(lygenztia *300) I have fought the good fight, but alas I surrender to...... gravity?

When you are an adult male and you wear track pants in public, you have completely given up on outward appearances and dignity. I am not talking about wearing track pants while outside doing house chores, like putting out the recycle. Or, actually putting track pants on in order to go to the gym or in pursuit of some other athletic endeavour.

I am talking about wearing track pants in public, as your attire. This is never "ok", with the exception of the aforementioned caveats. Now look, I am certainly not a fitness model, nor do I have the comely looks of a movie star so this isn't about appearances...it's about effort.

Track pants are basically pyjama bottoms, except they are marketed as "track pants". It should be noted; men that wear track pants in public never go to the track. (except to bet on the ponies) When you wear your track pants in public, you basically make the following statement to the world "I can't even bother putting pants on, it's just to much work. I'm going to go with the track pants option. It's easier"

The other issue with track pants, is they sometimes provide a view to the public that is.....ahem, "revealing". As men age, parts of the male body surrender to their battle with gravity. Other people do not wish to be witness to the outcome of that battle.

Cover up, fellas. Put on some jeans.
