That’s right!

However I will say for a woman wearing leggings to a Chiropractic Adjustment are ideal!

Actually divorce is pretty rampant in my extended family, so they know of lots of bad examples to learn from. This is contrasted with interactions with strong faithful families, where divorce is rare. It’s possible they might make a bad choice in the future (free will), but it won’t be out of ignorance.

Yes, it is. But it is Politically Correct harassment, so it is not only acceptable, but desirable (no pun intended).

I’ve worked in the business field for about 35 years. Today marks the first day I ever attended a meeting wearing shorts.

It was a pre-meeting for a national sales meeting, dress was casual and I was running late due to a traffic delay on the three hour drive, so I didn’t go up to my hotel room to change. A few others had shorts too.

That said, the topic of leggings. It’s become the uniform for all the conforming non-conformists. It’s a joke how all women seem destined to wear them. My wife has some but she only wears them to exercise in the basement. My daughters also wear them, with untucked shirts, We taught and expected modesty when they were young. Both are adults now and act with proper decorum.

Next topic. A gentleman tucks in his shirt.

"If you raise boys that can only treat women as people when they are dressed a certain way, something has gone terribly wrong. This reminds me of the “if you’re wearing a skirt you’re asking to be raped” mentality.

I’m sorry if my leggings are making men ogle me. Maybe they should have some restraint and the brainpower to realize I’m more than a body part.

Women, including myself, my nieces, my 75-year-old mother, should wear whatever the heck they want. We should wear what makes us feel good, strong, smart or pretty. Anyone else’s “discomfort” is not our problem."

Repulsive, ugly women.

That one's been a hard one for me to unlearn.

I've always thought that shirts should be tucked in. Even as a kid. The Marine Corps reinforced that dress code.

However, now that I'm just a slimy civilian, I have learned that it is much easier to carry concealed with an untucked shirt. (My preference is an outside the waistband holster.)

I’m sure you’d like seeing men in them too.

A few years ago, I flew to San Diego. There were a bunch of young men on the plane. They were met at the plane by three Marine drill instructors. As I was walking to baggage claim, I took the stairs instead of the escalator.

At the bottom landing were three Drill Instructors and about 30 young men all tucking in their shirts.

I never served. I just think most shirts look slovenly untucked.

I wear jeggings but I always wear long shirts that cover me up because I’m old and fat. It’s a comfort thing because my butt and legs are size six and boobs and belly are 2X.

If I went to mass I would definitely wear a dress though.

Ha!

Yes, I like looking at women wearing leggings, at least a good number of them.

Yes, they are slutty attire not fitting for church, that’s mostly the reason I like looking at women in them.

Yes, ALL women who wear them know exactly what they’re doing and that they look like sluts in them, that’s why they wear them. No woman ever walked out of her house wearing them with the idea going through their head of “I sure hope all these sexist men don’t look at my a$$ today”.

I love ‘em. Just don’t try to feed me some BS about not wanting to be thought of as a body part for wearing them. If you’re wearing them, that’s exactly your purpose and no amount of bleating about “respect” is going to change that.

If they don’t want men to watch the commercials, they shouldn’t advertise.

So true. I just don’t get the active wear obsession, even at a nice restaurant on a Saturday night I see women in Lululemon or Adidas leg wear and tank tops and men with baseball caps.

My wife no longer wears leggings; but when she did, she always had on a long top. They used to sell them that way as outfits.

That was in the 1990s. I don't know when the transition to no tunic at all -- bare butt -- came about. These women might as well be wearing a blouse + pantyhose. They look undressed.

I was rambling around town and encountered an especially premium specimen in the art of legging wearing. I don’t think I had exceeded leer factor two but she suddenly scowled at me and said, “Hey! Take a picture - it’ll last longer!”

So I took her picture...

One of those cases where both sides are wrong.

Agreed. Men in Speedos are not popular.

I agree. I typically only do it if I'm going to the hardware store wearing my project clothes.

In all too many cases, women are now wearing leggings without a skirt or trousers over them & that are just about as revealing as “nude to the waist” pantyhose. = I’ve seen some women in some of the leggings, without skirt/pants over the leggings, in public places, that are nearly transparent & leave nothing to the imagination.

Yours, TMN78247

I love that style. Unfortunately I can’t wear leggings anymore. I have awful Neurapathy that extends to my knees and anything that is the slightest bit tight from feet to knees causes me pain. Summer is great because I don’t need to wear socks or shoes. It’s memory foam flip flops everyday
