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! *_*

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

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!1 -
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.0

I wear them for comfort. Mostly is my garage where I do my squats and deadlifts so I'm safe there..lol. My wife isn't having me out in public with them on...lol0

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.2 -

The only thing I think of:
But to answer your question, I care not if you wear them at the gym. I see a lot of guys wearing shorts over top, but it's not like people don't know guys have junk down there. Women don't have to wear loose things to cover the shape of their boobs and it's kind of the same thing.0 -
I have compression pants, which are essentially tights. I love them.0

So in the same retrospect can we wear compression pants and lift the waist up to cup our stuff better to show them off. Kinda like how some women wear tight shirts to show of their bewbs better?
