Stop dressing like a runner. Just because you run a lot of miles doesnt mean you have to adopt the running style. I love winning races in a pair pair b-ball shorts. It pisses off all of the "real" runners.

Congratulations. Really sticking it to the man.
because non-runners are fat, and jealous of the runner body.
bc you look like a fool.
Haha I don't give a F*** if i get made fun of for wearing just running tights. First: they're way more comfortable and efficient to run in than heavy running pants or sweatpants. Second: winter "Runner" clothes are usually way warmer and Third: running tights give the girls something to look at too!!
In New York, no comments.
Outside, sometimes, yeah. But most of them are fat. Running shorts are comfortable, so I don't care. I'll take a pair of running shorts over basketball shorts any day.
First of all, of course you should wear whatever you want to wear. However, don't do it under the impression that you "give the girls something to look at too". I'm thankful my husband doesn't wear tights or short shorts. I love him, but would be totally turned off if he wore either. About the only guys I think look good in tights are some of the sprinters.

How do you take your coffee?
All the guy needs to do is wear tights with a pair of shorts over them. You get the benefit of the tights without the weird thigh/pelvis tightness. Win/win.
I don't know how runners of olden days could do all the mileage they did in cotton. Cotton rarely bothered me when I was doing less than 40 mpw. Now, I can't imagine wearing cotton. It's not worth the chafing risk.

How old are you, broad? Is your husband a hobby-jogger who spends more time in the gym (15% lifting, 85% standing around) than running? Ya I bet he looks terrible in tights and I bet it makes you vomit to see that overweight greasy body snore next to you every night. A tight bodied, defined 20yr old D1 NCAA male xc athlete on the otherhand, such as myself, looks great in tights.

Only to you, Ralphy, only to you.
Who gives a shit what people think? I just run. That seems like the easiest response other than showing the finger, plus you get the added benefit of some training out of it.
68% of Americans are overweight, and 30-some % are obese. That is why they don't like to see us wearing short shorts.
I doubt it is jealousy. I bet it is because looking at a pasty 100lb nerd wearing daisy dukes is just gross. Runners have the worst style.

Right, because everybody who has a problem with short shorts is so "fashionable" themselves. That's why they don't like it, because they are upset at your lack of style.
Why is this even a discussion? People make fun of it because people are stupid. It's the same reason people make fun of people with a different skin color, or people who were born ugly, or with something that makes them look odd, or people who are gay, or... People love to judge, even if it's not for any real reason at all.

He just completed running a marathon last month and takes running semi-seriously, while maintaining a 50-60 hour work schedule. He is 6'1", 165 lbs. - hardly obese. Didn't say he would look terrible in running tights - he is fit, but because he is a long distance runner doesn't have that nice muscular sprinter body. I just personally find male distance runners wearing tights/short shorts a turnoff. Perhaps you think you look good in tights - good for you. Maybe there are women who would agree, I'm just not one of them. That is why it is called an opinion.

Now you are posting under different names in an attempt to make yourself look like you have support? You are a loser who walks around in tights.
You're a man in tights.
