“Suspended” Information

Among the countless mysteries of life, of which I have no adequate answers to, now and then I do indeed find the answers to things that have mystified me over the years.

One thing that has always mystified me is why older men always wear trousers with their belt line so very high up over their waists. Or why do so many old men wear suspenders. When I was a kid and watched I Love Lucy, I was always fascinated why Fred Mertz’s trousers were always so high up on his waist. I have also noticed this in other older guys over the years.

 

Ironically, over the last few years as I age, I have been wearing suspenders more and more. I have at last solved this one mystery based on my own anecdotal evidence. I finally figured out why older men do this or if they use a belt, to pull the trouser waist as far up as possible. As men age, they tend to develop larger abdomens and lose their hip contours. That has happened to me. Consequently, no matter how tight I buckle my belts, my jeans tend to slip down past my waist due to gravity. Another reason I wear suspenders more and more is that over the years I have an inverse continuing cycle of losing and gaining weight. This is synonymous with my anxiety levels that come and go depending on how the brain chemicals decide to flow.

I trust this rare useful Blog entry that has answered one of the big mysteries in life that perchance others have wondered about as well.
