To make sure the chick ain't no gold digger, I like to turn up for a date in a totally ripped tshirt that's covered in dirt, same with my pants. I make sure to spread some dirt on my face to give it an army soldier in the jungle look. That way the chick will have to just like me for me & not my money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats56 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Nothing wrong with cargo or short pants. Your in a tropical climate and who.wants.long pants unless.it's for a dress up occasion. I don't have skinny white legs. Well tanned and good calves and thighs. The worst is very white skinny legs with socks and sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, both here and back in the UK, I always wore denims on my dates, because that has always been my style. I never owned a suit except for stage gear. I even wore denims to my parents funerals, that's my style, so that's it. But Thai girls in general do not like guys wearing shorts, but there is always the one who doesn't mind as in your case.

I make fun of dudes I see with thin chicken legs in shorts when I see them, especially the dudes who have arms bigger than their legs. Calf muscles are for a large part genetics.. You can train them of course.. but it wont add as much mass as many other muscle groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is a lot peeps train their arms 10 times more than their legs or skip leg day all together, then they complain how difficult it it to have any calf muscles. If they spent as much time on their legs as they do on their arms, they would have decent muscles in their legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of success "trying" is what brought many to Thailand in the first place. Their failure in that regard had little to do with cargo pants.

There seems to be a little confusion as to whether the evolution being discussed is to do with the pants or the wearer. Pretty sure Darwin only dealt with the evolution of things with a pulse, although he probably would be pleased to see the strides we've made in clothing.

But you got plenty who do train legs and still calves are not big. Wish i had those of my dad.. 70 y/o but would put most people in the gym to shame (calves only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucegoniners Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 What the hell is wrong with cargo shorts? I live in them. No, I don't wear them to fancy events, but I don't go to many of those anymore. They suit my purposes fine. Want to call them ugly? Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 As a long time member of the cargo cult I endorse cargo shorts. Google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I've got a several pairs of cargo shorts and cargo trousers. Great for travel, carrying all the clutter without a bag of some sort; and especially useful when the kids are there. House keys, car keys, cream for skin problem, wallet, various plastic cards, iPhone, possibly iPad too, sunglasses, pocket knife, wipes, change - we all carry much more around nowadays than we used to. Stuffing everything into four bulging normal trouser pockets looks crap, is uncomfortable and isn't safe. Carrying wallets in back trouser pockets, or stuffing iPhone / mobile there is asking for trouble from thieves. Carrying a shoulder bag loosely is dangerous too. As for fashion - they look fine. Only please, no socks, pulled up over ankles with sandals and shorts! And pick a top that actually matches. Wore my combats yesterday when out with the daughter for the day. Everything safe and comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 The best shorts are the ones I hade made in Sattahip a few years ago and still wear them. Same thing with the trousers. Made at a tailors that caters for the navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Ones I have are Union Bay. Thin cotton vs. the heavier material, so the pockets don't bulge out and sag/hang down even when empty + the Mrs. irons everything, that helps a lot. I don't use those thigh tie down leads, knot them up out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, brought a bunch over with me from last shopping trip to San Diego. If anyone ever gets down that way, look up "GTM". http://www.gtmstores.com/ One of those consolidators that collect odd sizes and end of season, unsold surplus from the large Dept stores. Think they have online access as well, but I've never looked at it or compared to in person/on the rack prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfarang Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 They look exactly what they are; cheap and nasty, even if expensive to buy. I would not recommend wearing them for those who like to be seen as professionals in a credible light. They will make you appear as someone down on their luck, living on a basic income who hasn`t quite made it in life. (A bit of a loser). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these big muscled guys that 'train' every day make me laugh, what are they actually 'training' for? I walk and swim a bit keeps me fit enough, don't need to 'train' as I'm not about to enter any sporting competitions at my age. When they finally give up the 'training' the flab just hangs off where the muscles used to be. Back on topic yes I wear cargo shorts and be damned, just knee length and in decent material if I can find them not the usual horror materials they try to sell you on every market stall. All I ask is a zip pocket for my cash that doesn't look likes it's been stitched on as an afterthought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
