A woman who has everything she wants.Image of a woman in a risqué cosplay outfit that consists of military style belts with lots of pockets but no actual clothes (Nudist Beach Nonon).

There are at least 2 to 3 things that all girls want starting with p and ending with s.

Polar bears? ... I seem to remember something about bears being preferred over men.

I definitely want pockets. I’ve had a lot of luck with dresses and baggy work pants. The baggy jeans style has also made pockets easier to find. I feel like having to outsource my storage to a bag I carry is a liability.

Particle Projection Cannons?

And an AWS-8Q to mount them on. Just watch your heat.

Ah the Awesome. It is indeed pretty awesome.

Though I'm a Marauder man personally.

Yes the marauder in all its inceptions is a wonderful machine. I'm planning an all marauder lance for my current playthrough of BTA3062. Marauder II, Nightstar, Marauder IIC, and a MAD-5M (just for nostalgia). All with clan tech

Pocketknives.

Women often have pocketses. It's considered better form/preference to show off their ass better without using them.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I think every statement I've ever heard from women about pockets is that women's clothes often don't have and require more pockets, but that might be survivorship bias where the ones who dont care are silent.

I personally have a great ass but I wouldn't choose to wear pants without pockets.

I remember reading a comment saying that women don't actually want pockets. The manufacturers and retailers have data on this.

What's happening is the women who do want them are in online bubbles that give them the impression that most women want pockets.

It's like how most gamers don't give a shit about DRM, so those of us who know better are stuck with it anyway.

My SIL doesn't want pockets, but she is wealthy and into style. I think some of the women who don't want pockets are into style and/or looking wealthy enough to not need pockets.

Women who are pragmatic want pockets.

I've been ripping open pockets and sewing more fabric onto them making them big.

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 6 points 1 day ago (9 children)

The only data I could find suggests women do want pockets, particularly in pants.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It suggests that young women from the UK want pockets, yes.

I became aware of this once in the office where a woman brought up the fact that guys were lucky to have functional pockets. Most pockets on womans clothing are either fake or are sewn shut and for looks.

I asked why? And she explained it ruins the "Pants Chi". I guess it gets in the way of showing off the figure somehow.

There is often a difference between “consumer wants” and “we will not profit enough to bother”

So you've got a very vocal market calling out their demand for a product that is more or less trivial to manufacture, and yet not a single entrepreneur has successfully brought the product to market. Why would that be?

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

There are retailers who have pockets in women‘s clothing by default but it does have some marginal cost. In a world of fast fashion, if they can get away with it, they will.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A quick search confirms that women's clothing with pockets does in fact exist, so the niche is getting served.

[–] Lyrl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

It takes significantly more time in shopping. Online, the normal look at 25 items to find one that matches my style preferences and is available in my size, then add clicking through all the product detail tabs to try to figure out if it has pockets, 80% of them don't, and of the ones that do it's mostly hope that they aren't poorly designed where everything falls out of them upon sitting down.

I appreciate that, with a multiple of the shopping time investment required by men or women who don't value pockets, and some fallout in unusable pockets, women's clothing with pockets is available. But I sure wish it was more available.

One of classmates always had deep pockets. One time I joked how deep and she pulled out an umbrella. I wished I asked the brand. I was too confused from what seemed like some sort of Vegas illusion.
