Its lonely out here

[Couya]

Hi, Alastair,
I should have added that I did not think the only skirted men I actually spoke to were weird !!! (you and Greg from Denmark)

Tut, tut, Martin, you do yourself a disservice. I don't think you're weird in the slightest. Stop talking yourself down!

Thank you. But I am sure other people think so.

Mind you, when I saw a skirted man recently, I didn't speak to him...

Exactly.

Sorry I missed you this summer, by the way.

I don't really think skirted men are weird. But that being said, I probably won't run across the room and yell "HEY!!!! I LIKE YOUR SKIRT!!!!" If we're standing pretty close I might say something if he has that "approachable vibe", otherwise it's the usual head nod, "how are ya" and on my way I go....

If possible, I'd probably walk toward him as if I were going that way anyway, pass close enough for him to notice me, and then just say, "Hi, I like your outfit."

My wife won't be seen in public with me skirted but when we are out together, and I see another guy in a skirt or kilt, I always point him out. This rankles her a bit but not enough to make me stop. The wave keeps chipping away at the rock.

Actually I think all of you are a bit weird. After all if you're going to push the fashion bounderies and fight for the right to express yourself it take a bit of the weird to put up with the naysayers and antognists that will push back. Plus to fight of the demons in your own head takes a bit of weirdness too, especially if you're going to come out victorious in the end. It really the same old same pld attitude that keeps everyone under the thumb of the societal structure that keeps everyone dressing in a certain expected manner and labels those that challenge that "weird". So lets all get weird and wear and what you want and tell society that they can shove it where the sun don't shine and get on with our lives.

I agree. How much fun can you have being normal?

You may see a guy in a skirt/kilt when you least expect it. Last week I was thinking to myself that I hadn't seen another guy skirted (lots of attractive women though ) since I saw a guy twice at the farmer's market several months ago. I walked out of the building I work in one lunch hour last week and saw a guy in a black UK walking toward me. It had been a long time since I had seen any male besides me in a skirted garment downtown.
