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

Boxers have a gap for urinating. Shorts do not.

You do know that our penises aren't 6 month old labs trying to get out of a barely open screen door, right?

some are attached to that mentality tho

My grandfather wore boxers in the house a lot and the older he got the more stuff "fell out" frequently. Put some clothes on.

I’d assume he expects me to notice. Which isn’t cool. Two layers over the dong, Sir.

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

Floated this scenario to my husband and he said he would assume the guy at Home Depot in his underwear was a crackhead.

Exactly. On drugs/mentally ill. Not normal AT ALL.

Well as a single woman who frequently goes to the hardware store, I certainly don't want to see your protruding peter.

You've never worn boxers, I'm guessing? I'm male and it is not appropriate to hang around the house in underwear including boxers if you have other people in the house. It's weird and dysfunctional and speaks more to a failure in your existence to think it's fine to wear boxers in front of other people.

90% of the disagreement in this thread is based on people assuming “boxer shorts” have some universal definition/look.

There are boxers with open flies that look like underwear. There are other boxers with full length inseams and either a closed or button fly, in solid colors or patterns, that look and function like cotton shorts.

The “appropriateness” of wearing them in different contexts varies wildly.

Everyone knows what underwear looks like in all of its forms. You don't wear them as "shorts."

^^No, it does not vary. Do not wear your underwear outside of your bedroom except briefly (no pun intended) if you need to grab something, etc. NEVER leave the house in your underwear. This is just part of having normal manners.

If you want to wear your underwear around, people will just assume you are a perv, low class, rude, clueless, etc. You decide how you want to be perceived, ultimately. If I came to your home and your DH was in his underwear, I would say, "oh, sorry, I will let you get dressed." If he would not, I would try to get out of there probably.

Are you my wife?

Depends on how hot he is.

It’s not like you can do anything about it, OP

^^My DH would assume you were mentally ill if he saw you in public in your underwear. He would probably just avoid you.

I am still reeling about the guy who wears his undies around the nanny.
