Do you put your belt on clockwise (loop to right of fly first) or counterclockwise (loop to left of fly first)?

You people are sick twisted communist animals

Clockwise is the only way


It lets you use your strong hand to adjust the buckle while the less-precise left hand pulls the strap

Was not aware that adjusting a belt required fine motor skills.

This thread builds a good case that the US should have mandatory military service to get some of these mommy basement dwelling arfcommers to learn to dress properly

Now that's interesting.
Being right handed, I have always felt that my right hand is the precise one, while my left is the stronger one.

Also, clockwise if for women.

Depends on the direction you put on the belt and the incline of the treadmill.

My GF does it CCW, I commented that I thought women do it CW and she looked at me funny. Did a google search and really didn't find anything on men and women having opposite belt directions, but this thread makes me think I'm not alone that CW is generally a woman thing.

Yep. Buttons on shirts are reversed for women as well.

I switched to clockwise because belt buckles don't fit through the loops of my mag carrier (you all carry spare mags right?) and it's easier to put on / take off.

Right of fly is the women's direction
Just like their buttons on a shirt are opposite of men's shirts

That could be part of it, but female clothing buttons backwards because it's easier to dress someone else with the buttons facing that direction. Once upon a time, female royalty had people to dress them, and since most people are right handed, it's much easier when the buttons are sewn on the left side.

The military gave it some thought since they were very specific in boot camp on how to wear your belt. See my previous post on "Wave for a Day".
