2011-04-01T16:29:43.246-04:00

Not the sexy, feminine creature that I imagined myself to look like. But a hawked nose, skinny leg, no waist, no hip, no butt man in a skirt. What I felt though, was an incredible rush as the
first breeze blew up my short black skirt and caressed my freshly shaved inner.........sorry.
It wasn't just the breeze. It wasn't just the eroticism of doing something taboo, although it
certainly felt erotic. I may not have looked "feminine", but that's how I felt, and it felt really,
really, really, really, ................really, good. And no, I don't dream of competing with women for their femininity. If what I felt was a tenth of how women feel, then no wonder they want to be stingy b's and keep it for themselves. And that is the general consensus amongst the very
few women I've talked with on the subject of "men in skirts". They feel that men should stay with pants. "You're a man, dress like it!!" I came of age working in the construction industry. All the crude, rude, mean things people say about gays, cd's, lesbians....
I've said them. And I'm sorry for it. When I was younger, things seemed to be more black and white. Now that I'm older, things have taken on a more "grey around the edges"look and feel. Having said that, the reality is, that if I were to start dressing "enfemme" in public,and I think I speak for most people that would try to, my life would change for the worse
immediately. The construction "type" people I've always associated with would shun me.
My daughter, who has also seen "the fem" of me, says I'm a freak and would probably never let me see my grandchildren again. That's a pain I don't think I could bear.
I ran across this post, or thread, while looking for other “signs of life”. Part of me feels like I’m cheating on my wife by doing so, even though what I’m looking for has nothing to do with sex. And if anyone does read this, thank you for your time.

I don't believe for a minute that 50% of the men in the world wear skirts. I also don't believe that it was a simple change in fashion that led to the demise of men in skirts. Think prehistoric, man. You kill a bear. It's summer. You
skin it and hang it's hide to dry, all the while fighting off other predators and scavengers,defending your kill, your meat........You cut the dried leather with a stone knife into the shape of what, a coat? It's summertime, remember?
You probably don't have a whole lot of time for poking holes in the leather with a sharpened bone either, to sew a really cool pair of trousers, so.......
you cut a couple of squares and bind them around your waist with strips of leather. Not just to keep the dirt off your butt when you sat down, but also for protection. Then someone, probably some smartaleck teenager, decided to cut one in the shape of....... let's call it a wrap. It wraps around the waist, or hips, and drapes down to where? Mid thigh, maybe? Neo man was probably up and down as many times an hour as most of us are in a week, so a midi is unlikely. A maxi would be out of the question. Anyway, teenage neo boy who defied daddy and cut the
leather "his own way" had a girlfriend. Girlfriend sees the "wrap" and "really, really, really, really..........really, likes it and makes neo boy give it to her. And as the weather gets cooler the next change of season she sews the side of it up with some leather strips that got stained a strange color when her youngest sister got eaten by that .......sorry. Anyway, the mini skirt is born (thank God).
That same fall, on a cold rainy day, neo boys Daddy makes him go out of the cave and gather some more wood to be drying for the fire. So he grabs a whole pelt
off the floor and sticks his head through a hole in the middle of it to wear out in the rain.It drapes down his back and front and keeps him fairly dry and warm.
He meets up with neo girlfriend, she sees what he has on, and, she really, really, really, really..............really, likes it and makes neo boy give it to her. She sewed the sides up to help stay warm, it’s late fall, remember? She used blood stained leather strips to sew with, and the dress is born. But this time neo boy gets his butt kicked for
giving away a whole dried pelt. Over time, neo boy discovers different foods he could
cultivate, and store, and even trade for other things (the first capitalist).He was no longer a hunter. He was out in the open more and needed clothes
that would protect him from the elements in a different way than a wrap could. So he took one of his longer wraps, split it front and back, sewed the two cuts to themselves, and leggins' were born. And hence, once neo girl had her way with him, I mean them, we got "Daisy Dukes" (thank God).
Over time it just became the norm for men to wear shorts and pants. Women kept the skirts. And the shorts. And the pants.
I've seen very few men wearing a skirt or dress in public, and unfortunately, didn't meet any of them. And the exposure of it on TV is mostly, and once more,
unfortunately, of a homosexual, and or fetish nature. I'ts in people’s nature, after all,
to pull up your tiny little skirt to look for dirt, and depending on your peer structure,to manufacture some. Some of the men I've seen (on TV) that were dressed were
beautiful beings that I would not have known were men. Same for some of the women.They looked, talked, and acted like men. I have seen myself in a mirror, in a skirt.
Got a picture of it to scare the grandkids with. What I see is a man in a skirt.................

2011-02-12T17:02:03.270-05:00

@ anon of Feb 2, 3.08hr: indeed psychiatrist entertauined the dictrine that if someone would wear garments of the other gender, there would be a form of deviant behaviour. Such was based on an edict of a roman emporor, incorporated into Church law in the 4th century AD (in the 6th century in the Koran and is known now as Sharia) and by the end of the 19th century incorporated into psychiatry - see Psycholy and Religious Truth by T.H. Hughes - and so has become a part of our social reference.
By ther end of the 19th century women who would wear trousers would be considered hysteric, by 1960 such would be comon even so more after the flower power era during which men wore heels without problems....
Double standard?

Men who hate other men wearing skirts want skirts ...

2011-02-02T15:08:00.105-05:00

Men who hate other men wearing skirts want skirts saved as a female only thing because that way they have assurance that anytime they see person in a skirt, they'll know there's something under the fabric that could be penetrated---allowing these men to experience the initial stage of sexual excitement; when they see skirt on man, this ruins their excitement! Women who hate men in skirts have power as their motive--"Only we can wear skirts but men are restricted to one style!" So called "mental health professionals" are HIT MEN for anti-skirt men and style selfish women, and stand ready to slander men in skirts as "transvestites" or "cross-dressers," which is what they previously called WOMEN in PANTS!

2011-01-19T04:52:06.959-05:00

@alby, you mentioned the reasons why ot would be wiser for men to wear skirts. As to points 1 and 2, is there any scientific prove thereof? I've been trying to find such but no such luck. I do know the arguments are used by oncologists for asian spices hardly used in western dishes.
Anyone else who can solve this ridle?

2010-12-28T20:37:16.170-05:00

I am a dude wearing skirted garments because of comfort. Pants just un-natural for men I found out, since then I changed. People looking at me, never a bad comment or harassment, just very nice smiling or compliment. During cold season wearing it with pantyhose or leggings, no problem. Just fine.

2010-12-11T13:08:53.513-05:00

Got it, and you're right, Alby.
I am just wondering that so little people thinking about that today, all is stucked in what we call fashion. But fashion should follow the same way we say form follows function, missing common sense when I think about what men wearing today. Uniformed guy's and not expressing their individuality, just stereotype.
Jump off the bridge - yes, but do it - as fast as possible, time in our age is running fast.
Try to understand the male bodies, and you'll never see a problem that men have to wear skirted garments.

2010-12-08T11:29:02.139-05:00

Do you really know why men want wear skirted garments? Just read - but there is much more to add:
I just can't understand that men always find excuses for that what they want to do.
In short: Tehy don't have to find any excuse except for the reason staying healthy. A skirt for every men is recommended because:
1. decrease the risk of prostate cancer
2. decrease the risk of testicle cancer
3. more air is flowing through the lower part of the body which helps:
a. keep legs airy and the reproduction organs in cooler temperature, therefor men do not need any additional supplements for sexual life, and in fall/winter/spring time legs absorbe more sunlight giving the body more Vitamin A
4. Skirted garments provide much more comfort for the male body than any kind of pants.
Sorry, I couldn't find any reason(s) against skirted garments in case of health for men except old thinking barriers. Do you can find any?

2010-04-15T21:18:32.005-04:00

I am wearing skirts every day. Period. Nobody ever said anything negative, maybe because I am a man. Long time ago I told (I did not ask) my "boss" that I will wear skirts and kilts in future, also during work, of course. And - what do you think was the result? I still wear skirts.

2010-03-12T20:24:53.650-05:00

All what people talking about what men might be wearing in future. Skirts? Okay with me. Dresses? Why not? What difference does it make? Men are men, whatever they might be wearing. It doesn't change anything.
So, everybody should decide what he like and prefer. Skirts usually looking very good on men, let give them a try.

2010-02-27T21:30:05.105-05:00

I just say YES for men's new fashion way - go skirted. Great development for men.

2010-02-14T18:05:52.093-05:00

There is nothing wrong with guys in skirts and dresses. There is a symbiotic relationship between male body and unbifurcated garments because of the male-body shape.
If you wearing already skirts and dresses at home, just go out in public with that, and that is the only thing what's wrong: Men do not dress what they want, they try to hide. But why and for what?

That is the only way to express yourself, you MUST go out skirted or using men's dresses. It has nothing to do with crossdressing or what some people might think.

2010-02-14T05:19:23.981-05:00

I don't understand what is wrong with guys wearing skirts or dresses. They are very comfortable, and just like with women, they can be sexy! I am a straight man, but I enjoy wearing skirts and dresses, but of course I can't wear them outside of my house due to other people not being accepting! My wife doesn't have a problem with it, in fact she encourages me to wear these items around the house, because she finds it sexy! Several years ago, if a man didn't have much chest hair he was made fun of, now men regularly shave their chest hair, and much other body hair, so I guess this is the next progressive metrosexual thing!

2010-02-14T05:09:32.682-05:00

First, let me say that I am a 32 year old straight man. I personally find it very comfortable and somewhat sexy to wear skirts and dresses. I have also met a couple of women who thought it was pretty hot when I "dressed up" for them. I don't understand why it is such a big deal for guys to wear "revealing" clothing. If the girls like to see guys in it, and the guy likes wearing it, what's wrong with it? I guess society just isn't ready to accept "metrosexuals"! 20 years ago, it was so wrong for guys to rid themselves of body hair, such as chest hair, but that's totally acceptable now, so what's the difference? Why can't a guy be straight and wear a skirt or dress?

2010-02-07T20:09:54.117-05:00

I don't care what other people think about, I like "my" man in a skirt. It is more than manly when he wears it, he has not to go off somewhere that he's manly. [I don't like this word anyway, because the standards are too different to judge that]. My man protects, helps, support -and most important- loves me in his skirts, with pantyhose and nice underwear. I love him, I only judge the person, not his clothes even I like that, too.

2010-01-22T20:13:16.598-05:00

For sure, pants doen't make a man manly, because pants are an unisex garment now.
I would say that a man is manly when he can be brave and couraged doing things what we do not expect from him. And that could be very different.
Yes, I think a man in a skirt, confident in wearing it, is a manly man.
I think that men should just jump (jump over the bridge) over there boundary with their super-boring pant-wardrobe, going new ways, un-common at the time.

2010-01-15T20:11:11.272-05:00

What is manly? What people think about manly men? Nobody knows it because it changes -everytime-.
I see a manly men as when he can do what a man should do - showing his strength and personality, and he can do that best in that kind of clothes he like. Skirts, yes, pants maybe. What is the difference?
All men in westernized societies wearing pants, so these men showing not their strength nor personality, they are running just everybody does, a uniformed puppet on invisible string.
Men are manly when they do what other don't do because they are afraid of.......

I just have to be a part of this thread, and part of history.

I'll be interested to see what happens with skirts! aren't! masculine! as the world grows smaller. Obviously globalisation has seen a massive spreading of white culture, but as that shifts, standards and valuation of masculinities will too.

2009-12-21T17:31:51.491-05:00

Correction, according to the medical research, male sexual organs have to be kept in temperature 2 to 4 Celsius lower than body. It's impossible to achieve that in trousers. Also, as many men said previously, skirts are much more comfortable for men, and are historical men's garment. So I think it's time to restore tradition of men's skirts.

2009-09-06T22:43:00.691-04:00

What is a "regular" skirt? I think all skirts are regular. maybe skirts for men? I think that is a question about taste.
So, most of the skirts right now men have to buy in women's departments just because of lack that men's department don't carry skirts.
Or men have to buy it online. Those skirts are handmade, don't make a mistake and send wrong measurments. If you'll finally receive your skirt you will be satisfied, they are great.

Count me in as a man that loves skirts. I would be more bold if I could a fford a cool kilt but the company that once made affordable everyday kilts stopped making the plain ones and what they do have is no longer affordable (for me at least). Living in Middle TN U.S. makes it a bit difficult to be accept by the general public in just a regular skirt.

2009-08-27T21:25:07.541-04:00

In my humbled opinion I just can say that some people have a problem with 'real' men and men. As I learned in science men have their reproduction organs out of the body. Think about how pants cold hurt them.
So, what makes a men? Pants? Oh my gosh, 90% of women wearing pants. What makes a women? Skirts? Well then we have just 10% we could discuss. Sex of a body does not start with the clothing, it might be for some people of course, so were are the border line?
Who tells you what your body likes, what feels comfortable? Just your own body, but most people forget to listen to him, doing something but not what the body needs. For that we have enough illness and diseases.

I am tired to talk about history, but sometimes we have to remind ourselves that the skirt originally is a male garment. So what? Shall we do this with pants to? Pants were worn hstorically first by women - under long dresses in Asia. O, o, what did we do? It seems to me that our ancestors knew more abut body, comfort and health than we do?!!

2009-08-25T21:02:58.703-04:00

Danny, even when pants wouldn't too tight you'll have the body temp but for sure never 1 degree cooler. Impossible! Arabs know that and all men in Africa too, but they getting more westernized or better pantinized (a new word for the dictionary).

By the way, our male ancestors knew that and wore only skirts.
We are heading to the same point, I guess
