Why Is It??

That some women gave up wearing stockings & suspenders in favour of tights, and yet some women still wear them, is it because they are so uncomfortable to wear, or just too fiddly to put on, or is it more women seem to wear trousers now?
I'll probably get shot down for posting this lol

I really cannot believe that anyone contributed to this thread.

Did nobody think that a man on a predominately female forum asking about stockings and suspenders was a little suspect?

Last year when this post was active and MickyT started to post on other dodgy matters I called him out and he retreated thankfully.

SimonP your wife must have been digging deep to find this thread, she showed it to you and you then joined the forum to comment.

Please think ladies before you leap in.

Quite.
Sometimes a whole thread should disappear. The thought of MickeyT or SimonP salivating over women in stockings is something I do not need to contemplate.

In my teens it was a Little X, a sort of elastic girdle even though I was built like a beanpole. Then I had suspender belts.I had longer than average legs which meant my stockings always came to a sharp point where they fastened and my legs were ' spring loaded'

Because they are the work of the devil ... i.e designed by a man!

I have REPORTED the thread. I’m flabbergasted that anyone responded to it in the first place.

I’m sure I reported it to last year.

Micky T at one Pont was trying to use Gransnet as dating service, very odd.

I showed this thread to my husband for a male opinion.

My husband is a true gentleman, he was appalled at Simon and Mickey and like me amazed that anyone was naive enough to respond.

I did wonder too ... but I think he is a longstanding contributor.

I didn’t think of it like that but you could be right. However, judging by the ages of most of us on here any man getting his thrills from a thread like this must be a bit desperate. 🙄

There’s nothing actually wrong with the comments made by two male contributors on here, and certainly nothing worth reporting.Remember also this forum isn’t just for women.
For myself….am now having a lovely fantasy about a male hunk shaving while wearing a collarless shirt with sleeves rolled up and braces/ suspenders.Do I have to come back to the real world yet?🤭

Oh Dear Me!
Nobody has to read this thread, let alone contribute.

For what it is worth, I hated suspenders and stockings (does anyone remember men wearing sock suspenders; my father did?), and fondly recall buying my first pair of sheer tights, price nineteen shillings and eleven pence, to wear under my Courreges style dress which did not cover my knees.
