What are your thoughts on men wearing 3/4 length running tights?

Nike-Pro-Combat-Hypercool-Compression-3-4-Length-Mens-Tights-617348_010_A_PREM.jpg

When running, I typically wear shorts overtop and knee high black socks. I've been thinking of ditching the shorts and socks, running in only tights. Would this look too girly or does it work?

Thank you!

    I will allow this. Just don't be offended when I have trouble making eye contact. TYVM

    Look too girly? I used to workout in just under armour leggings. Then all of sudden I lost body fat to see my quad peak out.

    Why do you care what women think of your workout clothes?

    Either full length or shorts. No in between for men. That being said, with a bod like yours (profile pic) I don't think there is even the slightest chance you would look girly in them.

    I'm not a lady, as you can probably see from my profile picture but I do have a question about these man jeggings or yoga mants.
    Are there benefits to wearing these? Is it a matter of helping you run or support or just keeping your junk confined to minimize "flopping"?
  • You mean for working out in right? Don't care.

    Ever have that chaff feeling from too much exercise. Don't we all like to look in the mirror to see our progress while training.

    I was more interested in ascertaining a general consensus. Curiosity, my friend.

    @headohphat - As far as benefits go, I honestly don't know. I enjoy the compression pants and I can hide my knee braces underneath. That's more so the point, covering the ugly knee brace and eliminating the threat of blinding anyone with my white thighs.

    I think men should wear whatever they are comfortable in :smiley:

    Gordie, buy a pair, take a pic and send it to me... The I can tell you lol.

    No seriously though they are fine I see guys wear them all the time. I will just say that when guys wear them the first thing that I notice is the crotch area lol hard not to look

    The majority of women won't be looking past your butt in those, so they won't have a clue they only go mid-calf. They could have 90 feet of bell bottom at the bottom of them and no one would notices as long as they were tight around the booty.

    If you're comfortable in them, then wear them. You have to be comfy. You're running shirtless anyway so you'll look great no matter what's on the bottom half.

    I think full length or shorts on men. Shorts tight or baggy. You would prob look better in those than I do so who am I to judge.
  • Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to go ahead and give these a shot.

    It's like Luis Guzman's character says in Boogie Nights, "Wear what you dig".
