1. Males shouldn't wear speedos after 6, let alone 60.

35. The sandals really complete the look
Though I'm surprised they aren't red, white, and blue, too.

Hey, if you make it to 60, then you are allowed.

17. Yep, that's the kicker.
You gotta be in shape to pull of a Speedo. Most old guys aren't, so most old guys shouldn't wear them. If the old guy is, more power to him.

20. I like Speedos.
Context: During the formative teen years of the '60s, we swam nude. Woodstock, and all that.

When forced to put on clothing again in public places, cut-off denims were our suits. They were the worst imaginable thing to swim in when wet, as they weigh a ton.

When I went to college, I found a pair of Speedos in the lost and found at the brand new university pool, as they wouldn't allow cut-offs.

These were made out of tricot, which is light as a feather and dries almost instantly. The best suit I ever had.

My goal is to be in good-enough shape at 60 to be able to wear a Speedo.

Of course, I don't understand why anyone needs to wear anything while at the beach or swimming.

21. never for casual wear. But for lap swimming, or triathlons, or competitve swimming...
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 08:25 PM by triguy46
and if you have the bod, why not? If you are just an over weight, out of shape guy, forget it. 10 years ago at age 47, with dozens of triathlons completed, 6'0" 160 lbs, why not? On the other hand, it is being essentially naked. Kind of odd racing in public in so little clothing. Now there are one piece deals that look just as bad on an overweight out of shape bod.

22. My dad's done it all his life. He's 66 now...but to his credit he's in good shape.
Edited on Wed Mar-31-10 08:13 AM by Tommy_Carcetti
Swims 6 days a week, eats healthy, etc. Whenever someone makes a comment about it, I just lie and tell them that he was on the '72 Olympic swim team or some BS like that. It usually shuts them right up.

I do credit my dad in giving me something of a tolerance for Speedos, to the point where I'm not utterly repulsed by the mere sight of them. Still, when someone who isn't in good shape tries to pull it off, that just ain't right.

I tried the Speedo once in my life, and I felt incredibly naked in it. So never again for me.

But if your healthy and don't have fat rolls all over the place, I don't really care.

25. uh, Europe only and in good shape
even then they make me feel squicky

on the other hand I don't really care for the HUGH! baggy short/skirt/skort look on guys either.

Hard to swim with all that fabric almost to your ankles.

27. Not before. Not after. Not never.
Unless you're an Olympic swimmer, and even then it's TMI for me personally.

32. I have a simple rule:
When women are allowed in public shirtless, then I will appear in public without a shirt.

i do not swim. I do not attend beaches. I have no need to walk about mostly naked, so in support of my fellow Americans of the female persuasion, I won't be topless in public.

Of course, this very small protest isn't bothering a living soul. No one wants to see my chest anyway!
