just cant understand it why why why
 

Hundreds of shorts sellers offer very short shorts 3 inseam and less.
Ebay , Aussibum and many outher offer them by the hundresa on there internet sites.
Why in tarnation dont we see anyone wearing them on the streets and outher places, surely if these firms offer them all over the net they must surely sell a lot.
Yet no one is seen wearing them.
Except very long shorts well below the knees from 5 6 7 and 8 inseam.
I wonder how guys could wear such ugly shorts, I feel like (lol) vomitting just looking at them. Its byong me and a complete mystery to me .

Heck the hundreds and hundreds of guys who buy the short ones must wear them somewere.

short images
 

OK - fingers crossed here:

The first one is a pure excuse for me to post something yummy.

The second is pink worn with black socks and black Oxfords in,
I believe, Miami, and certainly not what I would call a la mode:

Bron, yes, it's picky me again - LOL The first URL did not work for for me. Believe it would have been a delight to see. And, pink shorts with black socks? OMG - LOL Ronaldo is always yummy.

Here's my comment on the same subject from another site:

Byron- good pics
california dolphin- Its good to see such sites as you posted, at least its a start, lets hope its at least the beginning of the end of UGH long shorts.

CR
 

Apology to Crail - hope you saw correction on him - and what a tan !

A star-studded career - was born in Madeira - now with Real Madrid
after being with Man. Utd. - and would cost a few billion dollars to be bought today !

lederhosen
 

Louis said "all over the world" so I thought of Germany and then found
lederhosen BOARDSHORTS ! - so how on earth can anyone surf in LEATHER ?

It seems they are Blue Tomato from Austria and are in fact a photo-print on a fast
-drying material:

For those unfamiliar with the real thing (likely to be seen nowadays only at traditional festivals) here is a pic:

I don't know where you are going swimming. I haven't seen swim shorts below the knees in a couple years. All I see is above the knee to mid thigh. A few short shorts, but nothing below the knee. When I was at the beach last week I kind of checked things out and there seemed to be two kinds of suits being worn. The flat front board shorts VERY low on the hips and 2-3" speedos. Nothing covering too much and nothing not covering enough.

Just Cant....
 

Did I mention on beaches or at pools or anywere there is water, if my memory is correct I mentionned on the streets.
You are probably right it may be very seldom to see shorts as low as below the knees worn by guys to swim. Anyway one way or another short shorts are very rare to see even just for casual wear.
My question was why is there so many to sell and sold on many sites yet there not seen anywere.

Good question
 

:confused: Impossible to find any street images for the men but plenty for the girls - so is it they who are making all the purchases?

Men in short shorts CAN be found - but it's all poolside, beach, sports events, or fashion runway locations.
(we must somehow get this question to Cristiano Ronaldo :) )

......................why why why..
 

The sites and sellers sites I have bene referring to are shorts for MEN, so no ,my tread concerns only men.
Yes we lots of women in short shorts on the streets but men only long shorts (CARGO AND OUTHERS) on th estreets.

When did men's shorts get longer?*

Thanks Byron. Ihave yet to find out why I HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE POSTING URLS, URLS AND SITE ID S ARE ALLWAYS IN LIGHT AND DARK BLACK LETTERS AND EVEN SOMETIMES IN DOUBLE, IM SEARCHING TO FIND OUT. SORRY FOR BEING OFF TOPIC HERE.

Louis, I wish my French was more fluent to guide you through the process of "copy and paste" If you have not done this before, perhaps you could google "copy and paste.

Using a translator, here is my attempt to post in French

Louis, je souhaite que mon Français ait été plus à l'aise pour vous guider par le processus de la «*copie et pour coller*» si vous n'avez pas fait ceci avant, peut-être vous pourriez copie et pâte de google la «*.

Utilisant un traducteur, voici ma tentative de signaler en français

links
 

Remember also that the internet is so full that links are getting longer and longer and so it takes little to cause confusion and so a disruption.

You are right to say that site IDs will often appear twice and you should follow the lower one - important to remember however that what you read may not be ALL of it - there is simply not enough room in the box (pic URLs will often go on forever and ever for example - the www has to break down
from main topic to sub topic to detailed topic to a set of images - and finally
the image itself).
To be sure, use the tiny black down arrow to reveal the true end of the line
(and with a magnifying glass if your text is as small as mine) - then just click the two little green curved arrows to restore.

linkz
 

Byron, for me, all it takes is a left click at the beginning of the URL and the complete URL is highlighted That will take in to the end of any URL. Then it is ready to copy and paste. I use a Mac and "command and C" clicked at the ame time will copy the highlighted URL. Go the where the URL is to be pasted and use a right click which should open a small screen that offers to option of "paste"

I'm hoping I have not lost the intent of the posts; but, hopefully, it will help someone.

Cheers

link procedure
 

Thanks for advice
(some guys get images on their posts without relaying a link - that looks good to me)

In sport:
 

Not sure whether this proves anything but here are football shorts 41 years apart:

Leeds vs Chelsea in soccer's 1970 FA Cup Final:

Leeds vs Castleford in rugby match of 2011:

shorts - please ignore
 

Sorry - links above don't work

The latest generation football shorts are designed to ride up and show much of the upper leg when making high kicks or fast sprints, yet fall back to just above the knee at rest.
The sports photographers are catching the moment when most leg is showing for the one picture that says action in a match. Seeing these pictures on a daily basis in the newspapers men are not ashamed of showing more leg and shorts are slowly getting shorter.
Young men in the UK seem to be wearing tighter trousers now, showing slim waists and legs. When the weather finally improves (it has rained for weeks despite the drought) they will wear shorts again and will not want to return to last years baggy shorts again. Things are changing, be patient.

Fosters advert with short tennis shorts
 

Those arbiters of good taste Brad and Dan from the Fosters Good Call advert series are seen here in short tennis shorts just for Louise.

LOL - s'excuser pour Louise !

Ooops edit expired!

Louise
 

;) Don't think he noticed.


Anyway Louis here is something au bord de La Seine.
It's certainly short shorts in public though he wouldn't
get far with skates on that Parisien gravel - and maybe
been a little too liberal with the scissors on those jeans ??
