How acceptable is it for a middle aged man to do things outdoors or go on small errands wearing boxer shorts and flip flops? (Plus a shirt, though it might be a tank.)
I’m talking about things like going out to get the mail, mowing the grass or working on a car in the driveway. Barbecuing. Maybe doing a short errand like driving to KFC or the hardware store. |
Zero percent acceptable. |
I don't think it's acceptable at all. |
Hard no. |
Absolutely never acceptable. That’s wild. |
not acceptable- wtf- they have a flap! he could flash someone. Do you go outside in your underwear? the mailbox/end of driveway for newspaper and even then to my mind- wear a robe, do you have to advertise that your ancestors came over in steerage? |
Do you mean wearing underwear? Then no, not acceptable.
Or are you saying casual shorts? Then it’s fine. |
Man here. The ohter guys are teh hardware store won't care a lick about it. |
Just boxers, nothing underneath? Um, no, just no. |
How do you know they are boxers? |
Exactly. This is the argument—they’re just shorts. They cover as much as most casual shorts with a shorter-side inseam. |
I thought this was going to be about him hanging around the house in boxers. That’s bad enough. |
Outdoors, on your own property, but only if there is no chance neighbors are around (like, you live on top of a mountain a rural area or on a wooded 10-acre lot). Otherwise, never. |
Absolutely not!! |
Hard no from me. Growing up I had a friend whose dad always walked around in boxers and I avoided going to her house like the plague because it made me so uncomfortable. |
