Please God I never feel the need.

If the guy is doing something athletic, that is great.

If the guy is merely walking around in them wearing a "man bun" and sitting in Starbucks to make a fashion statement, that is not so great.

I have trouble with this however. I do not know which is worse, the big loose jeans that are falling down or the compression pants as a fashion statement. It is a dilemma of grave importance. As a woman I like to see butts but not nuts. Surely there is a happy medium men can find?

The link below is an album cover of one of the bands I grew up listening to. The fellow in the red tights was known to have an affinity for them. Are those "compression tights"?

The album is from the 70s.

My husband wears them to the gym all the time.

Under his shorts.

I love my compression tights. I certainly see the benefits of them. If a man wants to wear them--more power to him for taking care of his legs.

Men have been wearing spandex for a while now, specifically cyclists. Their padded shorts are mostly made of spandex.

I haven't seen this. Unless those tight spandex bicycle shorts qualify. Which is fine and practical.

Bicycle shorts is what attracted Heidi Klum to Seal. She said the first time she saw him, he was coming into a hotel she was staying in, and he was wearing those spandex bike shorts. She said she thought, "Wow! Who is THAT?" You can guess why.

Women notice these things.

I get it with winter running gear and cycling gear...no problems with that (and I have no problem with some of what you see lol).

Not sure about some of what guys wear to the gym who may be a bit too into themselves though.
