Is it ok to wear no belt with dress pants?

If you're an engineer they are just happy you put on pants before coming to work.

I was 130 pounds at 17 and wore a size 32 waist. Which man wears a size 30 waist?

Either your numbers are off, or you're very short. Average height (say 5'10") at 130 lbs would be swimming in a size 32 waist. Especially a 32 waist suit pant.

Plot twist: He's a 32 inch cube.

To me a belt offers the opportunity to subtlety accessorize - like brown belt and shoes with navy suit

No kidding, I don't think I had a 30 inch waist since junior high school. What is your guys' height and weight?

I haven't gotten any complaints from upper management about my shorts, yet.

I have done some calculations though with respect to belts. Restroom breaks take an estimated 37% less time without a belt. Also, a 96% reduction in the chance of belt ends touching the inside of urinal.

You see these jeans I'm wearing? I change the 32 waist on the label to a 31. On all my jeans.

You undo your belt at the urinal? Do you drop your pants to the floor too?

Wait a second..... what part of urinal use involves a belt being undone? Are you that guy with his pants around his ankles at the urinal?

Admittedly, I only wear a belt once a year at the office Xmas party in an attempt to look spiffier, but...how do you undo the pants button then? You mean, you supposed to just unzip and dig around in there to fish it out? That explains things. I always wondered why people were *that* disgusted by people not washing their hands after the urinal. Gross. I don't even touch "it". Jesus. Holy crap. So people actually touch it when they pee? And tuck it back in?

Maybe TMI, but - unbutton, unzipper, lower front of underwear slightly and use to flip it out, prop it up, and aim, finish, underwear back up, zip, button. No touch peeing.

No, my pants aren't that loose. I buy pants that fit.

How do you do it without the belt being undone? Just unzip and fish through the hole?

[Joborule]

If you wear boxer briefs with no fly, it's impossible to not undo the belt.

[Stormageddon]

I now understand why there is always pee all over every urinal/toilet. Guys are unbuckling and just dangling it out there without aiming because they don't want to touch their junk?

That seems insane.

[RougeUnderoos]

It's amazing to me that some people can/prefer to take a leak without really undoing their pants, and others can do it without even touching their weiner.

Was this covered in CALM class or something? I must have missed that day.

Either way, it all seems risky to me. Open things up, take control, then close up shop. It's a risk-free way of doing things. And ALWAYS wash your hands. You may wonder why people are adamant about handwashing in the bathroom and not agree with it and you have to deal with that yourself, but I promise, if your coworkers or acquaintances or even buddies see you bypass the sink on the way out of the can, they'll take note of it. And it's not a "good" note.

A lot of people, men especially, are in denial about the fact that they are overweight. Once you get larger than about a 34 inch waist, youre into overweight territory and at around 38 inches you are getting into obese. Being taller will give you a few more inches around the waist before you start getting into the overweight or obese range.

Something to keep in mind as well is that most brands of men's clothes now use vanity sizing so you should add 1 to 2 inches to your pant size to get your true waist measurement, if you dont actually measure your waist.

You can search and find medical tables that will show you waist size ranges. Height to waist ratio can be used as a better tool than BMI to predict health issues.

The average American male is 5'9" with a 39" waist, otherwise known as fat.

You can carry muscle mass without having a big waist. Bigger than 32" typically means you have a gut and love handles.

That just doesn't add up to me, that's all. I'm definitely overweight nowadays, but even in high school I had a 34" waist and was in great shape back then

You are aiming it though, by propping it up on the edge on the underwear. We will say that "it" is at the 12 o'clock position along the underwear, so facing towards the urinal. Thumbs on the at 10 and 2 o'clock positions along the elastic waistband of the briefs control the yaw, pitch, roll.

Also, as a bonus, no possibility of this...
