Alright /fa/, prove me wrong: wearing shorts is the ultimate sign of a man who has given up on his appearance and you will always look like a pleb.

>>18462918 (OP)
the problem with shorts is they look goofy with no show socks. they can look cool with crew socks but then you get goofy tan lines. the only way to wear them is with sandals, which just isn't versatile so i stick to breathable cotton/wool/linen trousers in the summer.

>being against shorts
I'm starting to think you guys never go to the beach, gym, or probably anywhere. Like you all sit at home smirking to yourselves.

This

>>18463021
Literally! Where I live it's literally too hot and humid to wear anything else except for shorts! So unless they enjoy heat stroke, I highly recommend you wear shorts!
I only really wear pants if I know I'm gonna be indoors all day. Otherwise, literally too hot. The only thing I make sure is my shorts are above the knees and not too baggy. That's it.

If I can see your knees you're a faggot.

>>18463244
If I CAN'T see your knees then you're an insecure little bitch who is afraid to show off some thigh!

>>18463021
>>18463085
if you don't live in a humid area then pants keep you cooler than shorts outside, and shorts only keep you cooler indoors and under shade. so in a desert its the opposite, you'd wear pants if you go outdoors a lot and you'd wear shorts if you're used to sitting inside playing video games all day.
>Otherwise, literally too hot.
you're like 16 or 17 right? after you get your first real job go to your local boutiques during the summer. let me let you in on a secret: breathable fabric weaves exist.

>>18463317
Sorry. To each their own but shorts are still the best from my personal experience. Plus, I like to get a tan. I hate having a tan face and arms but pale ass legs. So a nice 5 inch inseam pair of shorts helps me get that tan. And women love it from my experience.

>>18463326
wearing shorts for tanning reasons is fair game. i agree you either want to commit and get a tan or you want to do like asians and wear sun protection all the time. having uneven weird tans is just never a good look.
but if you think pants aren't the best for staying cool in hot dry areas you just need to try more bespoke less 'off the shelf' type fabric weaves out. or if you live in a humid area just trust that pants are comfier in arid places when where you're at.

>>18463085
Are you a fat fucker or something? I live in Texas and most adults wear jeans year round.

>>18463329
Well where I live basically no adults wear pants in the summer, male and/or female. The only ones I see wearing pants in the summer are the edgy angsty teen types who never show as much as a bare forearm. But all adults wear shorts here.

if youre fit you can wear shorts

>>18463244

Being a roidchud isn't fitness.

I would rather be comfy than care of others think of me

>>18463827
You can be comfy without dressing like a degenerate manchild.

>>18463830
there is objectively no way long pants can be more comfy than shorts when it's hot and humid

>>18463586
Take your meds you unemployed dysgenic schizo freak.

>>18463832
Hear me out. What if there were pants that are like capris but are also like joggers. Think of cargo joggers that end right past the knee.

>>18463832
They're called loose cotton/linen pants in a thin fabric. Hem them above the ankles to allow for good airflow.

>>18463839
hem them above your knees even

Uh oh. The only people I've seen shit talking shorts are people with either scrawny legs or fat legs. I've never seen a man with nice legs shit talk shorts. Literally not ever. And women love shorts on a man with nice legs.

>>18463841
No, because I'm not a fag or a child.
>>18463842
Only a fag would care about showing off his "nice legs". If you're fit, it will show even you aren't parading around half naked.

>>18463848
Well if I literally attract women over it then I aren't a fag, am I? I have a girlfriend who loves it. And even beyond her, I've gotten compliments from many other women.
From my experience it's the ones who are afraid to show thigh who are the biggest fags.

>>18463853
If you’re a man “showing off your legs” you should kill yourself.

As long as you aren’t comically short with little stumpy chunky dwarf legs (in which case you’ll look stupid in anything you wear) shorts can be fine and be fashionable at any age.

>>18463880
I've literally have had nothing but success wearing shorts for most of my life. It's not gonna change. Plus, it's just thighs dude. Chill out. It's not like I'm showing dick or booty cheeks.

>>18463835
this is one of them. his sorry i mean her employment is sitting around at a "consulting firm" posting on 4chan all day.

>>18463842
must be an age thing. if youre over 25 yrs old and you're still centering your life around appeasing women there's something wrong with you. you should have a girlfriend or wife and grow out of that mindset eventually.

>>18463021
>sit at home smirking to yourselves
woah.. he's literally me

>>18463923
I do have a girlfriend. And I don't necessarily do it to appease women. Though compliments do feel nice regardless of who it's from. I wear shorts because it's comfortable, my girlfriend loves it, other women give me compliments, heck sometimes even a few guys, win-win all the way around.

>>18463923
>Stop trying to get a girlfriend. You should have a girlfriend.

>>18463947
You don't dress for women, retard. Women shouldn't be your end goal. You dress for success in life. That way women will automatically flock to you in droves, because women look for money, status and competence in a man if they want to settle down with him. If you're going to waste time dressing for women, then all you'll get are roasties who are only interested in whoring around. You will forever be locked in the "dating" and sleeping around mode until you're in your 40's and can only attract and settle down with washed up mind broken roasties with a ton of baggage.

>>18462918 (OP)
I don't like the way they look either, but if summers where you live reach temperatures of up to 44C you have no option but to wear them for several months.

>>18463947
its just annoying for guys who are older and have a gf/wife already, guys who are gay and guys who don't give a shit to have every discussion degrade to, "you must do X or Y to attract women."
sometimes you actually want less female attention from randos, not more. sometimes you're more worried about impressing other dudes than women, depending on the social circles you're in or your profession etc.

>>18463927
ya fair.

>>18464120
theres 2 kinds of male leg shapes. partly fitness level, partly genetic and skeletal frame based. drumstick legs look good with shorts if you're remotely fit, sometimes even if youre fat depending on proportion/shape. stick leg guys have to never skip legs day and have a bigger upper body if they wanna look good in shorts.
then theres also guys with the jon jones calves gene where no matter how fit or fat you get your body just doesn't distribute fat or muscle there. shorts only look good with crew socks, which give a shitty tan if you're in that boat.

>>18462918 (OP)
Jesus fucking Christ, why do men's shorts ALWAYS have to be SO fucking controversial?! Lol!
From the people who obsess over the length of men's shorts: below the knee, above the knee, knee-length, mid-thigh, whatever, etc.
To people who think men wearing shorts at all in the first place is a faux pas.
I swear, I've seen this exact same argument over and over again, for over 3 decades straight. I was like 12 when I first noticed it and now I'm in my early 40s and it's still going. Can't it just die off already?!

>>18464309
no one should be wearing shorts with crew socks. No show socks with boat shoes or driving mocs.

>>18463880
lulz spotted the dude who never did a leg day in his life.

>>18464372
Literally. No men who do leg days have issues with wearing shorts

>>18464377
Yes they do you exhibitionist faggot. It's called having self-respect and dignity. Just because I have toned glutes doesn't mean I'm going to walk around in public butt naked. Same goes for legs. No man ever looked better in shorts compared to pants. You will always end up looking like a pathetic manchild.

>>18464391
Showing legs in not the same as going out naked. Legs are legs.
I really hope you hold women to the same standards though. As in women can only wear pants or maxi dresses, never shorts or mini dresses. At least keep it consistent between sexes.

>>18464393
Women who wear shorts and min skirts are whores, obviously. A skirt is much more cooling, comfortable and convenient than shorts or miniskirt. Hell, they can wear linen pants too if they want to. Picrel looks much better, dignified, feminine, provides far more sun protection and is breezy at the same time than any shorts or miniskirt.

Yeah, denim shorts + long sleeve jumper looks class

like with anything, they're good on chad but bad on incel

>>18462918 (OP)
They're weather appropriate clothing so it looks less autistic than wearing a puffer jacket in >25C weather.

They look best on muscular legs, muscular calves especially.

Shorter shorts are best so you can see the bottom of your quads

>>18464391
lmao if you dress like this and you're under 70, you look severely autistic. Lighten up and embrace more casual clothing in warmer weather

>but they're comfy!
>but it's hot outside!

OK. Still not fashionable.

B-but muh manchildren! W-wear some grown-up c-c-c-clothes! What are you, p-p-poor?

I suppose over knee shorts are passable because there are some hold for the upper silhouette

>>18464616
yes! nothing worse than a man who takes himself too seriously! like it's hot out! chill out! lighten up! it ain't that serious!

I think athletic shorts look like fine if you’re exercising but wearing exercise outfits around everywhere is a bad look. Casual shorts always look bad on adults imo.

>>18464129
This looks fine but only because he’s at a fishing at a beach. If you dressed like this go out to dinner or even run errands or something you just look like a child. Dress for the occasion.

>>18464391
This guy has a meta narrative about himself what a faggot

>>18463329

Maybe if we weren't suffering the effects of global warming I might consider pants in summer. But until then you can get fucked.

>>18464654
They all look like retarded toddlers compared to a man dressed in pants. Have some self-respect you savages.

>>18464391
lmao literal incelwear

First of all, if you’re fit you can wear basically anything anywhere and look good simply because everyone else has a slob body. But all else equal shorts aren’t great. Yeah, they can look good as like a workout outfit that doesn’t look bad, but unless you’re working out it’s never the best outfit you could have on.

The neverending shorts debate is why I don't listen to anything /fa/ggots say. I go outside and literally everyone wears shorts. It's not that deep. If you're a fat slob, of course they look bad but so does every other thing you could wear because you're a fat slob. Of course don't wear shorts to a wedding but there's a lot of great casual outfits you can make with them. If you're projecting your scrawny legs (like I imagine most people against shorts ITT are) then wear calf socks or something you leg day skipping loser

All year round, forever and ever.

the global surface temperature of the planet has only increased 1*c since 1970 according to the most extreme predictions. in reality its closer to 0.6*c when you factor in that over 15 years worth of that data is admitted to be just completely made up, and its also skewed by uneven global distribution of monitoring stations/balloons and a lack of any kind of standard for which elevation surface temp should be measured from.
you're a melodramatic bitch.

>>18466151

Which "planet", faglord?

>>18466147
Imagine being born to a woman who used to wear miniskirts and shorts well into her 20's and 30's and slept around with over a dozen men until finally settling down with your father and giving birth to you. How does a woman like that expect any respect from her children, and how do you as her child live with the fact that your mother was a massive slut throughout her youth? This is the kind of degeneracy they have been pushing onto the post-WW2 generations of the first and second world countries, and now it has come to the point where women are literally walking around in the streets wearing nothing but lingerie.

>>18466237
>posts a photo from the 1950's
Thanks for proving my point. This has been going on since the 50's and now we've reached the point where we think this is normal behavior. And unlike men, for women their legs are akin to secondary sexual characters. They know exactly what they're doing when they wear shorts and miniskirts. They want to look "hot" and grab the attention of men. It has nothing to do with staying cool in the heat.

>>18466246
think about it:
a) pants keep you cooler in the heat unless you live on a tropical island or florida. most of the west isnt incredibly humid, so shorts literally do not keep them cooler actually 2-3* warmer. its not like women have a problem wearing thinner fabrics nor are loose airy fits outside of their fashion paradigm. the type of pants ideal for staying cool are in style for women right now so they have no excuse.
b) women are conscious of tan lines and wearing shorts with lingerie in public like that is going to give them shitty tan lines, which they then have to spend time tanning to counter-act. objectively speaking if you care about tan lines you would want to be either fully covered or in a bikini when outside not ever partially covered -- like asians do.
of course its because they want to be whores.

>>18466132
Based. Why don't Australians dress like this any more? They all wear puffer jackets as soon as the temperature drops below 25C

>>18465226
Are you fat, autistic, muslim or all three? Get over yourself

>>18466252
adding..
to be fair i think part of it is also just lack of knowledge that pants keep you cooler too. its not even a male/female thing a lot of people just assume
>stay warm? cut the legs off!
because you kind of do need a bit of the 'tism brain to think about things like billows effect and thermodynamics when it comes to what pants you're gonna put on. shorts are the intuitive choice even if they're often the wrong one.

>>18466252
>Pants keep you cooler in the heat

>>18466334
RIGHT?! Neither in the United States! I swear, these guys just wanna feel superior about not wearing shorts, like some sort of weird flex. "Shorts are too casual, shorts make you look childish, shorts make you look like a fag," and the list goes on with a lot of stupid reasons. I think they overall just need to get off their high horse.
Shorts look perfectly fine as long as they're appropriate for the occasion and not overly long/baggy and you have decent or at least average looking legs. I think these guys vehemently against shorts must be compensating for something. Perhaps hiding their fat pale hairy legs?
Oh, and if I need to say it, pale or hairy legs on their own aren't bad, as you can't really control that, but if they're fat legs, which you can control, then the paleness and hairiness just adds onto it.

>>18463880
If you're a man without legs to show off you should kill yourself. Women absolutely drip when they see a juicy set of quads poking out the bottom of some 5 inch inseams and powerful glutes to round em off.

i don't get why zoomers have the thing about midlength socks and they HAVE to be scrunched up. they ape everything 90s, except the socks. in the 90s people wore no-show socks with shorts. watch any 90s skate video. no show socks. but some tiktoker said you just GOTTA wear scrunched up socks and so they all do even though it makes no sense.

>>18466815
Long socks look better, no show socks are awful in terms of looks (but they're better in hot weather, I agree).

As an elder millenial, we didn't have no show socks as a standard part of our wardrobe until early 2000s.

>>18466747
Quite literally. Doesn't even have to be 5 inch inseams in specific. Just something at least a few inches above the knee, though 5 inch is still obviously preferred. I've worn 9 inch inseams and women just love the tease of when I sit down and my shorts ride up to show more thigh. But either way, women love quads, from my experience and other's as well.

>>18465130

>What fucking desert do you live in

>because this isn't true anywhere in Europe.
you're right that it's not applicable to most europeans. most of your continent is high humidity. i should say that next time. southern europe is less humid though, it would apply sometimes there.

>>18466736
>RIGHT?! Neither in the United States!
1/3 of the continental united states is considered desert or arid land. come to the west coast sometime.
