Re: Winter men's fashion 2025 trends in Paris
I think the designers for the mens collections have a really hard time in coming up with something interesting and new that is inside the man box. That's likely because the last interesting stuff "left the 'man box'" about the same time as when Elvis "left the building". Yes, it...

Re: Men's fear of skirts
Carl i've no wish to argue but I really dont see the wows of men to be in any way the fault of women. They have their faults, so do men and we are in this together. It's not an argument at all, so no worries! Men's woes are not directly the "fault of women" but rather of the complex dynam...

Re: Men's fear of skirts
Many of the men here are no longer dating becuase we've left it to the younger age group or married etc, but the desire to attract a mate is strong and most guys (me included) didn't want to jeapodise our chances. Indeed my reasoning on that count is unusual and very personal, but I very deliberate...

Re: very short shorts
I think you have to define what a zero length seam is. If it is nothing, then there is no crotch and therefore no bifurcation in the garment, therefore the garment is a skirt. I rest my case. :) :) :) :) :thewave: Methinks we're getting dangerously close to contemplating an infinitesimal here, and ...

Re: HVAC question…
I replaced it with both a new wheel and new replacement motor - it's actually... worse at the highest speed. At the lower speed it's OK. For now I configured the replacement motor and wheel to the slightly lower speed for heat, but I'm feeling majorly defeated at the moment. Not sure where to go fr...

Re: Men's fear of skirts
1. He says that women are the gate keepers of sex. There's no surprise here. This was never an issue for me as I came to the conclusion -- before puberty -- that I would never sire progeny as I'd glimpsed what the future would likely hold -- and I was not wrong in that. Thus, that matter was never ...

Re: Men's fear of skirts
I know in my own life that what kept me from displaying feminine characteristics was the heavy 1960s christian message against being gay, which still comes from part of my family. This collided inside my brain with my love of women and the things they wear. Calling somebody homosexual in so-called ...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway
They are still doing the typical ManBox crap! When will it stop? Give it up. It's not going to change or get better in our lifetimes. We lost that battle in the 1970s and it was officially buried low in the 1980s. We can try to soldier on one-by-one, but that's going to get dangerous in some places...

Re: HVAC question…
The motor looks to be fine but I’ll take a closer look. I think I can run it with the impeller off - though I don’t know if the motor can be run safely with no load? Most household motors are synchronous AC types and can be safely run with no load. Trainspotter48 brings up a good point about series...

Re: HVAC question…
Clearly something is out of balance with the blower assembly, and the easiest way to test that in the field will be to simply remove the impeller, spin the motor up and see if the motor vibrates when unloaded. If it does, the motor is out of balance somehow; if not, then the issue in entirely likely...

Re: Necklace as... neck tie?
I routinely wear a simple quartz crystal on a fine gold chain around my neck. It's nowhere near as constricting as a neck-tie and suits my personality quite well. It gets comments, too. I've worn such adornments for years varying between overt statements of occupation (an early 1960s disk-drive head...

Re: Imgur stopping photos from displaying in the UK
The actual reason is of the UK governments own making, with its online safety bill to protect children. part of this, is that systems have to have age verification as part of the sign on to use the systems which Imgur apparently doesn't have and so is being fined by the UK government. In response I...
