Why don’t the men wear Speedo’s?

It's like the difference in Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman outfit in the female-directed WW film where she is far more covered up - and appropriately dressed for what she's doing - than in the other, male-directed, DC films she's in where she's in barely more than a bikini.

Who buys / decides what the players wear?
How available and affordable are the non skimpy versions?
Since ALL players must wear the same ,what happens if a player wants the non skimpy version?

Basically "choice" is being bandied around again.. but how much of a choice is there to be had in reality?

Just like there is unlimited choice for women's workwear. Some companies still demand heels or dresses/skirts.

Don't want to see budgy smugglers. 🤢😂

toupee tape.

The men should wear speedos. They will just have to find ways of containing bollocks in skimpy outfits in the same way women have to deal with avoiding boobs falling out and exposing nipples, labia appearing from tiny thongs etc.

I live in a very cold area and all of the 'fashionable' sweaters marketed to women have some major V neck feature where the chest area is at least partially exposed! It's frustratingly impractical.

I keep sticking with fleeces made by outdoor companies and the glamorous world of fashion can bite me. I do feel sorry for younger women and girls, however, because peer pressure can be a real pain when you're that age.

And don't get me started on pockets. My male family members always carry my s* around in their pants.

In office.though I used wear light dress and sandals while feel bad for the men in suit. But in sports women outfit defo to look sexy I think. Not sure why. Maybe because viewers most malem

Bollocks!

I think tight bottoms much more uncomfortable for men. Squeeze the package.

I recall reading about one sports (it could have been football) where a coach or someone higher up in the organisation wanted women to wear skimpy clothing so as to maximise male viewership. That is probably the real reason for the differences in what men and women wear in some sports.

It was Sepp Blatter, who at the time was president of the IFAF, so basically the head honcho for the whole of football worldwide.

Raving misogynist and as dishonest as the day is long (allegedly).

"here in France many municipal swimming pools don’t allow swimming shorts for hygiene reasons, so Speedo style trunks are a much more common sight, on all ages and body types."

Which has led to lots of complaints from Muslim men who are supposed to dress modestly (yes, the men too!).

A lot of men wear them for swim workouts.

My new lover does.

Met him at the pool in his solid black speedo.

OP

It's because we're worried the 's' might fall off.

should have said 'women can get a nice sun tan' also missed out question marks.

I think the women wear bikini style because it's practical. The tops act like good sports bras so they don't have to wear a sports bra and a top and the bottoms don't get in the way. Women's attire is far better than men's for Volleyball. The men should wear speedo's but I bet they think they're not cool. Isn't there a country where the men do wear speedo's

They can also get a nice sun tan. Superficial, yes, but if I was 20 with a body like there's I wouldn't want white marks everywhere.

Tightly fitted clothes that do not move relative to the skin are much better than anything that shifts

True. Cyclists wear lycra, male or female. Triathletes too. In fact, the men's triathlete costume seems to favour a longer leg, whereas the women have either longer leg or bikini bottom type, quite an even mix.
It probably is the male volleyball players who have got it wrong.

male ballet dancers wear extra padding to reduce "definition"

The womens swimwear changed fairly recently to the more ergonomic full length design. Some men were wearing them too. They have always had high necks because otherwise you scoop up half the pool and slow yourself down. The legs were a bit high too before.

Though here in France many municipal swimming pools don’t allow swimming shorts for hygiene reasons, so Speedo style trunks are a much more common sight, on all ages and body types.

I've just been googling olympic swimmers (for research purposes ).
Seems the men are much more exposed that the women - speedos or lycra shorts. The women are mostly covered from neck to thigh. Some have open backs.
I don't know. Mixed feelings about this. The women vollyball players have the choice it seems.

I can remember Linford “ Lunch box” Christie and the first time he appeared in his cat suit ( or whatever it’s called). I dare say some competitors are very comfortable showing their bodies given the amount of time they dedicate to training.
