Man Wears Skirt, Likes It
Re: Man Wears Skirt, Likes It
Actually, this fellow doesn't know what it is like to wear a skirt. So how can he like skirts?

Unfortunately, to the critical mind he fails at not one, but both at the same time. He will never see it that way, of course, unless it's deep in the future following reflection, but that's the way it seems to happen.Caultron wrote:It's probably cognitive dissonance. He wants to wear a skirt, but he also doesn't want to, so he looks for a middle ground.
That's a standard put-down and deserved precisely the response it got here.Actually, I thought the quote about the transvestite Scotsman was going to raise the most attention. Interesting.

Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Yes, just did that to a pair of soccer shorts that were getting old. Took a single-edge razor blade and modified them. Yes, it means I have no trousers, but, don't care right now.Grok wrote:Has anyone ever ripped out the inseam and converted these shorts into skirts?Caultron wrote:Actually, some of the long, baggy cargo and basketball shorts almost look like skorts, if not skirts. But I guess they preserve whatever psychological comfort there is from having an inseam.Grok wrote:What you get is the silhouette of a skirt, but not an actual skirt. One can say to oneself that it may look like I am wearing a skirt, but I am actually wearing shorts.
