text: please, can someone explain why guys wear their pants pull down showing their underwears?   what they probably don't know is that the style came from prison. the men who were recipients of homosexuality would wear their pants in that fashion to show they were available. (this is the god's honest truth) and the designers made it a way of fashion....so our young men could walk around with their butts hanging out of their pants. it's unbelievable that a man would ever want to go around with his butt out.
