There's a guy in my office from Spain....had an office pool party and he is the only guy in butt floss. What gives? All the rest of us are wearing normal swim trunks. It's not like this guy is built like a linebacker or anything. He had the whole "love-handles" thing happening. Our female co-workers were commenting on the lack of taste displayed by this fellow. I'm not one to judge or anything but, jeez, shouldn't we all know our limitations?

Any takers on the question of why they do it?

Grape smuggling is alive and well in Europe.

Somewhere in an office in Paris, a girly-man is asking, "why do Americans wear boxers when swimming?"

Why can't the rest of the world be like America?

Why can't the rest of America be like Europe?

but only for the girls going topless, not for buttfloss for guys.

Hey now...I think you will find that it is Italians, Ze Germans, Frogs, & Spanish.

We try to avoid wearing Speedos.



'It's been......emotional'.

I just have never understood the mentality of americans when it comes to this subject.

I mean when I go to the beach, I am going to get a tan and swim in the ocean. I don't want to be wearing shorts that go to my knees.
Besides that, what is the big deal??? I mean if I am at the beach and everybody is wearing sppedos (guys) the last thing that I am going to be looking at or staring at is that area of the body!!
That, and I feel pretty secure about my manhood.(in regards to the gay comments)

Besides, there is always 2 sides to every issue. Just like americans make fun of europeans for wearing "speedo" like swim suites............the rest of the world laughs at the small mind mentality that it is shown on this subject by every and all amercians.

Having said that..........when in Rome, do as the romans do!!

because apperently the Europeans haven't learned a thing about taste.

A large man wearing a speedo is no different than a fat woman wearing a size 3 spandex tights. Both end up looking like beached whales, a ghastly sight indeed. I wouldn't want to hear, "There she blows," every time I went to the beach do you?

Please don't be amazed at Americans hangup about the decency of covering up or I'll have to talk about the European issues of taking showers more than once a month.

Well, then why didn't the dude wear a suit like everybody else than? It's not like he was in Rome anymore.
