Ladies and Gentlemen, I need your help. For far too long, a barrage of lies and deceit have permeated society that have led women to believe that pantyhose are a highly undesirable article of clothing. Of course, an honest look at history and some plain common sense will show that nothing is further from the truth.
I'm a man who grew up at a time when stockings and panties were being phased out in favor of pantyhose. This came as no surprise as pantyhose were fun, simple to wear, and oh, so sexy! It was common to see images of women dressed in nothing but pantyhose in magazine and television ads. When boys my age were hoarding pictures of naked women they found in Playboy, I was more interested in seeing Playboy Bunnies dressed waist deep in sheer nylon, not to mention all the pantyhose I could easily see in full display out in public, on TV, in department stores, and supermarkets. Pantyhose were everywhere, and no one tried to hide them.
Sadly, the story is much different today. It's as if some horribly cruel joke was played upon society in the 1990s, and against all common sense and higher intelligence, it somehow succeeded. It makes absolutely no sense that the same women who wore pantyhose 24/7 and did so well by them in the past would want little more than to spit on them today.
It would seem that women, upset with living in a male-dominated society, have admitted defeat by rejecting elements and symbols of their femininity and sexuality at all costs. Women seem to have fallen short of the promises they once made in simpler times:
It has been said that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth, and there is very little truth in the many excuses women make today regarding their reluctance to wear pantyhose. So many women have become so hostile toward pantyhose that open-minded women who might actually consider wearing them, avoid doing so in order to evade childish ridicule. (When you come down to it, it's really just petty jealousy.)
In response to the endless lies and deceit the "Haters" and the "Leg Nudists" continue to promulgate throughout society, I offer the following thoughts based on what I believe are elements of sound logic, truth, and honesty in the hopes that greeater numbers of open-minded women might finally gain the courage and intelligent reasoning to bring pantyhose back into their daily lives.
First, let's dispel some long-held and often repeated lies about pantyhose:
Lie #1: "Pantyhose are for old ladies." WRONG! When pantyhose were first introduced, it was the younger generation of women who were the early adopters. Older women stuck with their stockings and their "bloomers" until those relics of the dark ages were finally put out to pasture.
Today, it's the women who wore pantyhose on a regular basis in the past who are now acting like their grandmothers and have retreated back to wearing "granny panties", while the younger, more open-minded generation have ditched their undies for skin-tight leggings and pantyhose!
Check out these "senior citizens". (They grow up so fast these days...):
Lie #2: "Bare legs look better." This is the old "Less is More" con. No. Less is BORE, ladies! Putting on pantyhose is like putting icing on a cake. Have you ever opened a box of assorted donuts to serve to friends or family and noticed the plain donuts are always the last ones taken? Guess why! Also, most women vary their hair color and style, nails, and makeup over time. Bare legs are boringly monochromatic, and look the same today, tomorrow, next month, and (if you're young) next year. Imagine owning just ONE pair of shoes...
Lie #3: "Bare legs are sexier than pantyhose." GET REAL! Pantyhose are worn by women to enhance their natural beauty, sexuality, and female form, NOT to conceal it. Show me a woman who can take a pair of pantyhose so small and flaccid that they can be held in the palm of her hand, then pulled and stretched over her naked body until they are long and tight up to her waist, and there won't be a man alive witnessing this display of elasticity and distension whose personal anatomy won't be doing the same. Guaranteed. No pharmaceuticals required. 😉
Q: Why don't pantyhose wearers ever ride the elevator?
A: Because they can take the stares.
Lie #4: "Pantyhose are old/outdated." Guess again, Sparky! Bare legs predate pantyhose by thousands of years. In fact, there's nothing new, modern, sexy, or "chic" about bare legs. Bare legs have always looked raw, ugly, bland, bleak, barren, anemic, and cold. Hosiery was invented to correct that.
It has been said that those who have not learned from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them, and those who refuse to accept pantyhose are condemned to re-invent them, poorly. I think any woman living in the 21st century who rejects pantyhose in favor of dressing like a cavewoman needs to be called out appropriately. "Wilma" is a good start.
Have you ever noticed that women don't like men who are cheap, but nothing says "cheap" more than bare legs and bare feet in shoes. What do women think they are projecting to society when they go out in public dressed like Neanderthals? That they are too cheap to buy pantyhose? Or that they are too immature or insecure in their femininity to wear hosiery? Maybe they lack the intelligence to shop for them or the skills to put them on. Or maybe they're just too "butch" to feel comfortable wearing clothing that's so clearly delicate and feminine?
Lie #5: "Pantyhose are uncomfortable." WRONG AGAIN! Modern pantyhose are designed to look, fit, and feel wonderful. If you're not achieving these benefits, then you're doing something wrong.
Follow the science and the facts. Pantyhose apply pressure to your skin that stimulates neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin that calm your brain through a principle called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS). DPS is firm but gentle squeezing, hugging, or holding that relaxes the nervous system, lowers your heart rate, relaxes your muscles, and improves your circulation. Simply put, pantyhose causes your body to produce endorphins that make you feel amazing. Some have even described them as feeling "delicious"...
The women who used to work, play, and sleep in pantyhose 24/7 weren't stupid, and they were no bigger lemmings than the women of today who blindly follow the "bear leg" trend and disparage pantyhose (and pantyhose wearers) at every opportunity. At no other time in modern human history have women's legs looked so neglected, cold, and pathetic for so long. How much longer must this continue? Under what metric can this be considered a success? On what planet in what solar system is this considered progress?
Today I'm asking for your help in calling out the "Leg Nudists" and the "Hose Haters" on their B.S. Together, let's put an end to the lies and deceit that have warped the hearts and minds of women for far too long. Let's follow the facts and the science, and chase those bare legs back into the stone age from whence they came and where they belong.
Ladies, let THIS be the year when you finally summon the courage to embrace pantyhose in your lives, and allow pantyhose to fully embrace YOU!
JA
