Pant rise discussion

I’ll make this short but have a question regarding pant rise as it’s surprising to my gf that I can’t just “feel” where a pair of pants is suppose to sit.

It makes sense to me that regardless of rise, manufacturers would want rear/side pockets to sit in relatively the same position for ease of use. This would mean that the “rise” would be in added material above the pockets, no? And then the rest of the plant shape would help the pants naturally sit where they’re intended.

Basically, I haven’t found a single pair of pants that naturally sits at my actual waist or slightly below my belly button. I can pull them up of course but they don’t stay there regardless of a belt (unless I crank it down uncomfortably tight). I do, honestly, find this quite uncomfortable but I also don’t know if I’ve tried/bought true higher rise pants so I’m not sure if that’s even a fair comfort-check.

Thoughts/feedback?
