what's logical doesn't always look right

[CDNSushi]

Most of us shave or wax our legs and slather them with any number of lotions, giving us smooth, soft, and sometimes, tanned legs. For general viewing pleasure, hairy ankles are just not as attractive.

Just my $.02.

True.... Perhaps that's why a number of men, like models, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes, shave their legs... (And I realize that it's creepy for some women, but I also know for a fact that some women think men with smooth legs are hot!) I even remember reading some years ago, that a number of hosiery companies used male leg models for their product packaging due to the muscle and fat distribution in a man's leg making for a very shapely effect.

Back to the topic in the thread... I know exactly what Alan is saying, but I think that like everything we aren't accustomed to seeing, it takes some getting used to. Many mainstream folk could also say that seeing a man in an unbifurcated garment "just doesn't look right" to them, even though their logic tells them it should be okay.

Alan's specific example -- to me, it's hard to relate. I haven't seen any photos of guys wearing kilts with oxfords but no hose/socks. I guess I'd have to see it to know whether I'd find it strange or not.
