Sometimes I think I should headbutt Natasha.
Wait, what?
I mean I Wouldn’t! But it’s just argh, you know?
Nope, I don’t know.
You know how I am supposed to go to the beach this weekend?
You mean we’re supposed to go to the beach this weekend? A bunch of us?
Yeah, that.
Yeah, I remember our plans.
Well I have nothing to wear!
And this is Tashi’s fault?
Yeah.
How is that?
I bought a new bikini a few weeks back, but last week Natasha asked to borrow it.
She borrowed your bikini?
Yeah it was a perfect color for her, I mean I get why, but she stretched out the top.
Uhm. How to say this. Mel, I mean, didn’t you …
Yes I know her boobs are bigger than mine! But I thought she was only going to wear it for a short time, not longer enough to really stretch it out! She must have worn it for like, ever, or something.
I just don’t get it.
What’s to get? Fabric stretching?
No, no, just why you women do that!
Do what? Have different sized boobs? Dan, make sense.
Why do you guys lend your clothes to each other so much?
I dunno, I mean, what’s so odd about it?
All right, look. A guy might lend another guy a sweater. If it’s cold or something. Raining, I don’t know. But you’ll never see a guy say “Oh, hey those pants look bitching, let me borrow them next weekend?”
Well why not?
I … we just don’t. You don’t borrow another man’s pants, or a dress shirt, really. Sweaters, sweaters happen.
Only sweaters?
Only thing I can think of borrowing, clothing-wise, from another guy in my life. Or lending.
But outside of the Sweater Exception, nothing?
Not a thing. And we don’t have to worry that someone stretched out our pants and we can’t wear them.
But…
Nope, nothing to it.
But what if those pants would really look good on you?
Then you buy a pair.
But you only need them for one date! And they’re expensive!
Then you find something else to wear. See how liberating this is?
No! It’s wasteful.
Oh yeah? Which one of us has a stretched out bikini top?
Grrr!
Exactly!
I don’t believe she…
I don’t believe you didn’t think it would happen! It’s kind basic. You wouldn’t lend stretchy pants to someone twice as big as you.
I didn’t think about it!
Obviously.
Now I have to buy a new top!
Or borrow one.
Ohhh yeah! I think this girl at my office mentioned a nice bikini she got recently! Hey, yeah!
I was kidding.
I know. I wasn’t.
I know.
It’s green, I think, even!

That’s actually funny, now that I think about it. How come we (males) just don’t borrow each others clothes? It just seems wrong to do, somehow:/ Thingswrongwithme, broadening your horizons since December ’08:P
July 7th, 2009 on 6:12 pm
It is weird, isn’t it? I can’t even imagine lending clothing to a friend, ‘specially not a swimsuit. Hell, I’ve never even lent a sweater to another guy.
July 7th, 2009 on 6:50 pm
HAhah see I’ve lent sweaters to to other guys in the past, but otherwise, yah it doesn’t make sense at all.
And DFJ, since I know you don’t pay attention, did ya see? A post back, a news post for a monday!
July 7th, 2009 on 7:07 pm
Guys associate their own clothing with their own territory? You just don’t share territory…. They’re marked… I mean, shirts have sweat, jeans have sweat and other things, underwea… eewww.
You just.. don’t.
Sweaters on the other hand are things that our parents give us, and therefore already lose the alpha male need to GUARD WITH OUR DEAR LIVES.
(fuck if I know.)
July 7th, 2009 on 7:09 pm
Odd that SWEATers don’t have sweat.
July 7th, 2009 on 7:22 pm
APK: Yeah, I noticed the news, but just barely:D
THEBES: Funny thing is, I don’t have a problem being GIVEN clothes other guys don’t use, for instance (I’m a small guy) clothes they don’t fit anymore. Most people I know have stopped growing by now, but previously it was common:P Borrowing clothes, on the other hand… I’m just not comfortable with that! It’s strange really.

I dunno, I’ve borrowed some swim trunks from a friend before. And lent a guy some pants. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing. It’s not uncommon for guys to borrow clothes where I come from.

Daniel: Interesting. I’m from NY. DFJ is a dane, you know from … dane-land. So where are you from? We can build a map of pantslending!
July 8th, 2009 on 12:53 pm
dane-land? It’s Denmark! Stronghold of beer, Ancient home of the vikings… and today home to a lot of people who are just as drunk, but much less violent:P
July 8th, 2009 on 1:43 pm
You don’t like me renaming Denmark “Dane-land”? Hmph.
July 10th, 2009 on 9:46 pm
hehe, I’m not that thouchy, really:P go ahead and call it what you want;)
July 10th, 2009 on 9:47 pm
HAhahah! I just thought “Denmark” was so …predictable, being the right name and all. *smirk*
July 11th, 2009 on 8:13 pm
Ha ha. I’m from New Zealand. We also have a lots of beer, but we’re somewhat lacking in the Viking department. It’s sad, really.
July 12th, 2009 on 8:30 am
With more vikings the world would be a much happier place!
October 15th, 2009 on 4:31 pm
Lol,okay,from India,totally lend pants,shirts,t-shirts,sun glasses…and that`s it. Let the addition to the pants-lending map be made!
November 24th, 2009 on 12:36 pm
Honestly I don’t like barrowing clothes from other guys. I borrow pants only if they guy isn’t around and its his girlfriend letting me…was that slightly suggestive to any one else?
