Give or Take or Thereabouts

Pants fit. You can tell. They match your contours, or at least as much as you want them to. You know they're good because you get space where you need space and they're close where you need them to be close. Sizing them up is easy. You can tell pretty easily that they look good.

Unless you grow. Then the situation get messed up and if your as old as I am, it probably means you got fat, and that's just upsetting for other reasons. If you got thin then good for you, but I'm already relatively thin and especially being male, it would probably be better if I got fat.

What if I said you didn't know what you want. Your still figuring out where you want space or don't need it. Maybe you're not sure what you like just yet. What's worse, you just keep growing in weird and funky ways. Buying jeans becomes more complicated. Some might just say screw it and decide they want sweat pants, and some might say those people are slobs, and make fun of those people. I'm not saying don't wear sweat pants, but I will tease you about it.

Let's take the obvious mental leap and realize that this isn't a fashion blog, and that pants are a metaphor for significant others (many of you are saying 'duh, really?', and to you I say, 'how very 90's of you'). The jeans analogy still holds except that there are an large number of dimensions, and the jeans also grow, which is weird, especially in the crotch area (yes, I'm that immature). The other thing is wondering where I need to grow. There some space for me to fill, but how much should I change and how much should I expect from my jeans?
