should men wear tights, Speedos. Bike shorts and lycra

I couldn't agree more. I don't mind being thought of as gay. I think some nearly all have a good sense of pride about themselves. They will mostly dress well and be very clean and concerned as to their appearance. So I guess if the worst thing you can say about a gay man is he looks very much a fashionista or preoccupied with good looks appearance and what people might think, Then that is not a worry at all. The other group of people are " metro sexuals" you must have heard about this group. I think society puts these labels on and just because a guy takes good care of himself ie. Creams facials good clean nails, Well dressed they feel it suffient to deride them and give them a label. It as if the norm for men must be a Buck or jock. A rough guy. I think the obessed gym guys are also a catorgory and seem to be very self obsessed but in a very mach way and it's all about physical appearance with muscles and pumpin iron, Showing off in public with their great prowess and ability. It is a ritual in parks beaches everywhere. It is a behaviourial science thing, A preening and flirting way of attracting a mate. Gay men have led the way in at of fields and taken alot of flak for moving humanity forward in very positive ways whether people agree or not with their sexuality. I do oen also get attention from this group and it can be flatering. I wonder what caterory i am trying to start. I thought of a few funny one liners. "Bring back the bulge" or the one already out there is Men in tights. Thats now an accepted thing in general. . . I am not sure if I agree with you about wearing such garments away from the sports arena. Alot of fashion these days especially for young men is very colourful and cut very neatly. Some outfits are soft and tight fabrics. You see alot of stretch pants and tight clothes. It is not allways traditional masculine lines. What is expected as a male has change and the clothing has allot to do with it. Cute is in. Women like the softer tones and gently look. I prefer something a little in between. I'd like to know what you wear and how you expressed your viewon other ways to show your wares other than tights and bulges etc. . . . . My other joke catergory was the " reclaim my manhood" or " reclaim my package ". The barbie doll world we live in where the KEN doll has no bulge NO sexual organs is purile and femenized. No real display of anything. It is almost impossible to imagine how we can change this view. Maybe one day we can be proud of our packages and display our lunch box ( discreetly) if thats at all possible. Remember once upon a time women in our western culture had to cor up. No bikinis or flesh to be shown now we frown on the burqua and scarves. Oppression vs modesty. Women as you say are made for it and we love the butts especially in tight tights and see thru. I don't think there is anything more enjoyable as jogging behind a young woman with a great butt th a visible G string thong on exentuating the round bottom cheeks. It is this that I have my calling and want to see allowed and accepted. The male version of exposing parts or allowing for some visible signs of sexuality. To this end I will strive to allways break new ground and wear as least as possible without getting arrested, To put up with all the giggles, Whispers laughs clapping comments good and bad. The point you made about cat calls is correct, I think I my case it is not the same I think it is out of sheer disbelief or suprise that I get whoops and whsilted at I think it is diferent. I agree with you that women would and continue to feel harrased. So I think when i get that attention it is the beginning of a weird acknowledgemnt of almost acceptance in a way. So I think it is changing. When guys see me some are completley grossed out and make their disdain clear. Mayby I am just trying to justify an exhibitionist urge? If i was naked I would be arrested and so I shoould be. A flasher who exposes himself is abhorent to me. I am hopefully not in the sexual pervert caorgory and just a little bit titilated by the hundreds of smiling girls who do seem mostly to enjoy seeing a guy who is out of sorts as they say. Smiles tell all. Alot of good morning and comments like " your up early" or one recently " nice shorts" and allways said like the women needed to redress the balance and feel ok about commenting and letting me know. Changes only come about if their are people willing to be ostricised and made to feel ashamed. I like to think I am not macho not gay (? ) maybe a little cheeky and perverse but in a wy that is beginning to be more socially acceptable form of expression only to be found for now in sports attire.
