Wow, I suprised at how many people won’t wear shorts because of they way they look. WTF? If it’s 90 degrees out and HOT, I’m wearing as few clothes as I can get away with. I don’t give a damn if I look like a white elephant in 'em, I wanna be comfortable.
Feh, I have hairy ass Italian legs and I wear shorts.
Of course it isn’t my problem, it is those around me who have to suffer. 
I never wear shorts, because I have really funny looking, stubby legs, which are always covered with razor burn. I have really dry, sensitive skin that’s never really become friends with my razor. Yuck. I hate my legs…
Nope, I don’t go swimming or visit water parks for the same reason. Going swimming introduces another problem as I also have a lot of back hair that I won’t expose in public. Lastly, I don’t swim too well.
Wow, I can’t believe all the non-shorts wearers here! All along I’d thought I was the only weirdo in America who didn’t like to wear shorts.
Even though I have a very positive body self-image, I have no dislike for my legs, hair and all, I have refused to wear shorts since I was about 6 years old.
The reason: They just look dumb.
I don’t wear short sleeves for the same reason. I wear long sleeves. Everything has to be long. On women, too, I feel that everything long looks better: long hair, long dresses, long sleeves. I grow my own hair long.
As for swimming? Hmm, I guess I would prefer nude swimming. I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy.
I LOVE shorts. Okay I know that’s not what the question was, but I just wanted to put in a good word for them. I also like skirts, too, and pants are nice in the winter. I do love showing off my legs, which is why I love the new short shorts I got at Express. And after one has to suffer through the pain of leg waxing, well…one wants to show them of at all costs. I mean, I wouldn’t wear them to the queen’s jubilee (well, maybe I would- if they were tight ass leather and showed off my piece!), but they’re cool.
If it’s hot, I’m in shorts. Mostly I’ll wear cut-offs, 'cause I don’t like the lengths the store bought ones come in. But if I’m going out, I’ll wear a short skirt or sundress. I can’t stand to have my legs covered when it’s hot & humid.
What I really hate to see, is overweight people NOT wearing shorts when it’s 90 degrees.
I can honestly think of one person I know who never wears shorts. He’s Mormon and of course can’t let his temple garment show. The only time I did see them was when we went camping. Curiously his wife wears them all the time because according to him her secret undies bunch up enough that they don’t show when wearing reasonably modest shorts.
As for me, my hams aren’t the most attractive in the sty but I wear shorts whenever possible.
I HATE shorts. I haven’t worn them since junior high. They seem to only look good on girls with perfectly smooth well-tanned legs. I don’t have ugly legs, but in public, I prefer my pants to almost touch the ground.
I have nice calves but I know what looks good on me, and shorts do not. I wear them at home only, when I’m cleaning the house or lounging. Never, ever in public.
I don’t wear jeans, either, because I can’t get them to fit me in the right places. I have big hips and every time I buy a pair I end up with this whole “ring of Saturn” thing going on around my waist. Screw it!
I’m a guy with hairy werewolf legs, and I still wear shorts. I pretty much only wear denim shorts with a belt, though, because I feel naked and vulnerable with lighter clothes. I’m fine wearing swimming trunks in a beach or pool setting, but I like to change back into something more substantial before going anywhere else. I’m almost perversely proud of my leg hair, so appearance is not at all an issue.
The only thing I like to wear on my feet are my big, black, steal-toed engineer boots.
I can’t wear shorts with them.
They feel best with my 501’s.
I never, ever wear shorts. I have naturally great calves, but my thighs are, uh, not so naturally great. It’s not that I care how they look, but I do care where there’s a tiny bit of fabric wedged in my crotch and I’m about to start a fire between my legs because of the friction. Also, they really don’t flatter my figure at all.
I do, however, own five knee-length skirts for summer. They are all straight shaped and end just at the middle of my knee, which emphasizes my curves and calves but hides my thighs. I wear them all summer long, to the beach, to the pool, and when going out. The best thing is that they make me look dressy yet casual, and I’m also remarkably comfortable. No fabric gets jammed into my naughty bits, which is a plus.
I wear shorts all the time (short ones too) - but then I like my lower legs. Also, I live in Australia, and I would die of heatstroke if I wore long pants all the time.
I also have a very active job (trampoline and gymnastics coach), so I need to be able to move freely.
All of my friends wear shorts too… but then we’re young (I’m 18).
I hate shorts soooo much. I guess I don’t really like my legs, but it is more that I just don’t like shorts in general.
I used to wear jeans, but I went to a private school that required khaki pants all the time, and I eventually lost all my jeans and now, even though I go to public school, I still only wear khakis.
It gets really hot, and I get hot easier than most people, but i still wear pants because I absolutely disdain shorts. I also hate the beach. I love the cold, and I love the rain.
I live in Southern California, and summer is hell.
But I don’t mind it really, I guess.
I wear them rarely. Usually when it’s very hot 95+. And then it is cut offs that are rather longish.
My reason? Simply that noone wants to see cottage cheese thighs. Funny, as my calves are cute as hell
I wear shorts at night, in the intermediate stage between having had a shower/bath but before going to bed. I don’t know why, I just do.
When I go anywhere though I don’t wear them - I look really silly wearing shorts. I’m not sure why, though I also have very hairy legs and it may have something to do with that.
A friend once remarked to me that she could use my dress as an indicator of whether it’s shorts weather outside. If I’m in pants, then it is truly too cold to wear shorts (or there are extenuating circumstances). I always wear shorts unless it’s ridiculously cold or I have to be dressed up for something. I like 'em, and I don’t particularly care what John Q Public thinks about my appearance. Plus, I have decent-looking legs (as far as I can tell, so maybe I’m way off). As for the socks problem, I solve that by wearing sandals.
I also won’t wear shorts. At the beach or pool, I wear any one of the millions of casual knit sundresses or above the knee skirts and t-shirts I own.
I just REALLY hate shorts. They are very constricting, don’t look good, are not as soft as skirts, etc.
I will throw on a pair of SO’s old shorts if I am painting, mowing the lawn, or washing the dogs.
Otherwise, no shorts.
I do own one black skort, but I’ve never even worn it, because for some reason I forgot, when I bought it, that I think skorts
are goofy!
I’m not a pants person either.
People think I must be ultra-prissy, but really, it’s just a comfort thing.
me? no.
I have nice legs now (im a girl) because i’ve worked hard to turn my chicken legs into nice shaply stems thru running but i still cannot wear short because i have spider viens. UGH! they are so damn ugly! cursed genes!:mad::mad:
