John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Designer Jeans

Now I find out!

I finally lose enough weight to buy a pair of designer men jeans–as opposed to “Dad jeans” –and find out almost all have a button-fly instead of a zipper. I am serious! 

What is happening to the male population? C’mon guys. What self-respecting male would prefer button-fly over a zipper? And if they did, what would the reason be?

It isn’t for practical reasons or to impress women. I am pretty sure my wife couldn’t care less about my fly stylings. Is it to impress other men like women who dress for other women?

What happened to my gender while I was overweight and in dowdy clothes?

Surely I didn’t lose all this weight just to be able to wear a svelter pair of Dad jeans, did I?
