New Jersey, USA speedos?

[Dooley67]

TonyO919 and VTspeedo,

STS and Byron have given you some good advice. I'll put my 2 cents in. When you go to the beach, everyone looks at everyone else, but usually any judgment a person makes is a silent one and not voiced. It takes courage to be the only one on the beach in a speedo, but look at it this way, it's your personal choice to wear a speedo and truly, nobody really cares what you wear - they make look once and then it's done.

VTspeedo - you can go to the beaches STS suggested or if you want to go further south, the beaches in northern Massachusetts, like Newburyport or Crain beach in Ipswich are good places.

TonyO919 - Jones Beach on Long Island or Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn are good places as well. And good for you that you've already lost 10 pounds. I know exactly how you feel about looking good in a speedo and losing weight to do it. Take a look at my true story (How I Met My Serious Swimming) and you'll see how losing weight played a role in my resuming wearing speedos after a year in dorky board shorts.

Best of luck to both of you. You'll feel good that you took the plunge.
