Re: Poll for Ladies Only

Tighty-whities are so "old man".

They remind me of some bald old man sitting on the couch with his underware on, with a beer in one hand and a remote in the other, and a big-fat-never-seen-the-sun belly hanging out over the waistband. Yech!

Margaret, who is lucky enough to have only ever dated one tighty-whitie man, and who converted him

I like men's legs. Boxers cover too much thigh. I like the thigh. Boxer briefs are good.

And that's the way MY generation saw guys in boxers.

Re: Poll for Ladies Only

Yeah, the boxers/briefs thing is cyclical.

When I was a kid, the colored tighty-whities were all the rage, and a little bit of the boxer-breif thing too.

Then the big pants thing came into style. And the designer boxers hanging out.

Now, I'm no longer a fan of that style, but, that's what got all of the young people wearing boxers, while all of the people older than that kept their tighty-whities.

So, most guys from about 30 or younger (today... not when that fashion came around) wear boxers, and guys over 30 wear briefs... until you get to the 70 year and up crowd... they were boxers.

Hubby's tight buns are lost in boxers, but those briefs hug every curve...

Re: Poll for Ladies Only

I like boxers. Tightie-whities are so little boys and old men. Besides, they just don't feel as nice as cotton or silk boxers do.

Re: Poll for Ladies Only

I appreciate the fashion lesson, but some of us go by what's comfortable. Briefs are not roomy enough and boxers don't provide any support. Some of us appreciate some support.

Yeah, I converted a man to boxers once, too. It was a big improvement. BTW, I think men oughtta be able to vote in this pole. Women are not the only ones attracted to men!

Hubby wears boxer-briefs. Those work for me. They show off his man butt nicely

I like those best too. Better than boxers, but without the ick factor of tighty whiteys. :butthead

Re: Poll for Ladies Only

Boxers are good... especially when the guy goes out to get the paper in them and they accidentally get locked out. They don't look quite as perverted then...

My hubby wears boxers -- all of them with weird and funny stuff on them. I don't think he owns a normal-looking pair of drawers.

Re: Poll for Ladies Only

Heh... that was just a generalization. My husband wouldn't DARE go out into the yard in his drawers. He knows me too well... LOL

I have seen it happen to people though...

As a matter of fact, it happened to my ex-hubby. He "accidentally" got locked out once. I made him sit out there for an hour before I "woke up" to let him back in...

I'm so evil. But he deserved it. But then, that's a whole other can o' worms...
