It is actually at its "correct speed" right now, but indeed it is often slow. Like there are waves of slowness

Re: Do People Notice?

Hello, Today I've encountered a case of someone spotting my kilt (that I've not worn at work since more than a month) that I would never have guessed if he hadn't told me. At work a colleague entered, my seat in the open space is quite isolated and my kilt not really visible (but not hidden either),...

Re: Stop Assuming Biological Male in Skirt = MIS (They're probably pre-op transwomen)

The men's section is so small and the colors are so drab and colorless I sometimes feel we don't live in the same planet. I was recently looking for new trousers in the mens section, this time I was looking for some drab ones (the few drab I still had before shopping at the time were going to pass ...

Re: Can men now get their legs out in the office?

I've read the article and what I get from it, is the advice "to limit eventual troubles with your company, don't deviate too much from the mass". Stevej180 and robehickman's comment don't reflect that. Did I miss something?

Re: Hello from Belgium

Hello,

Welcome to the forum! Cool to see that I'm not the only one in Belgium ! :-) Are you coming from Vlaanderen or from Wallonie?
I wish you to find a way that suits you, skirting included or not. Is your spouse aware about it, what does she think about it?

Re: Changing Skirts.....in a day

It depends on what you name "trousers", but to my own opinion the first option you propose is "not so true". Today, if I include the pijama that I'm wearing, I reach 4: the pijama for sleeping and spending time at home (for hygiene I would better avoir wearing the pijama during n...

Re: We're the majority!

In my small circle (almost exclusively male), I already have discussed about the skirt wearing with a lot of people. Three male friends, my brother and my father would never wear it (same for a kilt), one friend already wore a kilt to a party but not for a daily attire and would not wear skirt, anot...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

Probably similar than in Belgium/Brussels. Depending on where you go, you will either be almost ignored (shopping street is the best example of it), either a lot of people will peek a glance at you (some not too busy streets are the places with highest glances rate, approaching 100%). I'm now wearin...

Re: Software making hardware redundant rant!

I feel your frustration. This is never pleasant to encounter such a deception from something we used to trust, and suddenly it starts messing it up. This is one of the reasons why I prefer to stay away from applying updates whenever it is possible, if I don't have any valid reason to apply them. In ...

Re: Life hacks

I used to be weak against heat. But it has passed, since the autumn 2021 when I decided to increase my D vitamins by the most natural way: sun exposure. I started to practise my workouts under the sun so long that it was bearable, essentially in the early morning or in the evening, or when winter ca...

Re: Does anyone plan out their outfits?

Depends on the period I'm in. I have periods where I "plan" during the week-end or eventually at the end of the week what I'll wear next week, and other periods (like I'm in now) where I'm in goblin mode, doing no plan because I'm not willing to take any care of how I'm dressed, and puttin...

Re: What feminine items do you wear?

What saddens me even more, is that they're showing that "yes a man can wear these items" by showing... AI generated pictures. As if there was no real example around the world that they could show, implicitly saying that "hmmm well in fact, no, men can't"

Re: That rare male compliment

I could be a pessimist, but whenever someone can be in "sales mode" or willing to get something from me, I consider everything that is said to not be compliment.

The phrasing certainly made me think so too. I think that jamie001 disagreed with what you said although it was not what you meant. :)

Re: Getting past fears of being perceived as gay, trans, etc.

Actually we can't avoid being mislabelled for what we wear. We can just try reducing how many people mislabel us by adorning masculine traits. The rest, happens in people's minds. Does it matter? Depends on the situation. In LGBT hostile regions, wrong label may lead to reputation/physical risks, bu...
