Why don't women wear dresses or skirts anymore???

Lots of people wears skirts in the area I'm in, and most of them aren't remotely bad looking. See a lot more short-shorts though. Seeing mainly grandma skirts at work.

Because pants are more comfortable and practical.

Oh I don't know about that. I wore jeans today, freaking humid as hell today. Wore cargo shorts yesterday, still sweaty. If it were socially acceptable to wear short skirts as a guy, I'd be fanning my ass upskirt just for the breeze-y pleasure.

She looks like a little boy. She would look really hot with long hair.

Approx. 90% of Japanese women wear skirts and heels during summer, even during the most inappropriate times... cycling, amusement parks, mountain climbing, school sports days.

It's inexplicable.

Have you seen the shape of those legs? Talking about genetic defects...LoL
 
Short hair on women is always a failure. There are some women that are so hot that they succeed in spite of the short hair, but that's like saying Ben and Jerry's ice cream is so good it'd still be good if you peed in it a little. Hair is probably the one thing that women spend forever messing with that is actually worth the time investment for beauty return.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Almost anything that fits right looks great on the lower half. I'd say skirts generally work the best on the widest range of body types though.

And if you want the ventilation to alleviate swamp ass while having the misfortune of being born male you could always wear a kilt. Just claim you're Scottish, no one is going to check.
 
I second the OP's complaint. I'm just bitter because my wife is always cold, so she usually wears jeans unless it's like 90 out. She's 5'11 and has legs for days, and I usually try to get her to show them off.

Skirt and heels FTW!
 
I see mostly dress/skirt wearing women down here. I also have the pleasure of working for a company that has a lot of former Macy's buyers. They are always dressed to impress.
 
Where do you live? I see them everywhere. It's like a freaking forest around here, the number of stumps I see walking around, particularly in the summer.

Recent trip to [dalian] China - majority of the women were wearing skirts or shorts - it was awesome. 🙂
 
There is nothing like sitting behind the 1850s vintage Steinway Parlor grand playing Moonlight Sonata beneath the stars with the wind gently moving my blue silken dress. :awe:
