Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I've gotten a sort of reputation, both with friends, colleagues as well as some family. Suffice to say, I've been able to pull it off by simply not caring and at times putting myself out there without having any shame. It helps that I do compete fairly regularly in both swimming events but also triathlon. No one I know has 'lectured' me about wearing speedos - probably because they know they'll lose that debate in a public setting.

I think looking amazing in one also helps a lot. having the physique you have eliminates most of the tired excuses others would employ to object to your wearing a speedo.swimmerbud wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 2:33 pmI've gotten a sort of reputation, both with friends, colleagues as well as some family.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
Everyone I know has seen me in speedos multiple times. It's no big deal. It is after all, swimwear, and I have approximately 140 of them. Different styles and cuts for different occasions.
Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
Since I last posted in this thread my wife and I were at our athletic club pool, me in a speedo, after a hot day at an air show watching the Blue Angles etc. While we were there a family from my Taekwondo group also came to cool off at the pool at ter the air show. No comments were made about my suit and everyone just acted normal. Even their kids didn't comment. No big deal. The wife of the other couple was wearing a pretty skimpy bikini so she couldn't have said much about what I was wearing.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
BJE,
I completely understand where you are coming from. Here in Aussie speedos aren't frowned upon per see but in certain circumstances, among certain friends wouldn't be appropriate.
Your club sounds pretty nice - time time I'm headed to the states I'll have to ask you where it is.

I'm pretty sure I'm the biggest speedo enthusiast on the planet.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
My friends don't care that I wear speedos. I've gotten some to switch to them too.
Life is too short to worry what other people think.

Based on the photos you've shared, dude, you have absolutely nothing to worry about as is.SthOzGuy81 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 10:25 pmI wouldn't care if my gay friends saw me in one, but not my other friends or family.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
Saw this post and it made me think of swimming in Flathead Lake in Montana, decades ago on a trip back home to the east coast from Oregon. I was in my twenties. My sister was with me. I don't recall feeling at all self-conscious about scampering from my tent and diving off the end of the dock. I recall the water was really cold, but I was more hot blooded then. Maybe the seventies were more liberated than today. It's one of my better memories. I think I was wearing a blue and white nylon splice Speedo that lasted for years. White Stag owned the U.S. Speedo trademark then, and they were based in Portland, OR. There were a lot of guys in speedos at the University of Oregon pool. I had a nylon print suit in the Oregon green and yellow.BJE wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2017 4:51 pmI'd say that in my entire life I've not seen more than a handful of men wearing speedos other than lap swimmers and those occasions were while I was on vacation somewhere, not locally.
I'd guess that most of the people who see me in a speedo have never seen another man in a speedo in person ever.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I believe if they are supportive friends and family they should not care. I’m very lucky to have supportive friends and family. So I never censor what I feel like wearing, if its a speedo, thong, etc.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
Unfortunately my friends and family would take the piss out of me if they knew about my love for Speedos.
I don't even wear shorts around them just for that reason.

Love speedos, running shorts, rugby shorts, Aussie rules footy shorts.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I can understand why some guys think twice about this. But really, what sort of friends or family are going to give you agro for wearing speedos? Why live your life trying to fit in with your perceived ideas of what they might or might not find acceptable. If they are going to get upset or annoyed with you for wearing speedos at the pool then they're not the best of friends to have. True friends accept you as you are. As for family...

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I live in utah, there are too many who dislike the idea of a speedo, even if they are used in sports. My wife can barely tolerate me in one. But still I like my speedo

Good for you. Those around you need to get over their hang-ups and inhibitions.lamoni1719 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:55 pmI live in utah, there are too many who dislike the idea of a speedo, even if they are used in sports. My wife can barely tolerate me in one. But still I like my speedo

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
When I swam my laps one evening in Ogden last March I did not notice any resentment to my attire. As usual. I wonder why Salt Lake City would be any different. I'll find out next time I go through. Because I really enjoy trying a new pool everywhere I go, and of course I swim laps every night regardless where I am.
Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
That whole attitude makes me wonder how those types of people think of a competitive platform diver wearing a speedo. The speedos those guys wear are often way skimpier than the speedos most guys would wear to swim laps in at the local fitness center. It still boggles my mind why tiny speedos are acceptable only in athletic competition. It's like saying the only people who should be allowed to drive cars should be race car drivers.lamoni1719 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:55 pmI live in utah, there are too many who dislike the idea of a speedo, even if they are used in sports.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I am familiar a little with Ogden, have done some work there years ago. My understanding, from talking to the locals there, was that Ogden is much more unbuttoned than most of the rest of Utah.swimmy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 9:47 amWhen I swam my laps one evening in Ogden last March I did not notice any resentment to my attire.

Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
I have been swimming at my local gym for years in a speedo. So my friends naturally just always assume I wear them. Sometimes when I go to the beach I will wear them and they’re not totally surprised. They just asked me if I care about getting strange looks which I never do
Re: Friends seeing you in a speedo
Of course skimpy bikinis are acceptable on women almost anywhere. It's only men who are expected to be covered with baggy swim shorts. The fact is the typical speedo is just as modest or more modest on a man than a one piece suit is on a woman. Most bikinis are much skimpier than the average speedo.diveguy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 2:22 amThat whole attitude makes me wonder how those types of people think of a competitive platform diver wearing a speedo.

Speedo acceptance is not helped by the fact that most men think they are unacceptable and won't wear them. If more men would wear them they would become commonplace and accepted.
I think what society has the hardest time accepting is that men have penises and that it's okay to acknowledge that by wearing swimwear that does not conceal that fact.
