That's because the stuff is really for us. If it was for you women, then everything would look like Grannie panties.

This is because they want us to think that if we buy and wear their stuff, we'll look hot like the models and so therefore the boys will want to come out and play. ::

If it wasn't for men, would you REALLY opt for string bikini panties instead of going for comfort?

If it saves me a panty line in my slacks, yes.



Granny panties FTL btw. There are all kinds of cute alternatives that are both comfy AND cute, and dont cost $10 a pair.

Dave is right too, as is Uma. They are overpriced and the really cute stuff is not even wearable in regular clothes, at least not for me. I cant wear rhinestones under a tshirt, makes me look like I have hives or some crap.

Hives! you're right though-all the pretty stuff can't be worn under normal clothes. And for the record, the day I catch my reflection showing grannie panties I want someone to admit me! Lol.

Then we get into all of the reasons why those lines matter to you, in the first place. Hint: It starts with "M", ends in "N", and has a "E" in the middle It's genetic.

And the whole point of the "pretty stuff" is to wear it when and where it can be seen. From where I sit the shopping mall would do just fine, as long as you're built in a way that doesn't violate the weight limits placed on Spandex.

Pffft. You're such a guy.

No the pretty stuff can't be worn with normal clothes, it's not meant to be. It's meant to be worn by itself, and I cant rationally spend $100 on a bra and panty set that I can only wear every once in while. It is also considered tacky by "ladies" to wear clothes that have your bra hanging out like Madonna or Rihanna, but maybe I'm just old fashioned. I AM getting old after all.

As far as the reasoning for panty lines, I prefer not to have them because it's tasteless. I dont give a crap what the M E N think of my panty lines or my ass, my opinion is the only one that counts.

FTR, if I get so plump that nothing hides the bulges, I'll buy SPANX, but again, for my own vanity, not because I care what the boys think.
