ok everyone.. well i just have a random thought in my head... like after watching world cup rugby i saw 'scotland' play against australia... and when i thought of scotland... men n skirts came to mind... well every1 has that stereotypical comment bout men and skirts =gay... well i don't quite think that.. because skirts is just a form of clothing there aint anything wrong with men and that right???.. well it may look weird... but is any1 against it??...

I would never wear a skirt :tongue:

But in scotland they wear it alot. I don't think they are gay for doing that though. It's just how they dress :)

i don't see anything wrong with men wearing skirts. -the gladiator comes into mind and so does brave heart-. some of them guys look sexy in skirts. as longs as it isn't a dress for females i'm fine.not that i have any thing against men who wears dresses. its just the visual image hurts my face.

Um, guys in skirts... No. Maybe men didn't look weird in the past when skirts were accepted and part of daily dress, but I find it hard to imagine a guy wearing a skirt today. I remember seeing Kevin from BSB do that once. It was just ... wrong. >.<

*LOL!!*
OMG!!
I knew that scottish people wearing skirt doing their traditional song thingy..the one with the pipe thingy..it looks normal to me..but a man wearing a skirt going to school or going out door is very very weird *LOL!!*
Ditto to that!
Though i remember... *scratches her head* seeing Prince Charles wearing those scottish skirts in a magazine... very disturbing.... :crazy:
Of course it's weird for guys to wear skirts (exception-->scottish skirts)! Since society won't be finding that normal.. More to do with Cultural and society beliefs. :glug: :wacko:

I think it depends! I mean the scottish are fine
But if u see a random guy on the streets wearing a skirt (especially mini) is's jst wrong@!!!

Yeah for a guy to wear it on special/specific occasions (like those scottish pipe performers etc) is ok and perfectly fine but other then that, it's really... weird. :?

-+my-memory+-

11-09-2003, 04:50 AM

hhmm i see no1 is against the idea of scottish people in skirts for their special beliefs.. where as for a random guy to wear a skirt is seems weird... lolz.. true that pplz!!!.... but i have nothing against them...i suppose every1 has their choice of clothing

well umm its jus becoz time had change everything....thats y we cant stand seein a guy wearin skirt and walk around the block......
in my country, many guys wear skirt at home...even my dad..its not really a skirt tho and its long...more like a umm...*cant find a word to call*....sorry...

Do you mean a 'sarong'? I duno how it spelt. I saw a Caucasion guy wering a long skirt- sarong....at erm the Zoo.
Well...lets just face it....its weird....but hey....in the recent SURVIVOR...that guy....he wore skirt too....so it's not that weird after all right? But I think....lets just leave the skirts to the girls...

retrobaby

11-09-2003, 05:09 AM

i think it is very wrong for guys to wear skirt excpet the scottish tartan skirt...
i think it is like an insult to girls when guys wear skirts...like u know usually they wear skirts to make fun and stuff...

vunsin

11-09-2003, 05:24 AM

The "skirt" that Scottish men wear is called a KILT.

And no, it's totally different from a sarong.

Also, if it's an insult to girls for guys to wear skirts, then it should also be an insult to guys for girls to wear pants.

it must be quite strange to do such things if it's not part of a religion or language culture... my friend wore before...a skirt of his mom with big red dots on it...the situation was so hilarious... but still can't imagine if guys r walking in skirt on the streets

meemaw

11-09-2003, 06:34 AM

hmm..a guy wearing a skirt..what about when women first started wearing pants? im sure the..males..were against it..or felt weird..which is how most people (including me) feel about guys wearing skirts unless it was their culture. but who knows..in 10 or 20 years, with things changing so much, guys wearing skirts wouldnt be considered "weird" anymore. :wacko: so we'd have to accept it huh? :?

shouling

11-09-2003, 06:36 AM

in Scotland it is called a Kilt~! there it is not so much a fasion statement, but a culteral thing. they dont wear them all the time either, just for traditions and events.

as for guys just walking around in skirts for no reason......ICKY~! it would just look dumb~!

it doesnt neccisarily mean they are gay, but no self respecting male would ever be cought dead in a skirt~!

SARONG is an English word also. It's an "adopted" English word. You can find it in the Oxford dictionary with the meaning: "strip of cloth worn tucked round the body."

11-09-2003, 07:01 AM

I think it's NOT WRONG for guys to wear skirt...but the point is will they wear it?Yea...maybe like what Shouling has said..the Scottish guys will wear it for traditions and special events.Other than that tradition thing..i think most of the guys would choose not to wear a skirt and walk around for everyone would be staring at him.But it's a different story if it's involved artists.I have seen many cross-dresser artists like Placebo...and even Edison Chen has wore a skirt before (i've seen that in the newspaper).The fact that they're artists and no matter what they wear...people especially the fans will always admire them.Anyway...my point is it's not wrong tho for a guy to wear a skirt.Maybe...it will be just a bit weird..hehe :shifty:

Look strange to mi.
Well, maybe i'm not used to it, thats why!

i don't think its wrong....just depends on the customs of the area.... lol...tho it would look rather odd...seeing guys strolling around in pink tutus and stuff like that......(and i have...oxford st...beware :glug:)

11-09-2003, 08:20 AM

Well the stuff i've been exposed to i don't find it werid. Every friday at my school, the scotish club wears a kilt, and when you see guys in those hola skirts it seems normal. As long as it isn't a short tight skirt that is way above their knees. *shivers...

No problem. Nowadays a lot of words are borrowed and adopted to and from the English language, and other languages too. :)

Anyways... With the whole gender equality thing, guys should be able to wear any kind of skirts if they want to. :wink2: It might be "weird" at first, but then I'm sure it was "weird" when women first started wearing pants.

11-09-2003, 08:40 AM

There isn't anything wrong with men wearing skirts it's only 'weird' or 'gay' because it's not something we see everyday, there are still people out there who think that women shouldn't wear pants.

jessca

11-09-2003, 10:30 AM

Every guy wore 'skirts' a long time ago..then things changed and skirts as we know them as today were restricted ot women. But in Scotland, kilts with a particular pattern belong to a certain family and that style of pattern is passed down from gerneration to generation as a heritage. Thats why Scottish people wear kilts with pride at traditional events and family gatherings, because it displays their family history. For example, most Scottish men wear kilts at their wedding...and the leather bag at the front of a kilt is called a sporan... :D

David Beckham gave the tabloids a field day when he wore a sarong. Im sure people heard this and its constantly mentioned in the UK. He kinda is a walking fashion statement and because he ws pictured wearing one, other guys in the UK think it is alright to do so on holiday. So if you ever go to Spain etc, you will see a whole load of guys in sarongs on the beach... :oops:

lattae

11-09-2003, 10:37 AM

I am okay with guys wearing skirt since I, as a gal am wearing pants/jeans etc... BUT

please... no mini skirts and please wear something beneath that skirt... really... I don't want to see what's beneath (especially given the fact that most guys I see love to spread their legs miles apart when they sit...) :crazy:

E-Ping

11-10-2003, 08:57 AM

E-Ping...are u sure that was Edison??? :glug: ....he wore a skirt??? :crazy: Yeah its not wrong for guys to wear skirts its jus weird jus like some guys think that girls in trousers are also weird...maybe? :?

Yes,Jerria..i'm sure coz i have seen that pic of Edison wearing a skirt a couple of times in the newspaper.I was kinda shocked at 1st.Anyway it wasn't a mini skirt that he was wearing...it was more like a long skirt.. :oops:

vashdestampede

11-10-2003, 09:05 AM

well every1 has that stereotypical comment bout men and skirts =gay

wow....that reminds me of the stereotype where a tall skinny guy who's neat is gay....that's not a good one either......

hmmm.....i guess after guys wearing flares....the next progressive step would be to take out the material in between...and it'd technically be a skirt!

and if you wear it like Mr Bean...nobody would know...if you just tuck it in between your legs...they'd still look like pants =)

11-10-2003, 05:14 PM

:laughing: men with skirts are definitely not gay
who knows maybe a few years later it could be the fashion the century?
people's perspective changes constantly and is currently changing too
i's like a cycle

for the human at the earliest years of the stone age, naked is the 'fashion'
then bear fur becomes the fashion
eventually people started covering themselves up
then the peak is reached, everything goes down hill from there
the cloth gets lesser and more skin revealed
finally people will be naked again and the cycle goes on... :laughing:

so wat i'm tryin 2 say is the perception of people could change to think that men with skirts actually look good
and i saw a programme recently about a fashion designers to revolutionize the fashion industry with men wearin skirts..just like wat this topic has come out with!
as for now, it is totally unacceptable for me :D

strawberri

11-11-2003, 08:47 AM

im not against guys who wear skirts....
if it can be seen normal in scotland...i think it can b normal anywhere....
but if you think about it...people would probably stay away if they saw a guy in a skirt in the streets now...

-dream-

11-11-2003, 11:11 AM

i don't think guys who have certain desires to wear skirts should be discriminated, but really...it just makes me wonder why a man would want to wear one.

If not meant for homosexual purposes, and only because they find skirts a somewhat nice piece of clothing to wear, then by all means go ahead. Scottish men wear skirts, and they're not necessarily all gay, so it's not really WRONG to wear a piece of cloth wrapped around your waist. but again, i can't help but wonder who would want to do that.

11-12-2003, 03:19 PM

i think its pretty weird for a guy to wear skirts outdoors actually..imagine seeing a guy on the streets wearing a skirt..people would automatically think that he's abnormal or just plain gay right?think men should just stick to their usual shorts and trousers.. :laughing: but its quite ironic that gals are able to wear clothes guys wear but guys wearing dresses and skirts are just not acceptable..

but if guys wear skirts cuz its their traditional costume..then its perfectly fine..like what u guys said, men in scotland wear them alot cuz its part of their culture..and i think malays wear a cloth tied around their waist too..somewhat like a skirt and i think its quite normal..nothing wrong with that :happy:

zhy378

11-15-2003, 05:38 PM

i think is okay with guys wearin kilts or skirts. cuz i'm kinda used by it i think, cuz there this one guy from my english class, few times wear his kilt to represent his scottish heritage, but still is only one guy.

LiLxAmMiE

11-16-2003, 03:17 AM

well, i don't think it's against the law to wear it or anything, but i rather men NOT wearing skirts and dancing around. it just disturbs me.. you wouldn't really walk into a mens store and see a bunch of skirts hanging around.. :happy:

sabriel

11-16-2003, 03:26 AM

i have no problems with guys wearing skirts. as long as he has the legs for it and the shirt to go with it. dont clash is all that i ask.
fashion changes to fast for me to have a lasting opinion about it.
if a guy feels comfortable about wearing a skirt then props to him. if he wants to strap on some killer heels along with it, i'll offer to help pick them out.

11-16-2003, 06:18 PM

I think it's okay. Men do need a little air in there :laughing: If a man can carry a skirt and still look manly in it, that adds up to his masculinity factor, don't you think so?

And in some cultures, men do wear skirts. It's jsut that we're used to the fact that skirts are for women in our culture.

11-17-2003, 05:01 AM

i think its not wrong...but it looks wrong O o

although, in ancient china, the robes that men wore look really cool...especially the ones worn by royalty....look amazing o O

how about dresses? what if a guy decided to wear a dress? and what if there was a fashion line of dresses designed for men? ah...i can see it now, it'll be big! real big!

i neither confirm nor deny.
hold on let me check.
ok i still dont kno how to convert girl to guy size. we start at 0. which is a trick in itself.

i wonder if they did make skirts for guys, would you still stick to they guy measurments? but i'm getting off topic. so guys can wear skirts, its not wrong. who knows whats masculine and feminine anymore? unisex is our generation.

i'm still gonna pretend youre still too big to preserve my self-esteem.

Guys can't wear skirts because their hips are too small...... and if they sashay around like we do...... the skirt would probably end up at their ankles.... :wacko:

lilmizzaudi

11-25-2003, 11:58 PM

i think that if a man wears a skirt he isn't necessarily "gay"
i am buddhist and our monks don't wear anything under their shawls which are basically cloths draped over their bodies to form long togas. i.e. dresses. usually "gay" men wear regular clothes. but there are those who are eccentric and dress in drag. we shouldn't be quick to judge some one just because of what they are wearing, that's superficial

Donny

11-26-2003, 07:22 AM

lilmizzaudi is right. a guy wearin a skirt doesn't necessarry be a gay, though that is kinda weird. hahaz... dun try that, guys!!!

-+my-memory+-

11-26-2003, 07:30 AM

lolz its true.. juss because a guy wears a skirt it doesn't mean their gay.. its juss so normal for people to judge a person by their appearence that it came into a conclusion of stating that males are gay IF they dress up in skirts.. but i don't find any problems with it....

hmm.i think its ok for a en to wear skirts, if you look at it in th context of cultural aspects. like irsh men they wear skirts too. ok, maybe not really skirts, but just skirts as past of their tradition you know? hmm. i dont like skirts either. bleahg, i like pants, more comfy!

i dun think it is wrong so if they wanna wear it go ahead. however i do think it is yuck! skirts dun really look good on guys. haha

SimpleBlackHumor89

08-29-2004, 06:32 PM

i dont think its' wrong at all.. cos people hav different culture, i kno that if i see a man in a skirt walkin down the street, i'll stare at him, but that's because i've been raised in a society where seeing men in skirts are strange. but if u got to scotland, peole there dont mind at all guys in skirts, cos its' their culture.

rosiean86

08-29-2004, 08:59 PM

I don't think you can say positively that it's wrong for men to wear skirt, because every culture is different. I mean, hey Chinese guys 'he fu' costumes are basically skirts on the bottom. It's just that we were raised to think that it's weird for guys to wear skirts. So no, I don't think it's wrong, you just have to try to understand what kind of culture the man is coming from. But...if the guy was like cross-dressing..that's a different story.

bethie_me

08-29-2004, 10:31 PM

What people choose to wear is never wrong. It may be WEIRD but not wrong. I guess if it's part of their tradition then I don't have anything against it. If they feel comfortable in it then why not?

friends_pt

08-30-2004, 10:53 AM

Well, i don think it's wrong for guys to wear skirts... cos it's like many decades ago, guys are actually the one wearing skirts too... so are the girls... it's only as time pass, for wadeva reasons, guys don wear skirts... n turn up to be like now, guys wearing pants n not skirts... i believe if there is any artist who is gonna wear skirts n start the trend, guys will start to wear it... it's a propagande thingy... haha...

Sha

09-01-2004, 09:15 AM

Uhhh...unless it's a kilt or a sarong and provided they don't wear one all the time, it's ok. But if it's a skirt of any kind then that is sooo wrong.

cicichic06

09-01-2004, 04:38 PM

Yup, I totally agree with you Sha! Yea, I see guys who wear those traditonal kilts and kinda throw up inside. But I guess it's their culture...what can you do?

littleasian

09-01-2004, 10:06 PM

yes. First of all, who wants to see hairy male legs (raise your hand if you want to...scans audience....seens no hands up). Thats just sick.

Second, not only does it make a man look incredibly gay and ridiculous, but it also makes them seem (gasp) feminine. As we all know, men like to be "gangsta" and "macho". Its an inherent part of being male, you just gotta be the biggest and the baddest on the block to prove your manlihood. Thats why you see all these peopel with those really baggy pants/doo-rags/talking like "thugs". A man that is seen as "feminine" is usually considered either "gay" or a (borrowing governator schwarzzenager's term) a "girly man".

And third, think about how uncomfortable it would be to wear a skirt. You wouldn't be able to run, or play sports (unless its one of those mini-skirts...but lets not go there :wacko: ).

so thats it...3 arguments why men shouldn't wear skirts :bow:

The scottish men wearing their traditional skirt is ok but not for normal everyday. I can't imagine a guy wearing a skirt walking along the street. :worry: It just looks very funny and weird. :crazy: Trying to picture that makes me laugh hahahahaha :-)

I know that in some asian countries, men wear something that looks like a skirt which is like sarong. Maybe it's called a sarong too. It's long and you wrap it around the waist. That is ok too.

hahahah yeah I agree with you, when you walk on the street and see a guy wearing a skirt, people will look at him with a strange reaction *surprised* =P I never tried to wear a skirt before, wonder what it feel.... :rolleyes: I should go to Scotland sometimes... joke ^^ Any guys here ever wear it before then walk outside? lol

i think there is a huge difference between female skirts and kilts or any traditional gowns like the wrap around things in southeast asia... sarongs? i have nothing against people wearing kilts, etc. in movies or as tradition or watever, but guys wearing any other form of skirt is rather disturbing.

But I guess there won't be any panty lines...

hehe pei, and that's all that matters!! i mean, how shocking would it be if a guy wore a skirt but forgot to wear a thong with it? *shakes head* what a tragedy that would be!

So Jay doesn't allowed to wear a skirt or sarong lol
anyway I think there is nothing wrong for men to wear some kind of skirt, especially those unidentified sexual hehe

11-08-2004, 07:54 AM

if a guy wants to wear a skirt, let him wear a skirt. it's not "wrong" - i mean, it's not hurting anyone, they're not exposing anything we dont wish to see and they're happy so it's fine! if society can't handle it, it's their problem isn't it?
yeah, but we live in society (except for you and me shay, we roam with the wolves, grrrr)

littleasian .... hairy male legs are consider masculine and "sexy" for some, even in some culture you know? The more you flaunt it... the more you're showing off your masculinity (s/p?).

Second, not only does it make a man look incredibly gay and ridiculous, but it also makes them seem (gasp) feminine. As we all know, men like to be "gangsta" and "macho". Its an inherent part of being male, you just gotta be the biggest and the baddest on the block to prove your manlihood. Thats why you see all these peopel with those really baggy pants/doo-rags/talking like "thugs". A man that is seen as "feminine" is usually considered either "gay" or a (borrowing governator schwarzzenager's term) a "girly man".
You know.... its really how your culture and society dictates you. Back in the 50s in the US, woman were frown upon when they wore pants because it was seen as "manly" and ridiculous... look at women now. :whistle:

11-08-2004, 08:06 AM

seriously i'd rather run around nude than to wear some girly skirt...
1 word, GAY! sorry scottish peeps, but your skirts annoy me a lot,
wait a minute, chinese guys wore skirts for centuries... like those
skirts that go down to the feet, omg no!!! not my ancestors...

but yeah, if i see a guy wearing a skirt, i'd laugh at him infront of him.
and if the skirt was pink, i'd kick him in the balls.

11-08-2004, 09:58 PM

i don't think that anything is 'wrong' and i don't think that it is wrong for men to wear skirts. i mean men wear skirts in scottland and ireland don't they? it may just seem weird or strange to us becasue we do not do it but what we are doing may seem strange to other people from other countries. they might look at us and think we are doing something 'wrong' because the men in our country don't wear skirts. its just that we are not used to it.

zaizai rox

11-19-2004, 07:52 PM

yea definatelty alot of ppl think men in skirts whoa gay but i don;t think there's anything wrong. i mean do girls who wear ties lesbians i know its different with men in skirts but similar concepts. yea it's like different cultures think different;y so yea i think we should just repect other people's differences.

Marvdogg

12-05-2004, 10:23 PM

in the usa id say yes.. that is soo wrong.. like ... well that is nasty.. its like saying do women like to walk around topless... guys wearing skirts is a nasty image.. but in another country thats fine.. as long as it isnt close to me

Shay

12-10-2004, 02:12 PM

yeh i agree we just arent used to it. if we were all more open minded, we wouldnt make a big deal out of a guy wearing a skirt... so i still say, problem lies with us.

hehe guys in kilts can be hot.

in the usa id say yes.. that is soo wrong.. like ... well that is nasty.. its like saying do women like to walk around topless...erm..hmm i dont get the analogy?

charmian

12-10-2004, 02:34 PM

Gah. Its not wrong. Its just that we arent used to the idea of men wearing those skirts. :happy:

But seriously, seeing your usually macho dad wearing skirt isnt such a pretty sight eh? Just make him stick to to usual stuffs. :rasp:

friends_pt

12-10-2004, 06:52 PM

actually i don think it's wrong. afterall guys are actually the one wearin it in the ancient times. but afterwhich it became girls. it depends whether the guys dare to wear it anot. but if wear mini skirts i think it will be kinda weird. so i don think there's anything wrong of them wearing skirts.

kasic_fantasy

12-10-2004, 07:15 PM

hmm i think its quite diao...there is really no wrong or correct in the fashion topic.just wear what you feel its comfortable and what you like...i'm perfectly alright with a guy wearing a skirt.

but the problem now is that everyone thinks that its a must for guys to wear long pants...so i guess no guys in this generation will wanna wear a skirts...its like a mindset already.

rainbowballoon

12-26-2004, 08:25 AM

hmm. do gays wear skirts? :?

Maybe it's a kind of fashion statement, but I don't think it's wrong.. I will just feel it's weird if a guy struts in front of me with his bottom covered with a skirt. :wacko:

but if they like it.. i can't do anything either. :D

Jie_Lun_Rox

12-26-2004, 08:29 AM

as long as they feel comfortable wif it, they can wear anythin they like.. but it wld b weird though.. a guy wearing skirt??!!

natzo

01-20-2005, 02:22 AM

I see nothing wrong with it. It's like how they used to say it's wrong for girls to wear pants. But obviously most guys (in North America, at least) will probably ridicule another guy for wearing a skirt. However, I'm a little concerned if guys start wearing skirts because they have hairy legs.

amdawn

01-20-2005, 04:58 AM

don't mind as long as they look good doing it. leslie cheung did it, nicolas tse did it. the scots done for ages. i think a lot of ancient cultures did; many who wore robes that look like long skirts.

the final word is to wear it tastefully.

jay_chou_

01-20-2005, 06:20 AM

Maybe it might look a bit weird but no I don't think it's wrong for men to wear skirts because they could wear it cos of special occasion or tradition etc. Probably because we're not used to seeing men wearing skirts is why some would make fun of men who do. I have no problem with it as long as they don't start wearing skirts for fashion! lol

jaychou_21

01-21-2005, 10:56 AM

Men in skirts? That's insane!
Unless they're in Scotland,people wouldn't mind.
But in today's modern world,that will be viewed wrong by the majority.
They would raise their eyebrows and give an "immoral" tag to does who does it.
Even gay people don't do it.How much more if 100% straight men do it?
I can do it if people want me to.It's ok with me but how about the rest?
I cannot wear a skirt in public because there are several reasons that would prohibit me.
I can't believe that this world keeps pretending that it had become so politically correct!

twilighthush

01-21-2005, 09:14 PM

Some of this discussion has severely jerked my eyebrow up a step or two in complete shock; dismay; disgust.

Who are we to dictate how people dress? It's absolutely ludicrous that anyone would simply tag on being gay as wearing a skirt. I don't think anyone could possibly get more stereotypical; more shallow; more disrespectful to anyone than that.

As someone who is very integrated in Asian culture, particularly with rock scenes, it's rather a common thing for me to see androgynous rock stars in full makeup, skirts, you name it. And they happen to be some of the straightest guys I've ever come across in my life. I personally have a steadfast belief that any guy who can get into a skirt and wear makeup is a guy that is far more comfortable with himself; with his masculinity (surprisingly) than a guy that's ripped and tries to act all hard when he's just an idiot who doesn't have any amount of depth.

Quite frankly, a guy that'll wear a skirt has far bigger balls than a guy that's always trying to reassure himself of his masculinity by beefing himself up as much as he can and talking like an idiot blockhead.

If we want to cut it down even more: Why the hell do you even CARE? It's not YOUR life, is it? It's not YOUR choice is it? Seriously. >_> Some people need to wake up and realize that something as superficial as skirts is hardly anything to judge people by.

don't mind as long as they look good doing it. leslie cheung did it, nicolas tse did it. the scots done for ages. i think a lot of ancient cultures did; many who wore robes that look like long skirts.

the final word is to wear it tastefully.

THANK YOU. God damn. Seriously.

I mean, everyone worships Nicholas Tse and Leslie Cheung and they've done the entire thing. Leslie was even gay and got up in full makeup, while Nic sported a blue mohawk and eyeliner at one point or another.

It might seem kinda weird for a random non-Scotish person to wear a skirt, but I have no problem with it (the scots are sooo hot in their skirts!!. I remember I was on a field trip one day with my school and this guy and girl traded the bottoms they were wearing, so that the guy was now wearing a skirt and the girl was now wearing the guys pants. The guy got in serious trouble (suspended) of course they did nothing to the girl. That incident really sickend me.

j@y_roCks

04-14-2005, 09:48 AM

Look, in schools, why do girls wear skirts and guys have their long pants?
I think... it's because guys have their hairy legs from puberty... That's why they wear long pants... Can u imagine guys with hairy legs wearing a skirt?

Also, while ur mind is still wondering how men looks like with a (mini) skirt, can you please take a look at their leg muscles, that most girls don't have? Won't it be atrocious to see those sticking out visible muscles in their leg, with hairs... when wearing a skirt? ??

It's the image to impress someone, so and therefore, image is a very important issue... That's why I am emphasizing so much on image of a guy... when wearing a skirt... Won't that be funny, like a clown.. lol?

Nevertheless, it's still the men's choice to wear or not to wear (the skirt)... It's their own business afterall.

nope i dun think there's anything wrong wif men wearing skirts...ppl always talk about wanting to achieve equality btwn men and women, thusi think that ppl out there shld spare some thoughts for men too...so if they want to wear skirts, let them do so....

abcd

04-25-2005, 07:22 AM

well like some of you said, it is kinda strange for a guy to weak a skirt but i think they should be able to do it if they want to without being criticized or be offended....
the whole thing that guys should wear pants and girls should weak skirts is very old school and since girls can wear skirts and pants, why cant guys also wear skirts and pants...

-zhoujielunrocks

04-25-2005, 07:27 AM

i dont think there's anything wrong with men wearing skirts. what simms said is rather true. their big muscles and hairy legs, it doesnt look well with a skirt. but also, from young, boys already dont wear skirt so its not a habit and like suddenly a boy wears a skirt, it will be really funny.

but maybe if from old tradition, boys wear skirt, i guess it isnt really that bad if boys wear skirts NOW. but still, yeaaa, its a boy's decision whether they wanna wear or not. (:

well the scots were big and hairy and still pulled off a mean skirt look *coughmelgibsoninbraveheart*
i love the tartan patterns tho

princessKitty

05-17-2005, 04:04 PM

i thinkits wrong for a guy te be in skirts. it looks wrong and not masculine.it may make a male look weak and girly. if a man wanted to look girly, then i think make up is more suitable than wearing a skirt. that is how i prefer it.

hideezhiding

06-15-2005, 07:53 AM

well if u asked me this question when i was 8 and didn't stay in England for the whole summer , i would prolly say only queers do that..but after seeing those scotties wear that...its not that bad after all. and after seeing your bf wearing your pink shirt. :glug: ..everything a guy wears is normal! :D

KendoTiger

06-16-2005, 05:47 AM

It depends ~ like, if he's just walking around town wearing it because he likes the airflow more than shorts.... well, it's more weird than anything ~

Imagine a big hairy dude wearing a short pink skirt ~ isn't it a little, uncomfortable to be around?

mistyblur

06-16-2005, 10:22 AM

guys can wear skirts.. but i think they shouldnt wear SHORT skirts.. it will look quite disgusting.. showing off there long stout legs.. haha.. don't u think so..

mrazfan4ever

06-16-2005, 04:34 PM

We had this huge debate at our school too :)

I personally don't think I get distracted from it...but a lot of people are. And if it's any distraction for students, then I say take them away. But then again, our girls at our school can wear extra short skirts...so I mean, guys can express themselves too?

Well, one way to end this is take away both guys with skirts and girls with extra short skirts.

Hm...

KendoTiger

06-17-2005, 04:02 AM

But see, when a girl sits, she crosses her legs ~ so having a skirt isn't that bad.

When a guy sits....yeah ~

I think that's where the distraction would come in. Everyone would be like (<o<)(o_o)( >o>) *must avoid terrible sight*

Minosaki

06-17-2005, 04:18 AM

It strongly depends on the situation...If a scottish guy wears skirts...(nothing is wrong)...if a guy wearing skirt along a busy street...(that's very very wrong!) so it depends on the situation... :wave:

souLvamP

08-12-2005, 02:11 PM

i dont think its wrong for guys to wear skirts...but it is pretty weird to see it because it isn't that common. guys might be afraid to be dubbed "gay" just because they wear female clothing. How come girls can wear guy clothing as well and nothing really bad will happen, but if a guy wears a skirt they become an outcast. it shouldn't be wrong. whatever a person is comfortable with wearing.

~ChinGLiSh<33

08-12-2005, 11:39 PM

i dont think it's wrong. people should be able to express themselves freely...even if it means a man wearing a skirt. there is no rule against it either. men just don't wear them.
this reminds me of the time this male student at my school wore a prom dress to school. the teachers wanted to get him in trouble but he wasnt violating any dress-code rules. haha!!!

I'd wear a skirt at the blink of an eye. But that's me. I'm so hot in girls' clothing.

HarmonyCloud

08-24-2005, 06:33 AM

I think saying its "wrong" for men to wear skirts isn't the right term, I think a better term is skirts just don't do anything for guys, I mean guys legs aren't shaped to be shown off in skirts, it makes them look awkward, so basically I am not saying its not, not okay for a guy to wear skirts, just the guy wont look to appealing in it...

liwei_jay

08-24-2005, 06:56 AM

lolz...
some of your POVs r so cute.....
anyway.. i think it would look funny for guys to wear skirts..
well... maybe long ones would be ok.. since u won't see anything.. o_O
but if the short ones...
i think i would freak out.. :glug: hahaha..
i couldn't imagine seeing the way they sit or climb stairs..
or their leg hairs.. lols..
maybe those legs who r hairless might look good.. lolss...

zhoudaoyan

08-30-2005, 01:55 PM

Scottish people don't really wear skirts all the time do they?? its only for traditional purposes.
Well if a guy wants to wear a skirt he's more than welcome to!
haha i would probably applaud him for being brave and not being affected by the thoughts of other people. which is really good.
So its not really wrong..
just..
wierd??
because the people of the modern world aren't used to it. this doesnt mean that they cant.

pamujung

08-30-2005, 02:11 PM

Yes, Scottish do wear skirt in their traditional occasional.

And people in Myanmar also wear some kind of skirt, not exactly but it's in the shaped of skirt anyway.

Weird but not wrong, but be concern where you wearing the skirt :rolleyes:

Dita511

08-31-2005, 01:10 AM

haha I definitely don't think it's wrong for men to wear skirts, although they should only do it if they have the right figure for it!!! Fatty men or people with hairy/non-thin legs look hideous in a dress!!

I should know, I dressed up in a miniskirt and holter top for a senior high school art video my friend was making, and I looked terrible! It was really embarrassing too cause I broke my friend's mum's shoes, and one of my old art teachers recognised me in the video when it was displayed in an art gallery haha :p

kelsai

11-15-2005, 06:53 AM

i think that its pretty cool guys in skirts.. and maybe that sight of them crossing their legs isnt TOO bad huehue :wink2: it shows they are comfortable with themselves, because loads of other guys i think would give them crap about it. what to u think about Tsubasa Imai he wears skirts and i think he looks pretty darn cool myself :-) maybe hes gna set a new trend for the streets~ why can girls dress like men, but men cant dress like girls and get the same level respect?? just something to think about */- kelsai.

i think it might be weird but nothin wrong with it... lemme tell you 5 men i saw wearing skirts that is still cool.... 1) andy lau 2)Eo2... i know this because i saw the tvb's anniversary for all singers 2005... lol they were all wearin man skirts... i mean its nothing wrong... just weird... btw i heard some guys say they like the breeze... hahha!``

josh_yth

11-16-2005, 01:23 AM

no, it's not really wrong for men to wear skirt, but if that guy wear mini skirt, there must be sumthing wrong with that guy.
Also, the Scottish ppl wear skirt as their tradition, and i just have seem some of them wear skirt at school(exchange student from Scotland),and it's pretty cool too.

jo_jayfan

11-16-2005, 01:29 AM

hahahahs. im not very comfortable with the idea though. but of cos im alright with scottish ppl wearing skirts :D apart from them, i dun see the need for guys to wear skirts? if they're trying to look good.. then they are kinda heading the wrong way :/ hahas.

just my opinion! :D

AngelicTheory

11-16-2005, 05:59 AM

I suppose it's okay.

But some would find it offensive. Including this english teacher at my highschool. We have powderpuff games where the guys get to be cheerleaders. They USED to wear skirts while being "cheerleaders" for the game until she started to protest against it. Lame.

Azns_Ang3l

11-22-2005, 01:41 AM

no its not wrong but there's something wrong with that dude then lol if the skirt is above the knee im gonna be like whoaaaa lol seriously those kind of skirts well i just dont want to go there but guys would feel comfortable in skirts lol

jayfalc0n

11-27-2005, 09:02 AM

No I don't think its wrong for men to wear skirts. If it was wrong for men to wear skirts, wouldnt it be wrong for women to wear pants? lol its all about equality isnt it. If a man is brave enough to wear a skirt, then its up to him isn't it? Clothes are a small matter anyway.

KendoTiger

Actually if you think about it, by saying that it's wrong for men to wear skirts, it's kind of a double standard isn't it? Since girls can now wear pants without drawing any flak. After all, pants has historically only been worn by the males. And I supposed that initially, when women started wearing pants, it probably looked weird.

But then again, I don't see any reasons why guys are going to start wearing skirts. Pants are comfortable and convenience so I supposed that's why women started wearing them.

POTO

12-05-2005, 08:59 AM

I don't think that it is wrong for men to wear skirts, i mean if they like it, then why not?

However, the common perceptions of the public are that man who wear skirts are gay so maybe guys might want to give it a second thought before deciding on really wearing a skirt in public. But it is not wrong on the whole.

chineseguyjl

12-05-2005, 09:23 AM

Its not wrong its just nasty to see. The only guys that wear skirts are the scotish (right? i forget) (bagpipe players), and transvestites. Its the persons choice to wear it or not, there is no law against males wearing such attire. its just that different people do have different prespectives.

agree, great point... no reason to wear skirts... for men... i mean.. do they want to show off their hairy legs? guess not... it's not as if they have smooth long legs...

hydeist

12-28-2005, 06:55 AM

Alright, firstly...Scottish men wear kilts, and it's traditional Scottish Highland clothing. I'm sorry if it seems overly picky, but it was driving me crazy that it was being called a skirt.

Secondly, I just don't understand why others should dictate what a person does or does not wear. Clothing is a personal choice, a statement of who we are, or how we want to appear to others. I don't believe that the opinion of the public should determine one's clothing. Honestly, out of all the things that you could be finding out about people, does anyone really want to linger only on appearances?
Also, as it has been brought up before, this is quite a double standard. If men "can't" wear skirts, should women stop wearing pants as well? I say that if there are men comfortable enough with their bodies and their sexuality to wear what's considered female clothing, then good for them!
As for preferring only men with good or shapely legs wearing skirts...The same could be said of women. Not all women have great legs either, but that certainly doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to wear what they want.

Sure, a guy wearing a skirt seems strange and out-of-the-norm in this day and age, but it was just as controversial when women began to wear pants and tuxedoes, or when the glam punk look was in.
Thinking outside of the box and learning to adapt is a necessary skill, whether it applies to clothing choice or foreign policies. We could all be a lot more accepting of others...So, er, yes. If men want to wear skirts, kilts, or dresses, all the more power to them. I'll stop rambling now.

dude000

01-03-2006, 06:56 AM

yes it is definately wrong for men to wear skirts unles sur form scotland. well thats my opinion. but dont take it offensive. its ok if they do it, but please, dont wear it out in the streets, your just gonna humiliate yourself.

ch3rri3

04-02-2006, 01:59 PM

Technically speaking, I dont think there is anything wrong with men wearing skirt. But it really depends on where you come from and you culture. For example, if a Scottish guy comes to Taiwan and wears skirt, people wont say anything because they know its their culture's clothing style. But if a Taiwanese guy himself wears skirt, people will begin to question themselves whether this guy is just being weird or a gay. That's what I think...

DragonPrince

04-04-2006, 05:11 AM

Men in skirts are so sexy. Brad Pitt wore a skirt in one movie- Troy.

In Scotland, men wore skirts on important or special events. I don't mind eyeing on sexy hairy legs.

babyxv

04-05-2006, 05:19 AM

Of course it's not wrong. There's no rule that says only females can wear skirts. It's only weird to the average person because it's uncommon.

pengypeace

04-05-2006, 05:26 AM

tHAT WOULD be really different but some people do so thats okay but just hope you dont do that in front of people! Well, its the inside that counts not the things you wear so its okay just dont try to do it often!

-vIt-

04-05-2006, 09:07 AM

well i won't consider it as wrong, but it's just been in the culture for so long, and when you see a man wearing skirts, you will automatically think it's strange

mliza

04-22-2006, 03:46 PM

if you meant skirts like the regular ones women wear, it's not wrong, just weird. but if all men started wearing skirts, it wouldn't be weird anymore. just highly unlikely to happen any time soon.

:D

lil~jo

04-23-2006, 01:02 AM

No I actually don't think so.
Its all due to all this sterotypical thoughts and ideals of what men and women should wear.

Like ladies couldn't wear shorts and pants before, but as mliza said, when everyone started it became normal.

SO yeah, ideally, they shouldn't at the moment because everyone would think of them as sissy, But if no one starts, the thought of it being sissy will continue to exist. Just like, males can't play netball and wear makeup.

omg..... omg.. first of all..
Scottish.. KILTS .. its called a Kilt.. not skirt haha. although its the same thing. HHey i dont have any grudges about a guy wearing a skirt....
As long as hes scottish and its absolutely necesarry,
I could NEVER and will NEVER wear a skirt..
Pants all the way. Hell i feel apprehensive just wearing shorts..
And the "Skirts" that Gladiators wear are made of leather and they are lower and less Flappy. Plus they only wear it cause its easier to move and Women wore dresses back then ^^"
Yeah sorry haha

No Guy wears skirts.. cept the Scottish ^^"
