I like shorts.

They're comfy and easy to wear.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

I'm actually wearing a skort.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Top percentage right here

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 5 points 3 months ago

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

You don't wear shorts because legs, I don't wear shorts for mosquito defense. We are not the same LMAO

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I am a mosquito banquet actually. There's always a bite on the back of my knee even if I wear pants.

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

This is such a trans tweet lol

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 37 points 3 months ago

I feel that way as a cis guy. :(

[-] Catoblepas 21 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe. It doesn't apply to me. I love shorts, I love my legs.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 28 points 3 months ago

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

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Bonje@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It's a pain to do tho.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 8 points 3 months ago

A... are you all women? Or are men like supposed to shave their legs too and somebody forgot to tell me?

[-] Bonje@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 11 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] moody@lemmings.world 15 points 3 months ago

The Prophet Muhammad married an 8-year-old. That kind of puts it into perspective.

Long sleeves ftw

[-] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago

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

You clearly have not lived with 32°C

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

It's going to be 34 here this week. I'll probably be at home in my underwear.

[-] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

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.

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

[-] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

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!

[-] wedeworps@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Did you perhaps become a father?

[-] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?

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

I'm-a wearin' shorts.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Being comfortable IS Dad Mode.
