    same rules apply to this as all my other personal rules. idgaf. makeup? idc. lululemon yoga pants, idc. grunting. idc. sportsbras. idc. only thing that really annoys me is really strong cheap deodorant pee-yew and the only rule i really care about is put your efing weights away.

    I personally don't like to see men in tights. It makes the package really stick out and I can't avoid staring and it. I also think it looks feminine but to each their own. I see men in compression shorts a lot and I never think twice about it. Wear whatever you're comfortable with and what fits your needs.

    Feminine packages REALLY sticking out. :huh: LOLOL!

    There is a body of evidence that men wearing tights in the gym ENHANCES gym effectiveness.

    **EVIDENCE**
    I always experience increased heart rate and increased endurance when there are men wearing tights working out hard in the gym.

    And ... on a related topic, men in shorts enhance my gym attendance and length of stay.

    As a dancer, I have seen many men in tights. Go ahead wear tights. Wear whatever you want. I don't personally have hang ups about seeing fit human bodies in motion. I don't find it feminine. Actually very masculine on men and feminine on women. I didn't know about deadlift socks. Now I am interested in this. Sometimes I wear a little chiffon skirt over tights or tight shorts. So similar to how men wear shorts over tights.

    ive seen loads wearing them under loose shorts .. if they have a purpose for you personally while your working out then go for it ..if its a fashion accessory then noooooo

    How can you tell the difference? Lets say it's fall time I'm wearing them under my MTB shorts and head to the pub on the way home.

    On the trail, they serve a purpose. At the pub not so much but I'm not going to change in route.

    The only thing I think of:



    But to answer your question, I care not if you wear them at the gym. I see a lot of guys wearing shorts over top, but it's not like people don't know guys have junk down there. Women don't have to wear loose things to cover the shape of their boobs and it's kind of the same thing.

    I have compression pants, which are essentially tights. I love them.

    So in the same retrospect can we wear compression pants and lift the waist up to cup our stuff better to show them off. Kinda like how some women wear tight shirts to show of their bewbs better?

    I know you guys are joking and stuff. But boobs aren't the same as genitals. In many places it's actually legal for women as well as men to be topless. That's why women can breast feed and it's allowed at Pride parades and certain events because technically it's already legal (just not allowed at all businesses or considered socially acceptable). But, only in very specific cases would it be permitted for people to expose their genitals (nude beach, private club, hot springs, etc).

    Meggings are like speedos...few men can pull them off and look good doing it. Tights with shorts over are cool.

    Does anyone look good pulling off a pair of tights, it always looks so awkward to me :smiley:

    True, but nude =/= tights. Plus the gyms I have been in have a "shirt and shoes" policy (equal for both genders) unless in the pool. And women DO wear tights that show the shape of the genital region. Our regions are just less shapely are are more smooth. It's not like the tights would fit around each ball and shaft separately, it would just be a general shape haha.

    The compression pants are nothing more than a replacement for your high socks and compression shorts. Compression shorts make sense. They keep things in check so to speak. Prevent thigh rubs. But you can't engineer or make compression pants tight enough to be effective.
    Our muscles aren't held to our bones by a wrap. We have tendons and ligaments that move more vertically than laterally. The pants give a lateral compression. That's why more and more folks use K-Tape or Rock Tape. That ish works!!!

    And your point asking me that question is is what? You answered your own question :p

    Time to bring back codpieces? Too soon?

    Yeah, definitely true. Haha. I guess I was responding to the guy talking about lifting, cupping, seperating, displaying (or something like that). But, I don't know why I even said it. Just thoughts in my head. It was pretty funny! I didn't want to miss the joke or anything.
