irc333 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I had read a couple of women who felt free to "Voice" the kind of men that shouldn't email them....like men who wear jean shorts, now I wear them casually around the house, or when I go to a casual environment, plus I live in an area where it's 90+ degrees majority of the time....she was saying You should wear docker shorts. Now on a date, I'll wear something a bit more nicer, like slacks and a nice button down shirt, but what's with this demand in what kind of stuff you should be wearing. And she was also insisting that a man should have his hair on his chest waxed off...competely bare. She's influenced way too much by the media and Hollywoods images.
TaraMaiden Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 The worst pair of jean shorts I ever saw, was when a guy had his scrotum hanging past the seam.... (Completely unaware.... even the girl he was with hadn't noticed.....) And some ladies quite simply have a bum cheek too many for the skimpy shorts they wear..... Providing you have a mirror to check the 'decency and decorum' line, I think it's fine. And you don't have 'white-as-snow' legs..... The hairy chest? That's just her opinion. if she doesn't like it, that's her problem.
sanskrit Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Depends on your area and level of fashion there. Personally, would never be caught dead in anything with a "Dockers" tag, nor wear buttondown shirts other than to work, and then very infrequently.
donnamaybe Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 What's wrong with jean shorts on men? As long as they aren't like Daisy Duke short or anything.
GorillaTheater Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 What's wrong with jean shorts on men? As long as they aren't like Daisy Duke short or anything. Exactly. And I wouldn't wax my chest on a bet.
redmelon Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 There is definitely a stigma about wearing JORTS. If you are okay with not being qualified as STYLISH, then who cares? I personally don't mind them if they are cutoffs with a bit of fray, but the ones that look pressed with a crease are just more than I can bear.
donnamaybe Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 One should NEVER press jeans. That just looks - weird. As for the "stylish" thing, I never let some fashion mogul whose trying to get into my wallet tell me what's "in style." They keep changing what's "in style" just so you're constantly forced to buy new clothes. It's all a big scam, and SOOOO many people fall for it. I wear what I like. If it happens to be something currently en vogue, fine. If not, then you don't have to look.
EasyHeart Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 NO JORTS!!! Ever. You might as well wear your zubaz or Members Only jacket.
denise_xo Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I had read a couple of women who felt free to "Voice" the kind of men that shouldn't email them....like men who wear jean shorts, now I wear them casually around the house, or when I go to a casual environment, plus I live in an area where it's 90+ degrees majority of the time....she was saying You should wear docker shorts. I vote trousers And she was also insisting that a man should have his hair on his chest waxed off...competely bare. That's silly, I think. People obsess way too much about body hair.
Star Gazer Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Women can wear cute little denim shorts, but men should NEVER wear jean shorts. EVER. Bad, bad, bad. Get some cargo shorts or something. They're cooler (as in temperature) than denim anyway.
Star Gazer Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 What's wrong with jean shorts on men? As long as they aren't like Daisy Duke short or anything. Exactly. Are you kidding? Where do you even find/buy jean shorts???
GorillaTheater Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Are you kidding? Where do you even find/buy jean shorts??? Beats me, my wife probably bought them. But you better believe my 48-year-old booty makes 'em look good, baby. And fashion? I stopped paying attention years ago. I'm warmly looking foward to one day being the old guy on the beach in his black socks. And denim shorts.
Knittress Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 My feeling is that a man wearing shorts while doing something like rock climbing or whitewater rafting is sporty and manly, a guy attempting to mimic this look while shuffling around the street in his flip-flops is schlumpy. But I'm an equal opportunity shorts-hater, very few chicks have the twiggy thighs necessary to pull them off attractively.
yah Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 And she was also insisting that a man should have his hair on his chest waxed off...competely bare. Let me run off and tell the bf. :lmao:
phineas Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I got some jean shorts that a woman picked out for me so I know their ok. I wear them golfing & stuff. I wear the cargo shorts when out. I did have some of those walmart uggs. I had a woman on a date actually ask me if they were real uggs & I told her I got them at walmart & that was the last date I had with her. The same woman had come over to my house a week before & saw one of my blankets folded up on the couch that my kids use. She actually looked at the label, and approved of who made it. crazy. I doubt I could afford a woman like that so she did me a favor by not calling me back.
carhill Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Isn't that what a guy naturally does with his old Levis? Cuts them off into shorts? They go perfect with the tie-dyed old t-shirts
TaraMaiden Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Brighton beach epitome of sexy... Beige khaki shorts, cut just above the knee, varicose veins, black socks, leather sandals, string vest and knotted handkerchief as a sun hat. Oh, and a drippy '99 ice cream' . something like this.... Of course, it could be worse....
redmelon Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Carhill - you and I are talking about the same guy. Once in a while the dude in the tie dye and jort cutoffs turns out be a really interesting guy. Not often, but it happens...
Star Gazer Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I got some jean shorts that a woman picked out for me so I know their ok. Just because a woman buys you jean shorts does NOT mean they're okay to wear. Just because an article of clothing is sold at stores doesn't mean it's okay to wear.

GT in denim shorts: http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q34/GorillaTheater/?action=view¤t=DSCF0085.jpg Control your lust if you can. OH GOD those are frightening jorts! Don't wear those in public because people are assuming things about you as a result: that you like Nascar and blue collar comedy, that you drink lots of beer, and covet your friends Kubota tractor because lawn care is really important. I am enjoying this thread.

Don't wear those in public because people are assuming things about you as a result: that you like Nascar and blue collar comedy, that you drink lots of beer, and covet your friends Kubota tractor because lawn care is really important. Well, that is, I'm no Nascar fan...
GorillaTheater Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 You KNOW I love you, but those are HORRIBLE!!! It's a sin!! I'm sure I speak for everyone (except for red melon)when I say that I've had just about enough of your anti-jort bigotry.
redmelon Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Well, that is, I'm no Nascar fan... well I think if all the others are true that you should be awarded a free pass to wear jorts with pride, because they do, in fact, send out an appropriate vibe to others in your case.
