I know that this is a subjective statement however as I leave my place for town the clothes shoes etc that "males " wear are just plain Sissy and to make it worst the little fellows are dressing just like Dad.There it is off my chest now and I feel really MANNLY. smith

Are you assuming their gender?!?!?!?!?!?!

I smell what you're stepping in. It's here as well, more and more often I see guys of a broad age range wearing pants that their feet don't look like they fit through the leg holes. Sign of the times I guess.

So you are taking the time to look over the skinny-jeans guys' legs and feet? Who would have suspected?

Sometimes you can't tell what's going on until you get closer...like a train wreck.

I like to be able to tell men and women apart while they are a mile away. Skirts and dresses and long hair on the women, britches and short hair on the men. It's refreshing to see manly young men and young women who are ladies. You don't see it a lot any more. It's depressing to live in a society that discourages the idea that women and men are different, to the point where there is unisex clothing, and they are encouraged to act like the opposite gender, and if they act like the gender they were born as, it's barely tolerable, and often made fun of and vilified. I cannot replace my wife, nor can she fill my role, yet we compliment each other, and have a family and home. Go figure, it's like God designed it.

My wife was picking berries the other day with another lady, and I noticed them walking down the road about 3/4 of a mile away. Her husband had came over to visit me, and while slapping nonstop at mosquitoes that were eating up his short clad legs, commented that my wife was coming down the road, and wondered who the man was with her. He didn't recognize his own wife till they were within 200 yards of the house! Boy, was he embarrassed!

So, skirts and dresses on women? Wonder what that would be like on the Trap line if you want lady trappers to wear skirts and dresses. What about skinning and putting up fur? How about dying and waxing traps? Just doesn't seem that would work out well....

I wear pants/jeans and shirts about 99% of the time. And almost all of my shirts are men's shirts. Not women's blouses. I'm not wearing them to look like a man. I'm wearing men's shirts because they are comfortable. Loose fitting. And they usually have pockets.

Women's blouses are all tapered at the waist and usually don't have pockets. For those of you that know me personally would know that me in a tapered, fitted women's blouses would be a funny sight.

My wife wears leggings under her skirts, and has no problem riding horses, fishing, hunting, hiking, helping with firewood, etc. In the winter time she puts on her snow britches or coveralls, and then slips on a snow skirt over them, and accompanies me trapping and ice fishing. She's not impeded in any way, if that's what your implying. It is hard to find women's clothing that she likes in the stores, but we live in a village anyway, and she either makes her clothes or orders offline from people who make what she wants. I'm glad you're putting selfies on here now White!

I've got two camo hoodies for free that are womens, but they fit and nobody thinks I look like a women in them, and as long as my brothers and cousins don't find out, I'll be alright! What really makes me chuckle is when people with shorts get ate up by bugs or scratched by briars when doing an outdoors activity!

you guys act like you didn't have long hair, dressed like the Ramones and wanted to look just like Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister...

the skinny jeans are queer, just like your old leather pants from the 80's were....

alot of the younger guys dress like they borrowed an outfit from their sister.....

it makes sense though, it is the new ploomage for mating, and these young rutty teens and 20 somethings are going to done the latest in ploomage if thats what it takes....

Interesting you chose this sandbox for this subject, G Smith

I am happy to feel the balance of my feminine self- as well as enjoy the many "hats" in clothing I wear, to accomplish what Im doing at the time.

I have no trouble going from full riding gear in the show horse arena , to comfort in loose clothing in hunting , work clothes , to fun in a dress and heels , makeup and all, so proud to be going out with the love of my life . Even in privacy , dressing up just for fun sometimes, home cooked meal, candles, and smiles into the evening.

No reason most times, other than love and appreciation . Other times in celebration of something .

I really enjoy my femininity , who I am, moving in my skin . No matter what I am wearing .

There is nothing more complimentary , to me, than the power and masculinity of a handsome man, and the beauty and grace of his woman , proud in bestowing complete respect, love and dignity equally in each other. Blending talents and goals , the happy waltz of life.

Outstanding balance in dovetail fit , the epitome of Yin/Yang.

The team as male or female combined in glowing harmony , their physical differences highlighting their beauty and charm in exquisite delight.

That doesn't affect one bit the things they enjoy and do , whether together in abilities shared, or admired apart in each other. It enhances them .

Being self secure in oneself makes for smooth assurance of identity and pride in who we as individuals are .

No skinny jeans on anyone mine, or here !

White17 - was that post in response to my last sentence? If so, well played. LOL

Thank you !!!

Well darn. I thought I made these skinny jeans look pretty dang good.

My Skinny jeans are easier to tuck into my boots.

I think you'll find a lot of women who trap tend to dress in more guy-type clothes. I also have short hair. Long hair was a bit too much work to care for out here on the ranch.
I understand why women would wear the more masculine clothes, because they tend to be comfortable and utilitarian, plus they've got better pockets, or do short hair. (It's easier to groom.) Some of us just want to wear what's the most practical. Jeans offer more protection for one's legs when going through barbed wire or brush, and they stay out of the way somewhat well.
I don't get the guys who are wearing women-style and grow their hair long. It's more work, and you can't wear socks as well with skinny jeans because any long socks can't be pulled up when your pant leg is so tight. (I think if you wore high socks, you'd have to pull your pants down to get the socks up.)

FLcracker - I'm curious as to why your wife puts on a 'snow skirt' over her "snow britches or coveralls".

I understand the concept of layering but it just seems rather odd that you would put on a skirt over your coveralls.

Note - I'm not looking for a fight. Just trying to understand the logic.

Thanks.

She wants to be identified as a woman from a distance, and she feels more effeminate Feminine. If she's doing something really labor intensive she wears a split riding skirt. We've never brow beat anyone who doesn't agree with us, that's just what we prefer. That's one thing I appreciate about this site, most people are courteous despite their differences.
