    subject:	guys shorts

    I'm an unmarried male.  My girlfriend and I have been having a
    discussion recently and I thought I'd get the opinions of you women. 

    Which undergarments do you prefer on your man?  Why? 

		- None
		- "skimpy briefs"
		- standard briefs
		- boxer shorts

859.1Comfort before "looks"STRSHP::SULLIVANKaren - 225-4096Fri May 27 1988 18:493
	I really don't care.   I'd say wear what's comfortable.
	When you get to a point where someone will see them, they
	probably won't be on much longer anyways :-).
859.2unless you're lookingBLURB::RANDALLBonnie Randall SchutzmanTue May 31 1988 10:296
    I adore skimpy briefs on men.  (I clip and save Jim Palmer's ads).
    
    But that's only for, er, special occasions.  For every day I expect
    a man to wear what is comfortable.

    My vote would be for comfort also...tho I would vote for *something*
    I have twice been embarassed by men who chose the nothing route
    and were not careful when wearing shorts.

    I knew I shouldn't have put that in...sigh...the situation was
    such that the condition was very difficult to miss.

859.6CUBFAN::STHILAIREBest before Oct. 3, 1999Tue May 31 1988 12:318
    I prefer standard or "skimpy" briefs, whichever the male finds most
    comfortable.  Boxer shorts look really geeky, and might indicate
    that the guy is "out of it" (a real loser) ha-ha.  No underwear
    indicates that he might be too carefree and irresponsible, or else
    is trying to make an effort to appear sexy.  :-).

859.7Be comfy!!SACMAN::WALTONTue May 31 1988 12:3414
    For some unknown reason, I have always been particular to plain
    white breifs.  Just the thought of it and my mind starts to wander!!!
    
    In any case, whatever is comfortable to you  is appropriate.

    P.S.  To Bonnie...
    
    My husband choses not to wear shorts (he is a product of the tropical
    rain forests of the Phillipines) and I am forever in terror that
    one day he will embarrass me in the same manner you are refering
    to!!!!!

    	re .6  Lorna, you wouldn't say that to Sugar Ray :-)

    			I prefer nothing at all.
859.10I Wish...HENRYY::HASLAM_BAWed Jun 01 1988 18:365
    If I had a choice, I'd prefer skimpy briefs; however, my husband
    will definitely NOT wear the aformentioned item, so it's only wishful
    thinking on my part.

859.12the velcro flyCADSE::FRANKMy other node is PORSCHEFri Jun 17 1988 15:247
    I like the ones that have velcro closures on the side.  
    One good tug and he's wearing nothing!
    
    But you can't wear those everyday.......

859.13on the practical side..RUNTUF::SZKLARZFri Jun 17 1988 16:0815
    
    Well since I happen to like to wear practical and comfortable 
    undergarments - no garter belts and merry widow's for this lady
    on a regular basis - I'd think that men also would opt for comfort.  
    
    I don't find the standard BVD's offensive.  And for those lounge 
    around mornings on the porch over looking the ocean, I think boxers 
    are quite appropriate (OK, so I've looked at the cover of the Victoria's 
    Secret catalog too many times ;^).   But when I'm in a playful mood
    I like to see something a bit more enticing, like bikini style
    briefs, or brightly colored silk ones and I too like the magic of
    velcro.  And then there's a great pair of leopard print briefs
    that I'm still waiting to see modeled.  ;^)
