From “The Gentlemen”
A recent commenter had this to say about skirts, be encouraged!
Ladies
You can’t imagine what a pleasure it is to hear that so many women seem to enjoy wearing skirts and dresses.
I’d come across this site because I was so disenchanted with clothing choices women made these days. Skimming through a number of the entries posted it is such a delight to see that you find feminine clothing so easy, comfortable and enjoyable to wear.
I’m not being sexist when I say that, as a guy, I find myself being more courteous to women of any age when they wear skirts or dresses. It’s not sexist, it’s the way we’re made. You look so gentle, feminine and pretty that any reasonable man finds that he’d do anything to brighten your day just a tad. A lot of guys aren’t really attracted to what looks like a female version of themselves.
I guess us guys tend to “filter” women in jeans and pants as being like the rest of the guys and we’ll treat them that way. So if you’re a girl/woman and you have any doubts then please think twice before you put on jeans/slacks. As I said, any REASONABLE people will likely treat you very nicely (you may get a few ignorant remarks from feminists and people who are just plain sloppy). And you’ll be increasing the amount of respect that feminine dress and behaviour should be given rather than the crass, loud and sloppy ways that the world seems to encourage.
Keep being feminine – you can’t imagine what a powferul and positive influence you have and I hope you’ll have a fun and enjoyable time doing so.

This definitely was an awesome encouragement! Thanks for posting it Christa! And thanks to whoever wrote it!
It’s always wonderful to hear it from a guy’s perspective.
This is good to hear
How great to see a guy’s opinion on this! I think most of us notice the difference in how we are treated when dressed in feminine clothes, but it’s nice seeing it written out like that. So encouraging
Very well written and extremely insightful.
Ladies
It was curiosity that made me drop by this site again and I’m so glad I did! It seems that the few encouraging sentences I wrote made the headlines. It’d been a horrible day at work and when I saw the responses to my entry, well, that changed everything. What a diference you had made to my day! Thank you!
Some women out there in the world are looking for equality (at the very least) with men. What they may have overlooked is that by abandoning their feminine ways they lose what power/influence they may have.
What power/influence? Well, there was a dark November evening about eight years ago and a young woman had found her car with a flat tyre. It was pouring with rain. She was wearing a long skirt with pleats that went all the way round (terrific ^_^). How could I allow her to spoil such classically pretty clothes changing the wheel? Her wheel got changed. I caught a cold. A number of months later we were married.
At the risk of causing an upset, maybe you single girls could use the old flat-tyre at church to make a fortuitous acquaintance (!)
To be feminine is a quality that inclines men to want to serve you, as I said in my previous post. A girl who wants to wear a skirt or dress SHOULD NOT HAVE to open doors when loaded with shopping, change flat tyres etc.
There are few things to improve the day better than helping a real, feminine woman.
I can’t encourage you enough to keep doing what you’re doing.
Those men who live and work around you are EXTREMELY fortunate.
lol, I just may have to try that “flat tire” bit- who knows what miraculous events could occur!
Thanks again, for your encouraging exhortation- feel free to come visit us again.
In fact, perhaps you (and your wife) would like to be a guest blogger in the future? You obviously have some excellent things to say-
Sincerely,
Christa Taylor
Gentleman, thanks for the encouragement! The story about how you met your wife…..so cool! Maybe I should try the flat tire thing!
I am thankful to God for the heritage and training that I’ve had. I love dressing femininely!!!!
What I want my clothing to say:
1. Modest
2. Feminine
3. Attractive
4. Simple yet Elegant
Anne
How admirable! The terrific thing about your motive is that a man can talk to or look at you without feeling guilty. And you don’t feel like he’s sizing you up like a slice of meat.
How charming ^_^ Again I’ll say how this can positively encourage any decent men to be accommodating and amienable in all their dealings with you. And quite rightly so.
Enjoy ^_^
Ladies,
I have you to thank again. I’d like to think that God would be quite impressed by all those of you who have been contributing to this site and I’d like to tell you why:-
Since discovering your website I’ve felt convicted about my walk with God and my behaviour at home. You have helped me to remember how important my wife is and the significant part she has in my life.
Because of all you ladies, I’ve made a conscious effort to treat my wife with the same gentleness, kindness, good humour and crazyness that I did when we were dating. The effects are beginning to show already – my wife is reciprocating in her behaviour. For example: yesterday I returned from work to find my wife with her hair fixed ina way that I particularly like and wearing a long green skirt! WOOW!!! How lovely it was to see her after living in a ‘blue collar’ world all day! ^_^
See?! Your ‘girl power’ has been working on me ^_^. Your feminine manner and behaviour have already had a positive effect for women beyond your acquaintance. That’s how influential a genuine, Godly, feminine girl/woman can be.
You all seem to have a kind of beauty that is more than a pretty face or glossy hair. Your feminine clothes and apparently fun-loving manner are an outward sign of something special coming from inside. I believe God Would be delighted by that, especially as he speaks of this kind of thing in His word.
I have read in more than one post somewhere that some of you love to twirl in your skirts and dresses. How enchanting!! My wife does this sometimes! It’s hypnotic! Get someone to photograph/film you so that you can see how great you look! ^_^ And be sure to keep it so you can remember how much fun it can be to be a girl. Something that us guys can never be a part of but will always be spellbound and astonished by.
Be glad and take credit for working a positive change in me. Marriage can sometimes be more like “Beauty and the Beast”, but thanks to all of you I’ve a chance to make mine more like “Cinderella and Prince Charming” again.
Thank you.
Thanks for all the encouragement. It’s great to hear all this from a guys perspective!
Too bad about the guys not beingable to twirl in skirts… it’s just so much fun!
Maybe you should start a blog yourself, that would be pretty rockin’. I bet a bunch of the girls who have been reading Christa’s blog would start reading yours as well. I know I would!
BTW, We would all love it if you would take Christa up on that offer of being a guest blogger with your wife.
Have a blessed day!
It would be nice if this had been true in my life…one horrifying day in seventh grade, I sat down on my bus in an extremely modest skirt, and put my knees on the seat in front of me. On this day, however, my skirt , which was very full, flipped up and revealed part of my leg. A much older student slid across the aisle to my seat and began propositioning me for indecent acts I didn’t know existed. This humiliating experience continued for weeks, regardless of what I was wearing, until that student moved away. (The nightmares stopped awhile later.) Had I been wearing jeans, this never would have happened.
In college, I was whistled at precisely once in all four years. I was wearing a mid-calf skirt and a baggy polo shirt at the time.
Just last Sunday, I went into a grocery store to buy rock salt while still dressed for church. Many men watched as I struggled to carry the bags to the car, dropping them more than once. No one offered to help.
I still wear skirts, probably more than I wear pants, but I have never felt that I have been treated better in a skirt. In fact, I have often been treated worse.
KJ
It’s such a shame to hear you’ve had some bad experiences. Full skirts are so deliciously pretty! ^_^ As a teenager on that bus I might have raised an eyebrow at you and said something predictablly immature like, “Pretty legs!” – but that would have been the beginning and end of it. If a girl has an “accident” that can’t be ignored, folks should maybe have a sympathetic laugh and then forget about it. It’d be nice to believe that fool you encountered was an exception to the usual hormone-flooded adolescents you find in school.
Being whistled at in college and having no help in the car-park? It reflects badly on us men that you were treated that way. KJ, I’m glad you haven’t been entirely discouraged from wearing the clothes you want. That’s terrific! ^_^ Weak-minded guys shouldn’t have that kind of effect/power on others.
Maybe one of the reasons why us men are often viewed little respect is because we don’t behave respectably. 0_0 And maybe that’s why some women think that jeans’d be more appropriate for that quick run down to the store. Such a shame. It pains me to say that many of us men haven’t learnt enough good manners to help a woman get through her day with a little dignity. If they did then maybe a lot more girls would express themselves as femininely as they’d like to.
Which would have to be a good thing … ^_^
That is so great to hear. As soon as I’m walking again and can get to my closet, I plan to get rid of all my immodest clothes (my clothing now is pretty modest, but not as modest as I want) and, when I can afford, get more skirts and other feminine clothing. I’m planning on posting a blog post titled “what you wear- charming him …or seducing him?”. When I get to the point where I’m old enough/mature enough to court, I want to charm him with my personality, rather than seduce him with my clothing, or lack-there-of. And skirts…well, they’re perfect for that =)
And Gentleman, you have me grinning ear-to-ear. There should be more men like you out there!
KJ- ugh, some people… especially the kids! I feel for you…in sixth grade I had five stress fractures in my spine from kids pushing me around, not because I was in a skirt, but because I was ill and could not fight back, not to mention I was overweight from the medications and had to wear male clothing because they didn’t have collared shirts the dress code demanded in female clothing. But it made it easy to know who my true friends were, because they were the ones who made sure to stop by my locker daily to make sure I was okay, even if it made them late for class.
I think also it’s a way to know that you’ve got a good guy, is when he goes out of his way to not be like…rather, going out of his way to be a gentleman, where, say if you only wore tight flamboyant jeans, you may not notice the charming guy who’s not staring at your behind. I’m making no sense, am I? I didn’t get much sleep last night, but I hope you get what I’m saying.
Dear KJ, I’m so sorry to hear of your unfortunate experiences. Thankfully, that’s not the norm, otherwise none of us would be wearing skirts.
Thank you, Gentlemen, for your encouraging word! I’ll certainly be wearing more skirts in the future.
Thank you, Gentleman, for your encouraging words! May you and your wife me blessed!
Thanks for your words of encouragement, Gentleman!
Maybe you should start a blog yourself, that would be pretty rockin’. I bet a bunch of the girls who have been reading Christa’s blog would start reading yours as well. I know I would! BTW, We would all love it if you would take Christa up on that offer of being a guest blogger with your wife.
I agree with Kirsten Erin!!^^^
Wow! It was sooo great to read about the “new” ways in which God is leading you to treat your wife! “My advice is, go all out!” (That’s a line from Fireproof!:) http://www.fireproofthemovie.com)
God bless you!
Dear Gentleman,
Thank you so much for your encouraging words!! I’ve had some negative experiences while in skirts as well, not as bad as KJ, but, nevertheless…it wasn’t something that encouraged me. After wearing skirts exclusively for about 2 months at school, one day I put on a pair of loose jeans and a guy told me it was refreshing to see me in pants instead of a skirt.
There’s another guy at school who kind of mocks me for them. I can’t tell you how encouraging it is to hear you say what you said…it encourages me to wear skirts all the time, despite the pressure to give up and just wear pants. Secular schools aren’t the most encouraging, when it comes to wearing skirts all the time, unfortunately. I have been treated better most of the time, such as guys have hurried to open a door for me when in a skirt…and they were guys that don’t always open doors for girls as a general rule, as I’ve observed. I do love being treated like a lady and that’s why I started wearing skirts more in the first place!
I love your wife’s and your story…so neat! Maybe I’ll do the flat-tire thing too. LOL!
She’s very blessed to have a man like you for her husband! 
Again, thanks so very much for the encouraging words…I’ll keep those in mind next time I go to get dressed in the morning. I would definitely read your blog too, if you chose to take one up.
God bless!

What a pleasure it is to know you’ve taken so much encouragement in this! This all started as a few simple remarks to encourage you all, but it seems to have ’snow-balled’. The subject of being at liberty to express yourselves as femininely as you would like, particularly in the use of skirts and dresses, seems to be close to many hearts.
Whenever I check in at this site I find myself delighted and surprised at the number of ladies and girls who seem to find themselves increasingly liberated to be what they are:- ladies and girls. It’s such a shame that some guys (or even other girls) have such a “masculinized” view of being female that they find skirts/dresses inappropriate.
Wearing skirts for 2 months!? ^_^ Oh WOOOW!! Fantastic! Don’t be discouraged by any of those guys at school; maybe they have that masculinzed view of girls. Interesting that one guy should comment about your change to a pair of jeans – it shows he’d noticed you. Interesting. As for the other one who mocked you, strange that anyone would challenge a girl for wearing a nice skirt instead of pants – it’d be like mocking a guy for wearing pants instead of a skirt(!) Skirts are for girls to wear if they want to…. If I were teenager, far from rejecting you, I’d give you any reasonable excuse to be included in the gang.
It’s good to hear that, in general terms, you’re shown a bit more courtesy when you’re gliding down the corridors dressed as a girl. Those guys that run ahead to get the door for you are just great! Long may it contiue!!
I learnt how to treat ladies/girls from my dad; anyone who’s been at the sharp end of two wars and come out mostly intact has probably come to understand a few things. One thing he said was that a lot of ladies/girls dread been seen clumsy, stupid or in any undignified. A decent guy can think of doing things like helping the lady put on a coat, or be seated at a restaurant, walking on the *outside* of the sidewalk and getting the door for her to remove the danger of any “clumsy” accidents, such as getting a skirt trapped in a door ! 0_o Our reward is that we get to see you breezing and floating around looking so pretty. Enchanting….
You say my wife must be blessed. Well, there are times when – to be brutally honest – I have to question that. And so would my wife! ^_^ But God’s doing a great work in all of us. (“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it; even until the day of salvation”). I’m FAR from perfect – in many ways. Thank God that we can change – with His help.
How delighted I am to think you’re so encouraged and intend to continue with your skirts! There’s nothing wrong with jeans and slacks, but it’s hard to make them look as pretty. Skirts and dresses can so often flatter a girl no matter how she’s built. And you can’t do any of those crazy, intoxicating twirls in jeans! ^_^ The guys around you are so fortunate to have a real lady to set the standard.
There’s a saying, “Quality never goes out of style…” A godly, feminine girl is a high-quality one. How can she ever be out of style?
Have fun
Hello, everyone…
I just wanted to pop in and say that I just wrote a post on skirts at my blog, and I’d love to get some comments.
God bless!
Hannah
Hey Hannah, I tried to comment, but it informed me that I had to sign up for an account?
Hmm–that’s odd. Did you make sure and click the “anonymous” button? I think that’s the only way to comment if you aren’t already on homeschoolblogger.
I hope that helps!
This whole post makes me smile (except for the unhappy experiences some people have had! I feel for you *hug*).
Gentleman:
I just sort of stumbled across this whole skirt post, and DUDE!!! This is really inspiring!!!
If decent, reasonable men really think the way you say they do (unless you’re just an extraordinary exception), then–well, AWESOME!!! I had no idea they thought that way. I haven’t worn skirts on a regular basis since I was little, because pants just always seemed so much more convenient; but, you know, I’d forgotten how nice it feels to wear a skirt! I think I’ll start doing it more often! I haven’t twirled in a skirt since I was really little, either, but since you brought it up, I tried it– and, you know, it is fun! I’d forgotten. So thank you for the inspiration!
And thank you for being a true gentleman.
God bless!

It continues to surprise me how the few encouraging comments I’ve made have encouraged a growing number of girls to be, well, just girls.
People like you are also an encouragment to men; it shows that not all women think that it’s okay to be a female version of us.
It’s hard to put down in writing how beautiful a dignified, feminine woman can be (beautiful in this case does not mean “physically attractive”). There’s something so rewarding about even a simple, everyday encounter with such a lady that defies explanation and leaves one feeling enriched in some way. Like feeling the sun on your back or walking into a dark room and opening the curtains, an encounter with a feminine girl brings warmth and colour.
Another thing that is encouraging is that in not so many years my son might have a chance to meet someone who will be so beautifully and no doubt gracefully opposite to him ^_^
I hope I’m not an extraordinary exception. A lot of guys have preferences for the way they think a lady should look, but I’ve never heard one say he was disappointed at the sight of a woman in a skirt or a dress.
We go square dancing regularly (some people say it’s for old folks – not in our experience) and there you will see men who might be hurt to think they were anything less than gentlemanly in their behaviour towards the ladies. As a consequence, the ladies feel that they CAN be feminine in that atmosphere and they take it to the max with their brightly coloured blouses, skirts and dresses complete with luxurious petticoats. A lot of times the ladies will twirl, swish or flourish their skirts just for the sheer fun of it! The petti’s, apart from making the dresses/skirts look even prettier, prevent too much from going on show. The ladies have got us guys wrapped around their little-finger(!) – we wouldn’t want to be anything but gentlemen lest we see and end to such charming encounters.
I’m so pleased you had such fun in your skirt. What was it like? Did it make you feel like a little girl again? I’ll bet it was worth it just for that feeling! ^_^
Men are doomed! How are we ever going to engage in our own selfish persuits withso many ladylike girls to distract us? ^_^
Have fun
Hehe! The other day I taught my 18 month old neice how to twirl in her skirt. She liked seeing mine twirl and copied me.
It brought a smile to my face. I loved it!
She also wants to carry a purse now. She can hardly speak and sees grandma, mommy, and auntie kirsten carrying one. She tried to carry mine, but it was almost bigger than her, so it kinda dragged along the floor behind her. I found an old small one that she was excited about wearing.
Gotta love little ones. I call her a “little lady” now.
Gentleman:
I couldn’t resist thanking you just one more time! (Besides, I really wasn’t expecting such a long, lovely response!) I don’t think you know just how powerful an impact your “few encouraging comments” have had on my view of femininity as a whole. See, up until recently, one of my greatest fears was of being seen by others as a “girlie-girl”. I (for some reason!) associated the word “feminine” with a ditz in bright pink ruffles who cried if she broke a nail, and I wanted none of that! So I went the for the opposite extreme; for years, my favourite thing to wear was baggy jeans and a huge, baggy sweat-shirt, preferably black or grey- very unfeminine! I never imagined that any one else would care two straws how I dressed (except for the more-than-a-few times that my dad expressed disappointment when I would change out of my skirt as soon as I possibly could when we got home from church on Sunday; but I always thought that that was just my dad, and that he was just weird).
It’s only recently, and in large part thanks to your posts, that I’ve realized that there is a happy medium- I don’t have to be tomboy in order to not be a super-girlie ditz; I don’t have to be ultra-tough and self-sufficient in order to not be a total weakling-cry-baby; and that just wearing a simple skirt and blouse isn’t going to give me that crying-for-attention ditz appearance I still hate, anyway! I can’t beleive it took me this long to realize that! And it might have taken me even longer if weren’t for this site (thank-you, Christa-Taylor!) and these posts! You’ve really opened up my eyes to the (for me) whole new world of ladies and gentlemen, and how things SHOULD be.
I only own two skirts right now that I actually wear, and only one of them is really nice, but my new goal is to stock up on some more nice, long skirts (I really only like them ankle-length) and a bit more feminine-looking clothing, before I start college in the fall.
From a slightly different perspective, you said in one of your earlier posts that “to be feminine is a quality that inclines men to want to serve you”; I always thought that men behaved like gentlemen toward women just because they had been trained that way– but you mean to say that oftentimes they do it because they actually just want to? That the ladies have you guys wrapped around their little fingers, and YOU DON’T MIND???!
Anyway– yes, when I put on a skirt and twirled around for the first time in I don’t know how many years, it was definitely worth it for the feeling! It brought me back to when I was five years old and would go play in the mud in the park in my nicest Sunday dress! (So, you see, I wasn’t ALWAYS such an anti-girlie tomboy!)
Thank-you, Christa-Tayor, and Gentleman, whoever you are! May God bless you, and your families!
from,
Maria
P.S. I’ve never been to a square dance, or even seen it, but it sounds like fun!
Maria
I have to say that I’ve been quite dumb-struck at your recent answer. Isn’t it amazing what some well-chosen words can do for someone? It’s also a sobering thought at how destructive words can be as well (I believe God has a few things to say about this in the early chapters of James). T
here have been few encouraging things lateley, but the discovery that there are girls/ladies out there who WANT to be feminine has been very good medicine. To think that the ‘tom-boy’ you once described yourself as might get a kick out of doing those ‘girl’ things again is just out of this world! There’s always room for another feminine girl! ^_^ (There’s certainly too few ‘manly’ men – we could use a bunch more of them too).
Maria, you described your fear of what ‘feminine’ might mean above. Your reaction is quite understandable, but the type of girl you mention might be more accurately described as hysterical, self-centred, plain helpless. Maybe the world makes a girl feel the need to act like a tom-boy because it has a wrong understanding of what ‘feminine’ is? How many un-feminine girls have you met that are just as helpless as the kind you feared? Any? More than one maybe? I guess only you’ll be able to answer that question. I’d be willing to lay down a few bucks to say that your father’d be pleased with the increasingly feminine girl that you’re becoming! ^_^
You’re too-right when you say that you “don’t have to be tomboy” or “ultra-tough and self-sufficient” to compensate for being feminine. Regular folks shouldn’t see you that way. There
are times when you may have to be forceful or persistent to accomplish something, but hopefully that won’t have to be the norm’.
You correctly said again, “wearing a simple skirt and blouse isn’t going to give me that crying-for-attention ditz appearance”. It couldn’t be said better! How the world needs more people like you! ^_^
As for getting some more skirts I hope your dad’ll back you on that as well. See if you can persuade him; from what you say I’m sure he’ll agree. How do I know? Because I’m only too happy to let my daughter have skirts if it gives her an alternative to jeans ^_^. We were in a department store recently; my wife and daughter both tried on a dress. Both of them looked sensational. Both of them looked at me. I headed for the cashier’s desk and reached for my wallet ^_^ What a pleasure that was…
You were saying that you “always thought that men behaved like gentlemen toward women just because they had been trained that way”. Well, in certain respects that’s very true; our manners toward women depends on our upbringing to some extent – I’d learnt from my mom, schoolteachers and dad (mentioned in an earlier post)
You further asked if men are helpful/gentlemanly because they ** want ** to be more than they’ve been trained to be. Absolutely correct. It’s so rewarding to receive any appreciation from a feminine girl for some small favour. As I’d said in an earlier post: “…it’s the way we’re made. You look so gentle, feminine and pretty that any reasonable man finds that he’d do anything to brighten your day just a tad”. We don’t mind. A female face with a smile on it is a picture. ^_^ And I guess that’s why we can sometimes be said to be “wrapped around your little fingers”.
You don’t have to be tough. And you don’t have to be a tom-boy. Just be a girl. And maybe you might find guys will appreciate you that way.
As for the twirling thing, isn’t it great to feel like a kid again!? And the beautiful thing is you don’t have to be a kid to get a kick out of doing it!
Be blessed.
Have fun
By the way, if you get a chance to go, it might be worth trying a square dance. It can be a lot of good clean fun to learn and no one will ‘climb all over you’ for looking pretty.
Sometimes the music can be a little bit ‘country’, but if you can handle that you might have a nice time.
Gentleman
I’ve actually taken extensive lessons in “contra” dancing several years back- it is fun!
Gentleman:
Thanks so much for answering all my questions!
I can’t say that I really know any girls who are “un-feminine”, and yet just as whiny and helpless as the kind I feared. Most of the girls I have known have been more on the “girlie” side (which is possibly partly what I was rebelling against– trying to be different from them).
I think “the world” has the wrong idea about a lot of things, and femininity is definitely one of them; you see it in the movies and the rest of the media all the time. They teach girls that to be feminine means wearing immodest clothes and using their bodies to get what they want; true lady-like qualities are shunned. They also tend to give the impression that to show a need for help or protection from anyone (especially men!) is somehow degrading. (I hate it in movies when the heroine is super good at self-defense, and can lay a half dozen guys out flat in a matter of seconds. It’s so unrealistic!)
Anyway– I certainly don’t need to do any persuading to get my dad to back me on the skirt thing! He loves it when women wear skirts, and was very happy when I told him I wanted to get more into that again.
If a square dance is anything like a contra dance, I’m sure I would enjoy it, if I ever get the chance; I went to a contra dance once, and loved it!
Thanks again, and God bless!
Maria
It’s so great to know that there are people like you who can see right through all that media and Hollywood glamour. Films and other media often seem to put across the message that men are normally irresponsible/weaklings needing the ladies to come to their rescue.
The sad truth is, out there in the world, many men are do have a cavalier attitude towards responsibilities and towards women.
The result may be that women will feel they have to compensate for the lack of men who should take the lead in everyday matters. And I guess the first things to go will be those winsome, feminine ways in your manner and dress.
So, just as Adam may have had a certain amount of responsibility for allowing Eve to find herself in a compromising situation, maybe men (over many years) have been responsible for the ladies having to dispense with some of the things that make them so appealing?
There’s nothing degrading about being a (feminine) woman in need of assistance. A REAL man should feel a duty to help – just like that night in the car park eight years ago (see an earlier post). Why should a lady do the things expected of a man? ( God is convicting me now! ).
We like to help. Your face with a smile on it is reward enough!
But you ladies generously bless us further by adopting your entrancing feminine behaviour, skirts and dresses again!
Whoever said “It’s a man’s world”?
The world, and the hands of every decent man in it, belong to a *feminine* woman!
Be blessed. Have fun.
I enjoy skirts, dresses, jeans and slacks. Also I am courteous to everyone, after all The Golden Rule never goes out of style. While I am fine with this man expressing his opinion on what women wear, after all we are all entitled to our opinions, there is something that disturbs me in it.
Regardless of what a person wears (no I am not advocating immodest clothing) they are entitled to the basic courtesy and respect you would give any stranger. I treat people with respect and a smile and I expect the same in return, regardless of wether I am wearing pants or a skirt.
I always loved wearing skirts and dresses as a little girl, but as they went out of fashion I stopped wearing them as much. In the last few years I have tried to include a few more into my wardrobe, but one of my biggest issues is that because I am overweight I have trouble with chaffing. Stockings only seem to make it worse. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks
Felicity
PS Thank you Gentleman for all your comments above, you really blessed me.
