deebra,
Nope. Nobody put me down. I can't remember anybody ever putting me down. On cashier at a convenience store I used go to a lot (to use the single bathroom) told me once that I could "offend some people". In 40+ years I think that's the closest to a put down I've ever gotten. I was just trying to find out what gave me away, if anything, in order to improve my presentation.
I am aware, though, that regardless of how freely I think I go about my business when dressed, there are places I don't go. At this point in my life I see no benefit in challenging that.
