This gut was made for faking touches on the trackpad while I try to write code on the sofa

A male friend of mine is on the bigger side and he looks absolutely fabulous in crop tops

Well, that and hide more knives on your body.

I think the Scottish figured that one out

Hashtag free the dad bod

Yaaass free hairy bellies :3

what about leg and arm hair? do they look good too?

I'm trying, okay?🥲

So I'm a woman who loves shopping. But I'm a very short woman and I prefer to shop from the petite section - for most stores, petites are only offered online, if they're offered at all

So I do a LOT of online shopping and returning. I would also prefer to be able to try things on in stores before purchasing, but a lot of times I literally don't have that option. So essentially I try stuff in the privacy of my own home. I prefer to shop online from stores in my area and then return in-person, but a lot of places offer free mail returns too.

Point is, if you're returning women's clothes to a store, no one needs to know they were ordered for you. Maybe you're shopping for your wife, maybe she's disabled so she can't get out and shop for herself, or maybe you just love buying her presents. Nothing is stopping you from lying to cashiers if they asked - but usually it's just "was anything wrong with the item" and you just say "no it just didn't work out/didn't fit her/I ordered two sizes and she's keeping the one that fits."

The best stores will list either garment measurements or suggested physical measurements for the sizes they offer. If you know your own measurements, this should help you make informed decisions until you get to know your sizes at various brands (...and even then, it will still vary widely! 😏)

Looking at women's plus size options may show you options that are more accommodating of broader shoulders, etc.

I think kilts can be a good gateway drug towards skirts

Wore mine down in Texas a few months ago, albeit it was to the rennaissance festival. Got some weird stares at the stops on the way though haha

I took a DNA test and found out I'm mostly Scottish (family always said English and Polish) so maybe I will too.

I think of this as analogous to the movement to get women to wear pants. It's not that we wanted them to present as masculine; it's that we wanted pants to stop being masculine and start being just clothes. Basically all masculine coded attire became androgynous, but almost no feminine code attire did.

It's not like skirts are inherently feminine either. There are plenty of examples across cultures and time of it being perfectly normal for men to wear them.

calling skirts + crop top attractive is not the same as calling only that attractive. i hope this helps you make peace with this post

The Scots have known this for centuries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you're from the eu, I'd suggest looking on emp
