    I have several pair of compression pants. Some are crop/Capri length, some are full length. I have no issues with them

    Wear whatever you like and is comfortable to you. If you're jogging down the street in a banana hammock, more power to you

    Convo this morning got me thinking, is this something you all see at your local gyms? I'm talking about the under armour/Nike compression ones. I wear them on occasion, especially on deadlift days since I already have enough scars on my shins from the bar hitting my legs.

    Out of curiosity, what say ye MFP - men in tights, yay or nay?

    I have a few and I really like them, the UA "Alter Ego" line with the super hero shirts. I have Batman/Superman. I find that the guys don't tend to like them much where you'll get smirks and stuff but the women do.

    Superman tights?! I need pics please! *_*

    This one time- before fun & games and chit chat were spilt- there was a thread about compression pants. The guy posted full frontal, side, and back view-close up- and asked us to tell him "whats the big deal?! They're just like leggings!" (Btw- there was nothing big about the deal...)

    It was probably the funniest and most successful thread I have ever been a part of.

    Moral of the story- you gotta 1) tuck it away at least a little 2) make sure it's something to write home about or 3) wear shorts over them (<--- best option)

    Why? Because just like camel toe ain't cute (well... Not to everyone)

    Moose knuckles aren't either.

    (PS: before the OFFENDACONS come after me- I feel the same way about booty shorts, "sports bras" with nothing on top, and generally speaking I am not into the over revealing of either sex when in public situations... So- don't.)

    Something to write home about :flushed:

    I personally don't like to see men in tights. It makes the package really stick out and I can't avoid staring and it. I also think it looks feminine but to each their own. I see men in compression shorts a lot and I never think twice about it. Wear whatever you're comfortable with and what fits your needs.

    Feminine packages REALLY sticking out. :huh: LOLOL!

    There is a body of evidence that men wearing tights in the gym ENHANCES gym effectiveness.

    **EVIDENCE**
    I always experience increased heart rate and increased endurance when there are men wearing tights working out hard in the gym.

    And ... on a related topic, men in shorts enhance my gym attendance and length of stay.

    As a dancer, I have seen many men in tights. Go ahead wear tights. Wear whatever you want. I don't personally have hang ups about seeing fit human bodies in motion. I don't find it feminine. Actually very masculine on men and feminine on women. I didn't know about deadlift socks. Now I am interested in this. Sometimes I wear a little chiffon skirt over tights or tight shorts. So similar to how men wear shorts over tights.

    ive seen loads wearing them under loose shorts .. if they have a purpose for you personally while your working out then go for it ..if its a fashion accessory then noooooo

    How can you tell the difference? Lets say it's fall time I'm wearing them under my MTB shorts and head to the pub on the way home.

    On the trail, they serve a purpose. At the pub not so much but I'm not going to change in route.
