It's simply nature. When you reach the age to reproduce you naturally do whatever to make yourself stand out to entice whom/what/he/she/they you are after. If whatever you are after is looking at those wearing leggings then you wear them. Or you keep trying until you find out something that works. Why else can we explain makeup, high heels, push up bras, fake eyelashes, hair dye, hair styles, fake tans, perfumes, etc. How about dancing?

We see this all over the animal kingdom. Birds build outrageous nests and have crazy dances to attract mates.

The Birds and the Bees


Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above
And a thing called 'Love'

Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky
And a girl and a guy
And the way they could kiss
On a night like this

When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life
Starting from A to Z

The problem is if a man looks at a woman wearing jeans, he is just looking.

If a man looks at a woman wearing leggings, somehow HE is the pervert, even though the leggings leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.

If you dress like trash, that's on you, nobody else. So stop blaming other people for what they think of you. You don't control anyone else's opinions, and can't decide for THEM what they are thinking when looking at YOU.

If you don;t like how you are being perceived and the attention you are getting? Maybe it's time to change your pants.

I'm not a prude and I certainly have no problem with fit women wearing leggings around me...

..but if I had a daughter, I would probably ask her exactly what type of attention she's trying to draw by wearing those. There are certainly ways to be "comfortable" without showing every crack and crevice of your anatomy. Just sayin....

Grunge and plaid died. Britney Spears and twerking happened.

How strange that you read my post as finger wagging when I was asking a real, genuine question. I guess the internet doesn't "allow" for that anymore.

Everybody's pants are too tight and we're all too crabby!
