Men in tights

DonDaddyD

Secretly I LOVE IT when the ladies look at my Smith & Wesson.

I make it a point to walk into the office with my cycle gear on. I've been told about my 'tings' in tight trousers by a female work colleague, I couldn't make out if she was making a complaint or compliment.... :shock: So I just stood there proud.

Fact is I've spent so much of my time looking at women it is flattering when they do it to me. If I didn't like being stared at I wouldn't wear lycra I'd wear baggies. It's the same with girls who don't like to be looked at by men (in the clubs lets say), then don't wear such provocative clothing. If your gonna look sexy then I may have to look it's my hetrosexual nature...

I don't care what anyone says, wearing Lycra is sexy.

Only trouble I find is that tight lycra (and the cold weather compounded by the fast cycling and wind chill factor) tends to 'compact' it a little too much for my liking. Is that bad for it? I've been meaning to ask... :oops:

EDIT: My legs look fantastic and shapely in Lycra, so I'm told and so I think...

I find it very hard not to look sometimes.

It's often less of a lecherous 'phwoar' reaction and more of an inward "blimey, look at that!"

It's not often they're so proudly on display and it's not always easy to control the eyes, so sorry if they dart down now and again :P

I like this response. Puts things on par with us (OR IS IT JUST ME) gawping at cleavages.

If anyone wants to se my packet, feel free!

Thank god I'm at an office today that is a bit more light hearted and it's lunch time as I've just had a serious case of the stiffled laughs!
I guess at the end of the day what your saying is "If you got it flaunt it!" I'm dying for the weather to perk up and stay warm all day so I can consign the long baggies and long sleeved tops to the cycling spares box and can start using my baggie shorts and short-sleeved and eventually sleeveless tops! I'm certainly a summer person :-)
Speaking of that it does remind me tho, whilst it wasn't physical contact like ITB OP I did get a compliment on my tattoos last year at some lights near London Bridge! Typically just as the lights went from red to green.........but she was cute ;-)

Belfast lasses must be very reserved generally though, as I've yet to be whistled at or groped in the street. Obviously they want to, they're just shy..

no...they just wait until they inevitably find themselves in edinburgh where they turn into drink fuelled "credit crunch" perverts.

Literally and metaphorically, it seems

I guess this is a question of etiquette.....In which case, do you stare at the crotch and glance away when clocked or do you avoid all eye contact altogether and run away?

I think the best way is to point extravagantly at something in the distance and shout something like "Is that a UFO!!" or something likely to grab their attention, and while they look away and try to find the thing you're shouting about you've got at least two seconds to goggle at whatever you want to goggle at.

If used too much people might think you're an idiot, or if used clumsily, an idiot lech.

The other etiquette decision would be "ass or crotch".....?!

When it's warm enough for the lycra to come out I think I;m going to have to give the old man a bit of a wake up before I go into the office. Make sure there's something worht ogling :oops:

Narcissism?

For me there'd be on point in cycling without it.

whyamihere

I don't suffer with narcissism, which as everybody knows is a character flaw.

No, I'm flawless, perfect in every way thank you very much.

I used to be conceited. Now I'm absolutely perfect

Kieran_Burns

Oh and personally I won't be seen in the office in lycra shorts / leggings / whatever until I lose at least 4" off my waist line.

When I was younger i got wolf whistles when cycling and there was this time with a school bus I raced and beat... now I just get emabarrassed at the gut and ALWAYS hide it

Even in thermal tights. I hide behind my pannier :oops:

neil_laing

I've never noticed girls blatantly staring, except the girlfriend. In fact she made me buy a specific pair of shorts cos she reckoned I'd look hot in them.

I did wear a kilt in Manchester once. That caused problems...

What annoys me is when I walk past someone, normally of the large varieties, I'm in tights and they are laughing not becuase of the size of my Desert Eagle but because I'm wearing tights and cycle specific clothing. It's not like I laugh at them for being fat nor would that be tolerated by anyone.

It annoys me becuase they really aren't in a position (given that they don't look like they've seen exercise, ever) to laugh at me who is simply trying to keep fit.

If you're on the A38 at about 4:45pm - you'll see my lycra clad ass bimbling along......!

sarajoy

Damn, 4:45 is a little early for me.... I go late into work and come late home - I tell myself it's to avoid the worst of the traffic, but it's mainly because I'm too lazy to haul my own lycra-clad ass out of bed any earlier...

sarajoy

Make it a little later and I can stop off for a pint on the way home? :P

The one time that I've been around many men wearing lycra during the Marlborough Loop, I think by the time we got to the pub stop it looked like most of us (Linsen excluded for obvious reasons......) where packing Walther PPKs ;-)

But yes I think any tight clothing when you have the body to carry it off makes you feel really "schmexy", probably one of the reasons I like my grey thermal tops that I use for cycling, the wife at least likes me in them :-)

Well, far be it for me to show off.....! I would stay late so that you could *enjoy* this one off experience, but my puppy dawg needs me....and so do the kids!! Besides, I am sure the world of women would prefer I was not pointing my booty in their line of vision....

I have "DHB" printed on my tush.....guess where I shop online!!!

You sleep in lycra? I don't think you're in a position to be accusing DDD of fetishising the stuff...

No-one gets to see me in lycra today but my jeans are quite tight if anyone's really keen.

Hmm - we should organise Yokel pints - :-( Ho hum! Another day another dollar! Kellaway Arms is opposite my pad - bad news, but I will have to walk dogly first - may do it in lycra and see what the other local dog walkers think - to be fair, you want to try wearing a rowing lycra around Tesco's....I used to wear it cycling to work, before I discovered bib shorts!

sarajoy

Well I'll be sure to carefully read the print on all the nice arses on the way home, just to make sure......

One of my (much older) workmates was extolling the virtues of wearing no undies under tights/shorts this morning.

I understand the reasoning but I don't have the time or money to wash my shorts daily OR buy tons of pairs for daily shorty freshness...

...the worst bit is that now every time I see him in shorts or tights I'm going to know he's commando underneath!!

DonDaddyD

gtvlusso and sarajoy seating in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g....

Seriously though do you guys have your own out of London Mopeth club going on?

AND:

Liiieeesssss you wear lycra because it makes you feel schmexy!

Yes there is that as well. I love how my calf's look in my 3/4 lengths... Honestly, when cycling my goal is look as close to this as possible:




I'm not joking

Goes with my "Stars 'n Stripes" bar tape though....

Sara, the not wearing underwear thing is to do with comfort - pants have seams in places that chafe bits, and while it's probably fine on a short commute, you don't want to go on longer rides with them!
