I am a creature of comfort and utility. I wear boots when its mucky out, and sandals if it isnt.

Whether I look good in them or not is irrelevant to me as I am married. I'm not out to impress anyone!

Considering that women wearing pants to work has only really become a recent standard, it's very difficult to compare men wearing shorts in the winter to women wearing skirts and dresses

Even when women do wear dresses and skirts in below zero temps, it’s because they’re on their way to a place where they want to look nice. Dudes who wear shorts in winter are not. They’re picking up the mail, loading up on mountain dew at 7-11, etc. It’s totally a guy thing.

I will only wear sandals if Im somewhere that my shoes need to come off (beach, pool).

Sandals are ridiculous footwear and the incessant fapping sound is annoying AF

Nonsense! Shoes are like prisons for your feet! I bet you're a huge fan of pants too!

Instead of simply focusing on shorts, can we talk about the shorts / hoodie combo? Like are you hot or are you cold, make up your mind...may as well wear swim trunks and a parka.

I've always wanted to be able to pull off shorts in the winter.

I look favourably upon those who do.

The money saved on shorts vs pants gets spent buying mix at Superstore Liquor Store for double what it would be at Superstore 150 meters across the parking lot. But since it's cold those guys just pay the money and buy it there. Really, they just drive to the nearby store and buy it all at the premium price.

Ouch. I am guilty of the long sleeves and shorts combo. My lower body stays warmer than the upper body.

Well, hoodies are awesome. As are shorts. I have a lot of thin hoodies so they are not overly warm so I wear those. But yeah, legs don't nearly as cold as the upper body does.

Gotcha. I wasn't trying to come off too judgy, just a rather contrasting look ha-ha. But as a skinny man with a shaved head and low blood pressure, I'm always cold this time of year, so the whole thing mystifies me.

I was just being facetious, but i actually do wear sweaters with shorts a lot in the summer; mostly at night.

My upper-body gets colder than legs for sure
