The True Meaning Behind Wearing Your Pants on the Ground

By


What are You Signaling?

Not only is it unsightly and disrespectful… No one really wants to see what color boxers you’re wearing today or worse, your butt crack…Wearing your pants on the ground holds other meanings and is considered to be a signal in many cases.

The look actually came from prison where the incarcerated are not issued belts to keep the pants up that are not custom fitted. Prison issued clothing tends to be rather baggy, especially the pants that tend to fall off.

Many guys will tell you that they “sag” their pants because it is the popular thing to do. They tend to think that this makes them look “cool.” However, in prison, this fashion comes from the brothers signaling that they are looking for sex. Yes, my dear friends, this “style” is also a signal for gay sex. If you’re not gay, may I suggest picking your pants up before Bubba comes along and misinterprets your meaning? This could prove to be a mess for a guy who may think he is “sagging” his pants as an interpretation of his favorite rap star, and it also marks you as a felon.

Be real…If you’re not a rap star, this look isn’t working for you. Do you really want to advertise that you are looking for gay sex or that you’re a convicted felon?

Which also brings me to the subject of police profiling…If you’re “sagging” your pants, signaling that you’re a convicted felon, why would an officer of the law not choose to check you out? You’re bringing this on yourself and then complaining about it.

While I myself can be found wearing some pretty controversial styles of clothing, I am not one to tell someone else how they should or should not dress. I am simply stating here the facts, what “sagging” your pants really says about you.

If you’re going to make some kind of statement or signal, I think it best to realize that fact before you are approached by someone misinterpreting the meaning of your personal style. Be prepared for police profiling, offers for gay sex and problems with rival gangs. Educate yourself and carry yourself in representation of who you truly are. In the least, educate yourself and be prepared to counteract the effects of your signaling.

In conclusion, there is a time and a place for everything. Grocery shopping and playing in the park where my children can see your butt crack are not very “gangsta” places to be. In these cases, “sagging” is disrespectful and is a far cry from being cool. Think about it…

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this Hub, Cybersupe :) I think if many of these guys realized what they were signaling and to whom, they would think twice before making this "fashion statement." It has been going on long enough now...This "style" has gotten quite old...It's time for something new ;) I personally would much rather be the trendsetter that I am than walk around wearing what everyone else is already wearing, but maybe that's just me. Have a great day!!! :)

And this also part of the victim mentality culture....unfortunately the country is turning into a bunch of crybabies....and also part of the community that thinks they're automatic victims of slavery....because of their ignorance of their own history selling hundred of millions of their own people into slavery with the help of their friends the muslims....they've actually made slavery the biggest scam in history.. and we've become the actual victims of slavery....so they can live like leaches off the white working class....the actual people who built this country....not by crybabies....

Hmmm...Gregory, I think you make some strong points in some ways; but also some very weak points as well as bringing race into the equation. The fact of the matter is I see just as many young white boys wearing their pants on the ground as any other race. As well, slavery did not start with Africa...It goes wayyyyyy further back into history than that. However, thanks for reading and commenting; and I wish you all the best life has to offer :)

Love & Light,

I agree so much with this post. Nobody wants to see your underwear or your buttcrack. Maybe your boyfriend would but to everybody else its a no-no. Makes me feel sad at how my older brother is supposed to be a role-model but yet he does this.

VAMPGYRL420 3 months ago

Buy him a belt ;P I did that for my younger brother lol Seriously, what I don't get is why these people are now wearing the belt, but it is only holding their pants attached to their calves...What's the deal with that??? It's truly getting worse...

i think people who wear there pant down like that are retards caz they are asking to rape them i hope it happen next time they need to learn to pull them up right .

I agree and they should have enough respect for others to keep their behinds covered in public. Children and grandparents should not have to see displays like this while playing in playgrounds or shopping the local supermarket. It's ugly.

I saw a guy trying to skateboard, holding up his pants frantically. It was hilarious.

Guys. Grow up. Mankind invented the Belt for a reason. So we could distinguish between men and PUKES.

Thank you for reading and commenting, Whaz :) I don't think some people ever grow up; but, hopefully, they will put their pants back up before everything else starts sagging lol
