There is a new fad sweeping across the nation from lands far away -- Europe and Australia -- that have got people going absolutely bonkers: The mantyhose. Pantyhose were once a fashion trend closely guarded by females in banks, post offices, and law firms; but some progressive -- and very serious metrosexuals -- look to end their tyrannical, monopolist hold over pantyhose with every fiber of their body. Here is a look at the early adopters, and make sure to comment on how sophisticated and dashing they look.

Does he look intellectual or crazy? He's got the hand on the chin, but he's also wearing hosiery in public. It's a tough call.

The feminists have made it a point to try and take all masculinity away from men by dressing in men's clothes, and then having the audacity to call it "fashionable." It's time for men to take something from them for a change.

One doesn't have to be gay to wear pantyhose since they were 14. Pantyhose are absolutely sensuous under jeans while keeping all the right bits warm. There's nothing in the world quite like wearing a great pair of pantyhose!

How can anyone say they honestly didn't see this trend coming? It's not surprising to find that the move for male hosiery came via Europe; you know the place where creativity is more accepted, they enjoy hairy armpits, and never learned that daisy dukes were a fad in the US that died in the 70s, and were never meant to cross over into male-centric fashion, period.

This guy looks a little confused. He doesn't know if he should wax or shave his legs every few days when wearing mantyhose. He's seen women in pantyhose that didn't shave and thought it looked hideous, but can't figure out what is better -- waxing or shaving -- life's full of difficult choices.

Marketer's have tapped out the female market for their feminine products and are trying hawk them onto men. Normal men think; mantyhose, manscara, manbags...what do we need this crap for? This guy went out and bought Dutch orange cargo shorts. There's no hope for him.

He heard from his female best friend that women find mantyhose sexy and they're a real turn on. The best friend even said they're so awesome that she'd be more attracted to a man who wore them, than any other man who didn't. She also told him that the hottest women in the world live in San Francisco.

Back In 2008, this was his stance on mantyhose in public: I must confess that I'm happy with it being my secret -- I have no desire at all to walk around in shorts and pantyhose to try and stun the public -- happy for it to be my secret under pants and a business suit. 2011 may finally be his "breakout" year.

Came across his profile on a dating website: "Hi! I'm a 40 year old male who has been wearing pantyhose since I was 15 or 16. I just love the feeling of them and the support they give me. They especially help blood circulation and fight against jet lag. I love traveling, a good book, and mantyhose!"

This guy bet us $20 that if you pulled down 100 men's pants on the street, you would find a few wearing woman's underwear. After number 27 we already had eight offenders and had to cough up the $20.
