What on earth is a wifebeater? Sounds... er... like something you'd carry around if you were having marital difficulties.

Personally, I'm happiest when people are wearing those clothes that are most appropriate to them. Casual, smart, whatever. Perhaps reasonably tight if appropriate to the figure, but not naked or even semi-naked. Some things are best left to the imagination. Not sure what options would best suit that.

P.S. Timmy, is there any way you could set your polling page to say "Thank you for your vote" once you've voted? For some reason, I just get a blank page, though I think the vote still goes through.

Like Deeej, I've only a very faint idea what a wifebeater is ... a quick look at my favorite image search engines suggests its basically similar to what in the UK would be a vest.

I ticked the "... and wifebeater" box cos there wasn't one for skintight 501s and skintight T, but I basically agree that guys look best in what they feel good in. However, I think just about everyone looks good in a properly-fitted dinner jacket (or formal dress of their culture - kilts, anyone?).

I'd go for speedos or underwear, but I can think of a few guys who would look pretty nausea-inducing in either!

That'll be me then - I put on a half-kilo a week for the first 12 weeks since I stopped smoking ... an extra 10% of body weight (and nearly 3 inches) straight to the stommach! Thank goodness for summer: I'm living on fruit and salad and very slowly returning to a more acceptable figure.

Where's the box to vote for "All of the above" ?

Well, except for "drag" - yuck!

You can keep the other options - too soft & squishy.

The drag question is interesting. Thats a man who likes to dress up like a woman and also act a woman. If I found that attractive and desirable, I WOULDNT BE GAY.

I wasn't exported - I simply succumbed to repeated blandishments from the English, who were desperate for a bit of quality in the North-East. Oh, and of course there was always the money!
