Let's keep it non-smutty huh? ;)
So, why is it that at the beginning of a relationship girls ALWAYS wear stockings BUT after a period of time, this dies out?
Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it....

Men who make crude bodily noises are those who feel so manly they don't need to be polite.
So, you're either claiming your digestive system works flawlessly, or admitting your good manners are a sign that you're not entirely secure in your manliness? lol
(I didn't meet my boyfriend in Alaska anyhow... what kind of lunatic do you take me for?!)
It's the old 'Bait and Switch" trick.
Too.....many....connotations....
Hmmmm.......I wonder if they have an affiliate program?
Red Green lingerie catalog
Would women in that catalog have their legs covered with duct tape?
Yup, made from genuine Saskatchewan seal skin.
admitting your good manners are a sign that you're not entirely secure in your manliness
Every man has a feminine side. For some, that's where good manners come from, for other that's where the need to wear strange things on Halloween. :)
In fact, I've needed to buy *one* pair of stockings in the last six years, and that's because I was traveling to the East Coast for a business meeting.

1. stockings makes "girls" legs look better..
2. after they have caught you, what's the need?

But as soon as you men go back to shaving regularly, dressing nicely for dinner, and saying 'excuse me' when you make crude bodily noises, you might find the stockings making a near-magical comeback, regardless of the inconvenience involved.
I agree with mivox, there are lots of things that men stop doing when they are comfortable enough in a relationship, sending flowers, calling every day just to hear how you are, remembering your eye colour etc.
I guess both sexes have the same tendency to expect that the relationship will work without much help from the parties involved.

so nice tanned legs look damn fine so i dont think there is any point in spending there money on it, people more concerned about a good tan
I think since there is more liberation nowadays i think girls are less likely to cover up like they used to, so there less likely to wear stockings etc.
i could be wrong, but its seems to me to be like that
I'd get dressed in nicer clothes if they came with Garanimals tags so I didn't walk out the door looking like a piece of abstract artwork.
My best pair of stockings ever was bought in Boston for the conference, by the way.
Oooh. Are you coming to PubCon? I read a book written by the proprietors of an upscale lingerie shop in London I've been dying to visit...
I have a hunch they might have some good stockings.
:p
No chance. ;)
So, against that, why am I going to bother with stockings? I still shave my legs fairly faithfully because he once mentioned that he thought hairy legs were a little icky. If he said he loved stockings, I'd wear 'em, but only as long as he paid attention and admired them.
So it's not that women aren't willing to go the extra mile to impress their partners, it's that their partners aren't willing to bother to appreciate it. So if your girl never bothers anymore, try hinting that you really like it when they do. If they do bother, then show your appreciation. I bet you it'll happen a lot more.
hmm, so would paying special attention (i.e. staring) when women in stockings walk by be a good subtle hint? ;-)
You know, I'd wear stockings (the sexy kind) for my boyfriend, or indeed anything he wanted me to (if he genuinely wanted me to and wasn't just messing with me), but he wouldn't care. He doesn't notice what I'm wearing.
That's a big one too... I wear fancy stuff if I feel like wearing it, because while my boyfriend might give an "OOooooh!" when I first show it off, he does the exact same thing if I walk into the room with nothing on... so I can save myself the hassle when all I'm after is his reaction.
Only if you're a person who is in the position to be giving that woman hints. Stranger? No. Boyfriend? Yes.
If you mean, by staring at *other* women in stockings to hint to your girlfriend, then I'm afraid she probably wouldn't make the connection and would assume it was the *legs* of the other woman you were admiring. Which would not get you in her good books at all.
If you're very careful you could possibly say "My God, look at those stockings [do not mention the woman, and under any circumstances do not say how attractive the *woman* is. Just the stockings or whatever article of clothing you're talking about]. You would look *fabulous* in those, darling. Please may I buy you a pair?" But such an approach is fraught with peril and must not be attempted by the weak.
The same is true of simply buying her a pair-- also dangerous. You'd better know beforehand she'd appreciate it. Women often take such hints to mean things you didn't intend. Talk it over a bit. Perhaps a gift certificate with a very well-worded card. Otherwise you're telling her something atrocious, like implying that she doesn't take proper care of her body, or that she dresses like a slob-- I don't know, but I do know it's very easy to offend by accident.
