Why do American men not wear speedos? (cut, legs, women)

If he would have said something to her like "those pants make you look fat" I don't think she would have considered it an acceptable comment.

I personally think either comment would be really rude.

And don't for a minute try to tell me that men don't critique women in bathing suits. I didn't say that it's OK for women to walk up to a man in a Speedo and say "You look silly in that thing" any more than a man should walk up to a woman in a bikini and say, "You look fat in that."

But I think that both men and women alike probably comment to their friends, in private, about swim attire! And that's OK.

So true. Speedos on a sexy European with washboard abs = hot.

Speedos on a flabby American man with a muffin top, love handles, and potbelly overhanging the Speedos = eeew.

Okay, lets flip this around and see what happens.

Bikini on a flabby American woman with a muffin top, love handles, and potbelly overhanging the bikini = eeew.

Yes, but you know this thread isn't about women, it's about men and Speedos So bring on the male critiques!

It's because most American guys in speedos look like this:

But that's not what I'm referring to. BEHOLD the amazing power of a truly hot man in a speedo:

I'm still trying to understand how guys can wear tight underwear and speedos. I have a hard time getting used to my ******* stuck on me.

Why?

Because American women demand that they want a "real man".
