The only real need for a buffer seat is if the theater you go to only provides one armrest in between chairs, in which case it is understandable.[/quote]
The buffer seat is cool for sure, but for comfort, not because your friend is wearing ankle socks…

Woah wait, there are theaters that have more than one armrest between seats? I don’t think I’ve ever sat in a movie theater where you weren’t sharing an armrest with the person next to you.[/quote]
There’s one near where I live, though it costs about $3.00 more to go there.
Of course, that’s probably to support the fucking arcade that place has as opposed to offsetting the cost of the additional armrests.
Perhaps Buddha has the answer.

I think men in shorts with shoes and socks of any variety never looks great. Having given this a great deal of thought with respect to a boyfriend in the past, I cannot offer any alternative. Unless it’s just sandals with no socks but he thought that was gay. Just wear what you want and realise it won’t look good no matter what you do.
Nike Frees = no socks.

I wear ankle socks with my Frees when I’m wearing shorts.
(I actually do wear socks with my Frees though. Just more comfortable to me.)

Recently my GF bought me some ankle socks. I refused to wear them stating that I thought they looked a little gay (NTTIAWW That.)
Over the 4th I went with my future brother in law to see Indiana Jones… And he was wearing … Wait for it …
Yep, ankle socks.
Nope I didn’t open my big mouth but there was much discussion
in my house about how uncomfortable I felt during the movie and yeah I made sure there was an extra seat between us.
My GF says that because I am 57 I am a dinosaur and need to get with it in the year 2008 and get over being slightly homophobic.
So I lay it before you my T Nation Brothers and Sisters and I will carefully consider your replies: Do Real T Men Wera Ankle Socks?

What the fuck is wrong with ankle socks?
What is stupid are the people still wearing those long ass 1970’s knee socks while wearing shorts. Now THAT indicates a problem.[/quote]
That’s a great look. One cranked all the way up the the knee. The other bunched around the ankle because it has been stretched out.
Who here has calves so small that they can pull up two or three striper crankers?

I also own a pair and followed your advice at first. But the thing with no socks is the Nike Frees really start to smell after a little bit.
I tried odour spray but it does nothing. I guess putting them in the wash would help a little bit but not sure if that’s recommended.
So I tried “Fila” white ankle socks. The socks are very thin so I really don’t feel any difference in fit. Plus no more odour issues at all.
I googled “ankle socks” and there seem to be different lengths of “ankle socks”:
There are ankle socks that go maybe 3 inches above the ankle joint, and there are ankle socks that cut off right at the ankle joint.
Myself, I prefer to wear “crew” length socks (about 6 inches above the ankle, but below the fullest part of the calf). I would feel mentally uncomfortable wearing shorts with socks that cut off right at the ankles, but I don’t think I would care if another man were wearing them. If I saw a lot of conservative-looking men wearing shorts with socks cut off right at the ankles for a quarter century or so I might or might not eventually start wearing them myself.
Ankle socks, teeth brightening? What’s next? Briefs, boxers… Are we going to soon have people asking what a T-Man should wear to the Senior Prom?
Knee socks gay? Well come to think of it I do have a definate lesbian feel about myself when I’m sporting these bad boys.
To me, this seems kind of like the narrow-tie vs. wide-tie thing.
Ankle socks are analogous to narrow ties; knee socks are analogous to wide ties. Crew-length socks are analogous to medium-width ties – conservative, and never look “wrong” regardless of which of the two extremes is currently in fashion.

I wear ultra thin socks with my frees, otherwise they will start stinking.
I also wear ankle socks with my regular running shoes. I hope I’m not gay.
T-men do not seek permission or validation in minor matters.
I rock no shows, which are basiclly smaller ankle socks. I am definitely not gay.I also sometimes don’t even wear socks 'cause I just don’t feel like it. Another thing, I like this site but find it ridiculous that people refer to themselves as “t-men”. Why not just “a man”? Why add the extra letter and label your self with an absurd moniker? Go by some ankle socks.

Same here, I wear the Nike dry-fit socks, which are thinner. I really only wear the socks with my Frees as my feet get too sweaty otherwise.
It’s weird asking others what’s right for you. You should just wear what’s right for you. How’s that?
My opinion: I’ll wear ankle socks but I really dislike the below the knees shorts. In my day those were called Capris (spelling?) and they were worn by the ladies exclusively. My boys wear them now and I make fun of the them but they make fun of my shorts too. I tell them if I had skinny little thighs like them I’d cover them up too. Haha.

I wear socks with my nike frees. Sweat in shoes = stink, and once it’s in there, you ain’t getting it out.

Wow, this is the EXACT same phrase I had in mind.
This thread is OVER
This is fucking stupid. I wear ankle socks every day. Why the hell is such a trivial thing such as a pair of socks put to judgment? Are you that insecure?
And for fuck’s sake, can we drop the “T” thing already!
