    I’ve reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.

    I’m also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.

        I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I’ve worn 'em in that context.

        As far as the fem-boy/“girly” ones, I’m just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.

    Ugh. I hope the current owner has new keycaps for all the sock colors because matching socks + keyboard is cool, but well… when you change your socks that goes out the window

      Look, I have a suggestion that will change your life. You can never live another way again.

      Go buy 10-20 pairs of socks, all same. When you get a hole in one sock, you only throw away the one sock. You never have to worry about mixing and matching. If you’ve got two socks, they count as a pair.

      I’m not even matching my keycaps to socks, nor wearing anything special, I just found a specific pair of socks I liked and I’ve bought heaps over the years.
