And should I be wearing a different type of shorts?

I refuse to wear the short shorts that you see bros wearing.

8/7/2011 5:27:28 PM

fuck people that like to carry things

8/7/2011 5:28:21 PM

Do people actually put stuff in the cargo pockets? Like you put your keys in there? That's funny to me.

8/7/2011 5:30:15 PM

I keep my wallet in there. (suddenly realizing how stupid that is)

8/7/2011 5:31:13 PM

it's more socially acceptable than my batman belt

8/7/2011 5:31:19 PM

Cargo shorts are for GDI's

8/7/2011 5:31:52 PM

I'll put an extra pack of smokes if I'm going out drinking


I don't wear them all the time. Also good when doing outdoor activities where you might need to carry stuff


I really don't care what some neckbeard thinks of my shorts though, so I don't think I need to elaborate any further on why they are still acceptable

8/7/2011 5:33:29 PM

I'm all for utility, but I've never really been in a situation where an extra pocket or two would be handy. I really get bugged having anything in my pockets. Also cargo shorts look fucking goofy.

Why don't people who wear shirts with pockets on them catch similar flak?

I only wear cargo jorts.

8/7/2011 5:48:44 PM

I wear em

Back before smartphones I'd keep my DS Lite in one cargo pocket, my MP3 player in another, and my digital camera and phone in each of my regular front pockets.

[Edited on August 7, 2011 at 5:54 PM. Reason : As for why I still wear them, well I don't want to buy new shorts ]

8/7/2011 5:50:48 PM

If I wore shorts I would wear cargo shorts, but I very rarely wear shorts. I do, however, love shirts with pockets on them and wear them at every opportunity.

8/7/2011 5:50:56 PM

Cargo shorts RULE! Fuck the haters.

I was never in a frat, but I fucking cannot stand shorts that hit at the knee or lower. I suppose I don't have as much bias against cargo shorts as I do long shorts.

8/7/2011 6:12:59 PM

nah I haven't been out in the sun much this summer

I'm still visible

8/7/2011 6:18:11 PM

cargo shorts are the only shorts worth wearing

8/7/2011 6:19:04 PM

those are red

8/7/2011 6:19:08 PM

i keep my phone in the bottom right, keys in my regular right pocket, wallet in the bottom left, and pen/cash/change in the regular left pocket.

i wear cargo shorts all the time, and i don't really care if nobody else likes them.

Exactly

Those shorts Ronny posted show way too much upper thigh. Sit down the wrong way and you're half an inch from nad-exposure. I'd wear jorts before those things.

8/7/2011 6:29:20 PM

I actually don't really care much about cargo shorts either way

I just hope none of you motherfuckers are wearing cargo jeans




(also I feel like we've had this exact same thread before)

there are only 3 types of shorts i wear, and cargo is the default...the gym/biking get mesh workout shorts, and swimming/beach get board/swimshorts

perhaps boxer briefs count as shorts?

[Edited on August 7, 2011 at 6:36 PM. Reason : my shorts almost always hit just above the knee because i hate long shorts, too]

8/7/2011 6:35:08 PM

That's a surprise

8/7/2011 6:41:25 PM

I often do wonder who has that much shit to carry

8/7/2011 8:52:37 PM

as long as you're not wearing jorts, then i think i can handle it

8/7/2011 9:00:19 PM

Eric wears these I don't think I have ever seen him wear a pair of shorts that weren't the cargo style... I used to say to him, "no one has gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'Nam" but he wore them so frequently it got old


Once I saw him carry his wallet and keys in normal pockets, then his camera, a shirt, a koozie I believe, and something else pretty random in the cargos.. and of course my stuff

8/7/2011 9:00:42 PM

does this mean camo shorts are by default shitty?

cause they're not

8/7/2011 9:02:01 PM

Damn you are some vain bitches.

8/7/2011 9:05:36 PM

those pink shorts are gay

8/7/2011 9:16:49 PM

I only wear cargo shorts/pants...

I have my car keys on one bunch, a largest set on another bunch, my wallet (which has lots of cards and stuff in it), my iPod, my phone, and my multitool, sometimes a wifi hotspot. I could actually cram this stuff in just 2 pockets, but then it's hard to get them out.

8/7/2011 9:26:36 PM

They're especially useful when traveling or touring abroad when you need extra pockets for maps, tickets, camera, poncho, wallet, passport, etc

or else you could go super tourist and have a big bookbag full everywhere you go.

This is not at all correct. Baggy shorts look like shit, and fortunately most people don't have legs that are perfect cylinders. If they start riding up the thigh too much then there is no longer a gap for this "nad exposure" that you're so terrified of. Shorter shorts are much more comfortable, and they look much better.


Also, they're not pink, they are red. The color is called "nantucket red" actually. Also, so what if they are pink? I wore a pair of dark pink pants last night that I receive compliments on every time I wear them. They're not Old Navy carpenter jeans with frayed bottoms (because I'm sure you all don't know how pants should break properly) so I doubt most of you would understand.

All of you haters must dress like high school students.

8/7/2011 9:31:50 PM

From one standpoint, I view cargo shorts as the new jorts.

From a more pragmatic standpoint, I never wear cargo shorts because it can hold too much stuff. When I'm out and about, I have my wallet, phone, and keys. I don't need any more things with me when I go places. 8 years ago when I still wore cargo shorts, I'd go somewhere with my then-gf/now-wife and she'd be like, hey can you hold my cell phone?

me: Sure
her: oh and my ID and cash?
me: um ok
her: oh, and do you have room for my keys as well?
me: ah.... i guess so.

So now i'm holding two people's stuff. But this, as most things tend to be with women, was a slippery slope. Before too long, she'd pretty much take her purse and empty it into my cargo pockets.

And that's the true story of why I threw out every single pair of cargo shorts that I owned in 2003.


The End.

I like my man to wear cargo shorts. More room for him to carry my stuff. If I don't want to carry a purse he can carry my ID, CC, phone, chapstick, anything!
