I picked both “stylish” and “outdated”, believe it or not.
Seams were how stockings were originally made, and haven’t been needed for decades. They’re worn now simply as a matter of fashion.
So I think both answers are right :).
I don’t like any of the poll options. “Stylish” would be closest, but they’re not in style and someone wearing them isn’t being stylish according to my definition of the word. If they work with her outfit, it’s a good fashion statement.
Must remember the names of the stocking stalkers for future reference.
And I don’t think I’ve ever worn seamed or other noticably unusual stockings to the office…only to social occasions. Now that I think of it, a few of those times in group settings all the men seemed oddly fixated on my legs. :o
You filthy beasts! :mad: Here I am, just trying to look nice and even going to the trouble to cover my legs up completely and there YOU are, all dazed and confused. Stare at my BREASTS like normal men already. At least a girl expects that.
Very few laugh out loud moments…this is one. In my experience, they are MUCH easier to pull off than to put on. 
I just want to look deeply into your eyes.
well, I DID take part in the recent picture thread. If it means THAT much to you. 
(seriously, must remember this name for future police reports…just kidding. I think.)
Virtually all men think what we have already spoke about…we are all stocking stalkers. The visual appearance sticks in our head whether we want it too or not. There’s not enough bleach in the world to erase the visual impressions we see in a sexy & stylish dressed women. Lord knows, I’ve tried. As I have grown older though, my mind seems more focused on admiring the overall beauty in a woman rather than fantasizing about doing some sexual act with her when I was a young buck with limited sexual outlets. At least I’m getting less creepier.
Odd to you, but it screams “Look at my legs!” to us.
We just like to watch women coming and going…plain and simple. 
I’m just kidding too. Happily married man for a long time. It would ruin the illusion to see an actual picture. Then it might start another one too. But those stockings would have me staring at your legs. In the 6th grade, all the girls were wearing macrame or fishnet type stockings, and I’ve been drawn to anything outside the usual pantyhose ever since.
I’m a guy, so I didn’t answer the poll, but I just wanted to say we had a woman volunteer at camp this year with ‘seams’ tattooed up the back of both legs. She’s been with us for several years and is a real sweetheart, a bit heavyset and had her fiance with her this year, FWIW.
I wouldn’t think anything of it at all. There is no way you could live where I live (Bethnal Green - the Shoreditch end) and make judgments about passers-by based on their clothing - you’d have no brain power left for working out which apparently closed shop is actually an extremely hip music venue. Or remembering to get milk from Tesco’s, depending on your day.
