I only paid my socks if they’re gonna be seen so like if I have shorts on or low cut shoes
Personally I couldn't imagine wearing socks of different thicknesses or lengths... So if I'm going that far to match them, I may as well go the whole hog >

This is exactly how I feel. They also have to have same tightness and weight. Might as well just match. >

I'd never trust a person strolling around with one ankle sock and one skiing sock. I'd say that would be grounds to get them committed. >

Oh boy! That extreme huh? >

Imagine one ankle breathing the free air, on show for the world to see and the other smothered under a thick woollen sock that stretches to just below the knee... No sane person could tolerate that!
But I am aware of my fascistic tendencies so I avoid any positions of power just in case my inner tyrant escapes. >

I do this with boots all the time. If you can’t see my socks then who cares. >

No you’re missing the point. Even though they’re seeing, it’s not wrong to wear diff socks lol. >

even with substantially different material/thickness/size? >

Been doing it for more than a decade now im pretty sure. >

For me it's a sensation thing... if the diff socks have the same feeling, weight, and tightness it's fine. Otherwise, just no. 
Also.... I don't think this is a very unpopular opinion. >

I refuse. I’ll go without socks before I do non-matching socks. >

i wear mixmatched socks all the time. not on purpose, but i just put on the first two socks i see. my mom always makes a comment on my socks whenever she sees them. >

Punky Brewster was waaaaay ahead of you on this one. >

So I definitely thought the title read "wearing dicks off" at 1st. >

Now there's an opinion I want to hear about >

I started wearing midmatched socks by mistake; I'm colourblind and once wore a red and a green sock by mistake. The teacher said it was dumb but the other kids thought it was a laugh, so I started to go out of my way to wear mismatched socks.
You might be surprised how many people get angry over it, like as if you're wearing a shirt with an grotesque, offensive image on it. >

If we all keep doing this we will win eventually lol.
