Finding the Perfect Pair of Jeans

I am convinced that finding the perfect jeans is harder than solving world hunger. I know that is a pretty extreme example, but this is a serious thing. Let me explain, I am convinced that 90% of the jeans out there are made for people with short legs, a larger mid section, and abnormaly large knees. I know this sounds odd, let's just say I dont have large knees or short legs so finding jeans that fit is a bit difficult. How do you find those perfect jeans that are tighter in the right places, and loose enough in others to hide what you arent particularly fond of. Let's say you are lucky enough to find a pair of jeans that fit okay, why are these ones always the ripped, bleached, or ugly wash jeans? Why do the mean jeans people think that everyone in my size loves to look like a homeless person? Maybe i am overly concerned about this because I havent ever been able to find jeans that fit just right, I have tried the boy cut, the high waters, the extra wide, everything except the skinny jeans (which make everyone look exceptionally obese). Brian can tell you I have quite a few jeans, most worn just a few times before being rejected because of one thing or another, this brings me to a recent event. I recently bought some new jeans, they arent the perfect jeans but they will do for now, they were the right color, the right material (not that spandex jeans hybrid), they werent too tight, they werent too expensive, they were a little too long (but seriously i will live with that), as I stood in line waiting to pay (and waiting for the salesgirl to call every store between St. George and Boise to find 2 pairs in the same size and color) I started to wonder where were these jeans when i was 16 and so self conscious that my pants never fit right? So here is my request for the jeans designers, please make jeans that fit normal people, stop making the ugly bleached ripped jeans in the normal size, save those for... no one.

You're funny. I am a person with the opposite physical problems that you have, yet I still can't find jeans that fit me. If they don't make jeans for tall, skinny people and they don't make them for shorter, rounder people, who are they making them for?
