I guess I have to say I don't really know what it means. Does it mean: You would get tossed off if you wore them at a beach or pool,or that you would be apt to be the only one in speedos and might get bullied or that there might be a few out of the majority wearing them or that the vast majority are: Here in Vermont we have few pools (indoor) and not huge beaches.Virtually all pool swimmers are serious in their workouts usually following a schedule of workout swimming. Only one high school in the state has a pool and there is no competition on that level. None of the colleges have decent sized pools except Middlebury. In other words a young guy is probably not going to even have an idea of what swimware to use because he doesn't need one. May girls,however, are swimming in pools. I guess many males do not consider it to be a "manly" enough sport which is stupid. All girls that I swim with wear fairly abbreviated suits which is great. I sail on Lake Champlain(on 1/2 mile from my home) I wear cargo shorts and tevas and usually a biking long sleeved jersey-back pockets are handy for tools etc. I do have to be carefull of the sun. Also my ass tends to sweat and I wear the cargos commando to help keep it cool. Great site to see Canadians boating sometimes in the buff and if suited both mean and women are in very brief wear. I work at the marina and must say that it seems somewhat out of place if a customer (M ot F) comes assure to walk to the store etc. in very brief attire. (long winded eh)
