How come everybody assumes men can't wear long sleeves? Once I was in a dancewear store and bought a long-sleeved leotard; I asked the salesgirl why don't men wear long sleeves, and she said she knows a man who shops there who does wear long sleeves.>Have you ever noticed in gymnastics, the men have their legs covered and their arms bare, while the women have their arms covered and their legs bare? When I go to the gymnastics newsgroup and ask WHY, they just get annoyed with me and say "that's the way it is!">To me, the leotard has to have long sleeves to really look like a "leotard." I mean, the sleeveless ones, you can't tell them apart from a maillot bathing suit. The real "leotard" look has the fascinating contrast of fully exposed legs and fully covered arms. Only the leotard looks like that, the secret of its unique charm. I think it's the old school of thought of appeal: for women it's showing the legs, for men it's showing the arms. But funny enough, a few of my women friends say that they find the male leg sexier than the female, and that men should show off their legs more often. Who knows... could be a dancing tradition, passed down for years, and now the reason is long forgotten (probably some strict teacher laid down the law and it stuck). Interesting though, on male skaters they wear long sleeve unitards, and they don't look any more feminine than without long sleeves. Antworten zu diesem Beitrag:
