I did shave them.

I like shorts.

They're comfy and easy to wear.

I'm actually wearing a skort.
- I want someone to make a comic strip of a skort-wearing skwerl that goes to skool.
I used to laugh at that little boy who said shorts are comfy and easy to wear, but by God was he right about it.
Top percentage right here
!
- battle music ensues
I often would rather be cold in shorts than uncomfortable in pants

Loose comfy sweatpants are the exception to this, and work from home has spoiled regular pants for me

Hi! I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!

I also wear Tevas( sandals) ! Of course I also haven't had a date in years...
- Because you're happily married, right?
  
  Right???
Holy crap going through that section in (EDIT: Pokémon) Red was more or less hell

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.

This is such a trans tweet lol

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.
I think this applies to almost everybody.
- Maybe. It doesn't apply to me. I love shorts, I love my legs.

Neovictorianism in the time of onlyfans is exactly what I was expecting in 2024

Haven't shaved my legs since 2019 and it's the best. I only shave my pits at this point because my sweat smells worse with hair there. Everything else is free, as nature intended.

Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It's a pain to do tho.
- Taking the time to do it is part of why I stopped. I have better shit to do than worry about body hair that's there for a reason lol.
- A... are you all women? Or are men like supposed to shave their legs too and somebody forgot to tell me?

Well, I suppose the shorts weren't going to shave themselves.

My comfort clothes are jeans. I wear them year round in Houston Texas. I'm also pale as a ghost.

Jean shorts exist.
- I'm not much of a jorts man
May our legs provide light and guidance to those lost in the night.

Who cares how your legs look like? Do you also always cover your arms because you don't like people seeing them?

Never. I don't care what people believe in their religion but I think nothing is stupider than religions that make you wear clothes that cover you all over.

I saw a little Muslim girl diving into a pool one day in a heavy plaid shirt and a hijab, and I just couldn't believe how stupid that is. You're like 8, what's sexual about you?
- The Prophet Muhammad married an 8-year-old. That kind of puts it into perspective.
Long sleeves ftw

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.
- 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
- You wear underwear at home?
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.
It could be 40 and I wouldn't even consider purchasing shorts.
- You must enjoy some schweddy balls

i fucking love shorts because i can show off my meteoric thunder thighs to the world and slay the day

Idc legs are hot 🦵🤤🥵

the truth

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?
- Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?
- Not even close!
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 tragic

In the last four years I've worn long trousers maybe twice, and both times were for funerals.

There are only two parts of me people ever compliment me on: my eyes and my calves.

I'm-a wearin' shorts.

Growing up in coastal California, the uniform for all genders was shorts and a hoodie, often of the Mexican variety.

Now I'm old and my shorts wearing habit is apparently dad mode.

Whatevs with the dad thing. Be comfortable.

It's always amused me that there is this bizarre (to me) subculture that is militantly anti-shorts. It's always someone from like Scotland or New Hampshire. My dude, I'm not wearing pants in Florida from April to October unless I have a funeral, wedding (maybe!), court appearance, or in-person business event. And I'm only wearing socks if God appears and instructs me to do so in person--which, given I am entirely unreligious, isn't much of a risk.
- Actually, more context: my Floridian spouse is weirded out that I wear shorts in the cold, but I picked that up in a cold climate on a farm: my legs don't get cold, and wearing pants to throw hay at cows doesn't really check out.
- Today is the first I've ever heard of anti shorts. The world is weird, man.
Being comfortable IS Dad Mode.
I do wear shorts, actually mostly skorts, but I'm never quite brave enough to wear them to work.
Same here, but I'm from north of Sac. My wife doesn't understand the shorts with a hoodie combo.

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.

Everytime I wear shorts I end up walking through knee high spikey bush so I get the hate.

I don't have a hot take on this. I wear jeans all the time for protection from spiky plants, ticks and other ground-based hazards. The leading reason why I don't wear shorts is that.... I don't own any.

I couldn't possibly give any fewer shits if people saw my legs.

I only really hate shorts because my legs are always bruised. It reminds me of how clumsy I am.

Same. But it's hot as fuck outside so I don't feel like I got a choice
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.
