Welcome from Bristol UK

Post by Robin »

Hi I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Robin and have been wearing skirts for a little while now. My wife is fully supportive and she is encouraging me to have no shame and enjoy being who I am. I'm just taking the first steps in going out in a skirt, rather scary but feels great.

Welcome to Skirt Cafe.

:thewave:

Does your wife accompany you on your skirted trips out or are you venturing out on your own?

Hi yes she does. We tend to go to museums and art galleries as I feel safe in these places. We have been to a restaurant and that was lovely as a member of staff was very complimentary about my outfit.

Welcome Robin. You are in a fortunate place having a supportive wife to share your skirted life. Please stick around and post a couple more times and your username will turn blue and you will then have access to the whole cafe, including the area we post pictures of ourselves. :thewave:
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

Hi Robin
:welcome:
Glad to hear you're already out and about in public with your wife, having a supportive partner makes it so much easier to gain confidence.
Hope you'll stick around and join in the conversations.

Welcome Robin. I agree with the others that having your wife on the same side makes all the difference.

A big welcome to the café from me too. I live a bit further west from you along the M4 in S.Wales and having overcome the initial scary feeling now wear a skirt almost all the time - it’s great!

Hi Robin. There are often a bunch of men in skirts / kilts at the Bristol contra dance, and I've also seen them at ceilidhs.
