Do you fasten then zip, or zip then fasten?

I had to go try on some pants to figure this out...

I was going to try it, and then remembered I was wearing button-flys...

You wanna talk socks?

Button, button, button, button...

well actually, I do either with about equal frequency.

Interestingly enough, I only zip, I leave it unbuttoned most of the time, more comfortable. (unless I'm in nice clothes or somthing in which case I fasten then zip).

I'm scared. Glen zip's his socks

I don't wear pants. But when i do, i wear spandex.

button flys first though

It's impractical to zip then fasten.

You just can't ZIP without fastening first! I personally prefer Levi's 501s - button-fly.

I Velcro and then apply adhesive.

Button Fly, bottom up.

zip the fasten. No problem to do it...

Pants, fasten then zip. Skirts, it depends on the style of skirt. Dresses, usually zip then fasten. Especially if they zip up the back.

Some of each, but more often the former.

Fasten then zip. This way, they don't fall off while waiting for the zip.

reality: Actually I zip then fasten because it seems much easier to me! Why put that button in the way when you're trying to zip? You pull on the pants, zip up, then when the zip is done fasten the button. If I fasten the button first the zipper part bulges out (because my waist is 'indented', being female) making it harder. Maybe it's a male-female thing?

fasten then zip.. it seems to be the obvious choice.. it makes zipping much easier.
*lisashea: check the stats, you are in the minority either way, fewer people do it your way, and many fewer females. weird.. I am a conformist... eeeek but, yeah, the zipper bulges, but if the pants are at all tight, you have a better chance of zipping if the button is done first.. (or so it seems to me). I think males and females have a different definition of waist.

If you mean blue jeans, then all mine are button fly.

Zip, then fasten.

I know this is from a long time ago, but I wonder if the survey creator had been watching season one of Babylon 5. What's this from, Voice in the Wilderness?

I button. I hate zippers. The damned things are always breaking.
