I was told by a tailor that I should always wear pleated pants because my legs are too muscular for flat-front trousers in my size.

It's a good thing I like the look of pleated better. Right?

OMG what is wrong with me, why does the thought of all these men in pleated pants make me hot.

Pleated pants is to cock as low cut blouse is to breasts.

Really? I've always been told to stay away from pleats because they make guys look fatter than they really are.

Did you forget guys are allowed to look fat?

Anyway my brother is a heavy guy and looks much skinnier and nicer in a well fitted pair of pleats than anything else.

But you also have to do what feels right, let's face it not all girls like low cut shirts either.

Pleats will always be open for debate. I think they look classic, but you'll need to be sure to find what suits you best.

If I wear flat fronts, they get too tight around my thighs. The pleats give me extra room that I need. They now have single pleats which don't look at "pleaty" as double pleats, which have been the standard.

I didn't know I've had "man cleavage." Are you serious? Pleats are man-cleavage?

If I remember, I am definitely going to post a picture of my ass tomorrow.
It depends. Pleats look good up on the natural waist (near the hips,) but not lower than an inch below the navel, at which point it becomes too much material for anyone. I'm heavy, but I look good in a suit with pleated pants worn high, but not senior citizen high (check my profile pic for the illustration.)

Ok, I wear those or similar shorts ALL THE TIME.

A few weeks ago, my SO and I went to Hershey Park together. Sure enough, I had forgotten a bathing suit and only had some white board shorts, so I wore them with a set of boxers underneath to the boardwalk area.

Sure enough, I forgot to bring spare undies to the park with me.

So I had no choice but to free ball it all day in those Columbia shorts, and I was MORTIFIED. Those things left absolutely nothing to the imagination. All day, I found myself trying to cross my legs while leaning on railings to minimize whatever was peeking through while waiting for rides. Of course, my SO happens to have an amazing body and I could see her swimsuit through her outfit all day, so I was trying to hide a half chub to boot. The entire day was a total nightmare.

Personally, I hate pleats. They add too much poof to the front of the pants; all I can see is fabric and nothing more. I prefer flat-fronts. I make my guy return any pants he's given with pleats and swap them for flat-fronts.

I guess this means you can't handle me....

Have you even seen the single pleats? Their rather understated for pleats, which are normally doubled each side.

But as was said here, it really does matter who's wearing them. You never know, maybe you'd not like the look of my legs in flat fronts as much because of my shape. You'd have to see a comparison.

I don't care what kind of pants a man wears as long as they aren't too short.

I don't know that "man-cleavege" is the term I would use, but you know how when a woman wears a low cut shirt you can't help but look? Pleated pants are the same way, when I see a man in pleats I can't help but look, and stare, and long to touch to taste to have. But I am a freak so it could just be me.

I never wear pleated pants casually. Only if it's a special occasion and we're going someplace. I like my jeans and cotton just fine.

Ditto.

Pleats have their place.

i prefer "man-toe" to moose knuckle, as in the male version of camel-toe.

one time i won some tickets to go snowboarding and took a buddy who'd never been. he brought his dad's old ski outfit from the 70's. it was purple nylon, had bell-bottoms, and about 2 sizes too small in the crotch. to make it worse, my friend is noticeably well-hung even if you're not trying to notice.

needless to say, he was rockin the man-toe that day.

So, did he get lucky? Or, to make this even more uncomfortable, did his dad get lucky with this outfit? And did that result in him? So, was he wearing the very outfit that caused him to exist?

I must say that I am not a crotch-checker-outter (after the face, I usually notice arms/biceps next), but our recent experience on the nude beach in Spain made it difficult for me to avert my eyes from the bare naked crotches all around me. I think I prefer clothing on those crotches, over all, if they're going to be meeting me at eye level (other than my husband, whose dick looks good in any circumstance) but again, I pretty much try to avoid looking down there on most men in general.

Pleats? Come on, really? Doesn't do it for me. The single-pleat is a bit better.

It's all about properly-fitting flat-front pants. Yum. First time I saw them on dress pants, I was in heaven. But you have to be youngish and in good form to pull them off.

As for the OP, I don't frequently check out a guy's crotch. More of a fun of hands, eyes, and bum. If any of those are visible, I'll look there first.

I don't really look at guys in general, but I can't help staring at my guy's crotch. Maybe because I know what fun is pressing against that material, sometimes I catch myself almost salivating. Whoa Baby! I love my man's crotch.

maudlinae

Oh wow, my SO has a pair of black single-pleat pants he wears to work sometimes. He hasn't figured out yet that when he wears them I go mad because woooooow. I don't know what it is about them but you can see just the faintest shape and they cling to his butt rather nicely as well. I agree with Milkyway, pleated pants are hot!

MSD

What I'm getting here is that I need to take pictures in each pair of pants I own and ask the TFP women how they make my dick and my ass look, and find more or those pants.

LoganSnake

I think I should do the same.

OK, when my room is clean enough that the mess won't distract from my pants, I'll start taking pictures.

sidney

I think pleated trousers are really sexy on men, they are just really masculine and draw your eye to their crotch. It's like they need that extra fabric there to accommodate their large penis.

hunnychile

Yes, I always check out BOTH the crotch AND the ass. And I do it so that he never saw me looking! (Years of practice!).

Also love to look at their hands for size

...are we still going to post our pants on here for the ladies approval? Since I am 50 now and single, and have no sense of style I can use the help. And yes...I have many pairs of pleated pants, and after a 60 lb weight loss they fit much better!

I'm as heterosexual as they come, but I gotta admit- if David Bowie showed up on my doorstep dressed like that, I'd probably try to have sex with him.

We can see if you shook the old fella after peeing of course. You do know there are peni pads if you cant shake - its not the end of the world.

I did used to like the look of a man with a nice bottom - but I always look them in the eyes when talking to them. Teeth are important - who would want to put anything in a mouth with rotten stubs of teeth.
Old woman once regaled to me with horror the tale of how she had been waiting in the local newsagents, and a man walked in with cycling shorts on - she said 'and his willy was on the counter'.
Oh yeah, travelling on a ferry to Hook of Holland, I noticed the crotch of a man in the next sleeper - because he had drunkenly peed his pants in the night.
I have only ever seen moose knuckle refering to a certain type of larger lady - as they wear 'budgie smugglers', surely you are looking at their budgerigar?
