Unless you're under the age of 20, they're your pajamas, you're hitting the gym or going to the beach, does anyone else think that guys wearing shorts is kind of goofy looking?

Seriously, why would you wear shorts to a bar. I mean, I know its hot out, but come on..

    I think they could look okay...cargo shorts are fine. If it's boiling out wearing pants is just insane.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    It's just my opinion. Obviously there's occasions that call for them, but a night on the town?.. Maybe I just feel goofy in them. You don't see any cast members of Lost wearing shorts.. Shorts= goofy looking. IMO :p

    Well I'd say a night out on the town is different... but it's summer time now!

    Probably not. Maybe I just think my feet and legs are ugly.. I've also always hated sandals. They suck too.

    As a matter of fact I had a cell phone and keys in my "cargo pockets" earlier today.

    regular pockets are lame... :)

    Cargo pockets are good for when you really really don't want your stuff to accidentally fall in the ocean

    I keep keys in my cargo pockets. Though I haven't worn cargo in a little while.

    Shorts look great on a guy. I love when people are laid back looking and relaxed.
    Sun and air on your legs in the summertime especially is just a grand feeling.

    I say if you like shorts, wear them ....if ya don't then don't. There's no dress code.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Cargo shorts too!

    It's just my silly opinion.. I'm not sure what I'm bitter about. I think it has something to do with trying to be badass. You don't see John McClain, Indiana Jones or Bear Grylls wearing shorts.

    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I was kicked out of a bar for wearing those.
    The guy said: "Sorry, no open toes."

    Some guys look good in shorts, and some don't.

    Some girls look good in shorts, and some don't.

    I say, do what makes you happy. :) If you don't feel comfortable in shorts, then don't wear them. But if you like them, then go for it!

    I'm glad the Irish climate spares me this kind of decision. :D
    Besides, no one wants to see pasty Irish legs. :p

    Yep, at concerts when my gf at the time didn't want to carry her purse in. Sightseeing on vacation for the same reason.

    I love wearing shorts and I can't wait for my new job so I can wear shorts to work every day starting in July. I'm glad my new office has a laid back atmosphere for business casual. :)

    Despite my do whatever makes you happy post, please note that only European guys can get away with cropped pants. Maybe South American guys too. But guys from the states just can't pull this off. :p
