Skirts or pants ?
I must be getting old. I used to think pants and pantyhose were the devils work. Nowadays, while I still think dresses or skirts are nice. You guys have to admit that we as mechanically inclined “gentlemen” (and I use that term loosely) are far more concerned with where the snaps, buttons, hooks, ties, or zippers may be hidden.
In other words a normal man’s first thoughts are, what tools, breaker bar, socket wrench, screwdriver, etc. we will need, how hard will it be, and how long it will take to get those wrappings off! It's not the candy wrapper we are interested in, nice as it may be it’s just packaging, it’s the candy inside we are after!
For the lady’s out here take note;
You have now been told the secret of what that guy your with is thinking when he stares at you with a dumb look on his face when you ask that same silly question all of you have asked “how do I look”. You now know that he is, consciously or otherwise, just trying to figure out what would be the best angle to get at that damn retaining bolt holding your clothes on. When he says “you look fine or great” you may deduce that he’s figured out that angle. At least he hopes he has.

I don't know about the other WOMEN on this site, and I know there are some, but I will wear pants to my own funeral. And if anyone tries to change that, I'll come back to haunt them. It is a little difficult to get out of a big ol' truck without having your skirt or dress ride up and show the world what you own. Now I know most of you men would like to watch this all day, but isn't that too bad? They have channels on TV for that sort of thing. Now, if you fellers would go around with them good ol' things on like Jesus supposedly wore, we could all get along. You get outta your big ol' truck and your little "dress" rides up and everybody around gets a good laugh. Now, that's only fair. You ever tried to get out of your truck in a mud hole with a dress on? I haven't either cause I don't wear them unless someone dies. S'long as it ain't me. I don't drive a car or a minivan so why should I wear a dress?:*

To Candymankim,
If you like to wear pants that’s your choice and I will respect it. Only an idiot would expect you to wear anything else in a truck. Much as many of the men of this world would like to see minis on lady’s driving lifter equipped trucks there are limits to what’s practical. My wife likes me to wear tight jeans and sometimes I do, but most of the time the ones she picks out make my voice sound like I’m breathing helium and they can be, to put it politely, “uncomfortable” while climbing in and out of my truck. We won’t talk about bouncing around off road with seat belts and hard seats. So I, like you, generally wear what’s comfortable. Besides if the need or desire should arise loose jeans are easier to get out of in a hurry. Sorry my male genes made me say that.

I am a female and I wear jeans almost all the time (mostly wranglers).I am a new mom of a 1 month old baby girl and jeans are so much esier than a dress or skirt besides I can't work on my truck in a dress it just is not possible. If I was wearing a skirt there would not be enough matrial to wipe the grease on.

Citori? What the heck does that mean? Anyway, thanks for seeing my side. To Tinkerbell, you got that right. Who wants to see a woman's rear up in the air under her hood with a skirt on? Oh, I guess I forgot what message board I'm on. 
Do very many of you guys go to the martha stewart or good houskeeping sites? :+ I do occasionally, to see how to remove grease stains on...everything.:*

It's the name of a fancy target shotgun made for trap shooting by Browning that I enjoy shooting as often as I can. It was a $2000 present from my wife after my first heart attack.

What's to see when your right, your right. Besides after being married for over 28 years I'm well trained.

If I may add my two cents. I may be married but I'm not dead yet. and as my father (father of 10 kids) once said "a man on a diet can still look at a menu".

I never thought of that but I'll try to remember it next time I get any on one of my good shirts before the wife beats me up over it.

To candymankim, thank you for understanding my point. I will admit that I like to dress up sometimes annd if I had a better body I would do it more often. but my truck sits so high (it is almost illeagal)that getting into it with a dress or skirt would be very awkward.

I live in Fort Lauderdale, and on the weekends all the girls are in bikinis. Even at home on the weekends most women wear bathing suits around the house. When they go out they mostly wear tight shorts and halter tops. I think women should wear whatever they want as long as the ones who should wear sexy clothes do and the ones who shouldnt dont. They know what they look good in.

-I like to pull a joke every once in a while, and open the passenger side vent by the fender when my girlfriend's wearing a skirt. 
I like to see a woman in a skirt but there ain't nothi'n that turns me on as much as a fine woman with long legs on her toes leaning over the hood of a Ford truck wearing tight Wranglers! Ooo!
But if you love your girl, anything will look good on her.

fordatlast, I wouldn't mind livi'n where you're at.
