Wow, I find this poll really interesting. I figured that most guys would have voted 4-5.

I'd vote if I knew what the options meant! :D

I didn't vote because like Josh, I have no clue what a girl's size means. I know that the lower the number the smaller the pants, but I have no clue if in reality a 12 is really big or if a 1 is really small.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Size 12 isn't that big really. A girl can be any size as long as she's nice really.

There are a size 10 from Express.

Those are basically the biggest ones I wear but fit me like an 8. I have other 10s that are way too big. But those are the only clear pant shots I can find.

Oy... *tries to find pants pictures*... :lol:

K, these are the best I could do. Hopefully you can tell how big they are/how they fit. Keep in mind that I'm 5'4" (same height as Alex).

Size 1:

Size 3:

Size 3:

Size 5:

And, just to mix things up, these are only labelled as "small":

It's funny, cos those size 5's are smaller than most of my 3's.

What's strange is that none of us seem to be all that much bigger or smaller than the others.

I say we revolt against the pant makers of the world and demand they make sizes normal.

It's the height that makes the difference most of the time. Granted, my friend Kelsea is almost my height and she wears a 2. But then does my roommate and she's not even 5 feet tall.
