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.

Absolutely not!!

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.

I thought this was going to be about him hanging around the house in boxers. That’s bad enough.

Exactly. This is the argument—they’re just shorts. They cover as much as most casual shorts with a shorter-side inseam.

How do you know they are boxers?

Just boxers, nothing underneath? Um, no, just no.

Man here. The ohter guys are teh hardware store won't care a lick about it.

Do you mean wearing underwear? Then no, not acceptable.

Or are you saying casual shorts? Then it’s fine.

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?

Absolutely never acceptable. That’s wild.

Hard no.

I don't think it's acceptable at all.

Zero percent acceptable.

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.)
