I don't think I could possibly take seriously anything a person wearing these (flashback to the picture of Sean Connery in Zardoz that was used here a few days ago...) was trying to say to me. I'm sorry: you'd look impractical, uncomfortable and skanky. No that looking skanky is always wrong, just if you want to be taken seriously (like at the office) I'm just sayin'...

It sort of momentarily takes me back to those Greatful Dead parking lot days when I'd be walking around and nod at some stranger as if to say, "Hey, you look cool, wanna go share this nitrous balloon with me?" I don't think it's entirely wrong to send these primitive signals to women; if they dress this provocatively they are sending a clear signal, and they shouldn't be surprised either if men touch them or follow them up the street.
