I mean, I know it is good advice...but that seems like a weird thing to tell another guy, lol

It's not going to come off well coming from a guy that wears flat brimmed caps with his ears tucked in. Let it go. It's none of your business.
sometimes you just need to choose your battles wisely. If they are short shorts over tights, something needs to be said. If they are knee length shorts over tights, let it go.
If a guy is wearing tights, he's got bigger issues.
Background:
This is a running buddy (I don't know him outside of running, tho) that we as a group are breaking of cotton shorts and crew length cotton socks. He said he was "good" for our long run tomorrow in the cold because he has some "nice" sweat pants :-)
I am not trying to BREAK him from wearing shorts over his tights... he actually just got his first pair of tights... but he looked shocked when I told him that they were meant to be worn on the outside, lol
So, not just a random dude, but a semi-regular running buddy... just trying to show him the bliss that is moisture-wicking material.
Men don't say things to other men about their clothes nor appearance. You might come off like a girl. Girls frequently comment on what they wear. Guys don't. Don't violate this rule.

Agreed.
But, guys talk about GEAR all the time, right?

you obviously aren't a runner (or a good one at that).....tights are amazing to wear guy or girl for warmth but still be able to run fast
Sounds like you know him well enough, so you really can just say it to him. Sounds like he doesn't know and advice on running cloths, shoes etc is different than fashion advice. One guy can give another guy practical information. Just not to a stranger.
Tell him he should wear knee high compression socks instead.
Some guys don't want to freeze their junk or show it off like Nureyev.
Shorts over tights are a practical thing, not a fashion statement.
Stop being a homo.

You obviously are an idiot. Do you seriously think I come here because I'm NOT a runner? What's the attraction then...conversing with men wearing tights? Yeah, right!

Are you from an alien planet or something?
On this planet one of the top ways men bond is by giving eachother a hard time and making fun of the dumb things they do. My recommendation would be to find a funny (and good natured) way to make fun of him when/if he tries to wear the shorts over the tights.
Describe in great detail the exposed, sensual feeling he can experience when running in tights only.
The thread title is a contradiction since dudes don't wear tights.
