What's with men and black or white socks? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life3 years ago

I just finished doing my laundry and putting my socks away. Just before I closed the drawer I noticed something. I have 14 pairs of black socks and 14 pairs of white socks. That's it. How boring. Why no pink, yellow, red or green socks?
Are men wired to only think in black and white? Is that why women are so much better with grey areas? Do you think I should go out and buy colored socks? If so, what colour and why...

I have all white socks because it's the only ones I can find that are all cotton. If I buy any other kind, my feet will sweat like crazy and then I'll feel like I'm walking in a puddle of water all the time. Ugh! They don't stink, mind you but would be soaking sopping wet. In the winter time, wet means extra cold. Having Lupus my fingers and toes are the worst in the cold winter months. I don't know why that is but it is so white cotton socks for me all the way. Not to say I would like different color socks for I would, very much so but I can't.:(

You are absolutely right about white cotton socks. They are the absolute best for keeping one's feet the most comfortable in the worst conditions. Black are the worst but look better with a suit and loafers.

Hiya Lounge,

Hmmm, Im not sure about that. I dont think you need any coloured socks. I mean if you had a red pair of socks, what would you wear them with? Or a blue pair or a green pair? You could buy some argile socks. Is that how its spelled? LOL They have many colours in them and hey you would cover all the basis.

My hubby has only asked me to buy him some grey socks, but he has all white ones. Considering how dirty they get from work, I think he needs some grey ones! lol

I am glad you said that because I only have white socks (hanes,short ones) and I get kinda self consious about it. Especially since I wear shorts all the time. I could not bring myself to wear red socks though. I do have a few pairs of different colored dress socks but I only wear them with long pants.

How do I pick which subjects to respond to??


myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Bay - Could I wear red ones with my summer sandles and shorts? Or would women and small children run screaming into the streets? On second thought, your husband has the right idea and tomorrow I expand my wardrobe to grey socks! What fun.


myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Morethanamolehill - Wonderful name, by the way. I also think Bay has the right idea. As for what topics to choose - just surf by category and surprise yourself with what you might find. Hopefully we'll see you again on our threads.


myLot reputation of 63/100. BayleighGray (1790)   ranked 4,458 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Honey, I thought you WANTED to find a mate?? Unless you want a dog mistaking your ankles for a fire hydrant I wouldnt wear red socks with sandals and shorts.

LOL Oh my goodness. I just cant imagine that, I so know your joking!!! LOL

Bay xx

Hey Moretheanamolehill,

If you click respond to this discussion after the inital post up top, you can have a box of your own and get the hell out of mine!

LOL Im joking!!!!!!!! LOL

But if you see a comment you want to respond to as well then you can do what you did here. Is that what you were asking, I thought so, but Lounge could be right, hes a pretty smart guy! hehe;)

its your wish yaqr


myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Well you see - that's the problem. It wasn't my wish. It just seemed to happen and now I'm afraid of colour - although BayleighGrey has me buying grey socks now, so I may just be getting over my fear of colour. I rather like her like her idea of looking like a firehydrant too. Think of the doggie friends I'll make! lol

Usually I can just find white or black socks. I do have a pair of maroon, creme/beige and a couple of green ones (forest and olive).

Any other colors (especially bright ones) and I think people would think I escaped from a nearby institution.


myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

I say all men should be able to wear any colour they please, with pride and defiance and who cares what anyone else thinks!!! I'm starting with grey. Are you with me 'gamer? Then maybe red (I love dogs and if Bay thinks I'll look like a firehydrant, then so be it), then neon yellow, pink, lime green .... heck let's just take over the world .... afterall we're real men aren't we? lol


myLot reputation of 63/100. BayleighGray (1790)   ranked 4,458 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Now those are some good colours Gamer. I think Lounge should start out mellow and work his way up to bright! lol I can see a man in some maroon, beige or olive green socks. You wear pants with them right? HeHeHe


myLot reputation of 70/100. theprogamer (7518)   ranked 3,591 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

I've always wanted to wear cyan socks and turquoise socks. Along with dark purple!

First the socks...
Then Ze World!!!


myLot reputation of 63/100. BayleighGray (1790)   ranked 4,458 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

LOL Your so funny! I guess I didnt think about those dark colors. I myself have all kinds of colored socks, but I too only have mostly white ones.

I think if they are worn with dress slacks and a nice shirt with the same colors in the shirt as the socks then it would look nice. Being my hubby is a horseman, slacks and dress shirts are NOT part of his attire. lol I can see you wearing this though, and looking rather spiffy if I may say so!:D

I have a pair of gray socks with snowflakes and a big snowman on each side. Would you like to borrow them?
I have all kinds of colors and designs, but for the most part I wear white and black. Like others said, they don't sweat your feet as bad!


myLot reputation of 85/100. loungeact (496)   ranked 253 out of 38,524 in life  3 years ago

Well as I told Bay - I'll be getting grey socks, so since yours are grey I'll start with them. lol But the first person to laugh at my ankle Santas get a snowball in the keester!
