Well then, you have been out in public! Or did you just drive around and never get out of the car?mishawakaskirt wrote:You mentioning driving in a skirt, I have done that also, for several 70 mile trips and a bunch trips around town even some short as two or three miles ( yea, I' ve got it bad)
sometimes I feel like Clark Kent, however we can all be glad we don't need a phone booth to change in. I did see a pay phone, the only one I think I have seen in ten years, last year at White water state park, down east of INDY. Didn't check to see if it worked, wow, blast from the past.
Well then, keep working on it until you're ready to be seen. I'm sure you'll eventually find that the problems are almost entirely your own fear and trepidation and not the perception of others.mishawakaskirt wrote:...I'm not quite ready for the whole world to see this man in a skirt...
That won't happen; even on a busy street; chances are many fewer people will notice that you are a man in a skirt than you expect. If you are just walking or doing other normal things, and wearing a fairly plain skirt, people's peripheral vision will often identify that as "a guy in shorts". I've had conversations with strangers, and after a while I mention something about the skirt, and the person (or people) look down and say "Oh! I didn't even notice!"mishawakaskirt wrote:II'm not quite ready for the whole world to see this man in a skirt...

I have a pond, and it has a small beach, so sure, come see me in MN.mishawakaskirt wrote:The thing I want to try the most, is wear a skirt to the beach. And do it all, feel the hot sun and sand, the breeze, go swimming in my skirt, and then walk around in it until it dries out.
Any one got a private beach? I can borrow
I'm not quite ready for the whole world to see this man in a skirt.
I'm currently reading a book, (Skeptic by Michael Shermer, which is a collection of his essays from Scientific American. One essay is about perceptual-blindness and recounts an experiment where a film was shown to subjects and they were asked if they noticed the man in the gorilla suit that walked through the scene in the film. 50% did not.skirtingtheissue wrote: I've had conversations with strangers, and after a while I mention something about the skirt, and the person (or people) look down and say "Oh!

A friend of mine is a policeman working in traffic. He once commented to me that after taking a few witness statements after road accidents he now seriously questions anything presented as historical fact.Sinned wrote:Reduced my faith in eye witness testimony, I can tell you.
Sinned wrote:Yeah I remember that one. I did see the gorilla but only because I was concentrating hard for something unusual. There have been lots of other experiments where the presenters on a show have changed colour tops after a cutaway or the backdrop has been changed and people haven't noticed. Reduced my faith in eye witness testimony, I can tell you.
