when I was 22, and my body was chiseled ouf of wood, at 6-8% bodyfat... well, I never had any problems wearing one, and never heard any static from chix about it...
now that I am 43, and the calendar is having its way with me... I would rather die than wear speedos... I have enough common sense not to inflict it one the public.
Uh, the WIFE thinks I look quite dashing in them, but... that's about it... I model them for her maybe once3 every two years for a giggle, then they get returned to the junk clothes box, so I can remember what I ONCE had as a young athlete...
if I were a horse, no one would want t put me out of my misery yet, but... I woul not get taken to any public showings, LMAO... yet, just like a retired horse, the OWNER enjoys taking them out in private and such...
Its like those ridiculously TEENSY bikinis the chix wear... if you got the BOD for it, go for it... but, the public board of "good taste" will rear its head if your out of line judging yourself, lmFao...

Took my four kids & wife to water park hours away from home. So busy making sure kids had everything they needed, found that the only swim suit in the car was the small Speedo used in my USS competitive swim team workouts. The looks I got all day walking around that Texas park - not to mention the sunburn in areas that were not used to it - above the golf shorts tan lines. UGH. I wish we had run across a hope that sold some board shorts! Four kids have a way of reducing one's IQ drastically. Moral: unless you are on a swim team or in Brazil, cover up those Seedos or wear board shorts over them - not for public consumption, too much pubic.
it just doesn't look attractive.. nothing against the guy who wears them I just don't think its a turn on.. I agree with freckles it looks like what a woman would wear. my boyfriend is very good looking and in great shape and I can't even picture him in speedos. you can be in shape or bigger and I would still have the same opinion. it just doesn't look good. like I said sorry, no offesnse toi those who wear them
Because it looks like briefs and at time that can be creepy, because we asume the guy is an exhibitionist . I'm fine with the long ones though. I also have a really creepy story, my little sister saw her math teacher at the pool wearing a speedo. She freaked out! The funny thing is she already thought he was weird and a creeper, the speedo incident did not help that one bit.
Because
1. Most guys don't have super toned legs, which is the only thing that looks good in them to me.
2. They look to much like girls to me. Boxer Briefs are best!

Speedos aren't a fashion statement. It's not like guys wear their speedos like the gals wear mini-skirt to the mall shopping.
It's not fun swimming in loose fitting shorts. Speedos are aerodynamic and allows you to glide and slice through the water. And, the tan is much better.
Why is it some people think it weird, gay or inappropriate? Don't be so fast to judge. It's like some guys like to wear pink and pastel colors, does that make them gay? American's (and I suspect some Canadians) tend to be narrow minded.Because the leg hair gets very confused in the upper thigh region, and girls don't really pay much attention to guys legs, speedo's are like a tight micro mini skirt VERY few people actually look good in them and you don't really wear them in public.
No... Just, like, no. Speedos are not like wearing a short skirt. They will never be like wearing a short skirt. There is no explanation *required* as to why girls don't like speedos.
I take it you wear speedos? Hahaha. Do you also have long auburn locks and lift weights on beaches? Hahahaha.
Also, this made me lulz; linka guy in a speedo shows lots of confidence and it shows that their not affird to hide anything. I personally think that guys who wear them are comfortable with who they are and I respect that. and mostly the guys I know who wear them do it for the sport, not please the veiws of otheres. but it is what it is. some guys are cocky with it and some are just laid back, it just depends on the person who wears it, and how they carry themselves.
It's just not a very masculine piece of clothing. It's nice to know the size of a guys junk and all I guess but not while wearing something that looks like panties.
To me, a guy wearing speedo would be equivalent to a girl who has camel toe. I might be wrong, but I don't think camel toe is attractive to guys, so the same goes for me seeing a guy wearing a speedo.
Girls don't like speedos because they are just considered cheesy. Just think about when guy likes a girl who is not dressed too slutty. It leaves more to the imagination.
It's awkward.
I don't really wanna see your package unless I'm gonna be using it in the next 5 minutes.One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. How any man can call themselves straight after wearing such a thing is beyond me.
It's just a turnoff for me I'd rather see my hubby in his boxers or in the nude. speedos are icky to me for some reason.
exactly. you can see more. most people that wear them don't have the body to pull them off. also, they're a bit too teeny tiny. why do you want to show that much thigh?
Because the guy looks like a girl, & that is bothersome. Also, some men shouldn't show too much skin, just like some women shouldn't... The other guys that good in spedos are professional swimmers, everyone else needs to keep their clothes on :O
umm its called get a draggester to go over it, otherwise I think its hot. (swimmer's only please ;) )
no they just look weird to me. I think of them as like almost an undergarmet. its not like you go out in public in your boxers or see girls out in public in just their bras and panties
For the most part we don't want to see more unless we are going to have sex with you. The shape of a flaccid penis and balls is not very arousing.
ha ew, no. It's just not manly. And manly's where it's at
not even close..we don't want to see everything that you got well I dont.but its not that we don't like it so much as its distracting...
Because it looks funny. XD I'm not used to it. But, if the guy is cute, yeah I'd like it.
If your a competitive swimmer than YES... but other than that ... Just NO
Hmmm...i don't mind so much.As long as you have the body to wear it.:)
