Hi,
I have been wearing skirts for about 11 years, first as a CD/TV, then as now, skirts only. I am into skirts(nearly all the time at home), computers, and ride a 750 motorcycle. I drive 44 ton artics for a living, and if I get any time left over, I try to keep house decorated.
My wife accepts the skirt wearing, They are only womens skirts, but of a mainly plain single colour. I don`t like the utilikilts or kilts, personal taste only , of course, but I do like pleated skirts. I raised £83 for Children In Need last November, by wearing a skirt to work on that day. Wore tights too, because it was minus 5 deg C, with a wind to add to chill factor.
It is so comfortable to drive in a skirt, especially long distance( in my truck ).
Regards,
Greg

Welcome to the club, Gregg. Just as a matter of interest, does the skirt attract any comments at the truck stop?

Hi Ron,
At one of our depots, it was taken with good humour--at a customers works, there were a few smiles, but no snide comments at all. I don`t go ito truck stops ---getting dearer than motorway services.

Welcome Greg,

I keep hearing from folks here about how comfortable driving is in a skirt .... Maybe I should learn, before I hit 50 (oh my gawd, that's only 3 years away!! Panic panic panic..)

I too don't care for kilts much, a plain skirt looks and feels so much better. Since I'm working this Sunday I will be able to come to work skirted. It's not really an option during the week, it's not worth the hassle I'd get. That and the fact that ultimately I'm a bit of a wimp.

All best wishes,
Ash

I am a trucker myself ... wearing skirts in the cab was more freedom for .....well, you know what I mean. After I had to send 2 rednecks to the hospital - they attacked me in the driver's lounge of a truck stop - I don't do it anymore. Sad, sad..but that is life

Or are we old enough to know what's right and just, and wise enough to say, "screw it!" to those who aren't?

I often wear my kilt to drive, but I must say it grips kinda hard round the gut and I would prefer an elasticated waist. Kilts, however, pass the Wife Test and skirts do not.

But one of the regulars here says it better than any other way.

If I can't wear a skirt while I'm living, I certainly can't when I'm dead!!!

I do have it in my will to be planted wearing my favorite skirt, however I really don't know when that will be so I don't know which skirt will be my favorite then. LOL :shake:

Welcome to the Forum, Gregg1100 and maybe it is an age thing. As a youngster I had a steady girlfriend from the age of 15. After three years this girlish guy began to tag along with us, mainly because my girl was a kind sympathetic girl who always supported the underdog who had no other friends. We had planned on marrying once we finished university, then she seemed to begin to doubt I would want to go through with marriage as she said I wouldn't want to share her life in which she intended doing something very different from the norm. I couldn't really see what the problem was until she suddenly went off and married the girly guy, without any warning and leaving her father to break the news. The guy later became a woman and then another guy moved in with the pair of them. For years I thought she'd contact me with an explanation and either get back together or make proposals to divide up the things we had bought jointly in anticipation of our marriage. It eventually took a short lived relationship with a look alike with whom I fathered my only child before I felt able to move on. So by the time I eventually married my dear wife Ann, whom I had known as a platonic friend for many years, we were too old to start a family of our own. Thus I have spent many years being vitriolic towards gays, TV's, CD's etc. whom I perceived as wreckers of the traditional family unit I had been brought up to believe in. So it was rather ironic that once I was in my fifties I should progress from only ever wearing a tartan kilt for a special occasion to suddenly wearing non-traditional self colour kilts for everyday wear. A leg injury initially forced me into it but I was surprised at the comfort and at the favourable reaction of others, including my wife who encourages me to wear these kilts. I now own an equal number of trousers and kilts (seven of each). I expected aggro. from younger guys as I myself would have dished it out to any guy in a skirt just a few years ago before I became mature (old) enough to know better, but it just hasn't been an issue. Of course men wear skirts for different reasons, some are straight guys like me who wear them for comfort, some are gay and maybe dress to attract other men; some feel the need to dress fem; but there is a coming together of diffferent types of guys who have skirt wearing as a common interest and this has made me become much more tolerant of others leanings in the past few years.

what an interesting story! that must have been quite something to write all that.

I'm curious about the idea of gays in skirts though because I never heard of such a thing myself. wearing a skirt makes other guys nervous to the point where they feel obliged to sometimes comment on it to release the tension. it obviously bothers some of them quite a lot.

tight jeans are more blatantly homo-erotic than a skirt and seem to be used as such by the gay community. the skirt appeals more to the imagination than the "look what I got!" crowd, and women seem drawn to it for that reason.

Iain, in my youth in Fort Lauderdale Florida, I met a few gay men who wore skirts but, they also went the whole TV/CD thing too. Personally, I've never met a gay man that wore only skirts for comfort or just to be in style. I'm sure there are probably some out there, it's just that I've never met any.

I think gays tend to be conscious of not overtly appearing gay to the straight community. TVs are not usually gay, I think. the whole gay thing seems to be femininity in a manly wrapping.

the standard male staples of t-shirts, muscles and jeans become a cartoon-tiny t-shirts, unbelievably pumped up muscles and impossibly tight jeans. to wear a skirt might be to sort of let the air out of the balloon.

when wearing skirts in public a man shouldn't worry about appearing gay, because if their behaviour is as normal, then the impression they give will also be normal. if he wears tight jeans it's far more likely, I think.

wearing macleod tartan kilt today--lots of yellow and black, very dramatic, and my new diesel spring jacket! gonna go check out the bodies exhibit at earls court.

None of our friends/acqaintances of homosexual persuasion would consider wearing a skirt/dress as a means of 'attracting' another bloke. One was persuaded to wear a dress to a party, but was then the centre of the girls' attention. His former partner does possess a (trad) Kilt (he's 50% Scottish), but rarely wears it as he says it is the perfect "Babe Magnet". (Mind you, he's inevitably surrounded by a posse of young ladies wherever he goes!). As others have said, tight jeans, short-sleeved top/shirt (the "Freddie Mercury" look) seem to be the favourite amongst younger homosexuals.
