    Honestly, I love to see anyone who is gender non conforming in any styles and any gender :3

    Idc, as long as they happy who cares?

    Some people might be into it, some not. Personally I think clothing shouldn’t be limited to one gender or whatever.

    Young Brad Pitt? Absolutely.
    Old Abe Vigoda? Probably not.

    Mostly it would come down to the attitude of the guy, I’m imaging a pleated skirt above the knees and a sleeveless crop top to better hioghlight the shoulders. Worn proudly on a hot bod? That’d look awesome. Worn with the embarrassment of, say: losing a bet? That’d look lame on anyone.

    I assume the vast majority of women would think it’s a gigantic, flashing “red flag” (if you claim to be straight, at least), but in Western online spaces you’ll probably find a good amount of women that will find it hot or “progressive”.

        It has something to do with your “gender ideology” at least, and I doubt most regular shmegular women are looking for a man who’s even thinking about that kind of stuff (or wanting to “feel cute”, like, what?). I’ll ask my wife and a couple of friends and I’ll post the replies here when I have the time, I think it might be better.

        Edit: Wife - “No. Why would you ask me such a stupid question?” / “If I wanted to be with a woman, I would be with an attractive woman, not a man dressed up as a woman!” / “I can live alongside it, separately, but I don’t want it.”

          At some point, women started wearing trousers. Today this is very common and no one would link that to their sexuality or gender alignment

          My point is that maybe we are at that point now, just for men to wear whatever they feel is cool

            Exactly what I was thinking. Never in my life have I seen my mother wear a skirt. She wears pants because she likes them and that’s perfectly valid. Style is a personal choice and I don’t understand why people think it’s related to sexuality or gender identity. Thank you.

            Everyone wears “what they feel is cool”, wearing skirts and crop tops shows people you think that’s cool, and that informs people of who you are as a person to a certain degree (the kind of man who likes wearing skirts and crop tops).

            Of course you’re free, and no one is legally allowed to lock you up or restrict you in whatever way to stop you from wearing crop tops and skirts, lol, that’s not the conversation here. And I’d rather you said “it’s not immoral for me to dress like a girl” than going for the “I do what I want, you’re not my dad!” line, at least it shows more maturity.

              What is the conversation here? Also, I don’t dress like a girl. I dress like me. And I wasn’t ever concerned with morality.

                Which members of society overwhelmingly wear skirts and crop tops? Why do you think you’re asking this question?! 🙄 And the conversation is not about whether you can or cannot do it, but what that says about you as a self-proclaimed heterosexual man and whether women as a whole will view it and the attitudes and ideology behind it positively or negatively.
