Warm weather time for Speedos

This last week of Winter is unseasonably warm and, this brings up thoughts of swimsuit season.

So consider this: When many women lose weight and get fit, they celebrate being able to show it off in a bikini. If guys put in the effort to get to a healthy weight and exercise to get toned, shouldn't they also be allowed to show it off? :happy:

Speedos are practical for (you guessed it) swimming, comfortable, dry fast, and leave a nice tan line. The knock on them for being unsightly (esp. on fat hairy guys) or gay is bogus. Fat hairy people are unhealthy and unpleasant to look at in Speedos OR shorts. Flat fit abs are hot in Speedos AND shorts. They are popular among gay guys, but plenty of straight guys also like them. Some women/girls don't like to see the outline of a guys package, but some dig it. So, I say live and let live; look or look away; to each his/her own. :wink:

    Only dudes allowed to wear speedos are Olympic swimmers, professional bodybuilders and Europeans. That's it!

    Btw, grapes and bananas ARE legal here in the US so you don't have to smuggle them in.

    I agree with you. Men should be able to rear them with pride. If a guy wants to wear one, he should not be judged. Women are able to wear anything from a one piece down to a thong bikini, so why not a man. If we work out hard, why cant we wear a suit that shows our hard work?

    Not all fat hairy people are unhealthy :grumble:

    I'm fat and hairy and I'm most certainly not unhealthy. I also wear Speedo's (i.e. the brand) shorts when swimming because they are indeed very practical rather than nylon shorts, which are ok for leisure swimming and lounging.

    If you're talking about Speedos as in high-cut brief-style trunks, then I think they're ok for pool & beach, but not very practical for general leisure wear.

    Do as you will.. but I see far more men, being drawn to this "speedo" look then most ladies... so if attention by the same sex is all good .. go for it.

    I swam competitively for 10 years and I lived in Speedos....sadly my current physical state does not make them appropriate or enjoyable for anyone.

    In Australia they are known as 'Budgie smugglers' ... A Budgie is a small bird often kept as a pet (about the size of a canary)
