Girls, how much confidence does it take to wear daisy dukes or short shorts?

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I see a lot of girls wearing them down here in the southern part of Texas. I'm just curious as to how much confidence is required to wear them out in public. I'm sure it's a completely different situation than guys wearing shorts because we aren't showing off almost all of our lower torso. Also, do you or have you ever worn these shorts public and do they make you feel uncomfortable and like guys are checking you out or what goes through your mind?

Could somebody do me a favor and rate the question? Thanks.

This is a bit random but I just noticed that guys tend to wear their shorts longer over time and girls are starting to basically wear less and less. Boys- link Girls- link

So girls, are these shorts link not considered short shorts? I would say they were but apparently a lot of girls don't think so.

[musiclover100]

I don't really feel comfortable wearing really short shorts because in some situations you end up showing your butt cheeks to everybody. Like when you bend down or squat or whatever. Plus sometimes if I see a lot of guys checking me out I feel self-conscious and awkward. So I generally steer away from short shorts and tend to wear stuff like this link link link so they cover up my ass without being too long or anything.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I see what you mean, but those shorts are pretty short to me. I would consider those short shorts and that's basically what kind of shorts I had in mind when I first typed up the question.

[musiclover100]

Oh, ha your picture example doesn't really verify that and I based my answer on that.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well those aren't the ones I was considering short shorts or daisy dukes. The ones in the link I posted aren't even shorts, they're more like a thong or something that's flossing their butt.

[Jordikinz]

I don't wear shorts like link or like link I wear something in between that. I definitely don't have the confidence for really short shorts.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well from what I can tell the shorts you do wear still are pretty short, in my opinion. You don't have confidence issues wearing them?

[Jordikinz]

I'm not 100% comfortable in them, but it's hot down here and link 2 is too long.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I think that's why a lot of girls down here in Texas wear them. Where are you currently at?

[Jordikinz]

Tennessee.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Oh, okay. Well it's been hot all over the country, so I'm sure it's been hot over there too.

[Jordikinz]

110 degrees. Pretty hot.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Psh, that's like an AC over here. :P

[Jordikinz]

Well, I'm definitely glad I'm not in Texas because that is wayyy too hot for me. lol

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol I'm joking, it's not that hot over here right now. I'm sure it'll get up there sometime this month, I really hope it doesn't, though.

[Jordikinz]

Well, it sucks. lol

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I'm sure it does.

[SmilesFORyouu]

Im guessing a lot for some and none for others.

For a lot: They might feel insecure or something and for them to wear daisy dukes it makes them build up their confidence.

For none: They just want to show of their body and how happy and proud they are about it.

As for me wearing daisy dukes or short shorts, I wouldn't. Because I don't want creeps staring at me. I mean its nice having dudes stare at you and complimenting you but its awful having 40 year olds creeps saying how nice legs you have or how nice your but looks like. And well don't wear them because I don't like pedos>.<

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well if you want nice or 'hot' guys staring at you in the shorts, you're also going to have older guys staring too. So it's either an 'all in or folding' situation. haha

[SmilesFORyouu]

i know. that's why I don't wear short shorts that my butt is sticking out, haha. but if I wore them it wouldn't be about confidence issues. Just about those pervs. :P

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

haha Alright, I get what you're saying. So do you wear shorts at all?

[SmilesFORyouu]

yep, shorts, skirts, and dresses:)

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well do you have a link for the length of shorts you wear? I'm just curious because it just seems like that's about the length for most shorts now and days.

[SmilesFORyouu]

the link in your update it the type of shorts I wear lol :)

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I consider those shorts pretty short.

[jesstacia]

Being 5'8 I'm pretty tall in the suburb I live in. I see a lot of short people wearing daisy dukes and it looks completely fine, but when I wear it, I just feel really self-conscious especially when guys look me up and down. :/ The disadvantages of being tall.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So being short doesn't make them look as bad because you can't see so much leg or what?

[jesstacia]

I don't know. It just doesn't look as slutty because you can't see as much skin I guess.

[99PROBLEMS]

So true.

You get so much more attention then those little girls

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well yeah, I guess that's what I meant when I said you can't see as much because you're shorter. I don't know, I still think they're pretty revealing no matter how tall you are. Just my opinion, though.

[starlight124]

it can take a lot of confidence because many people will judge you by how they fit you and your leg structure and tone. for some girls it's nothing because they have a great figure but for others who don't have model looking legs they may feel very insecure and not want to wear them because they're embarrassed, if they do they still worry bout what other people are thinking when they're out.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I honestly don't think too many people actually sit there and judge girls on how the shorts fit them, their leg structure, and tone. I think that's what girls think other people do and why they avoid wearing them. I think it's a mental thing.

[starlight124]

some guys are jerks and judge girls that way, I know a few guys who do at least

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

There probably is guys that do that. I've never really thought that deeply about it. I just think of how good their legs look in the shorts and if they don't catch my attention or they're just not the type I'm into, I just look somewhere else. I'm not going to sit there and criticize their legs, I have better things to do.

[Skyler123]

Well I think it just depends on your figure. I have really big thighs so naturally my legs are kind of big, but not in the sense where they look like two-by-fours. They're big and very curvy along with a decently round bottom. Having a nice butt in combo with nice legs though makes the figure look killer though when worn with daisy dukes.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well I guess it's because you feel comfortable in your body. I think a lot of girls don't feel confident, so the refrain from wearing shorts like that. Some girls say it's not a confidence issue, though.

[Skyler123]

Yeah that too. But if I knew I didn't have a nice behind to compliment my legs I wouldn't dare wear them. Haha.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

haha Well then I guess it's because you're comfortable with your legs and buttocks.

[Skyler123]

@Update: LOL. No those are not short shorts. Those are what you would call booty-shorts. Cause well...you can see why. lol

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I guess I'm the only one who thinks they're short shorts.

[Catie101]

one of the only things I'm not insecure about at all would be my legs so wearing short shorts is just something I do and don't even think about. I am not uncomfortable in them and I like how they look. but I do still like to keep it classy; none of my shorts are short enough that my butt is hanging out or anything.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well that's good. Are the shorts you wear more like this length? link Or what length do they tend to be? I would still consider those in that link short shorts but apparently a lot of other girls don't.

[Catie101]

no theyre about 3/4 inch shorter that I wear. those are almost short shorts

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Wow, so those 3/4 of an inch are that critical?

[Catie101]

yeah that to an inch and a 1/4. I'm really picky about length.

[Catie101]

you can see how short I like em (my display picture)

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well I still think the ones you're wearing in your display pic are short shorts. Not that I'm saying you should change what you wear but I would still say those are short shorts. I don't know, I don't really see the difference at all. Maybe us guys don't really notice it because we're not the ones wearing shorts that short.

[tierra]

none, I wear them all the time, it's hot over here so I'm not going to wear pants, I wear them out in public all the time, as long as they're not so short that your vagina is popping out I don't think there is any problem with them, and when guys check me out, it kinda makes me feel good about myself, but other times it makes me a little uncomfortable

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So it takes absolutely no confidence to wear them or are you just extremely comfortable in your own body? Yeah, it's pretty damn hot here in Texas, I think that's why a lot of girls wear them down here. At least that's one good thing about Texas.

[tierra]

well it doesn't take any confidence for me, I don't know about other people, so I guess you could say I'm just extremely comfortable with my body, and I live right outside chicago, so it's not as hot here as it probably is down there, but it hasn't been lower than 95 in weeks

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I'm sure you're just comfortable in your body, which is good. I think about half of the other girls who've answered this question say that they don't really feel comfortable wearing them or some sort. I guess it just depends. Yeah, it's been hot all over the U.S lately except for the west coast. You guys just have dry heat up there in Chicago or is there a high humidity level too?

[tierra]

yea I guess it just depends on the girl, and no it is pretty humid up here! is it humid or just dry heat down there?

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Oh, it can get really humid down here. Sometimes the humidity gets up to about 88% which really sucks.

[peace-love-couture]

I wear short-shorts sometimes, like when it's hot af, but I have pretty bad looking legs so I don't wear them often >.< Not gonna lie though, I would if my legs were thin ha link

One day though, I shall have said legs and will wear short shorts on a regular basis

Takes quite a bit of confidence

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Those legs aren't bad. I personally like thicker, more athletic looking legs. That's why I find softball and volleyball players hot. I thought it would take quite a bit of confidence.

[peace-love-couture]

Those aren't how my legs look >.< mine are bigger so they look bad in short shorts ha they're too muscular, but if I had legs like the ones in the link I'd wear them often cause it's hot

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well I'm sure there's guys out there who like really muscular legs. Honestly, they're not really my thing but I'm sure there's somebody out there who likes them. It all comes down on how you feel about them, though. It sure is pretty damn hot in Texas right now. This is better than last summer, though.

[peace-love-couture]

I don't like them though ha. I know they're too big and I'm working on thinning them out though by eating less and exercising more. I just don't know how long it'll take to go from legs like this: link to this: link

By the time it happens I might be past the age of it being appropriate to wear them ya know

But I know a ton of girls who wear them

[peace-love-couture]

5 stars

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well those aren't really bad at all. I tend to like thicker legs and thighs. Like I said, there's plenty of other guys out there who do too. I would most definitely choose the first link to the second one. I'm pretty sure the girls with legs like the second link wish they had legs like in the first link. haha

I think you shouldn't really worry about it and go ahead and wear them whenever you feel like it.

[peace-love-couture]

they look bad compared to thin legs but it's fine ha. Not all girls are lucky enough to be able to wear things like that. that's life

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Eh, I don't really think so. Oh well. That's true, though. Not everybody can wear things like that...or maybe they can. I've seen some pretty big ladies wearing shorts like that.

[peace-love-couture]

haha, fat girls "with confidence" I suppose

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Everybody needs some type of confidence.

[peace-love-couture]

Well, if it helps, I wear these: link

link

I'm short though and my legs are like the ones I show you so I always do the bend over trick. If I bend over and stuff can be seen, too short. But I'm short so the shorts tend to compliment my height

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well I would consider those shorts, short shorts. I think that's a proper rule or trick to have, it's not good to have stuff showing.

[peace-love-couture]

They're short, but I don't find them to be inappropriate. Those in particular look short on Alessandra cause she's a VS model, but throw them on me and they're bermuda shorts

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well I personally find them just as inappropriate as all the other shorts girls have posted on this thread. The only ones that would be extremely inappropriate are the ones in the link I posted yesterday. I'm not looking for an argument, I'm just seriously questioning how the shorts Poetic linked and the shorts I linked a couple of minutes ago are any different. I also don't know what bermuda shorts are...

[peace-love-couture]

Bermudas are a little shorter than Capri shorts/pants. They're mid thigh, slightly above the knee but for some reason more fitting

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Ah, okay. Well Bermuda shorts don't sound too bad, but I'm sure it all depends on the person.

[Andijoy]

I really never thought about it. I like wearing short shorts I just feel comfortable wearing them so it was more about what was comfy then confidence I had

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So it was never a confidence situation for you? I guess it's only some girls who have confidence issues.

[Andijoy]

well I wouldn't say it never is confidence issue, but when it comes to shorts that's not confidence...with other things that I wear sometimes it is if that makes sense haha

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So would you say you have confidence issues wearing two piece bikinis or what? Yeah, it makes sense.

[Baby-Gurl]

I don't feel uncomfortable when I where them but then again a like my body lolz. It all depends on the lady and how she feels about herself and where she wants to show her body off like that.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well that's good. Do you ever think about how guys are checking out your legs, though? I agree, I definitely think it depends on how confident a girl feels about her body.

[Baby-Gurl]

ha, I don't really care to much. ha, it happens when I skirts or skinny jeans lolz

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Yeah, that's true. I was just curious as to if it affected your choice in wearing the shorts or not.

[Baby-Gurl]

No, it hasn't but I like my legs though to also so that probably contributes to why I choose to wear short shorts or daisy dukes

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I think liking your legs has a lot to do with it. I'm sure if you like your legs you'll want to show them off.

[Baby-Gurl]

Yep, It does. See it all has to do with how a women feels about herself.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Yep.

[Red_Raconteur]

Eh, not much. I'm not particularly confident but believe and have been told that my legs are my best feature, so I wear them.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Do YOU like how your legs look?

[Red_Raconteur]

Yeah, but that's not overall confidence, just confidence in my legs.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Well maybe that's all it takes to want to show them off and wear those shorts.

[PoeticNinja]

Does short dresses count? - I only own a couple short shorts.. Nothing really goes through my mind.. I just like how they fit me overall.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Um...I guess they do if they show a lot of leg. So you don't have a confidence problem or anything come to mind when you wear them?

[PoeticNinja]

Well, I mean.. I worry about how my legs look in them but then again, it's the only clothes I wear in the Summer. So, I just kind of have to deal with.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Ah, okay. I'm sure you look fine, though.

[PoeticNinja]

@Update - I would never wear those shorts out in public. F*** THAT. You need to have a nice ass for that.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol I'm just wanted to point out the evolution of shorts for men and women. Apparently guys want to wear something capri-like and girls want to wear...nothing.

[PoeticNinja]

@Second update - Those aren't short at all!

link - These are short shorts..

[peace-love-couture]

that chick has a nice body

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Wow, you girls make no sense to me at all. I personally see no difference. The only difference I would see is that link I posted just a couple of minutes ago and that link I posted yesterday with the girl with her ass cheeks hanging out.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I agree with couture, that girl does have a nice body, though.

[PoeticNinja]

Her body is pretty hot, indeed.

- The link you posted yesterday, the shorts were cut to curve. The shorts the girl I linked, I am sure her ass wasn't... What do you mean, we don't make sense?

link - Way too short, similar to the one you posted.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

You girls don't make sense because apparently a quarter of an inch makes them either too short or just the right amount. I seriously doubt that miniscule of a measurement is that much of a difference. I know those shorts are way too short. I think they're short, I don't think you're going to be able to convince me to believe otherwise.

[calialltheway1993]

I wouldn't mind wearing short shorts or daisy dukes. All my shorts are short shorts.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

You don't have a confidence issue while wearing them?

[calialltheway1993]

No, I don't.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Alright, well that's good.

[Anonymous]

I would never wear Daisy Dukes, I would't feel comfortable in them. I do wear shorter shorts but only when it's real hot. And if guys holler, well it does make me feel a bit shy but oh well.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol Can you find or post a link of the length of shorts that you typically wear on a hot day?

[Opinion Owner]

Every time I try to post links here, they never work.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Oh, are you a bad with computers or you're probably not a level 3.

[Opinion Owner]

link

Lets see.

[Opinion Owner]

See..

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol I think you're probably bad with computers. No offense.

[Opinion Owner]

@update: To go to the beach they are OK, other than that, gotta have more respect.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So what type of shorts do you wear when you go out to the store or the mall?

[Anonymous]

sh*t loads I never wear short shorts unless they are pjs (the sweat shorts) because no one can see me in them except me

and I would feel as if I am naked in public so I wouldn't wear em

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

This is how I would feel if I was a girl and I was wearing shorts like that. lol It's like your showing everything but your buttocks and vag.

[Opinion Owner]

actually some of the short shorts show some of your butt which is like your wearing panties

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Yeah, well the link that I posted up there is like that girl is wearing panties.

[stillagoodgirl]

To wear it without leggings I think it takes a whole lot

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Do leggings help just because you aren't showing your bare skin?

[stillagoodgirl]

ya and by leggings I mean tights-kind of see through

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Oh, well I'm still sure leggins help a bit. I would wear booty shorts if I could wear leggings. :D

[stillagoodgirl]

Ya I don't like my skinny leggs but id rather wear a short skirt than short pants,of course with tights.

[Anonymous]

Ya one summer I accidentally went to church wearing short shorts ya I felt like a slutt , it does take a lot of confidence to not be insecure when old guys are looking at you, lol. Ya I'm in south Texas as well

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

haha I don't know if I would really associate those shorts with 'sluts'. I just think there just another fashion trend. I would think they were slutty if they were actually going up their butts like some girls wear them. I think that's a bit promiscuous. Awesome, high five for south Texas.

[LonelyandInTheDark]

It takes a banging butt/legs to wear them with confidence

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Do you wear them with confidence?

[LonelyandInTheDark]

i've never tried on a daisy duke in my whole entire life.

I went out to town in short shorts once...short shorts I can manage, not daisy dukes, not THAT confident, yet ;)...

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So you don't have a problem with short shorts?

[Anonymous]

I don't think girls are allowed to walk in public with their buttt checks out and it doesn't take confidence it just means you want atttention

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So you don't or wouldn't wear any of those shorts in the links?

[Opinion Owner]

nope.bes answer/

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Oh, okay.

You want BA. Is that it?

[Opinion Owner]

Is it that obvious?

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

No...

[Opinion Owner]

Well may I have best answer sir?. Por favor

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

No thank you.

[Opinion Owner]

ok

[Anonymous]

I don't really wear short shorts...I feel uncomfortable in them.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Do you wear any type of short clothing?

[Opinion Owner]

i'll wear shorts like link but not like link (if you can't tell...there's an inch difference)

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol No, I can't tell the difference at all. They both look pretty short to me, though. So you don't have a confidence problem wearing the shorts in the first link?

[Opinion Owner]

its not really a matter of confidence. I know I have great looking legs...I just don't like feeling so exposed & "indecent" with really short shorts.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense too. So can YOU tell me what the difference between those two shorts is?

[Opinion Owner]

an inch may not seem like much but when you're trying them both on, you can tell. yeah, a lot of my thigh is showing in both of them...but the shorter of the two just feels like its way too short.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Woah, then you must be really picky in what you wear. I'm sure it does make a difference when you're wearing them. I certainly don't like my shorts to be on or above the knee. I would prefer them to be a bit longer than knee length.

[Opinion Owner]

haha I'm not really that picky...i just want to make sure things fit and aren't exposing too much.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol Choosing some shorts over another pair just because they're an inch longer sounds pretty picky. Both of those links look like they had everything covered up. I couldn't tell the difference.

[Opinion Owner]

in my mind "picky" is when you choose one color over another just because you like it better. or not wearing zebra print because your best friend wears it and you don't want to look like you're copying her. that's ridiculous in my mind. but picking something that covers you up more (even if it is just an inch) because you care about presenting yourself in a decent way at all times...i don't see what's wrong with that.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

lol I wouldn't see the things you mentioned as picky. I would see what you're doing pretty picky, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I also think other people wouldn't notice the difference between those two shorts unless you mean them being a bit rolled up makes them presentable. That's the only difference I noticed. Oh well, though.

[Opinion Owner]

haha alright

[Lonergirl0506]

Well...I never wear them

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

You never wear short shorts like any of those in the links?

[Lonergirl0506]

I wear shorts but... Not so short

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

So how shorts are the ones you wear? I mean are they shorter than knee length?

[Lonergirl0506]

Not really. I don't wear those shorts because my leg is hairy. Period.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

...You could shave or wax, if you wanted to. I'm not sure if you like doing that or not, though.
