I am wondering because I mentioned to some guy friends that I just spent $100 at Victoria’s Secret (semi-annual sale, ya know :)), and they basically said that they never care about that stuff. I always thought guys went for sexy lingerie (not teddies or anything, but cute bras with matching panties, embroidered, lacy, sheer, that sort of thing).
So do ya’ll care? Or don’t you notice at all?
Absolutely. I personally try to be observant and notice and remark upon such things, as they are often a plesant surprise, and usually one which the woman in question has taken pains to do for my benefit. How can anyone not dig that (unless they’re a total dog)?
Of course lingere is a good idea on a woman! It’s all about the thrill of the chase and pursuit; not how fast you can grind em into the ground. Yikes.
Tell you what, Nacho, take some pictures and post them, and we’ll be VERY sure to give them our unbiased opinion. 
Yes, us guys like lingerie, but we also like sexy outer clothes. Stockings are a particular fave of mine, as well as demi-bras, lacey bras, and, of course, thongs. The only thing that usually doesn’t matter is the pattern, we don’t really give a damn about how nice IT looks, it is how nice YOU look in them, see what I mean?
It really kind of depends on the type of lingerie and the person to be wearing it. What works on one body type will not nessisarily(sp) work on another. The proper lingerie will work to enhance the alure and mystery of the form. Some lingerie hides nothing (And thus I generally dislike it.) while others reveal just enough. The lingerie can show everything but still give the impression of hiding, this is often very…aluring. 
Well, Nacho4Sara, I’m thinkin’ a LOT o’ guys are clickin’ on your profile to see if you have any pix there…
Personally, I like women in lingerie…just about any kind of lingerie. It could be that, if you were talking to frat boys (See? I checked out your profile!), well, they may just be young and stupid…or in too much of a hurry to unwrap the package, without appreciating the wrapping.
Don’t let them dissuade you…keep on shopping at Victoria’s Secret, and you’ll make some guy VERY happy…
Well… I’m kinda odd… ::sheepish look::…
In my mind, lingerie is nice and nifty (don’t get me wrong), but it really doesn’t have to be a $100 bra or anything. It’s how it’s worn, I guess. And the person that it’s worn by.
See, if I saw you (no offense to you, I swear!) wearing what would be considered a “sexy” bra and panties, I’d look and I’d think “Ooh, nice”… btu I probably wouldn’t be getting all hot and steamed.
However, if a different girl-whom-I-have-a-sick-crush-on (she ain’t a member of the 'Dope… yet) were to wear… say… black socks, that’d drive me crazy. In fact, it DOES drive me crazy. I ask her to wear black socks all the time. She could be fully clothed… heck, she could be dressed like a nun… but as long as she’s got those simple black socks on… OOOOOOHHHH… I get all giggly and silly…
So it’s more of the person, for me at least. But lingerie would be nice on that person (oh, would it ever…::giggles like a schoolboy::…)
Would somebody turn a hose on that lad? 
I never wear it.
Seriously, it does depend on the person in question wearing it. But as has already been said, the fact that you went out of your way for someone gets you megapoints in my book.
As a semi-hijack, I once bought a Victoria’s Secret gift certificate for a friend (not a girlfriend, but I’ll admit I wanted her VERY, VERY badly). I can’t tell you how embarrassed and self concious I was while I was in the store (since if I ran into anyone I knew, it’s a good bet that that person would know that I DON’T have a girlfriend).
My guess Nacho is that your guy friends were trying to impress you with how cool they are. To your face they said “No, I’ve never found lingerie all that interesting.” But in their heads they were doing a Homer Simpson voice “Sara in a garter belt, uuuuuuuhhhhh.”
Is this just for men? Or can a lesbian contribute as well?
Sure, any opinions are welcome.
Well, I appreciate everyone contributing. I guess the opinion of college boys (the ones I meet, anyway) and of real MEN differ.
My problem arose when a friend asked why I had spent so much money on lingerie, since I don’t have a boyfriend. I said I liked it for me, and when I have a boyfriend, he will like it too. Then he said, “It’s true, ya know, guys don’t care.”
I figured he was a loser. I mean, if I have on a $30 sheer bra embroidered with flowers, and he just looks at it and moves on, he would never get to see the matching panties.
And by the way, I am not uploading soft-core porn of myself in aforementioned panties. I believe they have entire issues of PLayboy dedicated to college girls, so buy one of those. Keep dreaming, boys!
Im a guy & I do NOT wear lingerie nor buy it for myself. So I don’t like lingerie; but noticed some guys pointed out specifically that they were talking about lingerie on women. In that case, I prefer a woman naked, that way I know shes ready.
Are you implying that these are two mutually exclusive groupings?
Lingerie is nice when i’m in the romantic mood, otherwise the clothes come off so quick i’d never notice if you were wearing any. Sometimes i’m into lustin’ it but more often i’m into bustin’ it.
I like lingerie.
Men’s lingerie.
Ok, ok. Boxer-briefs.
I have a few of what might be called clothing fetishes, but most of them don’t involve the sorts of things that cost $100 at Victoria’s Secret. Recognizing that underwear has an erotic element, I think the makers of fancy lingere have gone on to miss the point. Fancier doesn’t mean more erotic. The erotic arises from the tension between what is revealed and what is hidden, what is covered and what is accessible.
Funny, I’ve never heard a man say he didn’t like seeing a woman in sexy lingerie before.
What I do often hear is women complaining about the black lingerie their boyfriends buy for them. Men seem to think that black lingerie is the sexiest of all, but many women think it just looks trashy.
Well, I’m positively nuts about sexy lingerie!!
Especially if there’s an actual woman inside!
It should be lacy, flimsy, vaguely slutty and easily removed.
Cheerleader costumes, however…
What the hell are you talking about? I LOVE cheerleader costumes!
Except that the women in them are generally in their early 20s (at oldest) and I’m far too old for them…
