It's all part of their sex change...

You know, over-emancipated women and metrosexual men...

Maybe in 20 years or so we'll start seeing men in skirts and dresses... :lol:

Somewhere, a Scottish man is beating the table and cussing you.

I just like seeing girls in dresses and the like. One conversation about it led to girls thinking I'm a bit of a perv, seeing as I said I liked girly-girls and that dresses helped that. Not sure how they got pervy out of that...

Nope, because they know a kilt is not a skirt... :wink:

Try saying you wonder how it feels to be taken by a woman with a stap-on.

I'm sure you'll have their attention then... :lol:

I'm joking guys. I think...

Men in large globally recognized cultural groups have worn unbifurcated bottoms in the past. Some near the North Sea for example. I still mean to pick up a pocketed example at some point.

Sure, Roman tunics are another nice example. Japanese kimonos also...

Yes, I've been meaning to get one, or one of the imitators for quite some time now. I've known about them for years. That's actually what I meant in my post.

You could always just ask a woman this (though maybe not one from the group you were talking to if they now think you're pervy), but my guess is that they'd give you a lot of practical reasons. With either a dress or a skirt you have to be mindful about trivial things, that I'm sure you're not thinking about. Like how to sit without the movement becoming obscene or adding an unsightly crease, self-esteem regarding how their legs look, maybe they think pants/shorts are more modest, how much physical activity they plan on doing that day, is it going to be cold outside, is there any chance it will be windy....

Of course, there are cultural and symbolic reasons too, but my guess is that the summary of their answers would be somewhere along the lines of: Pants=Easier.

Or maybe they just like to wear jeans more.

It's because women can wear whatever they hell they want now. You know, they aren't forced to wear skirts or be labeled some wild and crazy feminist like they were in the sixties. Or maybe they just don't want pervy teenage boys staring at their legs. I'm sure it also has to be kind of time consuming to shave their legs everyday as well so pants just make things easier.

See. My logic is sound. I rest my case.
