What's with Older Dudes and Short Shorts? (legs, guys, look)

[CAVA1990]

When I'm cycling I often pass older guys wearing athletic shorts that end just below their butt cheeks (think 80s Dolphin shorts). Is this some kind of reaction against the longer shorts younger guys normally wear or have they just not bought anything new in the past 20 years? They look kind of ridiculous.

I'd think it is more likely they are wearing their 70s or 80s "John Stockton" shorts as "the older crowd" is unlikely to wear short shorts as a reaction to the current long shorts.

Are they runners? Marathn runners often wear shorter shorts.

I ask the same thing about the older guys at the gym wearing Speedos (briefs). They are very fit, but it still looks a bit....weird.

They're more comfortable than the long shorts.
and besides... with legs as nice as mine it's almost criminal to hide them.

I'm not sure what the deal is, but they look disgusting. Cover that $hit up.

That one's hilarious. Love the sports shirt and high tube socks. Does wearing one lower perhaps mean he hangs with some seniors' gang?

Sure you're not turned on by their sexy gluts and thighs?

I figure it's because that's what they wore in the '70s and early '80s. I really don't feel comfortable wearing shorts even an inch above my knees.
