Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

It's disgusting, have they no shame?

Hard agree. My daughters 14 and is simply not allowed to wear these shorts knickers outside of the house. I don’t even care if that sounds like I’m from the Victorian age. I am 37 years old. I saw one of her peers in Aldi and yes my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I mean I have eyes. I can’t not see! 👀.

You're quite right.

WHO'S WITH ME??

I was raised that there is a time and a place for everything, and walking up and down the street in public is not the place. Reminds me of what my grandpa used to say "if you don't have nothing to sell, don't advertise." To me young women showing all their ass, crotches, camel toes, nipples, etc is advertising. Certainly women can wear what they want but do all choices indicate good common sense? I always made choices for attire on being sexy but sophisticated -- something I would be okay with my higher ups seeing me in. I refuse to walk around looking like I shop at Hookers dot Com or their Catalog.

Young women have been wearing shorty shorts and mini skirts for decades, it doesn't bother me (I used to wear them too).

BUT I do know the kind op is talking about, and they are hideous. They aren't just a bit short, they display areas of underwear that really aren't for public viewing.

Exactly this, some of the descriptions on various threads of some bumbling husband because he's wearing something off, or some bloke that was spied wearing this or that and its all 'hes repulsive/disgusting/grim' with lots of vomit emojis etc etc

But little Sarah whose 18 and off to Uni and slim and pretty 'oh, women shouldnt be questioned and judged on what she's wearing' and big Sarah who is overweight and spilling out of her outfit has 'body confidence'

Neither of them are grim apparently.

@PintofFizzbecause I don’t agree with @DancingLions? Younger women are more body positive & confident today imo which I think is a good thing. I had way too much angst about barely noticeable cellulite in the 90s

Your private parts are private.

Yes, and obviously the disagreement here is what constitutes a private part.

Bums and cleavage are obviously a grey area.

No one is claiming you can blink your way out of reality. It’s about not turning ‘I saw/see it’ into ‘therefore reality should be adjusted around my preferences’.

My bum cheeks hang out of BIG shorts 😞

Yes, that's on a beach. As I said in my earlier post, this is in busy city streets and I don't kind G strings on beaches. I do try not to be judgemental on clothes and I never cared about those scrunch bum leggings (they're hideous but so what) but something about fully naked arse cheeks out in a normal city street, around shops and cafes where you don't expect beachwear, feels different... and really does look horrid, whatever the physique. It just doesn't belong there and it just isn't an attractive style.

Martin Goodman has entered the conversation.

They dont have 'confidence' they have a lack of self awareness and no boundaries

Your private parts are private. People comparing your bum to an arm or leg are jokers and ridiculous

Tbf I see lots of females wearing these shorts with less than perfect proportions & skin.

We're not talking about the beach. We're talking about in Lidl.

Do you mean these. Then I agree these are a bit much to be wearing round aldi 🤣🤣

It was me who pointed out that cyclists stop in cafes so I do know that.

The comparison was between school mums in lycra out and about and men in lycra out and about.

Both stop in cafes.

I could definitely do without seeing the cyclists nobs in sweaty lycra whilst I'm having a coffee.

Am I the only one that thinks many pairs of shorts sold now (denim shorts generally) often look a normal length but ride up the arse. I always have to take videos from behind of me walking to check. Granted I have a big bum and small waist so maybe I need to just buy shorts that drown my waist to get the size around the bum area

I agree it’s hideous. I also think thong bikinis are too much!
It’s all for the male gaze. I think most girls wearing these tiny shorts don’t realise the powers that be and the control the manosphere really has still. The kardashians have a lot to answer for- they’ve been nothing but negative for women imo. I hate this aspect of pop culture.
I also think a lot of those vintage / retro photos that have been posted - the shorts are still longer than what I see today. The hot pants have a straighter cut- today’s hot pant shorts are often cut on the diagonal so the edge of the short (on the other thigh if you like) is much higher than the gusset of the short. Retro hot pants were a straighter cut across from gusset to outer leg. The reason the cut of today’s shorts is different is to highlight the waist shape and bottom shape - favoured because it gives a slimmer silhouette even on a curvier body which is what today’s consumers’ (of that age group 15-35) seek in garment cuts. That curvy yet slim body shape is what the Kardashian’s have peddled.

God this is such a stupid thing to say.

Its so so tiresome that people have read this trite response, then repeat it as though its some of clever gotcha. When, in fact it is just a bit thick.

We have eyes, we are constantly assessing our surroundings. You will see arse cheeks whether you like it or not. You may avert your gaze once the bare arse has come into your field of vision. But you cannot walk around or drive around with your eyes shut.

Are there just a lot of bots about or do real people actually not understand how eyes work?

Daft.

Just me remembers "hot pants" then?
