Hmmm…I don’t know. I see VERY small bump on the front of the guy in the white shorts. VERY small. The other two just look very mad…”hey, how come he gets a bump and we don’t”? They are plotting revenge…
All three people genitally-deficient manchildren are looking in the same direction; the photo manchild has already realized, to his growing horror, that they have been genetically and genitally modified by the express order of one M. Jackson, who just loves stretch knits.
This brings back very, very frightening memories of a week-long teacher’s conference I attended when I was still wet behind the ears. The coordinator was a very festive man who always wore little shorts. It either woke you up first thing in the AM, or it shocked you into a coma.
Granted it WAS very hot that summer.
At least now I know where he got his patterns.
His name was Jay, incidentally. You can fill in the blank as to the nick name we gave him.
Sheesh, I guess I’m the *only* one here who is pro short shorts for men?
OK, maybe not as short as this particular pattern. But I would like to see more men eschew the down-to-your-calves khakis in favor of sumthin’ a little 70’s with a much briefer inseam. You know, Tom Selleck ala Magnum P.I.? You *know* that stuff was good!
My uncle has a vast collection of these AND Richard Simmons-esque shorts, which he likes to wear ala naturel while mowing the lawn. Quick, avert your eyes kids!
I’m amused that the sight of a man’s thigh would be shocking. It’s tiring to always see men in the equivalent of an adult diaper. Not everyone wants to look like they just got out of prison.
ilove my short shorts and would were them all the time if not thought of as bay. go to international male and look up side split denimshorts ,ive got those and have the legs to pull it off!!!!email me for proof. lol
Some of you people are nuts, I am a 35 yr old male with a 32 waist and i wear normal fitting shorts all the time, IE boys camp shorts,jean cutoffs,OP cord shorts, Yes i still have a lot of stuff from my teen years and they still fit and look nice on me, To me its the teen boys who look sort of gay with baggy saggy so called shorts that expose thie butts and underpants, they are the ones who are advertising in those prison do rags and thats were the baggy saggy style came from,yes sir it came from the convicts not me,and we all what they like to do dont we?
There r women who actually like 2 see men who wears short shorts. Some don’t. It all depends on ur preference. Women have wild fantasies and sometimes like 2 see something different on men that’s not “run-of- the mill”. I’m a man and I’m not bi or homosexual. I like 2 wear short shorts because women tell me all the time I have great legs and whistle and oh and aw me all the time.
Finally, somebody’s talking about what happened to men’s shorts. I am as much into short shorts as I was in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Fashion shifted around me (us) to where short shorts are supposed to be unfashionable, supposedly. I definitely buck that trend, and can’t understand how so many men can be so easily led to wherever. Don’t these guys have a mind of their own? I have to wonder.
Help. I’ve got one pair of “short shorts” I’ve stitched up a few times. Any sources? (A pattern wouldn’t help me. I’m 64 and I’ve gotten compliments on the shorts several times. The brand is “DeeCee”, but they don’t have anything like my short rise shorts.
Me too, I wear short shorts so short that sometimes half of my ass shows – almost all of the time some of my ass shows. I’ve been doing this since the 70s – nothing feels so free.
Finally! I thought I was the only ‘weirdo’ liking short shorts! I’ ve had it with those idiots wearing those ‘bags’ or ’sacks’ on them! Soon, they’ ll tell you they invented long pants, those supposed shorts seem to be getting longer by each passing year!
Long live the short shorts, as it were!
And, yes, bobo, they will come back in style.
Oops! I meant to say:’And, yes, shortshortsdc, they will come back in style. I thought bobo had made the comment about their coming back in style, sorry.
I’m with Kyle on this one – I also wear my short shorts are so short, that my ass is always showing – sometimes one-half with my very shortest shorts – I get all sorts of compliments from the women (and wolf-whistles, catcalls, etc). Short shorts are sooo much more fun to wear than long shorts, that’s why they became so popular during the 70s.
I have smooth athletic thighs which I love to show off in short running shorts (Adidas) and 1″ speedos. Both are becoming rarer (almost taboo in the US)everywhere except perhaps Europe. Such a loss. Hope short-shorts and speedos come back soon, as all fashion is supposed to.
Sim
I wear short shorts all the time. Since they are not readily available in the men’s wear, I resort to the Junior’s section. 2-3 inch inseams abound with stretch fabrics…oooh so free!!
I love short shorts, I too don’t understand what happened. Why the heck do alot of idiots wear these gang type and prison kind of clothes? I have a few pairs, but miss a couple pairs of short cotton shorts that were stretchy and so comfortable. I went so far this apst summer as to cut off some jeans and they looked hot, was too shy to put them on though lol. I wish I knew where I can get another pair of elastic stretch cotton short shorts, I definetly would wear them again!
I love short shorts too. I ride a bicycle daily and work out. My quadriceps are well defined and I feel comfortable in my 2 inch inseams. And I am only 59.
Hey, I’m a guy who is still pretty trim at 61 and have worn very short shorts for much of my life! Fortunately, I have good legs and keep them shaved all the time, have for many years. For five or six years I only had two pair of long pants and one of those was suit pants. I had seven pair of extremely short shorts which I wore 99% of the time. I still have four or five pair which I wear constantly, even in winter. I love to travel in women’s “Hot Pants” shorts year round (it’s hard to find real short shorts in the men’s dept.). Love the looks & comments I get. I usually don’t even take long pants with me on trips no matter how cold it is. Around home I never wear pants, just “dorm shirts” and only short shorts out and about unless working, etc.
i luv teen boys wearing short shorts which was very much in vogue in eighties. but late nnties saw the decline the trend towards those saggy lenghty half pants. boys in skin tight short shorts are great and only issue then is where to park the banana!
Hi there, you short shorts loving folks, how’s life to-day? I like all those things you wrote about those really hot pants for guys, some of you even daring to show half your butts!
All right, why should women wear all the short clothes? I like showing my gorgeous brown legs in a small short. The girls love it, I can see it in their eyes. And the boys get an immediate erection. Horny, is not it?
Keep on wearing those daisy dukes!
Yammy yammy, all those yummy legs and half of the asses in realy short shorts. Cannot wait for the summer of 2007, the summer of the short shorts for men with brown, muscled, gorgeous legs!
See ye in hot pants, guys! Love you all.
Horny, horny, superhorny.
It’s great to see that there are so many other guys out there that like to wear real short shorts rather than the baggy mid-calf length capri pants that are laughingly called “shorts” or even the mid-thigh shorts that some call “short shorts”. I have several pair of short shorts, nearly all of which expose at least a bit of cheek and more than an occasional flash of my nylon bikinis (buy those a bit tight and there is no problem keeping your fish in its pond). Some of these shorts I bought right off the rack in the seventies and eighties (yeah, I’m an old fart but I look good and I have good looking, naturally hairless legs) and some I hemmed up myself ($25 sewing machine from Goodwill). I wear them 90% of the time, even in cold weather, but my graduate advisor wont let me wear them to the lab -oh well- he wont even let me wear longer shorts, like with a 2 or 3 inch inseam to the lab (it’s a bio lab – no caustic chemicals, he’s just narrow minded on the subject). I run into that a lot though, along with occasional derogatory comments, but I don’t let it bug me. Some gals really dig my shorts, but a few have been inspired to administer a spanking. Once while on a trip with several other people a girl gave me a thorough switching on by bare thighs (I had been teasing her) bringing me to tears and leaving numerous red and purple welts on the fronts as well as the backs of my thighs. Furthermore she made me wear only the briefest of shorts for the rest of the trip (she kept my one pair of long pants and some of my longer shorts until the end of the trip) and, with the backing of the others in the group, made me go out in public as much as possible so people could see my marks. It was very humiliating, but she was definitely enjoying my predicament and after a while I got sort of turned on by it. Wearing short shorts has its risks, but its worth it.
Here are some web-shopping tips for all of you short-short fans: underwearproducts.com (Joe Snyder-thin lycra running shorts-no need for underwear).
bodyaware.com (several types-”new york” shorts will definately leave half your backside in plain view).
Those are my faves. Hope you enjoy!
I’m 46 and in the 70s and 80s, short shorts were all the guys wore. I also don’t get these baggy “shorts” that kids wear these days. On a really hot day, these modern “shorts” where just the calves show don’t even cool you down any. About 3 years ago I said hell with it and bought a few pairs of jean “shorts” at wal-mart, and cut them down to size. I made one with a 3″ inseam (too long as far as I’m concerned), one with a 1″ inseam (about right), and another with practically no inseam. So what if someone sees my skivvies.
Short shorts need to come back in style. Those extremely long baggy shorts look ridiculous! All these guys and boy who wear the long and baggy have been brainwashed and will someday look back and realize how ridiculous they looked in them. Why is this country so ashamed of the male body where we cannot even wear normal shorts. Remember, they are called shorts, not man capri pants! Come on retailers, start carrying some real shorts!
I too like very short shorts, whether they’re jean shorts orthe lycra running variety. I don’t seem to have had too much trouble getting them in the UK, and maybe at the back of that is the British schoolboy tradition – I wore grey school shorts until I was over 12, as did most of my classmates. Also, I’m quite prepared to take a pair of scissors to anything that’s offensively long, if I can’t buy anything else.
I’m also an oldie (age 56) who still enjoys wearing short shorts most of the year. I love the freedom of walking out with bare legs (and I mean the whole of my legs), possibly a bit of bum showing, and bulges in all the right places! Luckily I have legs worth seeing (so am told), not that that’s the point, but it is nice to see someone taking pleasure in my – well, exhibitionism, if you like.
Seems to me all those young lads in their darned baseball caps and long trousers are more buttoned up even than my generation. Well, I don’t mind if others think I’m weird, I’m enjoying myself.
Keep on wearing the short shorts, both women and men, and the message will get through one day.
Hello there everyone and happy new year to all of you with your marvellous legs. Did anyone of you perform as Santa Claus in a blinky-blnky red hotpants with white fur? Sexy, sexy! I get a stiff dick thinking about it, and I’m not gay.
My wife is over 40 and she likes wearing supershort miniskirts. Hmmm, what about that?
But this year it’s up to us, men, to show them what we’ve got.
Prosit Neujahr 2007!
Hey I’m a straight guy that also were’s extremely short shorts that show half my ass and I love the attention that I get from some women. I’m glad to see that there are other guys doing the same thing. My favorite trick
is to cut off blue jeams so that they have about a 1 inch inseam and show lots of butt in the back. I’m in my 20’s and have been told that I have great legs and a great ass so I take to the opportunity to show them as much as possible. I say if you got it flaunt it.
I’ve always worn short shorts and even used to get teased in High Scool for it. I think it started when my mum bought me a pair of small adidas rugby shorts that were on special.
As a teenager I remember enjoying the feeling of them riding up and making my smalls ride up in a wedgie which I developed a ritual of picking out. I probably wore them pulled up higher than they were meant to be worn and got the nickname ‘wedgie boy’ & ‘ass cheek’.
I am in my early 30s now and have continued wearing tight short sport shorts and don’t worry what people think. As a keen cyclist I have the legs and bum to show off and still enjoy my undies riding up. Anyone got any pictures of them or other guys in short shorts riding up their ass ?
Ah, the Adidas shorts of the 1980s. We didn’t think of them as short shorts but just shorts. Then again, we did have knee high socks with two stripes at the top. T-shirts were sometimes tucked in. We either wore swim shorts or Speedos. Last year, one could see men and boys wearing their swim burqas with the pant length down to the ankles. Here’s a cheer to Daniel Craig of 007 fame for making men masculine again by wearing a swim suit instead of swim pants/male burqas.
I just love to wear very short shorts so I buy girls stretch denim hotpants or those tight nylon gymshorts. These I wear out with over the knee socks which cetainly gets attention from the women !
I wear shorty shorts all the time in the summer and i don,t care what others think, it all depends on your build, if you are tall and skinny with bean post hairy leggs then wear longs by all means as the longs will cover a muiltude of sins, but if your of average build with musculer leggs, ya man short shorts are the thing.
I would never wear short shorts at my age(59 yrs). My legs are way too big, thighs 27in, my calves 19 1/2in, Now I am not fat but am tall, stocky, and solid so I opt for the for the short pant just above the knee
Does anyone have suggestions on where to buy short shorts for men? Either “hot pants” (like in the 80’s), short chino shorts, or just regular running shorts that are very short (1″ inseam)?
I’m not looking to be an exhibitionist or anything, actually I’m pretty conservative, but shorts for men these days have gotten ridiculous. You really can’t call them shorts anymore – more like “floods” or “hightwaters”. I’m looking for inseams about 5″ inseam or shorter. 4″ or 3″ would be ideal, 2″ maybe and anything shorter is just too short. To answer “speedoboy” or anyone interested in the old 80’s nylon-tricot running shorts, try Soark.com
I also like wearing short shorts and I miss the ones that were so common in the 1980’s. Now I tend to wear mid thigh shorts, but sometimes shorter ones as well when I feel brave (usually when it is really hot or when I am bicycling). When I was in high school I used to wear shorts that probably had a two inch in-seam without feeling awkward at all even though they barely covered up my underwear. My favorite style was light colored cotton or nylon swim suits with a dark trim, especially light blue. When I was fourteen I remember a pretty girl insisting that I change into shorts, which back then meant something that was as brief as what she would typically wear.
The only time I felt awkward while wearing those shorts was when I knew I was going to get a spanking, because of the potential for some of the blows to land on the back of my legs. That stung like crazy and also allowed the redness to show, which let everyone know that I had just been spanked.
Now I feel a bit self conscious when wearing shorter shorts, especially when I walk by a group of younger guys with their backwards ballcaps, their sagging oversized shorts that go below their knees, and their dull and mean looks in their faces.
I am 48 but look 38 and I have an athletic build and a great pair of legs. I love wearing short shorts–I look very masculine in them. One day at the laundromat, a straight couple were commenting on my nice tight ass.
It’s the same for both guys and girls. If you’ve got good legs, go ahead and show them off, especially if you work out for them. If you don’t, it’s like getting breat implants and wearing baggy sweaters for the rest of your life.
I too like the 80’s school shorts i wore especially the tight ones that show your bum .I have even received a spanking in them. Even now I look like a kid and wear tight shorts and the women cant resist spanking my bum.
If you are into 4″inseam shorts go to sportif.com.I am 62 yrs old and I love showing off my lasered legs in mine.I’m only 5′4″ tall and I do have great legs.Can you ladies tell me if a guy shaves his legs and loves showing them off with short shorts does that make him gay to show his legs off.I get my legs lasered so I don’t have to shave everyday.They look and feel good in the summer when wearing my short shorts.By the way I have several pair of the 4″ shorts
I posted something on Dec. 15, and I’m glad to see this thread continuing, especially now that it’s finally getting warm. I like stw’s post about in High School not feeling awkward about a 2″ inseam that barely covered the underwear. I wish those days would return. I didn’t feel awkward either – non of us did. What happened? Unfortunately, I also notice the “dull mean” looks in the faces of the young guys with their long “shorts” and backward baseball caps. But it’s about 9:30 p.m. right now, the temp is 77, and I’m going to go out on my porch and sit and enjoy the weather while wearing my jean “shorts” that I got a wal-mart and cut down to real shorts size with not much inseam at all. As I said in my Dec 15 post, hell with it!
I would not worry to much about the punk teens who wear those long drabby baggy so called shorts down to thier ankles along with the backward baseball caps as they dont know any better becasue in thier life times they have never really seen what short pants are, But they do anger me when they call those long baggy things shorts as they are nothing but flood pants and we all know they will never get a tan on thier legs by wearing those hip-hop doo rags, I always thought the reson for wearing shorts was to get a healthy looking tan, Just chalk thier mean looks up to pure and simple ignorance or what ever other name you can think of and i can think of a lot of names to call them, And wearing short shorts is not a sin or a crime so to hell with others.
Short shorts may be out of style, and longer, down to the knee shorts are in, but all of you who want short shorts back must remember this: Although longer shorts are in, they are not as casual as they were in the 80’s. Back then, you only wore shorts on a hot day, on the beach or a quick run to the store. Today, having longer shorts as the fasion, you see them on jobs such as UPS drivers, mailmen, and policemen. I think that since men generally don’t shave or manacure their legs like women do has made shorts for men only casual, whereas a girl can wear a short skirt with nylons and be considered dressed up, but longer shorts have made shorts more presentable.
Today, a man can go out in the evening, bring a date to a nice restaurant, wear kaki “dress up” shorts with a nice shirt and be considered appropriate for the occasion. This would not be socially acceptable back in the 80’s so all of you older fasion guys have the positive side of shorts to think about.
I remember back in the 80’s I wasent allowed to wear shorts to school, always changing them in the evening to take out a girl, and change to pants when the temp went below 70. Today, since shorts are longer, wearing shorts in these situations is now acceptable.
Hello, It sure is nice to see that there are people other than me that still like to wear short shorts. It sucks to have to wear those hot, uncomfortable, long baggy gangster shorts that are in style right now. I work out and I like to wear a thong to the beach just to make a statment and show off my hard work. I still have a pair of the old sportiff shorts that were popular in the 80s but they are wearing out and I want to find some more short shorts for men but I can’t. I have considered buying womans short shorts but I don’t know the size interchange, my waist is 31 so I don’t know what that would be in womans size. I can’t wait for the day when short shorts for men come back in style so I can wear them without feeling like a freek.
I am 52, and I like wearing sidesplit running shorts when in my leisure time. I am slender/average build with slim legs, and I am most comfortable wearing short shorts. I admit when I visit the local c-store I feel a little self-concious of showing off my long bare legs, and often wonder what others may think of me. But, as long as I am comfortable, the heck with what others think!
Speedo has put on the market some shorts / swim suits with a 2″ inseam. They’re called “surfrunner” shorts or something like that. There’s another company called “Uzzi” that has some shorts with a 3″ inseam. I got some. They’re great. You can order them from Amazon.com. I’m starting to see more men (even young men) with shorts that end above the knees. Maybe 70s style won’t ever come back completely, but it’s great that some of the manufacturer’s are starting to make some real shorts again.
I really hope it becomes more acceptable to wear short shorts. I’ve just got up the courage and bought some short shorts for jogging–Aussie Rower shorts from UnderGear. They’re fairly form-fitting with no more than a 2″ inseam. On the one hand I still feel a bit self-conscious, but on the other hand I feel very liberated! I love the feel of having the whole length of my legs exposed, with just my butt and package covered.
I’m 29 and in decent shape. I usually swim in form-fitting square-cut suits. I think short shorts are like speedo/form-fitting swimwear: if you try it, you know it is more comfortable!
For those looking for short shorts I can’t recommend the Aussie Rower shorts from UnderGear (www.undergear.com) enough!
The best two pairs of casual shorts I own came from International Male. The first are called Survival Shorts II with a 4-inch inseam. Unfortunately, these are not avialable anywhere – apparently they sold out or something. The other shorts that they also sold out of are called Survival Gauze Shorts with a 5-inch inseam (made of fine cotton gauze). Both have small cargo pockets on each side. Does anyone know what happened to these? They are not in the mail-out catalogs (just got one today) and the search on their website comes up with “not available”. Maybe the overseas factories are trying to catch up?
I love very, very short shorts. I’m a guy who likes the feeling I get when people stare at me and laugh or comment. I have kept my legs shaved for many years and use skin lotion and tanner on them year ’round. I own absolutely no long pants! I never wear anything but the shortest (2″ inseam) shorts year around unless I’m going to something more “formal” then I’ll opt for a nice straight skirt! I don’t try to look like a girl, although all my clothes are women’s. Even in winter, I always wear short shorts or skirts, but as a guy. I’m not gay, nor a “crossdresser” in the usual sense, though many call me both! I just don’t like pants and never have!
I was a teen in the 1970’s in Queensland Australia. The weather here is pretty mild even in winter. I think I wore my first pair of long pants when I was 15 and even then I only got to wear them when going out at night on special occasions. The rest of the time I had to wear shorts. I had several pairs of shorts that had basically no leg length whatsoever.
My mom was very up front saying that she thought that kids looked better dressed like this. I was acutely self conscious wearing short shorts and singlet tops. Interesting with long socks. My sister too did not escape mums desire for maximum skin as she had only short skirts to wear. Interesting when you hear parents talking about modesty these days, they forget that only a couple of decades ago, a short skirt was seen as athletic.
Some of the shorts were very short but still had belt loops and were worn as formal clothes to restaurants and the like.
I, like BL, love wearing very short shorts. I also have smooth, tanned legs and workout regularly. I love wearing 2″ and less inseam shorts in public. I’ve received “nice legs” type comments from a couple of women and one guy. I’m still waiting on my first derogatory comment. Sometimes when I travel, I wear cutoffs that show an inch or so of my cheeks. I walked around Wal-Mart one night for about 30 minutes in these. It is a huge rush knowing someone else is enjoying staring at my dark, smooth legs and ass (which is also tanned). My wife says I have a bubble butt, and loves my smooth legs. I think most people like seeing women or men in short shorts as long as they keep in shape. I’ve had some guys hang around me for extended periods when I’ve been in Lowe’s in 1-2″ inseam shorts. I prefer being noticed by women, but if they guys enjoy, so be it. I think they really watch when I squat down and they can see the bottom of my cheeks from the front. I wear a thong so everything else is hidden. I also like wearing girls booty shorts around the house. These accentuate the butt nicely. Maybe short shorts for guys will be back in style soon.
Like many of you guys I have rediscovered the pleasure of wearing short shorts. You get the best short shorts from cutting the legs of jeans. I like my very short one…PLus I am very fit with great shaved legs (never got much ahir anyhow. Never had any bad comments, as a kid and a teeanger in the 70s and 80s, I would only wear those types of shorts. I think I am going to wear short shorts into the winter… just for fun…
What genitals? Those guys look about as anatomically correct as Ken.
Hmmm…I don’t know. I see VERY small bump on the front of the guy in the white shorts. VERY small. The other two just look very mad…”hey, how come he gets a bump and we don’t”? They are plotting revenge…
Gosh, short-shorts on men always make me so very nervous!
the scariest part is that pattern is a size 40. it’s like me wearing a bare midriff shirt. A crime against humanity at the very least.
I think I am going to have nightmares tonight. So, so wrong. Did you pick up this pattern in Europe?
Do men refer to their shirts as “tops”?
I’m sorry, being nitpicky here. Is that “Hotpants for me.” or “Hotpants for men.” ? Do you have boy things you want to talk about?
Rosa, um yeah. That would be a typo.
No man bits here, I promise.
Only a buck 5o… and all those lucky Candians, only 60 cents. That’s right, you too can have genital squshing shorts for dirt cheap…….
All three people genitally-deficient manchildren are looking in the same direction; the photo manchild has already realized, to his growing horror, that they have been genetically and genitally modified by the express order of one M. Jackson, who just loves stretch knits.
omg, Chris…are you from…Maine??? Ha. Have you ever been to O.O.B. I KNEW that I’ve seen these suits before!
available in three sizes! (the men that is)
This brings back very, very frightening memories of a week-long teacher’s conference I attended when I was still wet behind the ears. The coordinator was a very festive man who always wore little shorts. It either woke you up first thing in the AM, or it shocked you into a coma.
Granted it WAS very hot that summer.
At least now I know where he got his patterns.
His name was Jay, incidentally. You can fill in the blank as to the nick name we gave him.
So disappointing! Where are the Richard Simmons shorts and tank top on this pattern?
Guys don’t want to wear tight clothes least anyone think they’re gay.
Sheesh, I guess I’m the *only* one here who is pro short shorts for men?
OK, maybe not as short as this particular pattern. But I would like to see more men eschew the down-to-your-calves khakis in favor of sumthin’ a little 70’s with a much briefer inseam. You know, Tom Selleck ala Magnum P.I.? You *know* that stuff was good!
My uncle has a vast collection of these AND Richard Simmons-esque shorts, which he likes to wear ala naturel while mowing the lawn. Quick, avert your eyes kids!
I think their genitals are in specially designed macrame holders. Perhaps there’s a pattern for that?
is that why the guy in the main picture is so desperately twisting that string?
If you dare wear short shorts, NAIR for short shorts…
I dig the shorts butI think the pattern is actually for the shirts (which are pretty nice. who doesn’t need a basic t-shirt?)
I’m pro hotpants for men… and I vote!
Richard Simmons knew it was only just a matter of time before his signature look caught on….
geez, I love landscaping but Ill pass on the “twigs & berries” look…
Men’s short shorts rule.
I wore them as a kid in the eighties and it was normal. It should be normal now.
i wouldn’t wear that and yes i m
Hey guys….i am actually looking impataiently forward to wear these short shorts!!!!
I’m amused that the sight of a man’s thigh would be shocking. It’s tiring to always see men in the equivalent of an adult diaper. Not everyone wants to look like they just got out of prison.
ilove my short shorts and would were them all the time if not thought of as bay. go to international male and look up side split denimshorts ,ive got those and have the legs to pull it off!!!!email me for proof. lol
I always wear short shorts. My boy-goods look great in them and I’m always more comfortable than anyone else.
I love wearing short shorts. And I have 12 pair of short shorts at home.
Some of you people are nuts, I am a 35 yr old male with a 32 waist and i wear normal fitting shorts all the time, IE boys camp shorts,jean cutoffs,OP cord shorts, Yes i still have a lot of stuff from my teen years and they still fit and look nice on me, To me its the teen boys who look sort of gay with baggy saggy so called shorts that expose thie butts and underpants, they are the ones who are advertising in those prison do rags and thats were the baggy saggy style came from,yes sir it came from the convicts not me,and we all what they like to do dont we?
There r women who actually like 2 see men who wears short shorts. Some don’t. It all depends on ur preference. Women have wild fantasies and sometimes like 2 see something different on men that’s not “run-of- the mill”. I’m a man and I’m not bi or homosexual. I like 2 wear short shorts because women tell me all the time I have great legs and whistle and oh and aw me all the time.
i wear shorts so short, half my ass shows
Finally, somebody’s talking about what happened to men’s shorts. I am as much into short shorts as I was in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Fashion shifted around me (us) to where short shorts are supposed to be unfashionable, supposedly. I definitely buck that trend, and can’t understand how so many men can be so easily led to wherever. Don’t these guys have a mind of their own? I have to wonder.
Help. I’ve got one pair of “short shorts” I’ve stitched up a few times. Any sources? (A pattern wouldn’t help me. I’m 64 and I’ve gotten compliments on the shorts several times. The brand is “DeeCee”, but they don’t have anything like my short rise shorts.
Me too, I wear short shorts so short that sometimes half of my ass shows – almost all of the time some of my ass shows. I’ve been doing this since the 70s – nothing feels so free.
Love to see them come back in style.
Finally! I thought I was the only ‘weirdo’ liking short shorts! I’ ve had it with those idiots wearing those ‘bags’ or ’sacks’ on them! Soon, they’ ll tell you they invented long pants, those supposed shorts seem to be getting longer by each passing year!
Long live the short shorts, as it were!
And, yes, bobo, they will come back in style.
Oops! I meant to say:’And, yes, shortshortsdc, they will come back in style. I thought bobo had made the comment about their coming back in style, sorry.
I’m with Kyle on this one – I also wear my short shorts are so short, that my ass is always showing – sometimes one-half with my very shortest shorts – I get all sorts of compliments from the women (and wolf-whistles, catcalls, etc). Short shorts are sooo much more fun to wear than long shorts, that’s why they became so popular during the 70s.
This is the best info I have seen in a long time. I, too have thought that I am the only one that still liked to wear real shorts.
I have smooth athletic thighs which I love to show off in short running shorts (Adidas) and 1″ speedos. Both are becoming rarer (almost taboo in the US)everywhere except perhaps Europe. Such a loss. Hope short-shorts and speedos come back soon, as all fashion is supposed to.

I wear short shorts all the time. Since they are not readily available in the men’s wear, I resort to the Junior’s section. 2-3 inch inseams abound with stretch fabrics…oooh so free!!
I love short shorts, I too don’t understand what happened. Why the heck do alot of idiots wear these gang type and prison kind of clothes? I have a few pairs, but miss a couple pairs of short cotton shorts that were stretchy and so comfortable. I went so far this apst summer as to cut off some jeans and they looked hot, was too shy to put them on though lol. I wish I knew where I can get another pair of elastic stretch cotton short shorts, I definetly would wear them again!
I love short shorts too. I ride a bicycle daily and work out. My quadriceps are well defined and I feel comfortable in my 2 inch inseams. And I am only 59.
Hey, I’m a guy who is still pretty trim at 61 and have worn very short shorts for much of my life! Fortunately, I have good legs and keep them shaved all the time, have for many years. For five or six years I only had two pair of long pants and one of those was suit pants. I had seven pair of extremely short shorts which I wore 99% of the time. I still have four or five pair which I wear constantly, even in winter. I love to travel in women’s “Hot Pants” shorts year round (it’s hard to find real short shorts in the men’s dept.). Love the looks & comments I get. I usually don’t even take long pants with me on trips no matter how cold it is. Around home I never wear pants, just “dorm shirts” and only short shorts out and about unless working, etc.
Waaw, I like that, It’s about time men will wear short shorts. Why not, if you have beautiful legs like I have. All right, baby, hot pants for men!
i luv teen boys wearing short shorts which was very much in vogue in eighties. but late nnties saw the decline the trend towards those saggy lenghty half pants. boys in skin tight short shorts are great and only issue then is where to park the banana!
Hi there, you short shorts loving folks, how’s life to-day? I like all those things you wrote about those really hot pants for guys, some of you even daring to show half your butts!
All right, why should women wear all the short clothes? I like showing my gorgeous brown legs in a small short. The girls love it, I can see it in their eyes. And the boys get an immediate erection. Horny, is not it?
Keep on wearing those daisy dukes!
Yammy yammy, all those yummy legs and half of the asses in realy short shorts. Cannot wait for the summer of 2007, the summer of the short shorts for men with brown, muscled, gorgeous legs!
See ye in hot pants, guys! Love you all.
Horny, horny, superhorny.
It’s great to see that there are so many other guys out there that like to wear real short shorts rather than the baggy mid-calf length capri pants that are laughingly called “shorts” or even the mid-thigh shorts that some call “short shorts”. I have several pair of short shorts, nearly all of which expose at least a bit of cheek and more than an occasional flash of my nylon bikinis (buy those a bit tight and there is no problem keeping your fish in its pond). Some of these shorts I bought right off the rack in the seventies and eighties (yeah, I’m an old fart but I look good and I have good looking, naturally hairless legs) and some I hemmed up myself ($25 sewing machine from Goodwill). I wear them 90% of the time, even in cold weather, but my graduate advisor wont let me wear them to the lab -oh well- he wont even let me wear longer shorts, like with a 2 or 3 inch inseam to the lab (it’s a bio lab – no caustic chemicals, he’s just narrow minded on the subject). I run into that a lot though, along with occasional derogatory comments, but I don’t let it bug me. Some gals really dig my shorts, but a few have been inspired to administer a spanking. Once while on a trip with several other people a girl gave me a thorough switching on by bare thighs (I had been teasing her) bringing me to tears and leaving numerous red and purple welts on the fronts as well as the backs of my thighs. Furthermore she made me wear only the briefest of shorts for the rest of the trip (she kept my one pair of long pants and some of my longer shorts until the end of the trip) and, with the backing of the others in the group, made me go out in public as much as possible so people could see my marks. It was very humiliating, but she was definitely enjoying my predicament and after a while I got sort of turned on by it. Wearing short shorts has its risks, but its worth it.
Here are some web-shopping tips for all of you short-short fans: underwearproducts.com (Joe Snyder-thin lycra running shorts-no need for underwear).
bodyaware.com (several types-”new york” shorts will definately leave half your backside in plain view).
Those are my faves. Hope you enjoy!
I’m 46 and in the 70s and 80s, short shorts were all the guys wore. I also don’t get these baggy “shorts” that kids wear these days. On a really hot day, these modern “shorts” where just the calves show don’t even cool you down any. About 3 years ago I said hell with it and bought a few pairs of jean “shorts” at wal-mart, and cut them down to size. I made one with a 3″ inseam (too long as far as I’m concerned), one with a 1″ inseam (about right), and another with practically no inseam. So what if someone sees my skivvies.
Short shorts need to come back in style. Those extremely long baggy shorts look ridiculous! All these guys and boy who wear the long and baggy have been brainwashed and will someday look back and realize how ridiculous they looked in them. Why is this country so ashamed of the male body where we cannot even wear normal shorts. Remember, they are called shorts, not man capri pants! Come on retailers, start carrying some real shorts!
I too like very short shorts, whether they’re jean shorts orthe lycra running variety. I don’t seem to have had too much trouble getting them in the UK, and maybe at the back of that is the British schoolboy tradition – I wore grey school shorts until I was over 12, as did most of my classmates. Also, I’m quite prepared to take a pair of scissors to anything that’s offensively long, if I can’t buy anything else.
I’m also an oldie (age 56) who still enjoys wearing short shorts most of the year. I love the freedom of walking out with bare legs (and I mean the whole of my legs), possibly a bit of bum showing, and bulges in all the right places! Luckily I have legs worth seeing (so am told), not that that’s the point, but it is nice to see someone taking pleasure in my – well, exhibitionism, if you like.
Seems to me all those young lads in their darned baseball caps and long trousers are more buttoned up even than my generation. Well, I don’t mind if others think I’m weird, I’m enjoying myself.
Keep on wearing the short shorts, both women and men, and the message will get through one day.

Hello there everyone and happy new year to all of you with your marvellous legs. Did anyone of you perform as Santa Claus in a blinky-blnky red hotpants with white fur? Sexy, sexy! I get a stiff dick thinking about it, and I’m not gay.
My wife is over 40 and she likes wearing supershort miniskirts. Hmmm, what about that?
But this year it’s up to us, men, to show them what we’ve got.
Prosit Neujahr 2007!

Hey I’m a straight guy that also were’s extremely short shorts that show half my ass and I love the attention that I get from some women. I’m glad to see that there are other guys doing the same thing. My favorite trick
is to cut off blue jeams so that they have about a 1 inch inseam and show lots of butt in the back. I’m in my 20’s and have been told that I have great legs and a great ass so I take to the opportunity to show them as much as possible. I say if you got it flaunt it.
I’ve always worn short shorts and even used to get teased in High Scool for it. I think it started when my mum bought me a pair of small adidas rugby shorts that were on special.
As a teenager I remember enjoying the feeling of them riding up and making my smalls ride up in a wedgie which I developed a ritual of picking out. I probably wore them pulled up higher than they were meant to be worn and got the nickname ‘wedgie boy’ & ‘ass cheek’.
I am in my early 30s now and have continued wearing tight short sport shorts and don’t worry what people think. As a keen cyclist I have the legs and bum to show off and still enjoy my undies riding up. Anyone got any pictures of them or other guys in short shorts riding up their ass ?
Ah, the Adidas shorts of the 1980s. We didn’t think of them as short shorts but just shorts. Then again, we did have knee high socks with two stripes at the top. T-shirts were sometimes tucked in. We either wore swim shorts or Speedos. Last year, one could see men and boys wearing their swim burqas with the pant length down to the ankles. Here’s a cheer to Daniel Craig of 007 fame for making men masculine again by wearing a swim suit instead of swim pants/male burqas.
I just love to wear very short shorts so I buy girls stretch denim hotpants or those tight nylon gymshorts. These I wear out with over the knee socks which cetainly gets attention from the women !
I wear shorty shorts all the time in the summer and i don,t care what others think, it all depends on your build, if you are tall and skinny with bean post hairy leggs then wear longs by all means as the longs will cover a muiltude of sins, but if your of average build with musculer leggs, ya man short shorts are the thing.
I would never wear short shorts at my age(59 yrs). My legs are way too big, thighs 27in, my calves 19 1/2in, Now I am not fat but am tall, stocky, and solid so I opt for the for the short pant just above the knee
Does anyone have suggestions on where to buy short shorts for men? Either “hot pants” (like in the 80’s), short chino shorts, or just regular running shorts that are very short (1″ inseam)?
I’m not looking to be an exhibitionist or anything, actually I’m pretty conservative, but shorts for men these days have gotten ridiculous. You really can’t call them shorts anymore – more like “floods” or “hightwaters”. I’m looking for inseams about 5″ inseam or shorter. 4″ or 3″ would be ideal, 2″ maybe and anything shorter is just too short. To answer “speedoboy” or anyone interested in the old 80’s nylon-tricot running shorts, try Soark.com
Sounds like something more comfortable and fun to wear I am all for it.
I also like wearing short shorts and I miss the ones that were so common in the 1980’s. Now I tend to wear mid thigh shorts, but sometimes shorter ones as well when I feel brave (usually when it is really hot or when I am bicycling). When I was in high school I used to wear shorts that probably had a two inch in-seam without feeling awkward at all even though they barely covered up my underwear. My favorite style was light colored cotton or nylon swim suits with a dark trim, especially light blue. When I was fourteen I remember a pretty girl insisting that I change into shorts, which back then meant something that was as brief as what she would typically wear.
The only time I felt awkward while wearing those shorts was when I knew I was going to get a spanking, because of the potential for some of the blows to land on the back of my legs. That stung like crazy and also allowed the redness to show, which let everyone know that I had just been spanked.
Now I feel a bit self conscious when wearing shorter shorts, especially when I walk by a group of younger guys with their backwards ballcaps, their sagging oversized shorts that go below their knees, and their dull and mean looks in their faces.
I am 48 but look 38 and I have an athletic build and a great pair of legs. I love wearing short shorts–I look very masculine in them. One day at the laundromat, a straight couple were commenting on my nice tight ass.

I also wear nice tight swimming shorts when I bicycle. I don’t care what people think. I know guys and women stare at me.

My short-shorts opinion?
It’s the same for both guys and girls. If you’ve got good legs, go ahead and show them off, especially if you work out for them. If you don’t, it’s like getting breat implants and wearing baggy sweaters for the rest of your life.
I too like the 80’s school shorts i wore especially the tight ones that show your bum .I have even received a spanking in them. Even now I look like a kid and wear tight shorts and the women cant resist spanking my bum.
Keep this discussion alive.
Bring back short shorts. Men like to show their legs off too.
If you are into 4″inseam shorts go to sportif.com.I am 62 yrs old and I love showing off my lasered legs in mine.I’m only 5′4″ tall and I do have great legs.Can you ladies tell me if a guy shaves his legs and loves showing them off with short shorts does that make him gay to show his legs off.I get my legs lasered so I don’t have to shave everyday.They look and feel good in the summer when wearing my short shorts.By the way I have several pair of the 4″ shorts
I posted something on Dec. 15, and I’m glad to see this thread continuing, especially now that it’s finally getting warm. I like stw’s post about in High School not feeling awkward about a 2″ inseam that barely covered the underwear. I wish those days would return. I didn’t feel awkward either – non of us did. What happened? Unfortunately, I also notice the “dull mean” looks in the faces of the young guys with their long “shorts” and backward baseball caps. But it’s about 9:30 p.m. right now, the temp is 77, and I’m going to go out on my porch and sit and enjoy the weather while wearing my jean “shorts” that I got a wal-mart and cut down to real shorts size with not much inseam at all. As I said in my Dec 15 post, hell with it!
I would not worry to much about the punk teens who wear those long drabby baggy so called shorts down to thier ankles along with the backward baseball caps as they dont know any better becasue in thier life times they have never really seen what short pants are, But they do anger me when they call those long baggy things shorts as they are nothing but flood pants and we all know they will never get a tan on thier legs by wearing those hip-hop doo rags, I always thought the reson for wearing shorts was to get a healthy looking tan, Just chalk thier mean looks up to pure and simple ignorance or what ever other name you can think of and i can think of a lot of names to call them, And wearing short shorts is not a sin or a crime so to hell with others.
Short shorts may be out of style, and longer, down to the knee shorts are in, but all of you who want short shorts back must remember this: Although longer shorts are in, they are not as casual as they were in the 80’s. Back then, you only wore shorts on a hot day, on the beach or a quick run to the store. Today, having longer shorts as the fasion, you see them on jobs such as UPS drivers, mailmen, and policemen. I think that since men generally don’t shave or manacure their legs like women do has made shorts for men only casual, whereas a girl can wear a short skirt with nylons and be considered dressed up, but longer shorts have made shorts more presentable.
Today, a man can go out in the evening, bring a date to a nice restaurant, wear kaki “dress up” shorts with a nice shirt and be considered appropriate for the occasion. This would not be socially acceptable back in the 80’s so all of you older fasion guys have the positive side of shorts to think about.
I remember back in the 80’s I wasent allowed to wear shorts to school, always changing them in the evening to take out a girl, and change to pants when the temp went below 70. Today, since shorts are longer, wearing shorts in these situations is now acceptable.
Hello, It sure is nice to see that there are people other than me that still like to wear short shorts. It sucks to have to wear those hot, uncomfortable, long baggy gangster shorts that are in style right now. I work out and I like to wear a thong to the beach just to make a statment and show off my hard work. I still have a pair of the old sportiff shorts that were popular in the 80s but they are wearing out and I want to find some more short shorts for men but I can’t. I have considered buying womans short shorts but I don’t know the size interchange, my waist is 31 so I don’t know what that would be in womans size. I can’t wait for the day when short shorts for men come back in style so I can wear them without feeling like a freek.
http://www.bodyaware.com have some nice stuff. Boyshorts etc.
If anyone has tried this company please get in touch.
I am 52, and I like wearing sidesplit running shorts when in my leisure time. I am slender/average build with slim legs, and I am most comfortable wearing short shorts. I admit when I visit the local c-store I feel a little self-concious of showing off my long bare legs, and often wonder what others may think of me. But, as long as I am comfortable, the heck with what others think!
Speedo has put on the market some shorts / swim suits with a 2″ inseam. They’re called “surfrunner” shorts or something like that. There’s another company called “Uzzi” that has some shorts with a 3″ inseam. I got some. They’re great. You can order them from Amazon.com. I’m starting to see more men (even young men) with shorts that end above the knees. Maybe 70s style won’t ever come back completely, but it’s great that some of the manufacturer’s are starting to make some real shorts again.
I really hope it becomes more acceptable to wear short shorts. I’ve just got up the courage and bought some short shorts for jogging–Aussie Rower shorts from UnderGear. They’re fairly form-fitting with no more than a 2″ inseam. On the one hand I still feel a bit self-conscious, but on the other hand I feel very liberated! I love the feel of having the whole length of my legs exposed, with just my butt and package covered.
I’m 29 and in decent shape. I usually swim in form-fitting square-cut suits. I think short shorts are like speedo/form-fitting swimwear: if you try it, you know it is more comfortable!
For those looking for short shorts I can’t recommend the Aussie Rower shorts from UnderGear (www.undergear.com) enough!
The best two pairs of casual shorts I own came from International Male. The first are called Survival Shorts II with a 4-inch inseam. Unfortunately, these are not avialable anywhere – apparently they sold out or something. The other shorts that they also sold out of are called Survival Gauze Shorts with a 5-inch inseam (made of fine cotton gauze). Both have small cargo pockets on each side. Does anyone know what happened to these? They are not in the mail-out catalogs (just got one today) and the search on their website comes up with “not available”. Maybe the overseas factories are trying to catch up?
hi, can someone tell me where to find short jean shorts? I wanna wear them cuz I wanna show off my legs and butt.
I love very, very short shorts. I’m a guy who likes the feeling I get when people stare at me and laugh or comment. I have kept my legs shaved for many years and use skin lotion and tanner on them year ’round. I own absolutely no long pants! I never wear anything but the shortest (2″ inseam) shorts year around unless I’m going to something more “formal” then I’ll opt for a nice straight skirt! I don’t try to look like a girl, although all my clothes are women’s. Even in winter, I always wear short shorts or skirts, but as a guy. I’m not gay, nor a “crossdresser” in the usual sense, though many call me both! I just don’t like pants and never have!
I was a teen in the 1970’s in Queensland Australia. The weather here is pretty mild even in winter. I think I wore my first pair of long pants when I was 15 and even then I only got to wear them when going out at night on special occasions. The rest of the time I had to wear shorts. I had several pairs of shorts that had basically no leg length whatsoever.
My mom was very up front saying that she thought that kids looked better dressed like this. I was acutely self conscious wearing short shorts and singlet tops. Interesting with long socks. My sister too did not escape mums desire for maximum skin as she had only short skirts to wear. Interesting when you hear parents talking about modesty these days, they forget that only a couple of decades ago, a short skirt was seen as athletic.
Some of the shorts were very short but still had belt loops and were worn as formal clothes to restaurants and the like.
I, like BL, love wearing very short shorts. I also have smooth, tanned legs and workout regularly. I love wearing 2″ and less inseam shorts in public. I’ve received “nice legs” type comments from a couple of women and one guy. I’m still waiting on my first derogatory comment. Sometimes when I travel, I wear cutoffs that show an inch or so of my cheeks. I walked around Wal-Mart one night for about 30 minutes in these. It is a huge rush knowing someone else is enjoying staring at my dark, smooth legs and ass (which is also tanned). My wife says I have a bubble butt, and loves my smooth legs. I think most people like seeing women or men in short shorts as long as they keep in shape. I’ve had some guys hang around me for extended periods when I’ve been in Lowe’s in 1-2″ inseam shorts. I prefer being noticed by women, but if they guys enjoy, so be it. I think they really watch when I squat down and they can see the bottom of my cheeks from the front. I wear a thong so everything else is hidden. I also like wearing girls booty shorts around the house. These accentuate the butt nicely. Maybe short shorts for guys will be back in style soon.
Can someone tell me where to find short jean shorts? Cuz I wanna show off my legs and bubble butt.
Alex, your best bet is to cut off an old pair of jeans with scissors. That way you can cut them whatever length you want.
Like many of you guys I have rediscovered the pleasure of wearing short shorts. You get the best short shorts from cutting the legs of jeans. I like my very short one…PLus I am very fit with great shaved legs (never got much ahir anyhow. Never had any bad comments, as a kid and a teeanger in the 70s and 80s, I would only wear those types of shorts. I think I am going to wear short shorts into the winter… just for fun…
Peace to all!
