<p>and why is it considered “sexy” to show your legs but not your arms?</p>

2

<p>because we have better legs.
and you always show your arms. legs are hidden more often. and it dates back through history when legs were traditionally hidden.</p>

<p>Do you want to see hairy man legs everywhere you go?</p>

4

<p>I know I do.</p>

<p>short shorts are semi-uncomfortable for guys. i have to wear them for cross-country, and free ballin just doesn’t feel right so i just wear compression shorts.</p>

<p>because it’s sexy</p>

<p>Personally, as a guy, I’ve always been fond of women who wear dress pants or long skirts, and I’ve always had the opinion that women who wear short-shorts are somehow ditsy and promiscuous. Since, short-shorts usually go along with a pair of flip-flops and a really tight tank top.</p>

<p>Though, I have to admit, the more I’ve been seeing women in short-shorts these days, the more inclined I am to give them a second look.</p>

<p>Anyway, no one, man or woman, should be a slave to fashion trends or the media =)</p>

<p>LOL this thread is damn funny.</p>

<p>Women fashion is designed to be revealing and sexy in order to show off and draw attention from men. Girls wear tighter pants, tighter shirts, shorter sleaves, shorter shorts, etc.</p>

<p>The disparity on the issue might be because women are supposed to be attracting (or trying to attract) men to approach them.</p>

<p>my shorts have a nine inch inseam, which is sort of short compared to the shorts most boy swear.</p>
