i'm deep into women's socks now.

i have the smartwool saturnsphere in all three colors. crew length.
i'm ordering the salomon mountain stripe in both colors. knee length (so great)!

unisex socks can sometimes be good too.

i have the wigwam dream catcher in both colors. knee length!

Speaking of, you should link a photo of your shoes, too.

Eat your words, nny.

My roommate and I each took surveys about which male characteristics are more attractive to us. We both prefer slightly more 'effeminate' men, not just with the way they look, but also with the way they conduct themselves.

We both value vulnerability immensely. It can extremely attractive.

So you are into trannys? I mean women's clothing jumps right over the effeminate line and keeps on going clean into transvestite land. Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of silk against the skin as much as the next guy, but I just don't see the point of a wire framed brassier.

Also, not a fan of dresses... or kilts for that matter. I mean I understand the whole "cross breeze" concept... and they can be warmer than pants... but I dunno, there's no support. And climbing + kilt / dress = bad time for the rest of the planet.

As for pumps... I don't even get why women wear them... they look like they bloody hurt.

Don't Let Your Walls Down
see i dont buy these stories. all the women that i've talked to want their man to be "manly" and not borderline fem, or that metrosexual crap. i think the problem is with the masculine men. the majority of them get so into themselves and act like douche bags that the women have to settle.

I would also wage a bet on these numbers being different depending on the size of the city that the state the women were raised in. Say you sampled women from New York and Wyoming. I'm pretty sure the New York women would prefer the fem, while the Wyoming women prefer the Masculine. I think these studies were too broad and if you broke the countries down into the regions where these women were taken from you would also find that the location where these women were from also could play a large part in determining what type of man they preferred.

Getting away from those kind of men isn't settling, it's ideal!

That's garbage, nny. Wearing womens' socks ≠ transvestite. Don't be silly!

Tell me, do you like the idea of a woman wearing one of your shirts in the morning? I'd wager you do :x

Yeah but I also like the idea of a woman wearing a darth vader helmet, dressing up like the fry kids, and pretending to be william howard taft by donning a suit with a sumo wrestler blow up suit.

Simple fact is you can dress up a girl in anything and if she's cute she's just going to be that much cuter.

Where as a dude dressing up like a girl is about one step removed from dancing around in a skin suit as seen in silence of the lambs.

> i hate the gendering of clothes

In my obervation, male and femile bodies are mostly, but not exactly, the same! For some clothes this does not matter. For others it does.

I once bought a female jeans by accident. I can assure you that they *will* fit, but that certain body parts will feel *extremely* uncomfortable since certain male and female parts are not shaped the same, and the jeans are shaped accordingly.

So there is some practical sense. Not for socks though, I never noticed any real difference there.
