Hey guys, theres an artical in the Huffington Post about what men would do and wear if they weren't worried about being seen as feminine.

Are you able to post a link to the article please?

Ha, first time I've posted a link. Will wonders never cease.

Shoot! I do a lot of that myself and I am a straight guy. I get pedis with nail polish, wear skirts and dresses, use feminine scents, and I have even used make up as well. I am a man and will continue to be a man, but doing things I like in spite of what the rest of the crazy world thinks.

I scored seven out of 16, leading off with "drape myself in velvet". I don't exactly get the lasers for the backside, but maybe that's just me (although I enjoy LASERs for other things ), and "yoga pants" are a "No!" for 90+% of the population. Quilting I can support, mainly because I'm a bit of an artistic one, though mainly with music and technology (which are closer than one might suspect). I cry frequently when the need arises, both from happiness and sadness -- and sometimes for beauty or a remembrance of a memory from long ago. I prefer cuddling to sex. And I prefer skirts to trousers. Cute is cute, no matter what it's packaging -- and is worthy in its own right.

Yet, with all of the above, I am entirely, completely, and wholly a regular old bloke. I don't need labels to define me because I am not afraid to heed my own inner self. I have every reason to believe I'm a throwback to a time where men were allowed these things and were not reviled for them. It's time to take manhood back and regain our fundamental rights as human beings.

There: I've gone and said it.

"Order fruity drinks without being judged."

Really?

Ok, sorry my bad. That artical was a little lame. I had just been watching for just about anything related. And no, I personally am not into yoga pants lol

I don't know. I drank a heck of a lot of strawberry margaritas back in the 1980s. It was a phase, though -- I grew out of it.

If what you mean by 'yoga pants' is what is worn by the chap in this rather sensual video, then I think they are fine. I have a couple of pairs myself and I love the sheer lightness and comfort of them.

I don't know about the pants but I love the skirt. Purple in colour and ankle length, just full enough at the hem to allow a full stride and to twirl. I would wear that skirt in a heartbeat.

No, I'd say those were harem pants, or perhaps there's a different name for men's.

Buy yoga pants are like mid-calf running tights.

Yes - it's lovely, isn't it!

There have been a few occasions in the past when I have been ceilidh dancing wearing a long(-ish) skirt. They do flow beautifully and I think it definitely enhances one's dancing.

I've worn long, full skirts at ceilidhs for several years, they make a huge difference to the style and the fun of dancing.

I remember hearing some years ago from a woman whose husband was having problems learning to dance properly. In desperation she made him wear one of her skirts whilst practicing at home - and suddenly he 'got' it.
