Skirts in foreign lands

Nobody has ever given me any grief either.

Hello Josie24, welcome to the Cafe. I think the UK, at the moment, is pretty safe for the skirted man. Which part of the UK are you in?

Lands are only foreign if you don't live there, so I don't know if this counts, but I have lived in or on Madeira for about six weeks now. I have worn a skirt or a dress (yes, a dress) all but three days. We have a lovely little apartment five minutes or less from the promenade, which serves as a beach. We walk there regularly. My partner I think is a bit nervous about what she thinks is the attention that I draw from how I dress but I seldom notice and continue to remind her that I don't care. As a matter of fact, I have gotten more positive comments from other people than I ever did in the same amount of time in the States. The area has several luxurious high-end hotels and guest houses, so I see and am seen by many tourists. I have seen two other skirted males during my time here, both tourists, I'm sure. A woman working at the car rental office exclaimed that she loved the way that I dress

Modoc,

Sounds like a very useful report based on a goodly amount of exposure, so precisely the kind of reassurance some of us need. Thank you.

Hi Guys,
I’m over the moon to be able to say I’ve just returned home from La Palma (Canary Islands) and everyday I was there on holiday with my wife I wore skirts , I was in heaven, I didn’t get a single negative comment from anyone, I noticed a couple of fellow holidaymakers stare for a few seconds but not a single comment not even from the hotel staff.

Nice to hear. That's mostly what my experience has been here in Madeira where I have worn a skirt just about every day of the 6 months that I have been here. But I must admit that some of the local working guys make it obvious that they are not fans. But as I have said many times, I don't expect everyone to like how I dress. I am just glad not to have to suffer any discernable consequences.

Well done, both of you! Keep on taking your skirts everywhere!

6 months in Madeira would be lovely. Beautiful scenery, the climate is great, and there seemed to be plenty going on in Funchal the times Hazel and I were there. Have you retired there?
