I loathe shopping for underwear. Mostly because it requires me to spend a lot of time looking at pictures of men in their underwear. The worst part is, you are forced really examine the pictures because you have to make sure you get the right kind. The only thing that could be worse than shopping for underwear is returning underwear.

Beyond the looking at nearly naked men part, there are a lot of other things that bother me about underwear shopping. First, I am convinced that I am the only guy alive who buys his own underwear. Every time I’m in the men’s underwear section, it’s me and 3-5 women shopping for men’s underwear. I almost feel like I’m not supposed to be there or something. Traditional gender roles are not a big deal to me, but if I ever get married, it will be my wife’s duty to buy me my underwear. That way I don’t have to feel like the weird guy buying his own underwear.

Another thing, size. My waist size fluctuates from 34 to 36 inches depending on how often I’m working out. Medium underwear is for men who’s waist size is 32 to 34 inches, and large underwear is for men who’s waist size is 36 to 38 inches. Did I miss something here? Is there a Medium/Large size hidden somewhere? I go with the large, because seriously what self respecting guy would wear medium underwear. I’m surprised underwear companies even label men’s underwear small, medium, and large. They should do it like Starbucks and call the sizes tall, grande, and venti. Maybe I should start telling people I wear grande underwear and see if it catches on.
