I think they would be safer to start with culottes, then try capris, then work their way up to tights.

Eh, it's just youth culture. Nothing to get worked up over as long as you aren't 40 years old and trying to be a part of it.

Andrew: You'd never miss it. You don't have any goals.

Bender: Oh, but I do. I want to be just like you. I figure all I'd need is a lobotomy and some tights!

Brian: You wear tights?

Andrew: No, I do not wear tights. I wear the required uniform.

Brian: Tights.

Andrew: Shut up!

They wore stockings during the Colonial period, which are almost as bad as tights IMHO. Frankly, though, unless men start shaving their legs, tights are going to look absolutely ridiculous on them. There's something just gross about hair smashed up against the skin.

I'm gay and against this. Most men don't have the legs to pull this off.

If everyone looked like Brad Pitt or Jake Gyllenhall, perhaps I'd be more agreeable.

I've worn long underwear when I go skiing, but I don't think that counts.

I've worn tights, but only during performances. And it was a matching outfit with my partner (she was wearing more revealing clothing than I was, so I think it's acceptable).

I've worn speedos, but only during diving practice and competition.

But I have never worn makeup, and never will.

Guys in tights is only unattractive if they dont have nice defined legs.

You know, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to convince myself I should be into all that SCA stuff -- as a good part of it is certainly within my interest level.

But every time I meet up with a group of SCA people, I'm awed at how completely overboard the lot of them are.

If you were wearing them as an insulating layer under your pants for cold-weather outdoor activity, then sure. Less bulky than Stansfields, probably more comfy.

Anything else: Yer a homo!

I cant help but laugh when I see guys in speedos. I dont know what it is exactly but I always laugh. I think tights are better than speedos.

I prefer guys in jeans and t-shirts - as long as they're cool with the fact that I prefer to wear jeans and t-shirts, too. I'm not interested in high-maintenance metrosexual guys.

Good god people...

please, for the love of god and goddess, please, please stop trying to merge the sexes with shiat like 'manscara' or 'guyliner' or 'male polish' and now tights. Stop it. Please. We're men, we were pants or kilts (and only without underwear so that we can fark our women the moment they bend over or open their mouths to yawn), if our faces are painted, it's with war paint or the blood of our slain enemies, never for a night out on the town.

And for those of you 'men' who are buying this shiat, please, pick up a box of tampons and turn in your testicles.

I think we settled on 'shnick' a while back. I might have spelled that wrong.

It's all relative. I remember being embarrassed and self-conscious the first time I wore one (freshman in high school are self-conscious enough as it is), but after 8 years of everyone around me not caring because they're all wearing the same thing, you just stop noticing.

Speedos don't really do anything to your body, it's just being naked without being naked. So if you look good naked, you'll look good in a speedo. That's about the extent of it. Tights can shape legs, highlight lines, and in general make you look better by replacing skin (with all those imperfections that guys, myself included, have) with smooth, sculpted muscle definition. So tights can be really flattering on certain guys (see: ballet, circus).

I should point out that all of the examples I used have real, legitimate reasons for wearing tights and speedos. So if you're just wearing them out on the street, you're still an idiot.
