According to Eva Mendes

"Sweatpants? No no no. You can't do sweatpants. Ladies, the number one cause of divorce in America is sweatpants."

This seems to have caused quite the kerfuffle on the interwebs, with many sites/blogs/commenters decrying this affront to a women's sartorial freedom in the comfort of her home:

What say you neogaf? do sweatpants end relationships in your experience? is the era of elastic waists and hems at an end?

What would feminist Ryan Gosling think?

Pretty sure Eva is joking and talking about the frumpy and unfeminine sweatpants look that some women adopt after marriage and children.

I haven't' seen baggy sweatpants in ages. Its all about Lululemon yoga pants.

There's not really anything wrong with sweatpants, I mean I don't really think you should be going out to restaurants or anything in them but for just lounging around the house or whatever who cares.

Wait. Does she mean she won't let him wear sweatpants? Or she won't wear them in order to keep him interested? Because, I mean, I've got no problem with a girl lounging around in sweatpants.

If sweatpants are being used to generalize the marriages where the wife doesn't attempt to look attractive for their partner anymore, and is letting themselves go... Well I think it'd still be wrong. There are many more common reasons for a marriage to fail. But I get what she's saying.

I think it's because of the fat unkempt people wearing the sweatpants. I don't think anyone would complain over hot models wearing sweatpants.

I am comfortable with women wearing sweatpants. Faster to undress. Lets not waste time, baby.

Eeeeh let's be honest, when sweatpants are being worn sex is not really in the picture. In my experience escalating on a sweatpants wearer leads to "I feel gross/tired/hungry" rejections.

Yoga pants /= sweatpants, of course.

This is the stereotypical sweatpants look Eva is talking about.

Here's my girl, Britney, rocking some.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. If we're just hanging out at home I fully expect both of us to be in sweats and loving life.

bitch I'm taking calls.
That Adventure Time image really sums it up. If you're wearing sweatpants outside of your home you must have given up. Respect thyself.

My wife wears tight clothes almost exclusively. Jeans, sweats, yoga pants, etc.

I'm currently sporting sweat pants. Medium-high fashion ones.

It depends on your definition of sweatpants. When I hear that word I think of something George Costanza wore. Those are a no-go unless you pair them with a fanny pack. If we are talking about gym pants or soccer style pants that's different.

she's obviously talking about the baggy joints you see the walmart set wearing.


also i had no idea her and Gosling were a thing. always figured she was still single.

I was furious when I saw the week after I paid $110 for a pair of sweats they dropped the price to $50.

It wasn't the money I'd lost, but the prestige.

A jokey comment taken too seriously, but still technically representative of a real issue. The concept that a wife needs to prioritize attractiveness above anything else is scummy and still prevalent - but this might not be the right moment to try and make a point about it.

Like the only funny part of the movie Extract is the main character lamenting that once his wife puts her sweatpants on, he's closed off from sex for the evening.

I really only wear track pants to the gym, I never wear sweatpants any more.
