You clearly have not lived with 32°C
It’s going to be 34 here this week. I’ll probably be at home in my underwear.
You wear underwear at home?
My woofy gets cold otherwise…
When it’s really hot and humid (like this week), boxer briefs keep my balls from sticking to my legs.
when it’s anything above +25, i stay at home naked with my ac on. if i have to go somewhere, linen shorts and t. and i still sweat like a pig.
You’re at home. Who cares. Be comfortable
It could be 40 and I wouldn’t even consider purchasing shorts.
You must enjoy some schweddy balls
I come from the north; anything above 20° and I graduate to the shorter shorts.
Anything above 8° is shorts weather unless you’re hiking. Going by your instance though, I guess hiking isn’t an option for you.
I usually say 10° but the threshold often strays a bit lower. Yeah, not much hiking to be done around here, ha, actually I’ve just been travelling somewhere a bit further south and I looked out the window and said “hills! I remember these!”
This is tragic
Go get some sunshine and exercise. Your mom needs to vacuum your lair
Everytime I wear shorts I end up walking through knee high spikey bush so I get the hate.
You don’t wear shorts because legs, I don’t wear shorts for mosquito defense. We are not the same LMAO
I am a mosquito banquet actually. There’s always a bite on the back of my knee even if I wear pants.
My comfort clothes are jeans. I wear them year round in Houston Texas. I’m also pale as a ghost.
May our legs provide light and guidance to those lost in the night.
k
Jean shorts exist.
I’m not much of a jorts man
Whatever you do, don’t spill blood on your jorts
Now I’m going to have BDG’s Old Bay jingle in my head all day because that’s how my brain works. Thanks?
I have no idea why but for many years I felt this way too. Then it just went away and I have no idea why I would be embarrassed about my legs. Shorts are great!
Did you perhaps become a father?
Not even close!
Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?
Sometimes…
Did you get a job as a postman?
Haha, nope, not this one too.
TBH I think I just became less self conscious and more confident about my body when I started exercising.
This is how it happened for me too. I started lifting and now comfortably wear shorts short enough to show some thigh lol
I only really hate shorts because my legs are always bruised. It reminds me of how clumsy I am.
I don’t know why but bruised knees are universally loved. Okay maybe I know and the reasons are disgusting. Actually forget that I said anything.
Same. But it’s hot as fuck outside so I don’t feel like I got a choice
Idc legs are hot 🦵🤤🥵
the truth
This is such a trans tweet lol
I think this applies to almost everybody.
Maybe. It doesn’t apply to me. I love shorts, I love my legs.
I feel that way as a cis guy. :(
It’s not unheard of among cis men too, my dad was always struggling to bulk up his legs because he thought they looked too skinny. Trans people just tend to be extra vulnerable to feeling pressure about their bodies, both for dysphoria reasons and societal reasons.
There’s body dysmorphia too, which affects cisgender people. In my case it would be more the body hair I guess. And unfortunately shorts on men is also still kinda stigmatized, which is of course perceived worse for people who already struggle with their own body or have anxiety issues.
Neovictorianism in the time of onlyfans is exactly what I was expecting in 2024
Neo victioroanism has been around for a while. Fainting couch feminism as is called.
There are only two parts of me people ever compliment me on: my eyes and my calves.
I’m-a wearin’ shorts.
…I hate when people only look at clothes for fashion and their appearance. Clothes sound be more functional then anything.
I’ve seen people try to say that shorts are “unprofessional” but my counter is being a sweaty mess is worse. If it isn’t cold enough to warrant pants, in wearing shorts!
Yes. The idea of what’s professional needs to adapt to our changed climate. If I dressed like that in the summer heat I’ma pass out.
Ugh this is what I have to deal with. I have to wear slacks when I go to work and it’s awful right now in this hot weather.
Hi! I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!
Time for a battle!
I’m baffled how much people care about other people’s clothing. It’s childish. How do shorts or pants have anything to do with professionalism?
Why do we design other buildings than concrete cubes? Why do we plant trees on the side of the road? Why do we put paintings in our hallways? Why do we paint our walls anything other than hospital grey? Why do websites have CSS? Why do we gift each other flowers?
Esthetics, self-expression, culture. Fashion is the most personal form of self-expression, it should not be a surprise that people care about it so much.
I don’t care if you wear socks and sandals, you don’t have an obligation to partake in cultural norms, but going all the way around to “fashion is stupid and clothes are just there for wind protection” is nihilistic beyond usefulness.
Clothes have function over style. If you pick style over function, you’re in for a bad time.
They still build buildings with a strong foundation regardless of how pretty it looks…function Over style still wins.
Trees provide protection from sun. Function over style.
It depends.
Shop clothes/yellow jacket? All function (usually).
Literally any clothes when it’s 30+ °C outside? Style/cultural norms.Most situations sit somewhere in the middle, but most people care at least a little bit about style. It’s not a fight, and I don’t understand why you frame it as such. It’s perfectly possible to wear functional clothes that also fit and with colors that don’t clash (actually most people who say they don’t like fashion have ill-fitting clothes, which is less functional).
I agree but for me shorts are bad because they reveal more of “me”. They also make my shoes look even bigger if my pants aren’t going over them.
Slacks lower sperm count, it’s a proven science. That’s why sweatpants are the way to go - and running shorts are like sweatpants for if you live in like a place that’s really hot.
You cant just walk around throwing arguments like that without citing sources
What do I look like, nerd science guy here?
You’re getting downvoted, but the guys wearing basketball shorts everywhere have tons of kids.
In the last four years I’ve worn long trousers maybe twice, and both times were for funerals.
