I button then zip. I feel like my zipper isn’t all the way up it I do it zipper first.
Neither for me, because of how tall and skinny I am, the pants that I wear just slip on and off, after putting on / taking off a belt, of course.
You know, this is an excellent question and can stir a great debate. In fact MIT did some studies on this and they found that 48.7 % of people actually zip up pants before buttoning while 51.3% buttoned, then zipped. Many and various reasons were given for both preferences. It turns out that amongst men, those who were particularly proud of their endowment (whether imagined or real) were more likey to zip first, thereby lowering the possibility of getting “caught” so to speak.
Those who buttoned first were found either to have no delusions as to their gifts or were very conscientious about going about the act of buttoning then zipping.
I prefer to zip first, knowing the true measure of what I am and therefore, being conscious to preserve and safeguard that which is.
i dont wear pants.
kidding…
button then zip.
I don’t wear pants! :)
Not kidding.
Button.
Zip.
It feels weird if I do it the other way.
i just slide mine on and off, i don’t ever unzip or button. not even for the bathroom!
another button then zipper
Wait, I have to zip and button them?!! No wonder they keep falling off!!!
button then zip now that I have gained weight… I used to zip then button.
button then zip. Seems physically easier to zip after.
zip/button. I like to click the top of the zipper down to make it catch, and the
buttoning-first gets in the way of my fingers. How do you button/zippers manage that?
button, then zip ftw! I find my opposable thumb makes it easy enough to “make the zipper catch”
I personally button then zip because it does seem easier that way.
Now i’m curious as to see what ratio of men vs women are button-then-zip or zip-then-button people. Do more women button first? Hmmm… contemplative
