Not just lurking

[NH Dan]

Quite a lot of new topics as of late that are very interesting. It really is a shame that we are all soo far apart as it would be great to sit around and discuss whatever and not have to do as much typing or going back to the article to make sure that no topic was missed. I suffer from a lack of concentration, the main reason that I don't respond more, but do enjoy reading everyones thoughts.

Hi Dan

Great to 'read' you again

I, too, mainly 'lurk' and contribute when I feel the need to do so.
I'm a Mod, and take this function seriously, but i haven't (thank goodness)
had to 'step-on' any threads lately as 'getting out of hand' .

Please consider contributing as many of our new members need to hear
from 'us ol' fogies' as to how we accomplished our skirt/kilt wearing
in private and in public.

Have a marvelous day

If you ever visit Arizona let me know, and that goes for everyone.

Hi Dan,
Yes, some of us are many miles apart, although I have already attended a get together of 4 of us in Edinburgh.

But I suspect there are many more of us (skirt wearers ) than contribute to this forum - I think we just need to get out there skirted to find them.

Dan, if you are ever in Southern NH during warmer weather, give me a holler!

[nhcat]

I am in Southern NH and would be interested in joining in if there is any sort of get together. I'm also guilty of "Lurking" with little actually posting activity, but I do enjoy the site.

Having traveled abroad three times in 2014, I hope to travel to a few western states this summer, via highway. I've had enough of the misery of air travel for a while, though I may do a one way car rental and fly home. Portland, OR, would be my ultimate goal though via some of the southwestern states. I will keep everyone apprised.

Contemplate rail travel. It's leisurely, it's remarkably civilized, and there's none of the security theatre to torque one off nor the threat of injury due to low-pressure aircraft cabins.

A couple of years ago I was in Nevada for a few days (part of a longer trip to SF) - next door to AZ so to speak. Not skirted though as MOH is very much against it

It might have helpd my cause if we had met up "accidentally".

On three separate occasions I've been out with my wife, spotted another guy wearing a skirt or kilt, and pointed it out other. But she just says, "I don't like it on him either," and that's the end of it.

But who knows, everyone's different.

D'ya know that I think that your missus and mine would actually get on because I can just imagine MOH saying exactly the same thing. In fact when I wear trousers she makes a deliberate point in saying how good my trousers look on me. Water off a duck's back to me.

[Caultron]

Persistence and gentle pressure have been the key for me. We're at the point where she has no problem (or perhaps very little) with me going skirted anywhere; she just doesn't want to be seen with me.

People we both know have seen me skirted many times, and I'm sure they've talked to my wife about it, and that's never created a problem. I think the not-being-seen-with-me thing is just a line in the sand she's drawn -- something that gives her some sense of control over something she doesn't really like.

MOH has never directly asked if I have worn a skirt outside of the house - she must know in her heart that I have but it's as if she has just buried her head in the sand, metaphorically speaking. Relations between us are improving all the time and I'm trying to nurture that. I feel that she is more accepting even if she still doesn't approve. I'm hoping that the acceptance will soon get to the stage of accompanying me out with me skirted. I want to nurture the idea of an "experiment in pubic reaction" during a shopping trip. No doubt when it happens she will be sensitive to any slight look or comment. I think that that will be a defining moment in our relationship. But yes, constancy and persistence are the tactic now. I look back on how far I've come and realise that I have been involved with skirts for about 2 1/2 years now. I think that I've shown that it's not just a short-term fad.

I think that I too have also worn my wife down to the knowledge that skirts are here to stay. She too will not be seen out with me when I'm wearing a skirt but her attitude appeared to take a dramatic change when one of her friends visited unexpectedly and saw me in a skirt. She was very positive and liked the skirt. I think that the two of them must have had a conversation of some sort about it in private to bring about such a sudden change in my wife's attitude.

I think that just as we often have some misgivings of what other people think of us when we are out in public our wife's have the same feelings in that what will people think of them to see them with a man wearing a skirt and no matter what we say or do the change has to come about from within themselves.

Spot on.
