They seem inferior in every way to half tights (or full tights if it is cold). Moreover, contrary to what you would expect, they also look more ridiculous than straight spandex in my opinion. If you hold a view to the contrary please share you reasoning.
Honestly I'd be all in on the half tights but don't feel fast enough to wear them. Also don't want to pay for them considering I have all the running shorts I need atm.

So this is the dumb question for Thursday?
I don't understand that either.

A certain part of my body bleeds from chafe every time I wear tights, it is not a part that any guy would want to bleed.
Super short running shorts look bad I agree but half tights and spanex are definitely the worst look a runner can take on. Personally, i don't like spandex. I don't like the way they feel and I don't like the fact that men in spandex look like such weiners. I'll stick with regular shorts in the summer and looser fitting pants in the winter
Men look ridiculous in half tights. Don’t care if they are superior from a utilitarian standpoint, they look downright ridiculous.
Did you not have leg hair or you shave it? I never understand how people run in loose fitting pants and still have any leg hair left, doesnt it chafe and pull the hair? I am legit curious. I only run in shorts or full tights in the winter.
shorts are much better in the heat than half tights. below 70/75 degr I prefer half tights.
Running shorts: Cool, detached, aloof, free-spirited, cat like.
Half tights: Hot, intense, serious
The preference says a lot about the person.
for me the cutoff is more like 55-60. half tights are pretty great at a relatively narrow temperature range.
Right.. because you look sooo cool in half tights with your dong just chilling there. Ok bud.
Why don't men bear bun huggers?
Most free range of movement, cooler, less restrictive, less weight
I've been running in bun huggers for years with great success

I personally don't find tights very comfortable. When it's 20, 30 degrees out every day though, I have no choice.
But how much do you really need to hold when you run? Outside of a watch on my wrist and a single door key that I tie around the string on my shorts, I can't think of anything else I need. Leave the phone at home and disconnect. It's hard at first, but really freeing.
I could be wrong but I think he's referring to his manhood not bouncing around.

So why are you wearing running shorts on your Strava picture?
Am I the only one in this thread who wears basketball shorts?
I'm not a serious runner anymore, just a jogger. I might as well look like one. All my running shorts wore out and I didn't want to buy more when I'm not a serious runner. So now it's boxer briefs with basketball shorts.
I am honestly more comfortable than I ever was in running shorts. The liners were just never supportive enough, and some of them chafed me randomly, so I was constantly dealing with that. Now I no longer chafe and my boxer briefs are more supportive. Plus I don't have to worry about having another article of clothing. I wear the same clothes to the gym, on a bike, while hiking, etc.
I wish I had always worn basketball shorts. In college, we used to mock runners who wore them, thinking it was some sort of modesty issue. But now I realize that was stupid, for some people, they're just more comfortable.
It’s going to be 82 degrees here today, last week it was n the 90s. Routinely 110 deg for many months so far this year. I sweat more than most and shorts are breathable and dry out with a slight breeze. Anything else is too hot and I start dripping, then my shoes get wet. Besides I have a small pecker and I don’t want the hot CA latinas to laugh when they pass me on their Electric bikes.
