    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.

    100% agree

    Was looking through my high school year book the other day. The shorts they wore back then in the early 80's are just nasty. Everything all pulled up and too tight it looks painful. Not to mention the legs lol... makes the legs look like sticks lol HOw the heck did they run in those things? Oh and top it off with the white knee socks with the stripes in a color that matches the shorts lol

    In Florida, shorts are almost mandatory.

    Same here. I can't stand for men to wear short running shorts. Not attractive AT ALL!

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

    also this.

    I see what you're saying. Just take your normal shorts and cut out a hole where your junk is

    I use whatever is most comfortable, but that happens to be smaller pair of shorts that have compression shorts built in. dont care about anyone else..If you dont mind that, there's a brand here called 'Matrix' that seems to work for me. You may be able to grab a pair online from a canadian store.

    I don't like super short shorts on men, but I do appreciate a good pair of man legs. Too many guys have chicken legs these days.

    OP: if you want to get your shorts a bit shorter, you can take them to a tailor or seamstress and have them hemmed a bit. As long as they're not cargo shorts, they should look fine an couple inches shorter to make you more comfortable.

    I loved watching the cross country runners go by in there shoes and shorty shorts (guys) in college. On Halloween I saw one in a furr spedo and fur arm bands.

    And I hate short shorts on anyone. Can cope with it if they are exercising though.
    I am a hypocrite I wear them around the house when its hot, just not in public.

    I prefer my shorts JUST above the knee. Not TOO short, but not like an NBA player either. Also, cargo shorts are gone. Unless you are a broke college kid with no sense of style.

    I don't mind short shorts on a guy when he's working out or running. However, I'd prefer to see him in board shorts or cargos outside of that.

    Otherwise what happens? Do you experience all five stages of the grieving process?

    Land's End sells men's shorts with 9" or 6" inseams. I like a guy with nice, muscular legs; so I say if you got it, flaunt it. However, do leave a little to the imagination lol :wink:
