Ive been interviewing for software jobs at Macy's. I guess this is the kind of thing I would be working on..

then the women are torn between picking the dumpy mom jeans that fit the best or the trendy low-rise skinny jeans. Or conversely, the expensive ones that fit or the uncomfortable ones on the clearance rack.

What about software that alerts the buyer to potential 'muffin top'?

cgraves67: the trendy low-rise skinny jeans.

The ones that take an otherwise hot looking ass, wrap a rope around the middle of the buns and make it look like a top-heavy cupcake?

I prefer to simply go out sans pants.

I guess that sucks. Guys slap on a pair of 501s and call it good. It's proof God's a guy. You know what else is proof? Cellulite. It's proof God wants guys to enjoy pizza and beer. Thanks, dude. This Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA is for you.

No, I can personally tell you that program is buggy as hell and crashes all the time.

Wife; I want something that goes from zero to 180 fast

Husband; how about a scale?

It would be a lot easier for chicks if they just farking sized them like guys jeans.

Your waist (or top or whatever) is X inches. Your leg is Y inches. Ta farking da. Went jeans shopping with the wife and there were all these numbers that I don't believe bear any relation to any kind of actual measuring system at all. And she has to get two pairs hemmed. HEMMED. Because the length is off. What the fark kind of system is that.

Although the guys sizes are now "cheating" and the numbers don't seem to match up to reality. I'm actually starting to have to try shiat on which is BS. My waist size is a 34. I can measure that. With science. If one set of your pants I fit in a 32, and another type a 34, and then another a 30 then there's some BS going on.

I noticed this shiat started not too long ago. I just want to buy the farking pants and bring them home, not pick out 9 pairs between 30 and 38 and try them on and figure out which ones are going to fit after the first run through the wash. This is a design flaw. A FLAW.

Being a software developer at Macy's, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I hate the way 501's fit. 569's for me.

No it isn't a flaw. It's for guys who want a different fit and don't want the waist to actually sit on their waist. I like the beltline lower myself to give more room in the crotch, so it doesn't scrunch the yambag when I sit down.

Gawdzila: I hate the way 501's fit. 569's for me.

After about 10 years of looking for decent jeans, 569s are my new go-to.

I tried every brand at every store, from Gap to Nordstrom. 569s are the best cut with good material and a good price too.

Number one on the list of guys rules for women. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't seek reassurance from us that you're not. That puts us in the spot of having to choose between lying or risking your wrath. We hate that!

On the other hand, it's not all that bad of a way to see whether or not the guy is someone you could live the rest of your life with. If he can answer with a reasonable mixture of honesty and tact, without throwing a tantrum about how "illogical" women are, he might be worth keeping.

And if he says, "If you think you're fat, you probably are," dump him.
