top tip. if your wife says " does this make me look fat". the correct reply is not "nope. it is the fat makes you look fat". Lord my couch is uncomfortable to sleep on.

[@fionatanzer5270]

Somehow, I don't think that I've ever heard a woman ask if her bum looks too big in her bikini 😄

[@littlewoodimp]

I'm old enough to remember random men having a go at young girls and women about what they were wearing. Just walking up, or sometimes shouting across the bloody street, to say that they didn't approve, or simply a tap on the shoulder in a queue and ask "What the bloody hell are you wearing?!" They really believed that we should give a crap what they thought and felt. Market day in small town 1970s Wales could get a little wild sometimes. 🤣 And oh my days!! When the nose piercings and crazy hair colours started!! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@lea-anne9133]

I reckon it just came down to the fact that men would not have been able to hide their arousal from seeing a woman half or nearly naked. I mean i's a primal reaction to the female form isn't it. So to save any embarrassment the women are told to cover up or get indoors to prevent a awkward situation🍆Sad really isn't it🙄🤣

[@Convoy00X]

@@lea-anne9133 that's a good point. It can be a bit unfair on both sides. Women shouldn't be shamed for how they want to dress and men, especially young men can control getting an erection.

[@joyleafsidhe6185]

As a pale person who hates the heat living in the southern United States, I feel that we put far too much importance on being clothed. I always said the most unrealistic thing about the walking dead (besides that the grass is always mysteriously mowed) is that they're in Georgia, in summer, during a zombie apocalypse, and they're all wearing clothes?! I've told everyone I know, if it's the end of society as we know it, I'll no longer be wearing clothes in summer. It's too bloody hot. Hope y'all are ready for some old lady t!ts... 🤣

[@lawrenceweston922]

Clothing actually keeps you cool, if you walk around with nothing on the sun hits your skin directly making you hotter. The trick is to wear thin breathable fabric which covers the maximum area and wearing a breathable covering for your head. All this is going to protect you from the sun and keep you cooler than if you walk around mostly naked, especially if you’re pale.

[@DjAether8]

Yeah, I remember double decker buses. But there was something far stranger than that when I was a kid in the sixties, and I only ever saw it that one time. What "it" was, I don't even know how to describe it properly. But I'll give it a go. Imagine an old school semi-articulated truck, but instead of a trailer, was basically like a "fifth-wheel" arrangement, and the trailer part was the bus, that carried the passengers and the conductor. Weird.

Generrally speaking anyone should be able to wear any amount of clothing that they want. The only time telling someone to put something on is if there is a sanitary concern, ie keep your anus and genitals off of communal surfaces.

[@daddynunya9045]

You should do one on the old burlesque shows where topless women wearing pasties on their nipples and danced, the dance that springs to mind was a number of pastie and super short skirt, panties, or real short shorts wearing women stood in a line, arms around the ones on either side, doing synchronous high kicks while dancing to the music. Sometimes there would be a one woman show where a buxom lady wearing nipple pasties with tassels would make the tassels spin, with no hands, while she danced. Sometimes she would have them spin clockwise then switch to counter clockwise, and usually as a finally, have them both spin in opposite directions. In another show a very scantily clad woman would start dancing with what appeared to be a very large feather in each hand. Not long after the scant clothing she had on could be seen falling to the floor as she danced keeping her "vital parts" all the while covered with the feathers while alternating them left to right and front to back. It was all beautifully and artfully done with the audience never actually seeing any nudity. These shows were closer to art displayed in a gallery than to what is referred to now days as a strip club.
