Hello from Rockwall, TX

I am a 58 year old man who lives in a town about 32 km (20 miles) ENE of Dallas, Texas USA.
I started my skirting by converting 3 jeans into denim skirts, and then I had the audacity to wear them publicly to the objections of my wife. Then I bought 5 knee-length denim skirts that I wear except when I go to church and certain other occasions. The store-bought skirts are not nearly as noticeable as the home-made conversions.
I get virtually no push-back from the general public when I go to stores wearing the store bought skirts. Unfortunately there are some individuals at my church who objected when I came to choir practice wearing denim skirts.
There is the obvious comfort factor of not having a wedge of cloth rubbing against one's testicles. There is also an overlooked factor of modesty for men wearing skirts instead of pants as follows:
If one looks at the crotches of men wearing pants he can see the outlines of the testicles. We are used to that of course but I think that should be an argument in favor of men wearing skirts.
I go a little bit farther and shave my legs and paint my toenails. I frequently wear sandals with 7 cm (2 3/4 inch) wedge heels.
When the weather gets cooler I will buy longer skirts and pantyhose.
