Men Don’t Want “Seven For All Humanity Jeans” Here are 7 Reasons: ``` 1. Queer Looking 2. Not a Blue Hue 3. Fit Funny 4. Not Related to Levi's 5. The Back Fits Like the Front 6. The Stitching is Effeminate 7. Comes w/Zipper ``` ---

Why would I give a rat’s ass about your opinion of the jeans I wear? If I’m wearing them, they ain’t effeminate. Denim ain’t got gender, whereas I do. And you’ll pardon the reductive generalization but it looks like a major theme you’ve got going here is that you think there’s something about them that’s wrong for **men** and that it has to do with effeminacy / queerness. You don’t like 'em, don’t buy 'em and don’t wear 'em. But insofar as you’re male (and apparently have an aversion to things queer and/or effeminate), and I’m male, and you’ve started a thread about why **men** should not wear them, I’ve got to ask again: why would I or any other male person give a flying fuck what you think of the clothes that we choose to wear? ---

[These?](http://www.bennettsclothing.com/seven_jeans_2.htm) $120+ for a pair of jeans? What the hell are these people on? ---

Man, I have a pair of jeans with the same wear-pattern because I tend to sit with my legs crossed. I hadn’t realized I’d added 100 bucks to their value, I thought they were ruined! Yay me. ---

Thanks for the heads-up, **Mr. Roboto**! If you’re a man, don’t buy $120 pairs of blue jeans from the women’s section of a store. Check. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’m tempted. I need a bracelet for such emergencies, that reads, “What Would Mr. Roboto Do?” ---

Seven make jeans for guys? I love the versions for girls - I like the wash, and they fit (and age) quite well. And $120 is reasonable for jeans … isn’t it? :eek: ---

Disturbing, lumpy ass shots of pudgy guys in tight, somewhat beat up looking $ 150.00 jeans … this is a parody site … right…_right?_ [sub]Please say yes[/sub] ---

Can I just go on record here as saying that the pictures in **Mr. Blue Sky’s** link are the Single Worst Advertisement For Outerwear Ever? Dude. NONE of those asses look good. Not a single freakin’ one of 'em. In fact, the correlation appears to be that if you buy a pair of Seven jeans, even if you have a fabulous ass, it’ll instantly look like…ass…wait, this is falling apart… Anyway. Just wanted that noted. Ugh. The one in the middle on the bottom row has _no_ ass at all. Why would you take a picture of something that isn’t actually there? “This Is Where The Ass Is Supposed To Be? Buy These Jeans?” Amazing how one manufacturer can make jeans that make everbody’s ass look awful. Wow. Anti-bravo here. ---

I am beginning to wonder, having observed the back pockets of those jeans again (in the name of science, natch), what meaning if any we should attach to those various symbols. ---

That is a pretty lousy site for advertising. I mean all you see is the ass shots, in which the guys posing, are throwing a hip out and making the jeans look warped. Under each ass picture has some blurb about the jeans, like “stretch boot”, “wide leg jean”, “flare jean” etc. Yeah, it would have been a lot nicer had they showed the front of the jeans before the ass shots, ya know? ---

Mr. Roboto, I have to wonder why on earth you started a second thread on these pants. You don’t like them. We got it. Now let it go! ---
