Women's opinion, Men's swimwear

Just wondering, what do you ladies find most attractive on guy who is in really good shape? I've always worn trunks but I've gotten into better shape and have considered a speedo.

Trunks, speedo, boardshort?

    Trunks. You can show off your upper body while still leaving something for the imagination. ;)

    There is only one answer.

    Board shorts.

    Speedos are not attractive. They serve a purpose for elite Olympic swimmers because they allow better freedom of movement and streamlined swimming. They serve a purpose for bodybuilders in competition because they allow judges to see glute, quad, and hamstring definition.

    If you are not wearing a speedo to swim in the Olympics or you haven't found yourself in a bodybuilding competition, please do not wear them.

    As a woman who lives on a beach and sees all kinds, just put on the board shorts and show off your chest and back. We can make a determination as to the fitness of the rest of you by the fit of said shorts.

    Oh, and trunks are for dudes over 55.

    I can totally appreciate a well built man in a speedo. Honestly I wish they were more fashionable in the U.S. BUT they aren't, so I'd still recommend board shorts. Even if you are hot, and I think you are hot, others will probably think you are a douche.

    At my sister's wedding, which was in lovely Mexico. No one congratulated her more that middle aged british guys in speedos. Not 100% sure why they were all British... They made great conversational photos though, our group dressed for a wedding and random strange men in speedos walking around posing. lol. Go for the speedo, and crash a wedding. Least you will get a giggle out of it. Wouldn't be the same in trunks.

    NO SPEEDOS. Trunks are for old dudes. Board shorts all the way, in a fun color.

    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 must be old. I don't even know what "board shorts" are.

    And I was not approved for my "spandex license", so I am not allowed to wear speedos...or any other spandex or spandex-like clothing.

    But if we like to look at these boys in the Olympics why wouldn't we want to look at similarly fit boys at the beach?

    <- Also a perv.
