 434  |  Subject: my wife hates speedosI only do my swim training in "speedos" (mostly laps at an indoor military pool nearby). My wife doesn't like them, but I just don't like the feel of wet trunks, and a pair of jammers were only a little better and wore out too quick. Briefs are cheap online, and last almost six months. I wear trisuit for events, so I'm not doing tri's in them, and most of my events have been wetsuit swims, anyway. I'm not overweight (6'2", 170). I do like to catch some backyard sun on occasion- but not if my wife is around, she gives me grief about it! Maybe I'm just a closet Aussie or euro. Anybody else want to chime in?! |

Expert 1128 Fort Riley, Kansas | Subject: RE: my wife hates speedos That's just plain funny. But seriously, I think all women have little apparel quirks. Me, I absolutely hate it, and can't stand it when I see men wearing flips flops, I think its an instant way to ruin a good outfit, and just looks hideous. When I see a man wearing flip flops the first thing I want to do after cringing is go up to them and stomp on their twinkle toes. |

Extreme Veteran 463 Mayberry | Subject: RE: my wife hates speedos I'm a fat man, and was a lifeguard through college. that's when I decided fat people shouldn't wear speedos. still follow that rule--although I'm intrigued by jammers. I train in regular swim trunks then feel like lightning in the tri shorts on race day |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: my wife hates speedos I love Speedo. The brand, the brief, everything. I highly doubt that would change if I were married. Actually, it just sounds like your wife is making fun of you, not that she genuinely hates them. |

I think my boyfriend has nice feet and I've been trying to get him to buy a nice pair of leather flip-flops for years. Proof indeed that we all have fashion quirks. (For the record, my favorite look is the square-cut jammers.) |

Ditto, and I get a kick out of telling people I swim in a Speedo. Well, technically it's a Speedo, just not what they're thinking. |
