For a long time, I resisted lounge pants. In the summer, I wear shorts around the house and during winter, I wore my Wranglers both at the house and out and about. AJ had tried to get me to buy some lounge pants seemingly forever, but I refused. I never saw lounge pants as the manliest of garbs. I am not saying that I thought that a wearer of lounge pants was gay or anything, it just didn't seem right. Soft cotton on men seemed suited for t-shirts and drawers but I was always about some tough ass denim to protect me from the hazards of the world.
But a couple of years ago, AJ got tricksy. She bought me a pair of lounge pants for Christmas, but she didn't give them to me as a gift. No she was much tricksier than that. She had my young son give them to me as a Christmas gift. That way when I opened the gift in front of his bright smiling hopeful face, I was forced to say thank you and beam with dumb-eyed gratitude when he asked if I liked them. I was even forced to wear them.
And you know what, Damn them things were comfortable. And AJ had even bought a manlier pair than most that I had seen. They had tribal designs and skulls all over them. For the past two years, I have worn the everlovin' shit out of my lounge pants. I have never bought another pair but by god I wear these sumbitches all the time around the house. (I still would never be seen in public in the damn things.)
I leave em crumbled up beside my side of the bed when I'm not wearing them until AJ finally gets sick of it and hauls it to the laundry room. Hell, I just wear them around the house. How could they get dirty after one to two dozen wearings? But now my lounge pants have seen better days. And I know that no matter how many times that I tell AJ that they are fine and they are just now getting to their optimal comfort level, soon I will come home and find them missing. Like a favorite pair of holey underwear, or a well in broke barbecue-stained tee-shirt.
Yes soon I must shop for some more lounge pants. Maybe this time I won't get a pair with skulls but I do need a pair that is manly as lounge pants can get. Perhaps with large breasted naked women. Hell I'm just wearing them around the house. It could get me two fold entertainment value, in the first place it will make AJ even angrier and two if the Jehovah's Witness Man shows up at my door, I will give him something to pray about.

I'll send you some Hannah Montana ones and you can wear them around the compound :-P
I'd bet I'd look real special in those. Thanks a lot, Ali.
Ahhh lounge pants... soft enough for a man, but made for a woman ;)
gotta love em!
Come to my house at any hour and you will see Durk in his lounge pants, with black socks. He has to wear black socks to work and says he doesn't change them to spare me doing the laundry. But I would rather wash a mountain of black socks than see him in those damn things.
I won't give up my lounge pants!! I need them, I'm not lounging unless I'm in them.
terry: You said it.
mimi: I am strictly a white tube sock kinda of a guy.
angel, jr: Ain't that the truth.
I am currently wearing lounge pants....or as I like to call 'em: pajama pants. ;-)
Comfort has a sexiness all to it's own.
After many years of tryin I finally got Ol Man to wear track pants around the house (thicker than lounge pants, needed for the fuckin cold up here) and like you he thinks that several weeks can be in between washings...please pass this bit of info onto AJ...I got 2 pair exactly the same and when I want to wash the pair that he is wearing I take them while he sleeps and put the clean pair in for their turn of wearing...took him a long time to figure it out...men is so bright :o
ol lady: AJ appreciates the advice and concurs with you on the intelligence of men. Why can't we all just get along. ;)
