Why Do Gay Men NOT Wear Socks

Is it a fashion statement?

I only know one gay men who does this, and he's trashy in other ways as well.

No socks with shoes is disgusting. I do not know anybody over the age of 18 who does it.

It’s unattractive on most men and looks especially ridiculous in the fall and winter months.

They think it's the epitome of high fashion and sophistication.

They're wrong.

People, please pay attention to the link at r2

We *are* wearing socks, it’s just that y’all can’t see ‘em, because it’s intentionally designed that way

It is on trend. A lot of straight men don't wear them either. Where have you been the last five years. In other news, many women ditched pantyhose decades ago.

In the 1950s my mother wore these low socks, they were called Peds.

Because they prefer the tummy control of pantyhose.

In the 80’s growing up a lot of the hot older WASPy preps did this where I lived. It really depends on the guy and how he dresses but sometimes it’s sexy. Other times trashy and desperate. Not in winter, though.

The seemingly sock less look does make a guy look more sporty and fun

I dated a guy 19 year old a few years ago who did this. He had the worst foot odor. He also had the worst smelling breath of anyone.

That’s exactly what ended it.

R22 That is a good reason to break up. For people who keep up with their dental checkups, there is no excuse for bad breath. If you brush your teeth thoroughly and use mouthwash then you should not have dragon breath that jeopardizes my perfectly sculpted eyebrows. lol

Strike flip flops altogether. Insert espadrilles.

R28 Grown men with no socks and dress clothes look stupid.

In this photo, who looks like an adult going to work and who looks like an 8 year old who tried to dress himself from school without help from his Mommy?
