speedos vs board shorts
from AntBlog701

GET A LIFE YOU SPEEDO HATERS. WHY SHOULDNT A MAN WEAR WHAT HE LIKES AND FEELS COMFORTABLE IN. IF HE LIKES A SPEEDO THEN GREAT....ITS HIS BUSINESS NOT OURS. THE OLD DOUBLE STANDARD...WOMEN CAN GO IN THONGS BARE ASSED BUT A MAN CANNOT. A MANS BODY IS BEAUTIFUL AND NO ONE SHOULD COVER WITH LONG BAGGY SHORTS IF THEY DONT WANT TO. SO IF YOU LIKE A SPEEDO MEN.WEAR IT AND THIS IS ONE GIRL WHO WILL BE LOOKING WITH PLEASURE

I second that! Why do women (fat hairy ones too) think it's OK to show off their flesh and men cannot? BS!! To hell with you and your double standards. I'll continue to show off my banana hamock and you'll like it!

I've worn speedos for 40 years. Whats the problem with women? There is nothing wrong with the male form. Women can kid around at their Hen's Nights about guys assets, so much so these days that these son's have become so self conscious they're too scared to wear speedos. Whats their problem? Women have created this myth in their minds that big is better cos their twats have become so big they can drive a freight train up the middle.The kids start believing this themselves and worry about being inadequate, hence the move to board shorts. Quit complaining about the guys - what about the majority of fat and ugly women who let them selves go at the age of 30.Just the thought of them in Speedo togs makes me puke.Onthe other side of the coin.. why are male revues so popular with women? And many of the guys are gay!

GAY GUYZ RULE

I'm here in Maui where board shorts apparently rule. I say screw that, after two days of going along I mustered up anough courage to bear the Speedos I brought with me. All around I see fat ugly women bearing it all, so why the Hell can't I work on a awesome tan-line and feel sexy as well? I may not be a stud but I'm not over-weight or flabby either. Keep the Speedo faith!!

i mean the thing about speedos is that straight guys are terribly proud of their whatevers and its being a buddy to show other guys how proud it is. Gay guys go ape when they see a set of speedos on a good looking guy...

SAY NO TO SPEEDO - speedos are by far the most embarrasing piece of clothing a man can wear, nothing is on its scale. I walked to my gym a few days ago ready for a good work out, only to be confronted with a fat man wearing a pair of speedos while exercising on the treadmil. Its not a pretty sight. DISGUSTING FAT SHIT! The majority of people whether you like it or not, do not like speedos and if you do, you will have to put yourself in the same catagory as those who like the name 'Barry' and have keetle warmers. Leave the speedos at home guys.......you suck!

I bel;eive that only sexy black men should wear speedos because you can really see their shaping of their packages, also how big the sack really is.

You wouldn't catch me in a gym with a Speedo. In a pool? Yes. Women may not like hairy fat guys wearing Speedos. I think women just do not want to see hairy fat guys period--Speedos or not. I'd rather see a hairy fat guy in a Speedo at a swimming pool because he is getting exercise. The message women send to these guys is "Stay at home and bury your head in the sand!" Most men are not perfect 10s. Instead of looking at the anatomy, look at men's faces when talking to them. Speedos are worn in many places in the world with no fuss. Why should there be a fuss in the USA? As for the boys, they do get a hidden message that they are inadequate holistically if we say to them on the one hand, "Judge people by their character, not how they look," then in an instant say, "Only males with 'hot bods' are worthy of being seen in public." Talk to the face.

speedos are the go if your pround of your body or assets why not. If chicks dig what they see all well and good. If a gay guy wants to watch you - feel flattered (doesnt mean you need to touch em) who cares if they get off on it your not going to know
SPEEDOS all the way i've worn then all my life and i'm not going to hide behind boardies

I got a good body and I look better in speedos ...
those baggy shorts look sloppy .. .and, when wet,

Dang, when woman always are pressing on fat guys wearing speedos, what about those fat women pigs in stretch pants, with their crack, fore and aft pressing through? I am in great shape, love speedos - but when I read these messages, those fat pig woman come to mind writing----------barf

Alright. All you people that are so upset about guys in speedos, Shut the hell up. How about you all go and take a good look in the mirror, and ask your selves this question. Would I look good in a speedo? Ten out of ten of you wouldn't. Then ask yourself this, why is it that I hate myself so much, that I have to talk a whole bunch of shit to people in order to make myself feel good. What a bunch of low-life wearthless losers. I bust my ass off to have a perfecly sculpted body, therefore, I diserve to wear what ever the hell I want to. So, If you little boys and girls can't handle it, then go home and cry to your mothers, your bunch of troglodites.

Haahaahaa....I wonder why so many people care about whether a guy is enough of a man to wear a speedo or not? Maybe those same people who spend their time belly-aching over a SPEEDO should take a good look at their real problems~ possibly toy with the idea that they should get a life and not worry about the lives of confident, outgoing, stong, courageous and most likely, sexy as hell men out there who could give a shit less about your own worthless opinion anyway. Do something exiting, eat some fiery food, go for a swim at midnight when the moon is bright and full, learn to play the guitar, make love by candlelight.....LIVE a little and then the small things become non-existant, like they were never there to begin with. Why spend your time worrying about beautiful, healthy, happy, secure indiviguals who simply don't care about the norms, rules and restrictions society has placed on them. Go to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world; Brazil, Tahiti, Thailand, The Virgin Isles, The Carribean...and then cry about a guy rockin'a SPEEDO. Impossible....everyone wears a speedo or something smaller, women don't have to wear tops and both the men and women wear the least amount of bulky clothing to the beach as possible. These same people would be the minority in most places outside of the United States. Basically, Speedos rock and if you have nothing better to do than to tear people down to build yourself up I think it would be wise to spend time focusing on why it's necessary to behave in such a childish manner. Go to Prada, buy some stilleto's and fishnets, go home to your honey, turn on your favorite love-making music and enjoy your life. You never know what day will be your last so live it up like it's today.
Yeaaahhh!

well honestly guys look way more attractive in board shorts...but if u have a nice bod, speedos are ok too. but i think its almost a good thing speedos are going out of fashion(no offense) becuz if you're very insecure about urself, u can wear board shorts and still look hott! i just wish short shorts and short skirts can somewhat go out of fashion for women becuz im very insecure about the size of my calves..its a heridity thing, and i hate it but be happy that board shorts are becoming more popular! be lucky guys..while us women are also always filled with insecurity too.....

I think that people should just wear what they want to. I am from a very backward section of Nova Scotia, and I still wear them. First of all they make so much more senes then board shorts and If men these days were not so into if people think they are gay or straight then I think that the beach would be a better place for all of us. And for you ladies I suggest that you all shut up until you are ready to tie a towel around you, and swim with that, because that is what wearing board shorts is like.
Posted by JS on 16 July 2006 9:58 PM.

I quite agree that if you have a decent or great looking body a man should wear a speedo that shows more of himself.Who cares what others think! I mean you only live once! Why not show more of yourself! If a woman can do it why not a man? I am 43 years old and in great shape and will not conform to everyone else in this society.How boring I find men who wear these ridiculous looking swimwear these days! I mean who invented these board shorts in the first place? A guy perhaps that lacks confidence to show more of himself.As well,some people think that you are gay if you wear a speedo.People should not assume things,because if you assume something you are making an ass out of you and me!I think that there are women out there who really dig a guy who looks after himself and shows more of himself in a speedo at a beach or swimming pool especially in the summer.I just feel people should lighten up and live a little!
Posted by Allen on 27 July 2006 11:56 AM.

I am a hairy fat guy and I plan to continue to wear my speedo. I really don't care what people think about my speedos or me in them. I chose them because they are comfortable. I am working on not being a hairy fat guy but until that changes I still will wear my speedo.
Posted by on 3 August 2006 1:30 AM.

I am a Gay guy here in Florida and love men in Speedos. I personally love to wear them myself.
Since THONGS are basically against the law women get away with it for some odd reason the police just look past the inevitable ass cheek hanging out...but if a dude likes that full body sculptured tan and is wearing a speedo its forbidden.. the looks that men get is ridiculous.. and he will get arrested for wearing a THONG.
I personally could care less what anyone thinks of me I live my life the way I chose if someone has a problem then they need to come see me!
The reality is this....... walk along the beach anywhere and you see these Mesomorphic guys GAY AND STRAIGHT wearing Board shorts all raveled up to their crotch why?
Just put a freakin Speedo on!
Move on with your day at the beach and appreciate your awesome tan. If you are Content with your sexuality then you are content..seeing a nice built guy and a fat hairy guy is no different LOOK THE OTHER WAY.. When a woman walks past me with watermelon jugs hanging and their asses hanging to the ground in these dental floss suits I respect her for who she is not what she is wearing and I smile and even say hi.
International male has skimpy suits for guys that I wear and the women are like wow!
If the Guys GAY or STRAIGHT don't like it..I say GET-TO-STEPPIN!
Personally if a Guy can wear Speedos He's content with himself. Screw everyone else. Tomás

I think men who are in good shape can wear a speedo with good taste. I live in Florida and a lot of gus wear speedo's in the Miami area. Board shorts are fine too but there is something attractive about a guy who is secure enough to wear a speedo and look good in one.
Posted by jennifer on 4 October 2006 11:12 AM.

Reality is most guys look as bad in board shorts as they do in a Speedo. For boardies to look good, your inseam MUST exceed your waist size. No liners and no underwear, worn at the top of the butt crack and stopping at the knee. If you have a stocky build or are slightly overweight, you’ll have the appearance of a Munchkin. For Speedos to look good, you must have a smallish butt and an absolutely flat belly. Too tight and you’ll look like a prepubescent girl, too loose and you’ll look like you’re attempting to expose yourself. Wear them mid- hip, not at the top of the hipbone. Orange or pink bikinis are to be avoided by all men regardless of how buff they are. Black can be very unflattering on men with pale skin. The vast majority of guys would do well to wear something mid-thigh. Nothing too tight or too baggy and loose the denim at the beach or pool. Avoid any elastic in the waist and opt for a draw cord that is tied but never cinched around the waist. Loose the boxers underneath as they’ll bunch up in the water causing that “crapped your pants” look. Wear shorts that are self lined, briefs or boxerbriefs of something other than cotton. You’ll feel more comfortable and likely receive more positive feedback.

Hey==speedo is not equal to bikini! What about square cuts? Also, long board shorts only look good only really tall guys. The way to go is mid-thigh board shorts. Hope more manufacturers will make them.

hi i'm a fat hairy guy and i like wearing speedos. speedos are cool

Hey, im a gay guy from CA, im 18 and i wear a speedo. i think people should wear what they want, its not fair that if you wanna wear a speedo but your too embarresed, but live your life to the fullest! wear a speedo, Who Cares. i love guys in speedos, its the sexiest thing.
Posted by Anonamous on 24 December 2006 9:25 AM.

Simple - if Hot, wear speedos.
If Not, then don't. Why do so many guys get that wrong?
Posted by SpeedoGuy on 23 January 2007 6:23 AM.

Im a 22 yr old straight male, I love wearing a speedo. It makes me feel sexy and everything, and even though women are someone "programmed" to think that its not right on men, I really dont care. I am in good shape and i hope more guys my age wear one.
Posted by John on 5 February 2007 11:03 AM.

When I broke up with my girlfriend I decided to do try new things and get in shape. I bought a speedo and went to Santa Monica beach. I asked some women to take pictures of me with my camera phone to track my progress. None had a problem with it or said anything. The best reaction was from a hot Australian tourist. Just gotta use the right bait I guess!
Posted by on 23 February 2007 8:19 AM.

people need to relax a bit on this i use to swim in speedos for many years and i was fine with them because i was around others were wearing the same thing i was, but when jammers came around we all jumped right on them because they looked more comfortable and more like what we wear every day. since i have never put on a speedo, i don't believe either are any more comfortable than the other. no one is trying to stop speedo wearers just know that you are not wearing what most people are and you will probably get some mean looks by people uncomfortable with it, if you look better in speedos go for it you aren't out there to impress anyone so why must there be such angry debates about one being wrong or right?
Posted by Anthony on 12 April 2007 3:59 AM.

I LOVE HOT GUYS IN SPEEDOS ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVE THEM NAKED.. THATS ALMOST. guys, wear them all you want. the only women who dont like to see guys in them are lesbians, and theyre just freaks. lesbians suck gay guys kick ass:]]]] i love their pics, videos, bodies, omg i just love MEN. i love to see guys in thongs or speedos or whatever. i hate it when they wear just board shorts and have that UGLY ASS tan line. as long as they shave and arent hairy theyre sexy. guys should shave anyways. idc if were just going out, if i can see your hair and think its my carpet SHAVE IT. if youre fat ugly or your body sucks wear board shorts and a tshirt and a sweater, otherwise I LOVE YOUR FLESH. as long as your body is decent give me a chance to do you cause youre attire is hot

I am mexican, 29 years old. live in Baja and much to my regret I notice that almost nowhere speedos are to be found. There is so much influence from USA that everything is sold for americans. I always wear French, Thailand or Brazilian swimwear and I have always been complimented. Most men should feel free and confident. Most of americans are so prudish as for men wearing speedos.
Posted by odin on 5 May 2007 11:42 AM.

When I was a kid in the 80s nobody ever thought anything about all the short shorts on men and the speedos. I remember having to make sure I wasn't falling out of my shorts when I was sitting down.
I work out very hard to stay in shape and have a sculpted body that I like to show off. I like wearing booty shorts around and about and either brazil cut or thong swimwear to the beach. I am tired of the women getting to have all the fun showing off their bodies whether their in shape or not and guys are stuck wearing bored shorts to be accepted and not labeled as gay.
Posted by Steve on 19 May 2007 12:41 PM.

Kinda not fair to the ladies guys hide everything while women show nipples, cameltoe and see thru swim wear. I think the guy should show a little also and give the women something to talk about. If they don't want to look, they won't but my experience is that most do of all ages. Give little get a little. Have a Tan, be in shape, smile. Show what you want to see.
Posted by Mike on 27 May 2007 3:25 PM.

I am a 52y/o male who likes to wear short side-split running shorts. I am slender/average build, with slim legs, and I feel very comfortable wearing short-shorts.
I do feel a little self-concious when I go to the local c-store, and worried what people are thinking, whether I am gay because I am wearing side-split running shorts. Well, when the temperatures are in the 80's and 90's, I am comfortable, because the shorts I wear are lightweight. So, I figure the heck with what people think, as long as I am comfortable.

Posted by Bob on 5 July 2007 6:13 AM.

Dork shorts=coulottes=gay Fellows, you look really cute in your dresses at the beach!
As a woman, I find today’s swimwear on men comical. Why don’t you just go swimming in long pants? It seems like a generational thing. The youth of America think of Speedo swimwear as “gay”. Let me tell you whats gay. Men today are wearing womens coulottes to the beach! Yes, back in the 70’s that’s what we called them. Why not just wear a dress to the beach? I laugh every time I see a man in clown pants or dork shorts. Why not wear lipstick too? Let’s bring back the bikini for men! Gorgeous, self-confident men wear bikinis! And they are NOT gay! They are more “manly” that you clowns hiding in your baggy clown pants. Most women won’t admit to it but we LOVE THEM! Burn those fairy dork shorts and give us ladies some eye candy for a change!

I'm glad y'all are not at the naturist beach aka Nude beach. We like to wear what God gave us. Hope y'all stay on your end of the beach.
Posted by don on 19 July 2007 2:11 PM.

If you want to swim around dragging 10 pound of wet clothes to look "normal" have fun. Speedos weigh nothing allow free movement in the water and look neat! In most of the world guys young and old have no problem spending a day at the beach in a bikini.
Posted by Jon on 21 July 2007 9:30 PM.

I love shorts. They are far more comfortable than jeans and last longer due to not having to get worn out in the knees I wear shorts all year round or most of the year except for holidays or other formal occasions. Then my best judgement tells me to wear the jeans and that sucks. Shorts are the only way to go.
Posted by on 6 August 2007 2:20 AM.

Like many of the guys here, I have a great body with great biker legs. I have no problem wearing speedos and short shorts. The shorter, the better. Yes I grew up in France and they were the standard when I was a kid, a teenager and in my early twenties. I am sick and tired of today's man fashion that is completely boring and so restrictive. I wear what I like and if people do not like it, it is their business. If they think I am gay, no problem.... It is time for men to stand up for their fashion freedom. I know who I am. I am a real man: I drive a stick and shoot guns!!!
Posted by jean on 9 September 2007 9:49 AM.

Good Grief. Much ado about nothing. I wear a bikini that is somewhat less covering than a speedo(but not a thong) at the beach. Usually I'm the only one in a bikini. And ya know what, I have more women say hi to me than if i was in the identical situation in bored shorts. Yes women like eye candy, and some of my suits are "push up" style that is at best hard to ignore, especially if i wear a cock ring descreetly. I'm straight,but it's a shame the simple minded might think otherwise. My girlfriend(s) also like the slutty tan line as well. And girls, it's true, bored shorts weigh a ton wet and are cold once the sun starts sinkin.
Posted by on 18 September 2007 5:20 AM.

Well, I'm big and fat, and I like wearing a speedo. I admit I look ridicules But I really don't care. I'm only 19 years old but I'm bald on top of my head with just a fringe of hair on the sides and back. I'm 6 ft 8 in tall, and I weigh 850 pounds. My measurements are, upper arms, 38 inches, chest 126 inches, my big round belly is 175 inches around, but my hips are only 56 inches and my thighs are only 26 inches around. Yeah, my arms are fatter than my legs. I have mostly upper body fat, with a big belly and a small butt and skinny legs. I'm not hairy all over, my skin is smooth with no body hair. When I wear a speedo, my belly hangs down over the front of my speedo, completely hiding it so that from the front view I look like I'm in the nude, but when you see me from behind, my speedo slide half way down on my butt showing off my butt crack. I know I'm ugly, but I still like to wear a speedo!

I work damn hard on my body to wear white speedo briefs. I run every morning and swim 2 to 4 times a week. I am athletically fit and I am proud to flaunt my body to any female. I especially love to show off my body to my female companion friend!! There is a reason behind the board short craze. Men are socialising too much (drinking too much and eating fatty foods). Without adopting a regular intense exercise routine, they put on weight. Sooner or later, most men have to buy a men's bra or stomach bra!! I am proud to flaunt my athletic lean body to any female and I enjoy the fact that they love to check me out!! So, to all of you women and men who love to wear board shorts, lose some weight!!!!!

SPEEDOS ARE GAY!!!! NUF SAID!
Posted by Crazy Clown on 23 February 2008 3:53 PM.

I love the quote, "Boardies are the go because they've got that sexy surfer edge and it adds a bit of mystery as to what's underneath..." from the article. I hear this from a lot of women...they do realize that there is probably a penis under there, don't they?
Posted by on 23 April 2008 5:05 AM.

I stopped waring speedos when i was 12. Im 14 now and not fat or ugly or hairy. Every day i run at the beach with my dad and i ware board shorts, i would rather ware speedos but everyone thinks that is gay. oh and fat old hairy guys in speedos are a good laugh. They should run a bit too. Same with the fat chicks. More running and less sleeping on beach.
Posted by Chris D... on 19 May 2008 7:44 AM.

I have seen and heard this same "poll" or "Quiz" over and over. And everybody that "HATES" speedos says exactly the same thing: "I hate speedos, you see fat..." - So tell me is it really the speedos you hate? Or is the fat you hate when the wrong type of person wears them? You almost never hear someone say: "I hate speedos, you can see all his muscles."
Posted by Eric on 21 May 2008 10:24 AM.

I'm a male in my late twenties, and I work my arse off to stay in shape. I have achieved and maintained a "ripped" physique. If i'm on a beach on vacation, I always wear a speedo. When swimming at my gym's pool , I wear a speedo. I don't concern myself with "polls" or "surveys" - I've met tons more women in these situations than any bar,club, or workplace. I don't know about everyone else , but I love the sight of a fit, toned , sexy woman (regardless of age) in revealing swim attire at the beach. I also believe there are plenty of woman who feel that way about men .
Posted by Eric on 25 May 2008 2:46 PM.

For practicality and looks, a man’s swimsuit should be no longer than mid-thigh and preferably a brief swimsuit otherwise know as a speedo. Women, whether they are skinny, medium or huge, wear maillots, tank suits and bikinis with impunity so a man of any fitness should be able to wear a swimsuit like a speedo that is less revealing than what women wear but more practical for swimming than board shorts. And, trying to ridicule a man because of one’s own insecurities is very juvenile so man shouldn’t let the giggling of a child in an woman’s body stop him from wearing a swim brief.
Posted by Atlanta Ebony Queen on 29 May 2008 4:10 PM.

If a man wants to wear a Speedo or G-String, so be it. Let him wear what he wants. I personally don't care for them myself, but that's beside the point. There are a bunch of fat, ugly, cellulite-infested women who wear bikinis, g-strings and thongs on the beaches here in America and they need to cover up their fat butts if there is to be a double-standard. What the heck is wrong with people these days, anyway? Are there going to be dress codes for the beach now?? Let people wear what they want to the beach -- heck, I don't care what they wear! I'm still sticking to my swim trunks. Board shorts are for teenagers, not middle-aged men! GET REAL!
Posted by Mark Podmore on 2 July 2008 5:05 AM.

PS -- To the "clown" above that says Speedos are only for gay guys: don't be ridiculous. I don't know any gay guys that wear Speedos. But, I know plenty of fat women that do.
