I hate that the average non-running pair of shorts covers a guy's knee caps. I am proud of my legs and like to see at least the bottom of my quads when I'm standing yet shorts these days are nearly capri pants. Because of this trend, the only shorts I buy are runner shorts that are about 3 to 4 inches above the patella.

That's my brief rant for the day.

    I very much agree. But can't find anything else and when I do I get "feedback". Sucks, but it is what it is.

    I'm not fond of people who wear shorts in public. You're allowed to be proud, but you look like a mailman.

    Stare at yourself in the mirror before leaving the house for a five solid minutes. That should be enough time to take yourself in.

    I have to buy my husband 'long' shorts. His legs are far too skinny to be seen.....

    In Florida, shorts are almost mandatory.

    Most guys don't have your legs. They need to cover them! :laugh:

    I wear longer shorts because they're more comfortable, I couldn't care less about what someone else sees.

    What's wrong with shorts in public?

    I think board shorts are hot. Especially when the guy's also in shape and without a shirt.

    In fact, some spandex would let everyone see him in all his glory.

    Sorry, I don't care how nice your legs are, but any time I see a guy running in shorts that cut off well above the knee, it's pretty much an instant turn off.

    Truth! I wear shorts here to work, or even to go out at night to a cafe/bar. Most people do the same unless they are in some kind of stuffy corporate/legal environment. And with that, I prefer long shorts because they look a lot less like the mailmans as someone mentioned earlier.
