regional thing?
