What's the deal on shin length "shorts"

[Bindare_Dundat]

Can someone please explain the point of this? Shorts over pants. I see at the gym all the time.

Sometimes it's damn cold outside for running and instead of wearing pants that weigh one down, it's better to wear leggings with shorts over them. I also wear my UA leggings in the gym for lower body workouts in the winter to keep my knees warm.

Is there a non-gay reason for men wearing capri pants?

Not that there's anything wrong with it..

those "tights" are a support layer, and the shorts over them is so we don't have to look at any man-bulge or camel-toe.

Those balloon pants and suspenders didn't look any less gay.

Ive been looking for jogging pants and this new style of crap is all I can find.

Yup, new style is stupid. You have to go to the company's websites now to get not-stupid regulars ones.

Ah, denim.  The working man's fabric.  Binds like a chinese ho's footwear, triples in weight and becomes it's own refrigerator with 3 drops of rain, touches the ground once and never has clean knees again.  If you can do the job in denim, you're hired!

Abolish pants and shorts I say.

Those aren't pants, they are tights. Would you prefer he dispense with the shorts and just wear tights?

Not sure. One could also ask what's so 'gay' about them? Some dudes still wear 'wife beaters' is that gay?

No one 'has' to look anything.....you're supposed to be working out and minding your own business.

I bet skirts are a lot more comfortable. Working out naked is really comfortable.

No man should ever wear shorts. Ever.

Damn! Don't even dare say this to me.  I wear shorts all spring, summer and fall. In fact, I wear shorts anytime the temperature goes above 60 degrees. It is a requirement if you live in the Portland metro area. It's best if you wear them with Birks or flip flops. In the winter we Oregonians wear Birks with socks to keep our feet warm.

Here we go.  Ok.  Why not, Colonel Trousers?

Watching a guy navigate a scaffold in long pants on a hot day is hilarious.  If you're into buttcracks, that is.

Oh my goodness! I never thought of it this way. It's no wonder I wear Tom's shoes some of the time. 

Did you know that many wineries are using screw tops because it preserves the flavor of the wine better?

I've wondered if the metered oxygenation that cork affords is needed for the development of some wines, even if it means a finite shelf life.  Idk, I'm not much of a conwahsewer.  Mid range stuff is good enough for me.

Heard that the most expensive bottles ever had a 100% seal tho.  Wax over cork.  Discovered by Jack Cousteau in a sunken Greek trading ship.

I am no wine connoisseur. I like wine, but you won't catch me paying hundreds of dollars for a bottle of it. Don't you just love the way wines are described in such flowery language? Seems like a joke. Did Jacques keep the wine for his collection of underwater fine wines?

They may as well put their wine in boxes.

On some level: Guys are getting more into clothes than women.

I'm always cold and won't workout without a hoodie. Wanting to make sure there was always a clean one around meant having a few. Next thing I knew... they were out of control, LOL!

I wasn't blessed with palate that will distinguish hints of tones of shadows and such, which lets me enjoy $20-$40 bottles just fine.  Far as I'm concerned, some booze is better then no booze at all, so I don't get too princess & the pea in these matters.

As I heard the story, Cousteau found 3.  Opened one and found it was contaminated.  Opened another and drank it with the crew.  The third went up for sale and, at 2400 years old or something, was the most expensive wine ever sold.  Sits in some Getbigger's cellar, no doubt.
