Excuses
 

Welcome back Tom .

Yes, the gay label can well be the convenient excuse. As I have a thing for WP players I can just image one overweight guy in the middle of a team line-up of those tall, flat torsoed and tanned guys in their low-cut speedos - just wouldn't be right would it ?

At the other end of the spectrum however I never think the skinny guys do themselves any favors wearing long baggy board shorts flapping around spindly legs.

A bit of a contradiction arises however , in boldness and insecurity, when you say "....to hell with what others think...." but "....where we could find speedo-friendly beaches......" (STS will no doubt have something to say on that).

Btw there are specialist forums on the www for workout routines and swimming techiques.

What
 

I still don't know what one means asking about speedo friendly beaches. Just wear the damned speedo and let it go at that unless you are wanting to be hit on. If you do I guess the odds are that you may be. Good for you if that's what you are looking for!

Amen! Man Up - wear the damn speedo and enjoy the sun and water. There is no need to take a survey first. I am guessing that if someone is asking if it is "Speedo Friendly" they are too upright to wear and enjoy a speedo in public. Just wear the damn thing - why such a big issue over a swimsuit?

One of my main unfavorable reactions to boardies or non-swim brief styles are the horrible feeling of water soaked fabric slapping and clinging against my thighs; plus water dripping from the suit. Yes, it's a personal aspect; just wanted to share.

I more appropriately call the unpleasant sensation of swimming in boardies as "Swimming with your pants on". :mad:

the cling factor
 

.........and what a sight they are when coming OUT of the water ! - the first thing I notice with boardie-wearers is that they always reach down to release all that clinging wet material from the crotch area - so much for the more modest presentation of themselves !
