Had a 'big sis' friend tell my naive and timid ass that saying a couple decades ago. Got reminded of it (not like that) today and had a chuckle.

For context, if a woman is wearing matching bra and panties it's likely she knew you'd be seeing them later that night.

So, I'm curious, you think it's true? Any other thoughts?

It's bullshit. What undergarments I wear have nothing to do with how horny I am. Sometimes I wear matching garments because I felt like it, other times it's just because laundry day happened to line up

[–] Jmsnwbrd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This makes sense in your context, but I am assuming that the context OP is discussing is the woman is going on a date that she knows will at least end up in her getting undressed enough that the other person will see her underwear.

Sure, but that's still not necessarily sex?

One can also wear fun undergarments to a date and then decide not to undress or have sex - usually I think of it as "in case something happens" rather than expecting it from the outset. If nobody sees it, it's not a disappointment, it's just fun regardless.

I like to wear nice underwear when I dress nice regardless of if I intend to put out

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 33 points 2 days ago

Not sure the saying actually comes from a rom-com, but I sure could see it. Dumb. Can't even wear a set of goddamn underwear without someone overanalyzing it.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Everything is so expensive now. If it doesn't have stains or holes I'm counting it as a matching set.

If it doesn’t have stains or holes I’m counting it as a matching set.

lol

I never thought I'd get into thrift shopping. Now I regularly visit a couple local thrift shops and have gotten some pretty decent finds. (Which excites me more than it probably should. Being an adult is not what I expected. lé sigh )

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

This is a great idea. ~~Some~~ most of my favorite undergarments aren't made anymore and all the new stuff is so uncomfortable.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Honestly, underwear with fart holes is the most comfortable. It's good to keep a pair or two of shitty underwear around anyways for when you don't want to risk ruining a nice pair

I imagine some day I'll have enough space for a period drawer with all the comfy stained panties too wear while having bad PMS and periods. Someday!

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Practical. I love it.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean I should hope both parties decided on it.

[–] thecoffeehobbit@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

It does rub me the wrong way too, implying men are in general not in control of their relationships and their opinion matters less.

[–] BryceBassitt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago

I pick my undies for me and no one else and I like em to match

[–] kamillz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago

I like my stuff to match, so it wouldn't be them deciding. Me getting into bed with all my friends tho, that might be a reason for me to want it to match

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I haven't owned a matching pair in years. Computer coordinating maybe but not matching.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

I want to see computer coordinated underwear.

[–] Dalacos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

My ex (from a 7yr long relationship) just wore whatever was most comfortable. Typically that meant they didn't match. Not even sure she actually had any matching undies now you mention it. She hated buying bras.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 days ago

I think that if they don't match then you just smear garbage juice on them until they do.
