It's to leave space for full pockets

You know, in my jealousy about the capacious pockets in men's pants, I never thought about how they must weigh the pants down when they're full of keys and wallet and phone and tampons and condoms and stuff. No wonder y'all need belts!

Yarp. I have a pair of shorts I wear around the house, no belt no problem. The moment I put anything in a pocket, though? They'll be 'round my knees if I don't watch out!

Before I transitioned I used to wear cargo pants. (When presenting male, I didn't give a fuck what I looked like lol). I put so much stuff in those pockets, including a charger for my laptop. My pants were so heavy I had to wear suspenders to hold them up - a belt wouldn't cut it.
