You know what it is. It's that in a uniform, it's hard for a guy to mismatched. The color co-ordination alone is usually enough for a woman to notice.

It's all about mystique - what's UNDER all that thick cloth? Actually, uniforms are usually tailored, so a man looks his best when he wears it. If you had all your clothes tailored, you might find yourself a chick magnet.

I will tally in with the ones who dig a man in uniform. Maybe there is some truth to the "power" thing. But I also think that a well cut suit just "looks" attractive asthetically.
But who am I kidding? I am not particularly interested in analyzing why. That takes all the fun out of it!
Oh, and I dig the hairy chest too. Brings out the animal in me. Rrrrrrrawr.

I have a beautiful uniform from my Engineer school. And i liked wearing it but i must say, nothing is different with girls... I think it's a myth.

I also dig a man in a sarong. A man. One man. Fahim. He's pretty cute dressed like that.
Especially when it shows off his hairy chest to perfection. But I'll stop now. Otherwise, it could quickly degenerate. . .

Elizabeth, sorry for the late reply, stupid post markers again...
quote:Goody, what in the name of all is a "tat?"
A tattoo. Or in this case, several tattoos... Will is part Native American, and he has two armbands with dancing Kokopelli figures on the bands and rawhide tassels trailing down to his elbows. Then he also has another Kokopelli on his chest and he's thinking about doing something on his back.
He's trying to convince me to get something on my back as well, possibly a unicorn since I like them so much, but I'm resisting for the moment.

Hmm...uniforms don't do anything for me at all. On the other hand, I really like scruffy and tattooed and relaxed, and (alternatively) an ill-fitting suit and too short hair is adorable.

Dunno. If they do, they wrap it around themselves so it looks like an industrial strength diaper.
There are two versions of sarongs. One version is a length of cloth, say four or five feet long, and to wear it, it's tied around the waist or the chest, depending on purpose. The second version has the ends sewed together so it forms a tube, the wearer puts it on around them, and ties a knot or tucks it in in such a way that it stays on.
Here, women wear a sarong tied under their armpits when they shower, especially if they're showering at the communal waterpipe at the side of the road (I pass two such pipes on my way to church on Sunday with people showering, doing dishes, laundry, whatever at the community water pipe). Men tie it around their waists.
Some men wear sarongs out in public, but it tends to be older men, labourers who do this. The younger and more educated wear more western clothing.
However, in the home, it's a whole other thing. Many men - foreigners included - wear sarongs to lounge around the house. And many men wear sarongs to bed as pyjamas. Fahim is one of those men.
Oh, and when they, men, need to, they'll pick up the bottom of the sarong and tie it again around their waists so that it's essentially folded in half. For heavy labour, for example. And for fighting each other, although this is much more visible in the movies than in real life. IRL I haven't seen any fights yet.

No, likely not together. But separately, hmm.
The thing about sarongs is . . . You know, I was going to post it, but changed my mind. There are young minds on here. So I'll just say that there are certain benefits to a man in a sarong. And I'll leave it at that.

Any person who likes uniforms and accents should watch the Sharpe movie series. Made for TV movies, gripping, very well written and full of uniforms, pig-headed Englishmen, French Cavalry, sharpshooters, Sean Bean, the Spanish Countryside and Historically correctness.

Bob, when you said hanky, my mind just automatically added panky. I mean, it took me awhile to figure out that you werent missing a word in your next posts. And I was desperately curious to know what the gays mans hanky-panky code is. But I dont think I'll look it up.
Edit: damn it, I didnt notice the second page either. my mind just likes to avoid things it doesnt want to see and find things that arent there.

Let's just say the hanky is a code for the type of hanky panky desired, and leave it at that.

*wraps twinky in bubblewrap* That should help. At the very least, people might be inclined to try and burst your bubbles...err, nevermind.
