First, I think this is the only time I've heard anyone play up the challenges of choosing pants and collared shirts. Second, choosing a dress with matching bags/jewelery/etc and putting it on is only half of the process that is primping. I have waited on girls getting ready, spending 30+ minutes in front of the bathroom mirror applying makeup and tussling their hair to get it "just right." But obviously, not all girls are like this. | ||

I don't see why either gender should take longer than at most 5 minutes to get dressed, except maybe women for applying makeup (though if that takes longer than 5 minutes on it's own, there is something else wrong). Well, i'm a very practical person anyways, so maybe my view on that is just too limited. | ||

This is sad and reprehensible to me. She's female, it's part of who she is -- so she shouldn't have to come to expect degrading or negative discriminatory remarks regarding that.

Nah man, nah ... that's not how it works for anybody else. Why should our fellow female liquidians have to deal with it? On topic -- I tried sleeping naked once, I just couldn't deal with the idea of LCF (loose curly fries) being spread everywhere. However, I did try pooping naked recently, and oh My GOD it felt so amazing, so free, like I was flying while pooping. Also, Happy the flying cat for the win :D Aye sir!! | ||

Truthfully, I have often wondered if I should just exclude it completely from all of my posts and comments. Of course you should exclude it, the vast majority of posters never mention their gender, sure if you read enough of one person's posts you could infer a gender but if you were to say rant about balance in games ... rave about my favorite characters and foods why would you need to mention your gender? Oh I like pizza -- I'm male by the way. You could probably even make a blog about liking being naked without making your gender obvious. | ||

Reading blogs at work is sometimes bad, cause you bust out laughing in the silence of programming "clickyclacky" and everyone is like...wat. I'm not sure if I initially read that in the right context, but the "I don't hate clothes, clothes hate me" fits into MC Hammer's lyrics perfectly...so I just pictured OneOther all alone at his KHAN fanclub meeting going I don't hate clothes, clothes hate me! *hammer time music* In hindsight I'm pretty sure that's not how it was supposed to be read. :p On May 11 2011 23:02 moktira wrote: why would you need to mention your gender? Oh I like pizza -- I'm male by the way. You could probably even make a blog about liking being naked without making your gender obvious. The kind of scary part is that if a guy made a blog about being naked all the time, the thread would be exactly the same. Sometimes imagining a forum environment IRL humors me. "Sup guys, I'm Matt and I am always naked when not outside of my house." "Oh cool, bro, me too." "Yeah, I love getting naked" Hahaha. I've fucking lost my mind. Woohoo! Anyhow, I don't normally jump on the "haters gonna hate" thing but do what you want. Not like anyone on forums (or not on forums) should make you do something because of their opinion...Maybe I'm just too secure with myself. Your first few blogs mentioned you were female and they went over fine. It's not their blog anyways. :p | ||

To relate, after i get home from work at the hospital or the university, first thing i do is switch into my track pants and hoodie and off i go prancing downstairs to my computer. When its hot in the summer, screw the hoodie, just sit there topless. If i need to take my dog out, "hmmm. is it really hot still? or is it a bit windy now" i have the same 2 options as mentioned above. I too have had a lot of experiences with the "what are you so dressed up for?" which leaves me with a "O.o" face on seemingly evident of the decline in casual attire in modern social protocol to the point where anything beyond t-shirt and jeans appears showy. I had found an awesome stand collar dress shirt with these awesome square magnet buttons and a pin that held the collar down (nice and crisp) and wore that with my jeans and everybody asked "where ya goin? you got a date? do you have a presentation today?" and at the end of the day, it made me sad to think back and notice that everybody's wearing a plain crew neck shirt with some silk screening and the same R&R jeans across my entire lecture hall. so no, i'd say you're perfectly justified in your thinking riku :D | ||

WRT your complaints on the female distinction here... think about what it would be like if you weren't an in-shape and relatively attractive woman. Say you posted your cosplay skimpy picture and people mostly gave negative comments on your appearance. I think it's likely you then would not make a blog post here saying how much you enjoy being naked, even if you still did. Of course this is just a hypothetical scenario. This obviously is a fairly large community and comprised mostly of men. The overwhelming majority of posters here are not well known - they blend in with the rest of the forum. There are some ways to stand out and be remembered such as contributing guides and volunteering to work on the site. However, just by the nature of being a woman on these forums and making that well known you will stand out. Even if you aren't doing it as attention-whoring, it will draw a lot of attention to yourself, and so some people may associate your actions with attention-whoring anyways. We do not understand your true motivations, so I won't go that far. By all means, feel free to post whatever you like (within reason for the TL forum). Just keep your audience in mind with the posts if you want to avoid some of this. | ||

I mean it's not exactly comfortable and you are supposed to be the most comfortable in your own house, right? Guy here. How the hell can you girls get those things on? At my school, I look around, and actually have noticed that the maximum width of the pant legs on girls's jeans go inwards and then back out around the knees. I dunno, but as a guy, i have a generally constant tapering, to a degree, from the tops of my legs down to my knees, but i wear straight jeans. The tightest piece of clothing i ever wear is probably the elastic band of my boxers, or my belt, if i have one on. On topic: Loose clothes are better than none at all, imo. Plaid, baggy lounge pants + socks is the way i go when my family isn't around, especially in summertime. Once, i tried going full on(or off, depending on how you look(please don't) at it), and ended up putting a towel between me and my chair for the extra protection, and less dampness on the chair. I can't stand skin-tight clothes(on me) D: | ||
