How come some people think it's not manly to wear shorts? Whenever I wear shorts my dad makes a face and says I should put pants on. What do you guys do about this?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
So how come you decided to wear shorts now? Can you wear them with normal shoes or do you have to wear sandals now? My mum made me get them. She's like "you're not going another summer without them". I made sure I got some that looked okay with my shoes. I never wear sandals.[QUOTE="xTheExploited"]Yes. I only own two pairs of shorts, one of which I bought the other day.Treesmash
Of course I've worn shorts. I've worn them anytime it's warm. My legs are hairy and full of scars from playing soccer and other sports. I don't care. If it's hot, I'm wearing shorts. Back in Arizona, I always wore shorts, even to church.

I'm a Catholic first of all. So's my wife. She'd drag me to church every Sunday even if it meant I wore shorts or dozed off during the Readings. During this World Cup (and later NFL season) I've always given her problems when it came to church. I'm not the very devote kind.

I think even the priests tend to doze off during the readings :P

Do you live at a particular place in the world where shorts are frowned upon?

At least they don't mind the attire of the congregation. Some of the women seem to use church as an excuse to wear their shortest and tightest dress. Not that I mind. But shorts is a must when it's +110F outside.

Readings only last like...10 Minutes :P Are you talking about the Homily?[QUOTE="jun_aka_pekto"][QUOTE="Treesmash"] ▲ You're like me then. My dad would probably beat me if he saw me wearing shorts. ▲Treesmash

Same here, I'm slightly afraid to because I shave my legs and I really want to draw attention to that. xDI almost never wear shorts. Even in the Summer.

The latter tended to be the most boring because the priest added all kinds of announcements near the end.Readings only last like...10 Minutes :P Are you talking about the Homily?

Oh, In my Church they wait until the Mass is over for the Announcements. It's hard sometimes staying interested in the Homily if it gets too long. They should generally last around 15-30 minutes, longer than that is kind of excessive. During the Homily they're supposed to discuss the readings as it pertains to our daily lives, so I try and listen the best I can :)[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="jun_aka_pekto"]

I agree that the announcements are boring. Does your Church have a Latin Mass? I highly recommend it if you're bored during the Normal mass.
Just to add to what I've already said, the shorts I wear most of the time extended down almost to my knees. It's not like they're skimpy and bulging around my junk. They're pretty loose-fitting. Otherwise, I wear gym/soccer shorts.

30 minutes for Homily? That's a long time even for the wife. Some priests have the announcements early in the Mass while others have it late. My Spanish is pretty poor. I'd be bored to death in a Latin Mass unless I heard GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Now that would brighten my day in a hurry. :lol:
I recall an Italian priest do a Latin Mass during Mass abroad. I had no idea what he was saying. But, I knew enough to follow along.

Wait, You're going to a Spanish Mass? The Latin Mass you can get Books to explain what and why the priest is doing what he's doing. So it's easier to understand the MAss and what's going on.There's nothing wrong with shorts. I don't know how some of you can cope wearing jeans in summer, especially when some of you must be from the US where it's significantly hotter.
I don't own pants, only shorts and I wear them year round cause I dont get cold. Half the time in the summer I dont even wear shorts. :oops: The glory of being a part time worker, full time gamer.
I wear jeans as long as the temperature is standable. I wear shorts when it gets really hot. As far as them being unmanly, I don't really see why, unless they're like 9" above your knees.:?
