No. They're socks and they are worn under your clothes and in your shoes. What are you talking about?

What kind of socks are you wearing? I don't find socks uncomfortable at all. And in the summer, they're no more too hot than any other piece of clothing you're wearing. Do you have excessive foot sweat or something? If you do, I would imagine not wearing socks would be an even more disgusting experience.

They're not supposed to. They're socks.

Me either. Seems like a weird way to get attention, but it doesn't bother me when other people do it.

This look is not for me, but for some people it works very well. I can't explain what it is that makes it work, so I won't try. But, yeah. It's rare.

If only they'd slapped the qualifier at the front, "If you do this, I [will not sleep with you]/[will sleep with you more]." The only thing that might attract more immediate attention, and action, would be, "Get out of the way of that missile overhead." The only statement that might stick more in the subconscious would be, "[Insert behavior] will cause your penis to Never Work Again."

Someone telling you "Being naked except for socks isn't a sexy look," is many steps away from "You should never wear socks if you want to get laid." I didn't think that would ever be a sentence I would need to type.

Whatever works. But I wear socks all the time and have yet to find they were a hindrance* to getting laid.

*This word should be spelled, "hinderance." English makes no sense.
