Swimming laps at the gym, ladies opinion only...

So I've read some women don't like men to wear speedos.

I've started wearing a speedo to swim laps at the gym. I don't have a six pack but I at least have 4, and some hints of V lines...

What do you think of men, at least in pretty good shape(not fat ones..) wearing speedos at the gym pool?

    Personal choice, I don't like anyone in them lol. Or banana hammocks XD
    Just personal choice. But hey, if you want to rock either, go for it :P

    I think it's fine as long as they aren't trying to get attention on themselves.

    I may be the minority with how I tend to view bodies, but a body is just a body. There's nothing particularly sexual, gross, weird, or disturbing about them if they're just going about normal things like swimming. There could be naked people at a pool and it wouldn't make a difference to me, because really, we all know what's under the swimsuits anyway. The parts don't disappear just because you cover them up.

    No. Never. Ever. Ever. On anyone. I don't care if you have an 8 pack. No. Never.

    Board shorts all the way.

    Speedos, religion, and ostentatious display of wealth? He looks like he could be from my home country. I'd hit it on principle.

    The US seems to be one of the few places left where Speedos aren't the norm. Even in the US, I think swimming laps in a pool is an acceptable place for them. I'd imagine regular swimming trunks would get in the way.

    I don't think those are speedo's. Everyone looks like they are in their underwear.

    I don't understand the question. Are you going to the pool to swim laps, or to be looked at by women?

    Speedos are appropriate for pools, I think. But folks in the US have a weird thing about them, so my opinion won't help you much, lol.

    Best answer :)
    (Or I guess question lol).

    As I said, if he wants to rock them, nobody can stop him. :P

    Seriously...I personally just don't care :drinker: When I used to swim on the regular, all I cared about was getting a free lane & not losing my top :laugh: however, something like this might stop me in my tracks...

    It doesn't matter how many abs the guy has or how sexy he is. If he's in a speedo, I just can't help but cringe.

    I really do my best not to look at dudes in the pool and wish the same was true in reverse but I'm not sure.

    I think most of the women who are in the pool regularly except you to be wearing a speedo or jammers. I wouldn't worry about it man. Most of the women in my triathlon group seem to prefer men in a speedo...
