It just does not make sense that his shirt rip and his shoes and socks rip but not his pants.

He always wore pants made from expandable Kryptonian polyester, from the Superman collection.

In a comic book world, you are already accepting that some rules of the natural world can be broken. In order to facilitate the story, the writers do not focus on details such as pants ripping properly and expect the reader to extend their suspension of belief to include the non ripping pants.
Had his pants ripped, issues about comic depictions of genitalia would greatly overshadow the main themes of the character.

The answer to that question I believe may be found in Issue #2 of the 2nd "She-Hulk" series.
She-Hulk meets up with a former super-heroine from the 40s and 50s. "Shulkie", as she is sometimes called is told that when a comic book character loses their title, they begin to age. As long as a character has a title, or appears in a book once in a while, they will stay young for the run of the book.
Later, She-Hulk gets into a fight with a loser character called "Stilt-Man". During the fight, She-Hulk's designer skirt suit gets torn to shreds, but her "chemise" as it is called, is completely untouched.
After the fight is over, the former super-herione pulls a tag from She-Hulk's shirt and shows it to her, and the readers. It says "Approved by the Comics Code Authority".
That means that no matter what happens, there is no chance of She-Hulk being completely nude during a fight.
The same goes for every other hero, including The Hulk. No matter what happens in a fight, or how gigantic he grows from anger, he will ALWAYS be clothed enough to satisfy the censors.

They did rip, actually. In the movie, when the Hulk bursts out of his little "hut" only to face the army, he has no pants and you can see his big green buttocks. And when he transforms back to Bruce, he still has no pants.

Because Bruce Banner wears those Dockers with the stretch waistband :)

This is something that I have often pondered. My conclusion is this: his pants can't come off. The reason: if they did, no one would find him scary. I mean, I'm sorry but if I saw a great big great guy who was naked, and I look up and see green hairy balls and a wee little shrunken penis, I'm going to laugh, not run in terror.

Spandex? I guess the animators didn't want his big green weenie hanging out when he was jumping 20 miles at a time.

Because if they did, the freakin' FCC, as said by Peter Griffin, would be all over the case of the creators.

Because he's smooth in the front, like a Ken doll.
