If more women found guys in Speedos attractive, you'd see more guys wearing them in this country. Even if it's a "good" looking guy wearing one here, they are the subject of ridicule. I saw that a few times when I lived in FL. It's just not an accepted style here.
So the question is, why do women find guys in speedos not attractive only in the US? Certainly women in Asia, Europe, South America, etc. do not think that way.

Because in the USA sissies are not considered appealing to women.

They don't want to be accused of smuggling light bulbs.

Aw, come on! It's so much more fun to GUESS what could be lurking in the baggy folds of swim trucks!

Too many overweight guys in the US.

Exactly! Women don't think speedos are unattractive. American women love speedos, on the right guys. Not on the paunchy, blobby guys.

I'll bet a Ben Franklin if you polled a statistically-valid sampling of 100 American women, say age 18-50, and asked them if they "liked" the visual of an average man in speedos....then did the same with 100 American men, similar demographic, if they "liked" a well-endowed woman in a bikini...

...You'd have vastly more "nays" among the women vs. men.

It's simply effete and in generally poor taste unless you're a competing athlete. I find it a reasonable bet Europeans have a somewhat-different take on aesthetics, based on their cars, entertainment, and so much else. More love of elegance and shall we say, sleekness (if that is a word).
