Bunhuggers

personally i think it adds to the womens 1500 and 5k.

Ok, if they work so well for gals, why don't guys wear them (tri-guys don't count)?

My theory is that spankies were invented by guys that wanted more to gaze at during track meets...

I think spankies are okay; they are indeed very functional, but I don't think normal running shorts are any less functional. They're basically spankies with a little tiny bit of extra, hitech material added for some privacy, right?

And guys, I must say the thought of having a mens XC race with all the men in spankies is a FRIGHTENING one...

Wear shorts, not spankies.

I agree one hundred percent, and it does increase interest in the sport. I hung around at a meet on saturday for an hour after i cooled down just to see some hot chick run in spankies in the DMR. Totally worth it. SPANKIES ROCK. Plus my high school was the first team to have girls wear spankies and they won state. The next year some other team got em and they won. So they are fast too.

"spankies" cause most girls to be extremely self-concious about their butt and thighs which can lead to eating disorders. i have always run in shorts so i guess i can't really say, but i don't know how a girl can focus on a race in those. i would constantly be making sure my butt wasn't hanging out. and there is no way that they make you faster, that's ridiculous!

Just goes to show how dumb most chics really are. How you think you look in a running garment results in you to starving yourself to death?

Very smart indeed girls.

I like spankies.

Here's why I love bunhuggers...

I think they should be crotchless for further degradation.

c'mon you don't like seeing heavier girls in bunhuggers. seagate proved my point, he picked out the thinnnest girl in the whole race to use as an example. obviously girls are more sensitive than guys and we realize that the supposedly "hot" girls that you guys talk about are all extremely thin.

Yeah, and no one should have matches because some people use them to smoke cigarettes. Wear what you want, I luv shorts, but women with real eating disorders (who are still, thankfully, a small minority) aren't going to let a little thing like full cut shorts "cure" them.

I think the male equivalent of bunhuggers would be those running kilts. What ever happened to those, anyway?

Actually, Seagate picked a recent picture to prove his point.. I don't think he factored in body fat %.

so let the hot girls wear the bunhuggers and the heavier ones wear shorts (or get off the team if they don't add any value to it).

whatever the case, thanks to xcqueen for supporting the bunhuggers and starting another thread on this great topic. I'm having nice thoughts right about now.

I have to admit that I am a fan. If a girl looks good in bunhuggers, she is going to look good in anything. Girls who run are some of the only women who can pull it off. And based on what I have heard from women who don't run, they are jealous of your ability to pull it off.

It's the same thing with swim suits. A cute girl is going to look a lot better in a bikini than a pair of board shorts.

You don't want to see a dude wearing that type of thing. It's just disgusting.

There is nothing disgusting about a man wearing "bunhuggers" or "speedos". I find that it's disgusting that so many people don't see the natural beauty of the human body. Quite honestly, I look damn good in speedos.

well I dont know about you guys but i'll have a little difficulty fitting that part of my anatomy into bun huggers. I think that the transition between shorts and a speedsuit for male sprinters is also applicable though. I just think it looks more professional and it really helps me physcologially.

I ran a marathon last year in a pack with a couple of chunky Russian "dames". One of them was having some ride up issues with her spankies, and I can assure you guys being behind her and seeing her big hairy steroidal ass for 26 miles was no fun at all.

good, run faster :) you wont have to see it

i just don't see the althetic advantage of them. as proved by your statements, men, and women, take the focus off running and onto looks whenever there is a mention of bunhuggers. i just don't think it gives a girl any advantage, but can only do harm by making her self-concious.

P.S. i know you probably think i'm some fat girl trying to stand up for all the other big runners, but i'm not huge. i weigh 111 and yeah i could lose a few but all i'm trying to say is that it's not only the stalky runners who feel like cows in bunhuggers. bottom line: bunhuggers are only flattering on insanely thin people!
