Guys, what do you consider your ideal pants size ?

I'm doing some quick research and would love some assistance from our guy members.

I would probably shed a tear if I could fit into a pair of 34"s. Realistically, I'd be happy with anything in the 30's.

Give it time - it will happen - Started at a 46 and now I am down to a 33 or 34 depending on the cut!

Started at 42, now 34 is loose, ideally I will like it to be 30-31, but I don't think I can be there without plastics.

I'm a 40-44 depends on the cut but my ideal waist would be 30

I have been a 44-46 for so long that I can't imagine being in the 30s.

Based on 2:1 height to waist ratio I should be a 38 waist. If my shoulders are broader than my waist I'm happy

I'd love to be 32 I'm 40 right now.

My 30" waist shorts are getting baggy now, glad they were cargo shorts that came with matching belts... lol. Cooler morning today, and I am wearing some super baggy 32" jeans. Hard to believe I was wearing 44's just a little over 6 months ago!

Before the surgery I was a tight 42, 10 days post-op I am a somehow loose 42, and would like end up as a 34.

i'm at 42 now and pushing 40'. its really hard to believe i was a 54 pushing god knows what 8 months ago. just surreal

I was 48"""". And now 34s are too loose,,,,

  • 4 months later...

Right now at 11 months post surgery I went from being a 56/58 to now I'm in a 40/42. Ideal size for me would be about a 34/36. So I'm really really close to reaching that goal.
