    Like Thmpsn, the first thing that came to mind for me was the ballet.  Men definitely wear tights there.

    For some reason it is more acceptable in our culture for women to wear
    traditionally male clothes than for men to wear traditionally female
    clothing.  There are men who wear women's clothes.  It would
    probably be difficult for a man to wear tights and not, at the very
    least, get some comments about it.

    Speaking for myself, I don't think it's anybody's business what a
    person wears, as long as he (or she) is not harming anyone.  At my
    place of business, I used to have a male customer who wore a long
    dress, gloves with the fingers cut off, lots of jewelry and sometimes
    flowers in his long hair.  He also had a beard.  He was
    always really nice and a pleasure to wait on.  I had the utmost
    respect for him, he chose his own path and followed it.  I think
    that's cool!

      I would venture to say that most women and men who do wear tights have attractive figures.  I have never seen a large women or man wear tights that enhanced their physique.
      In those instances where men wear tights, it's typically men who are acrobatics or circus performers who stay in top physical conditioning and have attractive physiques.  Most adult men do not possess the physique to carry it off and in most instances who wants a out of shape man wearing tights, especially in those instances where his gut and junk are bulging out in such a way that the visual resembles two possums fighting in a gunny sack.

        There is always the stigma that men who would wear tights are feminine, gay or just down right strange.  If you really want to wear tights, such as outdoors and in public, then you simply should, and not worry about what others might think, or say.  I wear spandex tights when running, biking, cross country skiing and hiking.  I do get some looks and stares from both women and men; it is apparent to me that some are quite accepting, others; I don't know what they are thinking, perhaps with approval, or with scorn; but that is there problem and not mine.  I am in my early 50s now, but I did take a few months of ballet when I was 14/15 years old.  I wore the back opague tights and required white tee shirt; I am not interested in taking ballet now, but if boy or adult men wish to, then they should.
