      I, at least, wear my compression capris (a subset of yoga pants, I think) for a medical reason (abdominal compression improves bloodflow more than compression socks, in POTS patients). They also make my butt look great, but I wouldn’t squeeze into them every day if they didn’t reduce my standing heart rate significantly.

      I’m not aware of a similar medical reason for wearing a pushup bra.

      Yoga pants were first designed and sold by Lulu Lemon, which was founded by Dennis “Chip” Wilson.

      So I don’t necessarily disagree, I hope you understand that you should be mad at other men for creating them, not at women for wearing them. Call it false advertising all you want, but its false advertising created by men.

      If you want a woman with an ass, just look for a hockey player, tbh.

        Same thing if you’re looking for a guy with an ass.

        However, if you live somewhere like the Caribbean where hockey players are thin on the ground, sprinters are right up there.

        Chip Wilson?

        That’s the guy who said ‘frankly some women’s bodies just actually don’t work for wearing Lululemon pants. It’s really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it,’ right?

          Yeah? He’s still responsible for them. I never said he was a good person or that he was wrong, just that men are responsible for this “false advertising” as you so eloquently put it.

          I’m not arguing with you that the pants make women’s butts look better and that it may disappoint you when you manage to bed one. I am arguing that it’s not advertising because women are humans and our society stopped explicitly selling those a while ago.

              That’s a very obtuse response. Idk why you’d ask people to change your mind when you don’t want your mind changed, but I have a job to do that doesn’t involve convincing you that advertising is not for human beings. Have fun with your thread.
