  Also I wear a belt. Not going through all BS of undoing it when I can just whip that sucker out in 1 second.
context: I’m shocked that 50% of people said they use the fly. >
  
  So was I. Anecdotal obviously, but ask your close male friends and I bet you'll be surprised at the split >
  
  
  The "Fly"...is Totally Unnecessary  
  it's surprisingly split almost 50-50 between those who use the fly to snake their thing through to urinate and those that just flop it over the top.
  
  You just immediately showed that it's not unnecessary, that a portion of the customer base uses it (and it's not hindering those that choose not to use it)
  Personally, I go over the top if my pants are elastic but if I'm going through the fly of the pants, I go through the fly of the undies too >
  
  That's not what "necessary" means
  Just because a huge portion of the US population eats, IDK, ice cream and donuts, doesn't mean they are "necessary" 
  Just because a huge portion of the US population wears "Supreme" branded clothing that costs $250 for a shirt or whatever doesn't mean "Supreme" brand clothing is "necessary"
  You get the point. Necessary means "required to function" - a fly is certainly not "necessary" just because some people use it >

  Seems like the pants themselves aren't necessary. >
  
  I prefer to use the fly, but the decision point isn’t actually the underwear; it’s the pants.
  Dress pants/pants I’ve tucked the shirt I I use the zipper and fly to use the restroom without needing to fix my shirt tail. Casual pants depends on the stiffness of the material, some pants are harder to fish through the zipper in.  Pants with no fly like athletic clothing I flip over because there’s no point in flipping over the pants but going through the underwear fly. >
  
  I'm on team flop-over-top. >
  
  Team Rocket blasting off againnnnnn >
  
  I use the fly. I mean. That’s what it’s there for. However I also only unzip my pants to piss I don’t undo the button and belt and pull my pants all the way to the floor either so I suppose if you did that it would make more sense to go over the top >
  
  When I was in school a millennia ago we had a piss trough. Some of the boys would drop their pants to the floor; makes me wonder how many of them ended up in prison. >
  
  Flop over the top! I’ve never understood using the little hole thing. >
  
  ive heard people around me say that they sit as its easier and less messy. >
  
  The classic over-the-fence vs through-the-gate argument >
  
  I am also a fan of the "flop". Never failed me. >
  
  I stopped using that hole thing decades ago.. Over time it gets loose... Then one day in PE YOUR Peter flops out >
  
  Depends entirely on whether the pants have a zipper. If they do them it's fly time!
