well unfortunately i have to wear support hose due to circulation and blood clots. i have to say i don't like it but i have no choice. i would like to see my kids graduate college so i do it. my wife helps make it better. she mixes outfits with the colored ones and i do wear them with shorts. in the summer it just gets way to hot with pants. i admit before this i would think it is kinda weird, but now i see that there are reasons why guys do it. again i don't like it but i am not going to make fun of guys that do it. it opened my eyes and well if it helps me live longer then i suppose i'll continue to do it every day for the rest of my life. for those who wear them just because, well keep it going. don't let insecure closed minded individuals tell you different.
