4th?
dude. this is like the third or fourth zombie thread that has been bumped by you today. you must be super ****ing bored.What about banana hammocks?
also: i agree with the double standard comment. and, my man would look hot in any of the above, but he's hottest naked :smokin:
Dang, ...slacking.0 -
An appropriate use of the Speedo.
You're welcome.
god, seriously: thanks. i almost never comment on things like this, but they've made mad improvements on the speedo, yeah?
Just stopping by to point out that they are indeed Olympic swimmers. The ONLY guys who get to rock these are these guys and a handful of others in the pool simultaneously. If you aren't one of them, then NO.
I swim in a pool in Rome 4 days a week. I see alot of good bods like this---even on the older guys. In Italy, Speedos are it for swimming. I really don't understand the problem American women have with them, except perhaps the overweight population in the States make it an eyesore. I'll point out that Italians eat alot of carbs and have great bods overall--but that's another thread.0 -
I love the double standard here.
If a guy wears a speedo with a less than perfect body, it is gross. But we are supposed to accept women in bikinis regardless of her fitness level.
Women in bikinis who have a less than perfect body are gross too. In general bikinis and speedos are completely classless swimwear.
I must be classless, but I really like girls in bikinis0 -

Me too.0 -
In my opinion even the most gorgeous man on earth looks bad with speedos. They can ruin the nest bodies. Just like those micro-bikinis look bad on women. It's... strange...
Boardshort are good for beach sports... but I see them as strange when just sitting at the beach.
Trunks. Definetly trunks. Not to tight, not to baggy. Just normal trunks.0 -
Just a question---what kind of tan are you getting with board shorts? When you take them off the tan line is gross. Like a farmer tan when you wear a t-shirt in the sun. Speedos give the best tan.0

Speedos are weird. ALWAYS. It makes me think of a man wearing little kid undies.0

Boardshorts are for boys and surfers. Like actual surfers with a surfboard.
This is probably the reason for my strong bias on this subject
Of course, you wear a speedo under your board shorts for when you get off your board. You know, because tan lines. I've seen it. It's black with white stripes.0 -

It's so important to avoid those tan lines!!!

How the hell is a bikini classless swimwear?0 -
Hey women, we don't wear swimwear to the beach to impress you. We do it to impress other men.
What?0 -
I'm totally cool with Speedos, if the dude has the body to rock them. My personal favorite are the Daniel Craig Casino Royale style, though.

No speedo, please. They creep women out. True story.
False story. On a lean build with nice legs they are dead sexy.0 -

Same here in the Netherlands. I actually frown upon guys who wear board shorts to the pool. Same goes for bikinis. You just don't swim lanes in board shorts or in bikinis; it's weird.0 -

Not only that, they usually don't swim very well, so you don't want to be in a lane with them. The serious swimmers wear appropriate swimwear--speedos and tank suits.0 -

No. There's definitely a place for speedos. Under wet suits and swimming laps are two of them. I always think of this question in terms of what guys are wearing to the beach. Again, I have an admitted natural bias here. Speedos on Florida beaches are frowned upon. If you're in Europe go right ahead.0 -

Yeah, guys on Cali beaches that wear speedos are kinda laughed at. The only exception is if they're European and they don't know better.
You know, I've seen alot of swimwear fashions come and go. Just because Speedos aren't the "fashion" on America's beaches right now, doesn't mean that in about 5 years we maynot see an abrupt turnaround--everybody in Speedos. Yay!

I've played "name that nationality" with other expat friends based on swimwear alone. Pretty silly and harmless but yea, funny enough attitudes towards swimwear vary quite a bit depending on where someone is from.0 -
Trunks or boardshorts! Not into the speedo, haha0

Funny, we play the same game in Rome with tourists, but, as you're aware tourists bring in money, so....................watch what you say.0 -
I think it just depends on the person. I've worn board shorts and mid length tight trunks like boxer briefs. Don't really care what people think. I think they are comfortable and like the style. I actually got checked out a lot more with the tighter trunks. But I think anybody can wear anything as long as they are confident. I gave up caring what people think a long time ago. Hell I wear old school golf outfits to the course with the 1920's style knickers and argyle socks. Why? Cause I think it's awesome. People laugh their butts off and it's a great convo starter. Wear what ever makes you happy.0

I don't like to wear anything under my wetsuit. It's so uncomfy. :grumble:0
