Should there be an upper age limit on wearing shorts?

Firetrap

Saw some scary lookin' specimens on Saturday and have been pondering this

Killer Wench

No.

But saying that, I don't believe all shorts or body types are created equally, so dress appropriately for your age and size.

Yes, 10 years old. Nobody over that age looks good in shorts.

the labia limit

lenght of shorts in direct proportion to flap elasticity

Just a size limit.

Don't sweat the small stuff. You get everything from seriously anorexic stick insects to morbidly obese Behemoths over here (metaphorically). All are happy to get into anything that keeps them cool. And that's the way it should be. Peace to Everysize

I disagree.

So anyone who plays soccer, rugby, GAA or whatever should not wear shorts?

Maybe you would hope that society would regress to the early 20th century where women wore huge dresses and carried around little umbrellas while watching the men play sport in shirts and long pants?

Women: depends on how hot you are, you have to apply for a shorts-wearing license before putting them on. The license is subject to an annual review

Naw. It may be hard to imagine since the preferred male dress in Dublin seems to be track suits, but a guy with nice looking calves can really pull off cargo shorts.

Nope, cargo shorts make men look like tools

To be fair there are a lot more fashion crimes being committed around the place than people wearing shorts.

What about sandals? I think this is the bigger issue here! :mad:

I think people over a certain weight should seriously consider wearing shorts in public, I always wear shorts, but I have beautiful legs so its all good

up for anything

Anti-shortsism is an Irish thing. When we came home from London my ex, a brickie, was used to wearing shorts on the building sites over there and faced a huge amount of slagging for doing it here. The Irish guys preferred to work in sweltering heat (what passes for it here ) wearing jeans and the like rather than being more comfortable in shorts.

To be fair they're young very well built blokes and that's grand. Problem is cargo pants are more often worn by 30+ year old blokes with shaved heads(from baldness not choice) and very soft around the middle. Usually stumpy with short legs. Really not a good look. The male equivalent of a muffin top.

I think there should be a body weight based limit on shorts tightness. I saw a group of girls walking through town during the Irish summer (ie last friday) two of whom were wearing shorts sufficiently tight to give you a very good indication of position of the undulations on the wall of their inner anus not to mention every other contour on their cellulite ridden hides.

And then you ran home for a ****???

Uuuugh:eek:

Was in the Nutgrove SC last friday and spied two cougars,as they say 'carrying

a lot of lumber' with fawn khaki shorts on them.

How the fcuking seams took the strain is beyond me, bet into their arse cracks

like fcuking cheese wire.

Now they were presentable in fairness, but shorts were not for them, thighs like

buffalo hocks and their flaps must have been mashed like pressed ham.

Shudder to think of them taking them off and preparing for a 'Moon landing'



:eek:

I can deal with sandals. I mean, I don't have to look down at someone's feet if I don't have to.

But, this whole leggins/tights trend is seriously not for everyone. Or, if you must wear them, wear them under a dress or a shirt that goes past your stomach. Especially if said stomach falls lower than your female bits.

That would be me.

I start wearing shorts around April/May time and don't wear anything else until at least the end if September.

You're right, you shouldn't apologise.

You should beg forgiveness.:)

Describe things.

I think people should wear whatever the fuck they feel like.

I don't know when it happened, but somewhere along the line half the population of the world has seemingly turned into a bunch of image obsessed Gok Wans.
