Well now that I think about it, I have seen some pretty perky men in Naples.

Wanda Aug 29th, 2001 08:11 AM

Don't get rude, you are just like an American man, Henry, trying to change the subject. You know European men would never wear baggy, droopy, underwear. <BR>Ladies, when you are out and about today take a notice of how many of the men you see are droopy in the pants area. Is that attractive?

Yes, I have noticed American men are a little "behind" in that area. Never would a Scandinavian man sag in the pants. I have noticed.

An adult should be able to choose his/her own undergarments. Period.

Wanda Aug 29th, 2001 10:07 AM

If a woman wears underwear to please a man or to look more attractive, why shouldn't a man do the same? <BR>

If a man wants to wear specific underwear to please a woman, then fine. But it sounds like your husband doesn't want to. So, how about letting him pick out his own underwear?

How about haggis in a tube?

xyz Aug 29th, 2001 10:45 AM

You've got a point there (no pun intended).

Art Aug 29th, 2001 10:45 AM

Wanda, a lot of men would just as soon that the woman doesn't wear any, esp if she has a dress on!!! <BR>Cheers, <BR>Art <BR>

Ursula Aug 29th, 2001 10:50 AM

Wanda hi! <BR> <BR>Hippest underpants during Zurich Street Parade (some 1'000'000 visitors) were and are Calvin Klein briefs. The guys wear their blue jeans that low in order that *everybody* is able to see that particular label!! <BR> <BR>Art, hi. How are do doing? You still like bratwurst as I can see!! ;-)

Wanda Aug 29th, 2001 11:06 AM

Ursula, I think you are one of the few of the readers who understand what I mean. And you are European, right? <BR>American men have to catch up with your men! <BR>

Ursula Aug 29th, 2001 11:15 AM

Wanda, yes. I am Swiss and do live in Zurich. <BR> <BR>Well, I've met some real nice Americans. Used to have a boy friend in the Palm Beach, Fl. area who used to wear silk underwear!! <BR>But be advised, not all European men wear that nice underwear, but a lot, yes. The Street Parade I referred to however is a very special event with mostly young people who care more about what they wear. <BR>PS: I like any kind of underwear. Some men look better with boxers (thin and tall ones) others better with briefs. What counts most is *clean* underwear which at the same time looks good, but must also be comfortable. <BR>For *special events* sexy stuff, sure!!

So, Art, should we then assume that you are pert and perky in your pants?

Ursula Aug 29th, 2001 11:54 AM

.. such a shame I miss Art at the Oktoberfest in Munich. I would have told you xxxxxx ;-)

hello? Aug 29th, 2001 11:56 AM

Wanda, <BR> <BR>Did you know that there are really important things happening in the world?

Book Chick Aug 29th, 2001 12:00 PM

Ursula, <BR>I can't tell if you're a vixen or a hussy! <BR> <BR>:) <BR> <BR>BC

s.fowler Aug 29th, 2001 12:09 PM

BC --- <BR>Ursula is the vixen. <BR>ART is the hussy :)

Ursula Aug 29th, 2001 12:09 PM

BC hello: I would say vixen. <BR> <BR>PS: *I* gave you the web page for Notre Dame mass schedules yesterday under *Parislover". Was not in the mood to write under "Ursula/vixen". <BR>So, guess what, I happen to go to church but that does not exclude to like nice underwear at the same time.

Book Chick Aug 29th, 2001 12:22 PM

Ursula, <BR>Mille grazie! I hope when someone like myself attends mass in Paris (not Notre Dame, but another church), I don't spontaneously combust from the many sins I so often commit (including the occasional exclusion of underwear from my person) after your vixenish self was kind enough to furnish the valuable info for me. <BR> <BR>Sally, not sure about Art...hussy or incurable flirt? (Or Kavey might say flirtatious bear?) <BR>BC

Ursula Aug 29th, 2001 12:29 PM

Ok, girls. I've got to get my beauty sleep soon. <BR>Where is Art, by the way? Busy with planning his upcoming trip, I suppose or speechless. ;-) or flirting? <BR> <BR>Sally: you once told me he was a nice guy! I am not sure anymore. <BR> <BR>BC: I like the Saint-Sulpice church for concerts just like the Madeleine and the one in Saint-Germain-Prés. <BR>Ever been to Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre (greek-orthodox)? Usually, no tourists. <BR> <BR>See you tomorrow then.
