Skirts are way hotter than pants. Just sayin’. What about 'hot pants' that were popular in the early '70s?

I like skirts. They cover the butt. When a woman wears pants, men are just staring at her butt when she walks away. With a skirt... well... they still stare, but they can’t really see as much.

I had never thought of it that way. I’ve always hated skirts, but I may reconsider that. Excellent point.

All kidding aside, I've always thought that women looked more professional in a business suit with a skirt.

There are some people who have never seen me in pants. It’s always a dress or skirt unless I am playing a sport.
Yes, I am a woman.
