Search Results: my boyfriend lies

Men in my area used to always wear shorts that were well below the knee, with the absolute shortest acceptable length being knee-length. It was kind of an unspoken rule for men to never let shorts go above their knees.

One day though, starting in around 2020 or so, men in my area began suddenly wearing shorts that were well above the knees and showed some thigh. It was a seemingly overnight change. I thought it would be a trend that went away quickly, but it stuck... and not gonna lie, I REALLY don't like it.

Like obviously other people can wear what they want, but I absolutely HATE how it looks. I don't quite know how to describe why, but it makes men look so... naked? It just looks too revealing. I just don't think men's thighs are a feature that need to be shown off. It's like the male equivalent of women wearing butt cheek shorts.

Like the 3 guys in the above photo, I think they would look IMMENSELY better if their shorts at least went to their knees or slightly below. They just kind of look like they're in their boxers, I guess?

That's not the main issue though. You can't even find the longer men's shorts anymore. My male friends told me this when I asked them about the length of men's shorts these days, and I checked the men's section and could confirm. You just couldn't find anything longer than a 9 inch inseam.

And yeah... I'm just really not liking this trend. If I had a boyfriend I'll make sure he never wears shorts that go above his knees... he'll be allowed to wear knee-length or below the knee shorts only! Lol okay no, not really, he can wear whatever he wants, but I'll just verbalize to him that I REALLY don't like it. I don't necessarily want him to change his fashion choices just to please me, but hopefully I incentivize him to at least TRY longer shorts, and/or buy at least a couple.

TL;DR- I'm just absolutely NOT a fan. I don't know, men's thighs are just not particularly attractive to me.
