Most likely a woman picking them out for me and wanting me to wear them.

Though honestly, as often as I pull my pants up even wearing a belt, I might pay that for a pair of jeans made for men without an ass so they wouldnt fall down.

Only if they look absolutely amazing.

In my experience, people generally only care about how my ass looks in the jeans, so brand/price doesn't really come into play.

I should have taken into account that not everyone is broke AF like me and raised the price to something ludicrous like $1,000.

The need for some extra crotch space so I don't crush my nads.

Because Levi's and Lee jeans are too damn tight in the crotch. And Wranglers are too low-cut to fit around my waist (meaning they force my nads into one pant leg or the other if I want the waist of the jeans to fit around my waist).

Brother-man, the only single article of clothing I'd possibly be willing to spend over $100 for is a fly jacket.
Everything else, I keep below $30.

Id actually have to think about it at that price, but yeah, if I really dont wanted them, Id get them I guess. Though I can have clothes custom made significantly cheaper than that, so it would have to be something pretty special.

I'd argue against this. I've bought some $30 Walmart jeans that got me the same amount of "Damn, girl," as more expensive jeans. The cut is the most important thing, period.

EDIT: And, to be fair, likewise, I've admittedly spent way too much on certain pairs of jeans that, ultimately, didn't impact anything. It's why I stopped worrying about brand or price.

Are they better made meaning that they last longer and be more comfortable than a $30 pair?

Terry Pratchett spelled it out nicely:

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

I think I bought dress slacks from Amazon for $15.

This is my point. It depends what you're going for. If you just want something comfortable, you can likely find something just as good at $15-20 as you can at $100+. If you want something that's going to get attention, the cut is all that matters, and, again, you can potentially find something cheap. It depends who you are and what you're looking for. There is no such thing as a "miracle jean."

I don't have a problem dropping ~100 dollars for a nice piece of clothing now and again. It's not something I regularly do, but hell, if they look nice and I know they'll last for a long time, why not?

I wasn't making an argument, I was saying that the only reason I'd pay $100 for jeans is if the cost of cheap jeans had gone up to $100 due to inflation or price gouging by companies.

The lowest available pair of jeans anywhere to purchase being $100 would be the only justification I can think of.

I could see myself buying a single hundred dollar pair of jeans on a whim if they're on sale, look amazing, girlfriend picked them out, or something like that. A special occasion.

To regularly buy jeans in the price range though? I'd need to be rich to even consider it.
