    Amen, brother. Real men like me wear skirts and dresses. Real men can shave everywhere without looking feminine. My wife looks like a real woman in pants, too. Wimpy men try to look like women did 100 years ago. What these wimpy guys really need is some mental health counseling.

      Actually once you travel outside in a skirt you will never regret it. I wear skirts 7 days a week in male mode, go shopping and just outside. They are more comfy then pants or shorts plus give you more room for "Movement".

      I live in Scotland so outdoors I can wear my Kilt with silk knickers and a half slip under it, really lovely sensation.No one notices a man in a kilt.

      If going in the woods a utilikilt or a denim skirt would be best, if just giing out any style skirt would do quite well. I wore my denim skirt while riding my brother's Harley - it was fantastic.

      If you like skirts then that should be your first choice wearing out side, it offers to you both male and female mode and different choices of tops and skirts.

    Good for you. I occasionally wear skirts to, particularly in the warmer weather, as they are definitely more comfortable than shorts. Dresses are trickier, as it is hard to find any that fit well on the top. I have worn them, but prefer a t-shirt and skirt.

    WOW! I've only touch base with a few close friends about "maybe" wearing other lighter weight loose clothing and most of those friends don't talk to me any more. Mainly shirts and pants and they quickly turned away. Never mention about wearing long exceptionally loose garments (a.k.a. skirts). My job requires me to be in heavy, sturdy clothing. So naturally I like the lighter, softer, much more relaxed clothes for relaxation. I get tired of being in heavy clothes all of the time. I did finally break the ice wearing my very relaxed fitted rayon drawstring pants in public. That's a first for me and yes, I did get allot of flack for doing that. Still trousers, just made of a softer woven rayon fabric in a more relaxed fit. And it was a rather breezy day too, maybe that influenced the negative comments. Though I kinda like the breezy feel of the lighter clothes. That's one of the perks to wearing such clothes. Makes them feel many times cooler.

    I do have a few skirts as well. First one was made from what was a sleeping bag to be used at motels/hotels if your uncertain to the cleanliness of the sheets/pillows. That one is royal blue silk made into a 36" long skirt. Kinda on the thin side, but oh so soft against the skin. Very cool on a hot, humid summer day. Next one I got from Cabela's why buying fishing gear. Brown, 38" long with just enough fullness to walk in for a 6 ft 6 in guy. Has pockets, elastic waist with belt loops and made of a crinkle rayon. My favorite. The other two later on are viscose, one kind of a purple like color and the other with a much swingier fit of a multi-color viscose. Recently one made of black 8 mm silk . I experimented with having the black silk underneath the purple viscose, which is under the multi-color viscose and then topped off with the blue silk. The combination is AWESOME! It has a nice soft feel, yet a lofty weighted, kinda masculine like feel too. That ended up being my #1 favorite for cooler weather.

    Now, if I could only find a woman that will accept me for her man and we could share our lives together in full comfort. That would be Kool!

    I was scared to death the first time I wore a skirt in public but I can say that I am so glad I did it. The real trick is to wear something that looks really nice at first. People seem to take you more seriously when you do. It takes a little time to get used to it but once you do it you'll keep doing it and become confident too. If you dress nice you'll start getting compliments from a few people and then you'll realise that its not such a big deal anymore. I wear skirts and dresses and it feels wonderful. Dont be afraid to go to stores and try on different things because thats how you learn what looks good on you and what doesnt. It is so much fun to go shopping because there are so many different styles for women than there are for men. Mens clothes are boring! Going to restaurants and stores in the earlier hours of the day when it wasnt so busy helped me at first but now i go out anytime of the day and it is so liberating. Go for it and act confident and have fun!

    I am an over the road trucker, age 49. I have been wanting to ware a skirt in public for a long time but afraid of what people would say. My wife of 12yrs doesn't like skirts much , she wasn't raised wareing them. Not long ago I met a punk-rocker , he was wareing a long blk skirt , it was cool. Since then I have bought some skirts.Yesterday I wore my khaki skirt , with an ocean blue mens v-neck t-shirt and tennis shoes. It was the 1st time for me in public! :-) While wareing my skirt I fueled my truck @ the same truckstop where I met the punk-rocker. After I left I felt proud of myself for taking the 2nd step to true FREEDOM!!! (1st step was buying skirts).I hope my wife can get acustom to my skirt wareing. It is comfortable , relaxing and very enjoyable. I will keep on wareing them , buying them and I will design and make a few skirts too! Thanks for reading my comment.(sorry my fingers got long winded.) :-)

    Wore a grey knee length skirt with a loose white shirt on a hot day out with my wife and sons. Took in a street festival and recieved absolutely no negative remarks.

    Ps. This was in Edmonton, a very blue collar city.

    i just got 2 new dresses yesterday (as they were on sale) and after trying them on i wore one out to the bar without any problem, i just walked in and no one said anything except for one girl who said the dress suits me, which i was glad to hear as i never know if a new style on me looks good or not i have several female friends who normally tell me if we are out and i try anything on but as i bought this from J P Penny online i was not to sure it would look good but it does and i was very happy to hear some one say so (there is a photo on my profile the first dress in new dress due to sale album) as soon as i was told it suited me i relaxed and then was much happier.



    so if you want to go out in a skirt for the first time tell a friend (female is best) and try to get them to say weather something suits you then go out with them where ever you want to, some where you normally go is best where people know you as that gets two things over with in one go.

    i wish you luck as i know how hard it is to start with, the first time out = very hard, second time out = hard, third time out = who cares any more its me that counts.

    Women need to understand that they can be comfortable wearing pants whereas a man can not since the sexes have different external body parts. It should not take a really smart woman to realize that fact.

    You need to go for it. I have worn a short denim skirt, sometimes with pantyhose other times without anything at all. That and high heels is a great feeling. Stange looks sometimes, but who cares. It is their problem.

    Do it!

    One day in last summer I had a long white lace skirt (see-through, a sheer black pantyhose underneath) and a sheer white blouse on and went to a nail-salon for a manecure and nail-polish. That was a great experience and so arousing!

    Next summer I will wear a nice short summer-dress and nothing underneath (maybe a sheer or a patterned black pantyhose underneeth - we will see...) and go shopping for dresses or skirts. Unfortunately I never did that until now, but I want it so much...

    Why not go for it.

    I also started a bit scared, but by time you find out that it is nothing special. On my freetime I nowmore only wer skirts, all from ankle lengt to mini all bought in woman shops and with matching tops. never had a bad comment, but of course a few looks and smiles, some kids pulling and trying to lift the skirt etc. but never any bad experience only good, much nicer reception in many shops.

    I also wear dresses and it is the same.

    This evening I wear a very short pink mini with pink leggings with lace and a very fem top with a lot of frills.

    Was out to the supermarket and shop attendants or other people had no bad comments



    So please go for it

    Well I went to a rummage sale yesterday and I decided to wear a skirt . It was a long one that comes past your knees and I did get a few looks but all in all it was a good experience. Keep in mind my head is almost shaved and I have a beard. No it did not look like a kilt. It was a womans skirt. I should have taken some pics. But that will be another day. I will be sporting skirts this summer.

      Was anything said to you directly or perhaps behind your back that you could hear? Yes there will be odd looks. So what, the first time I wore a skirt and found out just how comfy it was I was hooked. Just keep wearing them as a Man. Not as anything fem. People will just ignore you which is what mostly happens with me. Should you be in the company of a woman, so much the better.

    Just go ahead. I wear kilts and skirts.Just dress yourself as a man, dont try to pass yourself off as a woman. When you go out go with a sense of purpose and basically ignore those around you except the ones you need to interact with - store clerks, gas sta attendant etc. Wear a solid color - jean, kahki, black maybe blue -for the most part people will just ignore you. Sometimes wou will get odd looks - ignore them. My experiance is that people that do speak to you will be supportive.

    Just as Paul above stated just be yourself. Putting on false airs irritates people. You are a male who wears skirts and dresses, the clothing doesn't make you any less of a man. Who cares what other people like. If you liked peanut butter would you stop because others don't, I don't think so.

    Like i said above, I wear my skirts outside, I have never been denigrated for it but have received a few compliments for the various styles I wear, as well as the colors. I did however have to learn to mix and match tops/shirts with them, you know plaids and stripes don't go together. I wear crew socks with some sandals and over the calf (knee length) with my Adidas shoes. Undies are an option except boxers are really tacky.

      The world certainly doesn't need any artificial women as in men who think that they can pass as a woman. Great comments except that the fashion police should cite you for wearing socks with sandals. That is really tacky. Really!

    just do it i do the same i wear skirts most of the time as most dresses do not fit the male frame as we are larger on the top compared to the bottom i have to wear size 14 skirts but a size 20 top or dress.



    i do not try to pass as a woman i tried that rough but it was not me i just want to be able to wear a skirt or dress as a man, i have since i was young but didn't have the confidence but now i am older (57) i do as i like i have found out if you are happy with the way you are then other people are too but if you are scared or ashamed then other people will react that way as well.



    so wear what ever you want as long as it is decent ( no skirts that show your knickers) and be happy in it and go out with confidence

    You should wear skirts and dresses if you want to. There are no laws that preclude a man or boy from wearing them. I have 14 different skirts, and have discarded wearing pants all together. Like you I do not pass as a female with my 5 o'clock shadow. I do however remove most body hair (legs, arm & chest) at the bequest of my girlfriend, I am far from being overweight so no bra is needed for man boobs as most 60+ males seem to develope. I have recieved compliments for my apparel from others as i have been out in public on hundreds of occcasions. So all I can tell you is to go for it. Your comfort levels are more important then others opinions.

    Yes, do it. I wore skirts and dresses over my ripped jeans (black pantyhose underneath) in many occasions and love shopping in this clothes (and I love the nice views of the girls, too :). And if you are naughty enough wear the skirt (or the dress) without underwear and cut your jeans to free your bottom and crotch! The people don't know, that your jeans are open under your skirt. That's freedom, arousing! (Yes, I did it many times...) But don't think about sex, otherwise the people can see how you feel... :)
