Remember rule #1: be attractive If you're fit and attractive, you can wear just about anything and people will still find you attractive.

Oh hell no! 😳 🤣🤣🤣 Any tighter and you'll see what he had for breakfast! They can NOT be comfortable

OfDeath · Answer

Ah, the shorts of the 80s. I remember when I was first going to school, these are the type of shorts I had to wear and my mother would send me off mid winter at 7am in these because she thought I would get hot later. I never did. It was cold all day and to this day, I still have the scars from intensely painful goosebumps. I actually started packing a pair or pants in my bag to change into.

Uhh.. what was the question? Oh yes. No. No I would not wear those today. There is nothing good about that style of shorts.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Nah, too short, even for me.

Wearing shorts in public is kind of weird for me, like I last wore ones about 2-3 inches above my legs and some were staring at me.

My gym ones are pretty short too, but that's for the gym and they're still longer than that, although not by much.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not now, but back in the day, they were the only length/style of shorts you could get. I recall getting my first pair of board shorts though when I was 17 which are similar to the length we wear today.

I bought them at a surf shop where I purchased my wind surfer.

FreyaRed · Answer

With well trained legs a guy will look sexy in such shorts but most guys have toothpick or chicken legs and those shorts will likely look ridiculous on them

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Even though it can sometimes be attractive, I personally wouldn’t wear shorts exposing my knees. In middle school, some even said that I was wearing girls’ shorts, because ‘any shorts that don’t cover the knees are short shorts’ like I actually believed it. It’s just that in my culture, knees must be covered.

BeMuse · Answer

I use to watch that show as a kid. In that era we use to wear baggy Jams down past our knees. My Dad use to wear khaki boat shorts. We lived in South Florida which is a hot and humid climate. Nobody was dressing like Magnum P. I.

NathanDavis · Answer

not a chance...

RavVid · Answer

Not for me, thank you. I wouldn't go so far as bermuda shorts down past the knee but equally not above mid thigh. More practical. If you sit down on seat in the hot summer sun you won't immediately have to jump up.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Only time I wore shorts close to that length was for cross country. Those shorts on a daily basis look wrong. Prefer longer to be either at or just above the knees.

Maxsc2003 · Answer

Those look like, what, 2 inch inseam? I would wear that 2-3 inch length swimming. But a little short for me for everyday wear outside of swimming. I just bought several 5 inch inseam shorts for everyday wear and love them... very comfortable and perfect length.

WriterDreams · Answer

I think yes it can look good on men today.  It's good to see the strength in men's thighs.  If it is the style the guy wants I think they should go for it.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Nope. Don't wanna get gang raped by gay dudes. Where I live, that's asking for it. And that's in spite all the crazy other outfits locals wear. I've seen a little bit of everything.

AviatorTom · Answer

Back in the day I wore these but not today. I prefer somethign a little longer and not so tight in the crotch.

strateguy632 · Answer

RobT312 · Answer

Yup, I have legs on the shorter side, I could pull them off. I’d just make sure the crotch isn’t so tight!

MementoMori777 · Answer

Maybe if I was rich, simply cause I'd have fuck you kinda money and if someone don't wanna see that my legs well too damn bad I'm rich lol

bolverk · Answer

Oh the 80's - I never wore or would have considered buying shorts like that now, way too restrictive, certain parts of the male anatomy does not react well to being squished.

TheIrishWolf · Answer

Nah, it's gay. But I do look good when I wear shorts that are on the looser spectrum to that. Showing off some man Leg.

magiusX26 · Answer

nope. too tight in the crotch, not enough coverage of thighs for hot summer seats, and not enough pockets/pocket space

AaronKrieger · Answer

Nah, I have some skinny ass legs, so I am good

UniquelyBasic · Answer

I would if I had great looking legs 😅 but unfortunately I don't.

leahzrc · Answer

whenever I see men wearing this length of shorts at work I think they look hot

ChiTown33 · Answer

He'll no! My legs are long enough. Even baggy shorts look normal on me. So ain't no way I'm wearing nut huggers like those.

Reorx · Answer

I couldn't, I have to wear under shorts, i prefer nike proline & regular dri-fit shorts over. If I wore those I'd get in trouble as they're not long enough to hide if i get turned on.

exitseven · Answer

I have a couple of pair of them leftover from my youth. They are a little snug.

Juxtapose · Answer

I want a pair of shorts that can actually fit my phone and wallet in the pockets. Cargo shorts are nice.

art84 · Answer

Those are short shorts and look uncomfortable around the crotch area.

varan69 · Answer

Yes I used to wear em before my injury lol. I still use some type of short shorts but just when I do sports, because they the only ones I have haha

Inquisitive98 · Answer

I don't know! I love my long shorts but short shorts do look comfortable. Sometimes short shorts make men look stank.

EaterPeter · Answer

Only long leg Thomas Magnum can rock it. I am tall though I would not want to wear it. I can wear something like that in pool.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

People laugh now but they forget that we were experiencing a dire fabric shortage in the 1980s.

Sparkie460 · Answer

No I never wore them. They look too tight. I need room to move

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

The dude has muscular thighs tho so its kinda different. But no. Just looks too uncomfortable and skin tight to me
