Ok, this cute guy that just passed in my direction just inspired this question.

I don't like the whole 'gangster' style of sagging... as far as pants go, I think the waist on pants should be at your waist or slightly below, but never at a sagging level. I have seen some ridiculous amounts of sagging, too...

What do the rest of you ladies think... do you find it more attractive for guys to have their pants falling off or staying up where they should be?

so much of me is sagging, I don't think it would be fair of me to tell a guy what he should have sagging. Anyway, first thing you do is take their pants off.

I'm not a lady, but I'd like my chance to answer.
Sagging in my opinion is just not cool. Look at where it comes from. And if you think I'm being racist I'm not.

It should be where it was intended to be, at their waist line. It's a big turn off when I see men do that.

The last time I checked I'm not a lady, but, those people make me want to get a nail gun and put them up where they belong. Either that or break out that industrial sized tube of super glue.

Sagging was originally "invented" in prison as a way for men to get to their "property" without having to have much of a hassle.

Sagging is a manner of wearing pants or shorts below the waist, hanging around the buttock area. This manner of dress is practiced, mainly, by young males. It is closely associated with hip-hop music and fashion, as well as gang culture. It is also common among skateboarders. The punk fashion style is also associated with sagging.

Sagging is said to have its origins in the prohibition of belts among incarcerated inmates, which spread to urban youth as a fashion statement for its 'tough guy' cachet. Other root origins are also male inmates sagging to publicly display that they have had sexual relations with other males. It has less use for the meaning and is now for 'tough guy' public display. Initially worn by Southern California gang members, it became a national phenomenon when gangsta rap artists from Los Angeles became popular in the early 90s.[1][2][3]

In early September, 2007, the city of Atlanta was debating whether to have the fashion statement made illegal under an ordinance sponsored by Council member C.T. Martin. This proposal caused considerable feedback.

In many school districts across the United States, sagging is prohibited.[citation needed] The Virginia General Assembly tried, but failed to approve a law making the sagging style illegal in February 2005.[citation needed] In June 2007, the Town council of Delcambre, Louisiana passed an indecent exposure ordinance, prohibiting people wearing trousers which show their underwear.[4]
