Question What do you think when you see a woman in pantyhose or sheer tights?
Im 23 and I wear tights, stockings and pantyhose with dresses and skirts. I recently wore a pair of black sheer tights with a casual black dress and got so many stares from men. What do men think when they see a woman in such clothing? Also not many women my age wear these clothing items often so what does that tell you about the women that do wear them?

Best Answer When I see women in tights or pantyhose I see women who cares about themselves. They look more sophisticated in ALL situations! There is something about the shine and smoothness that is a huge attractant to guys yet women don't seem to be aware of that generally! It just makes the legs look flawless (especially with a short skirt) so you tend to see a "perfect" woman. Just being honest as a guy.... There are also some benefits to wearing pantyhose for both men and women you may not be aware of. Check it out here: http://www.glieberman.com/pages/Benefits.html Also very important is the fact that "graduated compression" pantyhose will prevent formation of varicose veins and starting young will assure beautiful legs in the future as you get older. Graduated Compression hose also gives more energy throughout the day, they also last much longer being made of heaver materials. (Athletes in perfect shape use them for up to a 10% advantage because of the increased blood circulation). There is nothing negative about wearing them other than the cost. ADDITIONAL: For Michael below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_sportswear Additionally athletes are still being fined for using them! Doctors have proven blood returns faster in more volume when the legs are compressed because the pulsing is upward and not outward. All makes sense but of course there will always be nay sayers. All Austrialian teams I know of are required to use them for flights (men and women...legs are legs). Also if it benefits those with vein problems as all studies show imagine how they benefits those in good shape. Just makes sense. Another study but most important are the reader comments...real world experience: http://www.joefrielsblog.com/2011/02/an-update-on-compression-clothing.html
