As a genuine question, can you say say why this is weird, and do you mean in all cases or only when worn publically say under shorts?Dennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206032507326497809.post-17275680592565675482009-10-20T15:36:09.449-05:002009-10-20T15:36:09.449-05:00Steve

Given the number of customers we at ActivSkin have, I would guess you've encountered quite a few more than you're aware of. <br /><br />Most guys still wear them under long pants and aren't eager to advertise that fact, so there wouldSteve Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457720583436729139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206032507326497809.post-80958778025101469792009-10-16T04:50:06.622-05:002009-10-16T04:50:06.622-05:00Hi Jess

There are men who, whenever this subject comes up, populate comments threads with all sorts of fictional stories about wearing tights. They are certainly insulting to the intelligence of the reader very often, and well deserve the label of 'weird'. They often make claims about how acceptable this has become in public which are not true - I have Dennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206032507326497809.post-63548576483603957232009-10-15T12:37:52.485-05:002009-10-15T12:37:52.485-05:00First of all folks, thanks for your feedback.

It's always nice to hear different perspectives. <br /><br />Dan- I'm familiar with men's practices of wearing an extra layer for warmth; I had simply never heard of this type of hosiery. According to www.dictionary.com, "weird" is defined as, "Of strikingly odd or unusual character; strange." By that definition, and Jess King Talks Too Muchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476031661796584755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206032507326497809.post-48201670477654346192009-10-14T17:17:25.670-05:002009-10-14T17:17:25.670-05:00Jess, I disagree with your characterization of mos...Jess, I disagree with your characterization of most women. The truth is like men, some women like wearing pantyhose and/or tights while others don't. I find it very comfortable to wear and it has especially proven to be a life saver in the cold weather and when I have to sit through long traffic jams. I'm glad I can count on wearing tights/pantyhose to reduce leg cramps.

I work for ActivSkin, and the top photo is from our website (www.activskin.com)--it's actually a CG pic.
