Well I've been told I don't need to wear pantyhose I have great legs and dont' cover them up. But honey when it's cold out side I where them. Oh at because I hate to feel closed in. So I do wear the garter belts and straps.

But I really think Men should wear them they won't last a day with them.

>>I always thought that it was stockings that men preferred...thigh highs, garter belts, etc. That's the feedback I've gotten from my male friends, as well as the impression I've gotten in general. Is this stereotype wrong?

No, no, those are great, too--when you can see the difference. But the average woman on the street, you can't tell if she's wearing pantyhose or stockings. Unless a sudden gust of wind comes up

I honestly believe it's an age/culture thing.

I notice men AND women that are quite a bit older than me consider pumps attractive. But I think they're dated and not that flattering. To me, they died with business women wearing houndstooth jackets with shoulder pads.


you, my good man need to buy more Cosmopolitan.


Like I said. Age and culture. Some things just get "stuck" and don't need updating to be found attractive to that person. What I want to know is, who's to blame for Ugg boots?? I don't think I ever heard a guy say "Damn that girl with the fuzzy moccasins is sexy!"

But somewhere, some time in the future, there will be someone saying "Why don't women wear those boots anymore?"


Also, I had a collection of eggs that I took from my mom when I was a kid. Those things were awesome to keep stuff in.

I'm surprised at how many women find panty hose uncomfortable. In the summer? Sure! I definitely don't wear them to work, or out, then. But they're great in the winter. If all my underlayer pants are in the wash, I'll even put them on to go run in the winer. They're very, very warm.

But reading ubkobalt...I think some people might be putting them in the same class as granny panties. lol....I had no clue.

I love the finished, polished look hoisery gives, so I wear them unless it's the dog days of Summer. I did have a problem finding pantyhose that were long enough in the leg and they'd slip and chafe, but I don't find them uncomfortable if they fit properly.

Pantyhose are uncomfortable, not to mention if you get the tiniest snag in them you end up with a HUGE run and then they look awful!

Because when we weren't looking someone told them it was okay not to wear them that they didn't have to be treated like sex objects. We have to stay on guard because the next thing you know they are going to demand the right to vote or some other scary stuff!

They don't wear pantyhose for the same reason we as men can now dress as absolute slobs and go to work. As a society things are a changing.

They usually end up in pieces before i can get them all the way on. This makes it that much more expensive for me. Also, I look horrid in just about anything that they'd be worn with. I also extremely dislike having to weasel them up every time I go to the ladies room. My legs are just not the type that are designed for being shown off. Besides, I wore them enough in my orchestra performing days - in the freezing cold at that.

My work allows me for the most part to dress casual and comfy-in the summer I go bare legged when wearing skirts out and about town.

The only time I wear hose are when I'm doing a public seminar or other event where it's expected for me to look dressed and professional...or if I meet a guy that "deserves" for me to suffer the dreaded hose or thigh highs for a "special date" ...so far in the last 6 yrs only 2 men have qualified

You wear them for hours on end- especailly in the summertime and see how you feel after.....

I don't like them at all- but will wear tem if neccesary-- or for Ahem special occasions...

Thought I was caught in a time warp for a second, had to check the calendar. Nope, it is indeed 2007 and guess what guys..most girls don't dress for you anymore. We don't need to wear uncomfortable hose and 6 inch heels so we can "snag" a guy. Those of us who do still love to wear hose (and I am not one of them..chalk it up to so cal weather) mostly do it for themselves.

I am sorry that you are having to suffer the loss of something you found sexy. (ok, not that sorry), Personally I think guys in kilts are sexy as all get out but I too am left to needlessly suffer looking at men in poorly tailored suits. At least I would be more than willing to wear a kilt too......

It's an idea whose time came and went...now the trend is more to tights but those are only in the winter....why because they are warm....I live in florida...too hot and uncomfy for panty hose....besides why hide my legs....bare legs are acceptable now in the workplace...and if you have a tan or fake tan they look just fine...

some women can wear the stockings and garters or the thigh highs...i prefer bare

Panty hose ewww

Have you ever tried wearing that stuff all day? The crotch is around your knees by noon...your stride gets smaller...start doing the geisha shuffle.

Going to the bathroom is a pain...takes 10 minutes to rearrange the outfit before you can take a leak...nevermind putting it all back together.

Knee highs, thigh highs...ooh especially the ones with the lace!!! yeah all about that!!!

Not from my perspective...Let Joe Namath keep the pantyhose all to himself

I spent $15 dollars to wear pantyhose the other night...

Found an old pair, put them on and they caught on my nail and they were gone.

Ran out and bought a couple of pairs on the way... another one ripped while I was pulling them on and the last pair was dead by the end of the evening.

For me, they're one use only. I don't mind wearing them once in a while in the winter, but in the summer, I like to let my legs breathe!

cus they are cold in the winter, hot in the summer, run too easy, fit lousy and itch. if you really wonder... try on a pair sometime, you'll get it.
imho pantyhose were invented by the marquis de sade!

I really think it depends on the outfit. nothing is cuter than a babydoll dress or jumper with a thick pair of tights and some maryjanes or high boots. but ugh, otherwise? ..NOOOOO THANKS. i wear them when i perform in plays/musicals all the time, and let me tell you...the hottest most restraining things ever.

Being a leg man you can't beat the feel of nylon on a woman's legs and if it goes higher all the better.

I have to draw the line when they reach up to the underarms....no bra...just pantyhose holding everything up....

That's called a body stocking and if you can get woman to wear one of those for you more power to you!
