I like shorts.
They're comfy and easy to wear.

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.

Legs are just arms with shitty hands.
Arms are just legs with shitty feet.
Nah our hands make much better foot substitutes than our feet do hands substitutes. Walking on your hands is way easier than trying to paint a masterpiece or code for hours with your feet!

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.
..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.
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?

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?
No one is supposed to do anything.
Were hurling through space on the crust of a molten core rock, orbiting an angry fusion reactor.
Do whatever, star stuff

I'm a woman, but can't speak for anyone else here. Also, you do realize that anyone can shave as little or as much as they want regardless of gender, right?
Of course, my comment was mostly intended humorously.
At the same time, social norms and customs do exist and while anyone is free to ignore them, I was also curious if it had become common for men to shave their legs when wearing shorts.

Well, I suppose the shorts weren't going to shave themselves.
I really never understand any amount of shame of one's own body. Like I understand tons and tons of people feel it but I don't understand why.
I think it boils down to a fear of rejection.
Our entire lives we watch pretty people on TV being pretty, that's the most influential standard for "pretty" we have, and still sometimes the script calls for one of them to be labelled as "ugly" and to be ridiculed or rejected from the "cool ones" because of it. Think of all those beautiful acresses cast as nerdy characters who's hair was put into a ponytail, who got given glasses and a singular fake pimple (of even) and everyone pretended like they were some epitome of unattractiveness
obviously TV didn't make this problem, but it sure as hell made it worse.
you don't want to be ugly, because the ugly ones don't fit in, the ugly ones don't eat with us, the ugly ones are poor and smelly, so you don't want to be seen as ugly, do you?
I have scars / bumps on my legs that I am self conscious about. I wanted to wear a dress to a party in mid summer. Two months of extreme effort to moisturize and not scratch and I thought they looked pretty darn good ... For me at least. My niece asked why I had polka dots on my legs within two minutes of greeting me. Kids just be spittin' truth. So I cover my legs.

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.

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

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!

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.

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