Angry Mens' shorts!

I HATE how since the 70's and early 80's, mens shorts have become so long and baggy and shapeless. I remember back in the day when shorts were..well..short! Just look at what NBA players used to wear..compared to what they wear now. If a guy wears shorts that are not completely baggy and shapeless, then he is made fun of and is 'GAY!' or lame or whatever. WTF with that? I think it desexualizes men..while women have been increasingly sexualized, and it sucks! Bring back the 'short' in men's shorts!!

I am not talking about speedos or G-strings here..

What do you think?

Can a mod please edit my title and fix the mistake? thanks!

I don't want the short shorts back. It's not a manly look, in my opinion. It's just ugly.

My brother in law still wears the short shorts and it is so bad.

No thanks. I think board shorts, skate shorts and ones that go past the knee infinitely more comfortable and attractive than say...



I see these guys running all the time in goofy daisy dukes nylon bullshit and i makes me want to slap the shit out of them for looking like idiots.

I really like the old short(but not TOO short) shorts look. As in I think the pic of Daniel Craig in the blue rather short and tight bathing suit looks GREAT..much better than those baggy-assed 'thug' look bathing trunks/shorts.

I miss the seventies godammit!

See, for the 'seeing what you're getting', skinny dippers are GREAT. Last summer, Yanna and I were rewarded after a long climb up a steep rocky path by arriving at a little lake where some fit young things were swimming in their birthday suits. There was this one strapping young man who...um, let's just say, taking into account the water in that lake was freezing, could put some porn stars to shame!

but this brings up a whole nother issue..it could have looked like a shriveled blue acorn, but some of them are showers..and some of them are GROWERS..who gives a shit how big it is when it is soft..when it is hard is when it matters! (I have seen enough in both states to say with some measure of authority that some showers do not grow much at all, while some growers grow so much they put the 'aroused' showers to shame!)


I just think that good looking men with nice butts and legs should be able to wear shorts that kind of show off those nice things, without being ridiculed and relegated to the baggy horrible thugwear so they are not called 'gay' or laughed at. I hate the baggy shapeless clothing trend for men that has taken over. sucks

^At least fitted tee shirts for men are in fashion. Mmm, I loves me some arms...

Oh yeah, and Daniel Craig looked hella hot in those shorts!

I know about showers vs growers, but trust me, that particular guy...it would have been fine even if the size did not alter at all! And I really am a 'bigger is better' kind of girl!

You would enjoy what men wear at goth/industrial clubs then. Not much in the way of shorts, but plenty of skintight leather or latex pants, and barely there (or sometimes missing entirely) shirts!

WONDERFUL! I love tight fitted t's...especially in chilly conditions.

Totally agree. I find a man much sexier in board shorts than in short-shorts.

Can someone post a pic of board shorts? And why does it have to be one extreme or the other? Why not something in between(like the Daniel Craig blue shorts?) Why is everyone taking it to either huge baggy shit, or banana hammocks?
