Well, you have to admit that guys get more leway on what they can and cannot be. I mean, if you go to buy pants for a guy, all the pant sizes are going to be there in the mens. But if you are a woman, if you are so small, then you're pettite, then some are in the normal section. But if you are a 12 or over, you are "plus" size. So there's more motivation for both guys and girls to know girls pant sizes. I only said 30 because I swear my Dad's a 33 and he's older with a little gut so I figured 30 would be normal....but appearantly not, lol.
On girls a 30 is a size 10, etc. Plus you have to remember that our pants sit on our hips, not our waste.

I don't get it... hips? pics perhaps would clear this up.

It seems to have something to do with height as well, sometimes. I mean, my friend and I have the same pair of pants from AE. Mine are a size two and hers are a ten. She's not fat at all, she's just 5'9, while I'm only 5'3. And, they make different lengths so ... I don't know?
I'm not to sure about pant sizes, myself. All I know is I hate buying pants because I never like how they look.

Hey that's for sure. But there's a four inch difference in me and my cousin and she's the same size as I am.
Let's just protest pants and go naked, eh?

I generally have to get a larger size in pants that fit well because my legs are so long that occasionally it looks like I'm preparing for a flood.
But I don't think its so much what guys think that annoys me, its the friggin stores. I hate the fact that 9/10 clothing stores in the mall are for skinny boobless girls. I'm tall, and that means most pants and such don't fit. I have a chest, that means most shirts don't fit. It's really frustrating. And what Cass said too, the way that sizes are in different sections is also pointless labeling.
I think the whole waist size vs. length depends on the store and the make and such.

I do NOT get sizes. I seemed to wear a 14 when I was like 11, and now I just have no idea. The sizing system is different in every store, I swear. They need to come up with one universal system, like shoes, ya know?

In shoes I go from an 11-8. They are definately not universal!

A million dollar body is worthless with a ten cent mind. Looks are a big part of initial attraction I guess, but the person's personality is (and should be) what hooks you.

I dont get sizes either! I go into one store and i'm a 6, and then into another store and im a 12! I wish it was universal, i can never have trouses bought for me because each store has its own weirdo way.
Another thing i hate is what Sarah said. I'm tall, and all the trousers are too short. I dont have the same issue with tops though

ALSO: I'd like to say that I've never ever been in a serious relationship with someone because i thought they were "cute". I did the shallow thing, and beliiiieve me, what goes on in the mind, is 40000000 times better.

Girls, you always just tell your friends your pant size is your smallest size. I know my friends snoop in my closet though. And our other friends, it bugs the hell out of me!
I think I should just make my own, that way I'd never know what size it is!

my friend got me these pants one year for my birthday from abercrombie and they were a whole two sizes less than i usually take and they fit just like the rest. i wish i had money to buy pants there just so i could say i take that size haha
