Right, different landscape = different culture = different fashion. We’re in agreement.
Are you really going to pull the “history” thing here? Which is not even valid, because that’s the story of man’s beach fashion IN the US (and therefore cultural).
Read your original post. You asked about US beach fashion.
And if you must mention cultural sensibilities, just go to Rio anytime, you’ll see a bunch of hot guys in square leg speedos. I like it, and I hope it catches on. Just like you guys like to see a hot chick in tight clothes, I think speedos look much better than trunks.
I’d love to go to Rio. I tried to Google image search “hot chicks in tight clothes + Rio,” but with no luck. Can you show me an example of what you mean? Maybe from the last time you were in Rio?

I would certainly wear them, but nobody will go to the beach with me if I wear a speedo. The main reason is that I want to tan my quads, so when I’m tanning I’ll roll up my shorts. I don’t know if that looks any more gay, though I could care less. I think it is partly culture though, especially with all the fat-asses we have here in America. People might make fun of you behind your back, but if you’re over 200 pounds and in decent shape, I don’t think very many would say shit to your face. I say, wear whatever you want.
And to the OP, I say that if your man won’t wear a speedo for you, I surely will! How 'bout you dump his ass and lets roll down to the beach. I’ll take all kinds of pictures of your back side.
Lots of people wear speedos on the beaches I’ve visited in the Mediterrenean. I always thought of it as normal.

If you don’t understand, and from America, please don’t reproduce.
If you’re not from America, well then you’re shit out of luck.

That is EXACTLY the kind of bikini bottoms I was referring to: small, but not a thong. I’m afraid my butt is not that nice looking though, so now I’m too self-conscious to post pics of it!
And of course the hubby would wear whatever I want him to (eh, within limits, I guess), but I’m not that mean, lol. That’s why I wanted more opinions.
On a side note, this weekend while sunbathing I did what I had always done, untie the back of my top when I’m laying on my stomach. I had never done that here, and for some reason I felt really weird. Probably made worse by the fact that all the women I see by the pool wear the common american bottoms and I’m always in my BR ones. I don’t know, there were moms and kids by the pool and I felt out of place. I know it’s kinda silly though, am I overestimating America’s (or the Midwest’s) prudeness?
Funny thing, winter was fine for me to adapt to (seeing snow for the first time, the cold, etc), but summer makes me feel like I don’t belong. Go figure.

Summer is here and I love the pool (and desperatedly miss the ocean). The husband always wears swimming trunks and I wanna buy him a speedo but he says only old and clueless guys wear them.
To be honest I don’t know much about male beach fashion in the US (hence the post), and I do think if a guy is too skinny, fat, or old, I don’t wanna see his legs much less his package, but a speedo on a nice body is yummy. Not briefs, but square legs.
So boys (and girls) any thoughts on such a relevant topic?[/quote]
I would wear whatever you told me to wear if you were my wife.
how do you even end up in Kansas from Brazil?
im suprised you dont live in Everett or Miami.
On topic,i think we forgot about pic’s of the todd!

Your hair seems to have got quite a fright from the move, though. It’s much paler in your latest pics.

Well, you may not see the bikinis here but many women untie the back of their tops. As far as prudeness, it would only be other women. Young guys often try to get women who untie their tops to prop up and flash them. Older guys smile when it works.
i could wear a speedo in america, and people would think “Yeah thats the only guy I could see wearing a speedo”…But I’m legendary class so it just isn’t fair…

Well if you are worried about that, you could always pop down here to Mexico to do your sunbathing. My roof is quite a sun trap…

Lol I had no idea speedos were that hated here. Fine then, let him keep the silly tan line on his thighs.
Oh well. I can’t wear bikini bottoms bought here because they’re granny size, even the ones they call “minimal coverage”, I have to wear the ones I brought when I moved. I’m sorry, I don’t want a white butt with tan legs, looks just too weird.
I guess America is a few years behind on beach fashion…
I know, but it would help us all if we could at least get a better visual of what your swim suit looks like. Some of us poor Americans have never even seen large bodies of water…let alone what women’s swim suits look like.
I mean, some of us have never seen a woman, period.
Could you help us out?

Aren’t you from Texas? Doesn’t that state touch like, an ocean or something?

I’m just reminded of my own plight. Do you know I’ve never been on a naturally occurring body of water? I’m only peripherally aware that women wear special clothes to swim.
Of course, the OP’s description is nothing but greek to me without pictures.

I wonder the same thing. Kansas must be quite a culture shock for you.
If my wife asked me to wear a regular Speedo, I wouldn’t do it. If she asked me to wear the square cut kind I would, but, under regular trunks. When their weren’t too many people around I’d shed the trunks for her.

Well I never planned to get here, I never even planned on coming to the US until less than two years ago. But then I met this person, and long distance hurts. So in November I packed my stuff in two bags and moved. Ok what happened between meeting him and boarding the plane wasn’t so simple but it’s a long story. Coming here was the craziest and best decision I’ve ever made.
Yea it kinda was… I wouldn’t say a shock, because I knew most of what to expect. I had lived in the country side of Brasil in a small town and also in Sao Paulo, which is a huge city, I must say KC was actually way better than I expected, a nice in-between those two things. I was afraid of winter but it didn’t suck nearly as much as I imagined.
Some cultural things are more evident than I thought they’d be (the Bible Belt bugs me), beans taste horrible here, twizzlers make me wanna puke, and drink refils is a funny concept. I love the absence of traffic jams and rush hour, the bunnies living right by my building, and how snow is so incredibly pretty.
But summer definitely makes me overthink some things, like what I wear (I think I’m too laid back/beach style), whether speedos are silly or not, whether to untie my top or not, how freaking weird it is that it’s still day at 9pm. Oh and like Mattlebee noticed, I’ve bleached my hair blonde last month… which Ive always wanted to try but now I kinda regret because it makes me look less Brazilian.
/sorry for the long post.
