Some people send their posts directly from their smart phones, which DO have auto-correct. And their interface may not allow editing from those devices.

Also, since you're being so hard on other people for their mistakes, I'll point out that when using the subjunctive mood, it's proper to say, "if there were," not "if there was."

I wear dresses or skirts about 70% of the time. Considering so many women's pants don't have pockets anymore, I default to carrying a purse. (And I like carrying a purse.)

I also hate wearing pants when it rains (winter = rain here in the Bay Area). Damp pants are the bane of my existence, I'd prefer the skirts or dresses that are easily covered up by your jacket and a pair of boots.

My legs also stay warmer than the rest of me, so as long as it is over 40, wearing a skirt isn't a problem.

I think one of the reasons I probably ended up gravitating to skirts and dresses is that they are easier for me to find proper fit compared with pants. There might be a relationship. Not so sure. Apparently I only wore dresses at age 5.

On topic. Wife was a Assistant VP for Aetna Life Insurance Co. when she retired. Only wore skirts to upper level meetings, otherwise it was slacks. I don't think she even has one in her closet any longer.
Have you never touched an iPhone?

It's all I post from, it's screen is large yet at the same time you try reading back on a screen that keeps wanting to automatically zoom back to your current point instead of let you read back.

I also just tried typing wea and it doesn't finish it as wear because it could also be weather or something.

And no I am neither hence the mini skirt and short strapless summer dresses.


I answered the question honestly, I said women who hardly wear pants remind me of delicate religious women. That's just the image that pops in my head, like those religions where the women never cut their hair or wear pants.

You seem to take too much stock in what I say. That's so silly.

I like dresses and skirts but I'm more of a mini skirt or short summer strapless dress kind of person so not like conversation dresses.

That is a container of poo

The ONLY difference between the women who wear slacks/pants and dresses/skirts only is what they wear is their preference for comfort, convenience and their career. Other than that, no.

Yeah more than likely but out in CO there was this huge group of women they didn't cut their hair or wear pants. Like the duggars.

I moved back to the south and I've seen a few groups of women out like that. The super long skirts and really long hair.

Trousers are more comfortable of course however every woman should have at least some dresses to wear to go to church, to school functions or any important occasions. I know some women who result to borrowing a dress when they have to attend a formal gathering because they do not have a single dress. It is sad because seems like they have already forgotten that they are women.

In my country, most of the women just wear Jeans. Women are not so feminine. They just wear Jeans and T- shirts. I can even recognize my fellow country women right away when I am in another country even just by looking from behind because they are so recognizable in their signature get up " Jeans and t- shirt ). I think they are the most underdressed women in the world.

I don't know whether to be glad or jealous that I don't have that 'choice' to make, but considering I'm kind of a slob, it just makes things easier. Nowadays it seems pants/shorts on women is by far the majority for everyday wear. While that's totally fine it would be nice to see some variety.

People should wear whatever they like. No one picks at men for their fashion choices!

Not always, they may wear a suit consisting of pants. But as far as psychological differences, outside of being young and being a tomboy, I can't really see any. My wife, well, it is mostly pants when the weather is inclement or cold. Skirts/dress occasionally. But I love her just as well. Whatever makes her happy.
Best regards, sincerely
