It figures I'd ask a question like this..... Its summer, why not?

A friend encourages you to stop by his house and say hello and you do so to find a pool party going. It looks great and he encourages you to join the party.
There are about 30 people who you mostly know
You have no swimming suit. "Birthday suits" are not an option.
..... and your friend solves the problem by showing up with choices:

1. A multicolored boxer

2. A pair of jean cut offs in your size

3. A squarecut swimming suit

4. A pair of board shorts

5. A speedo in a color you don't much like

6. A thong

What do you wear? Why?

I'd probably do the squarecut, especially if its in a great color. The speedo, if it is cut the right way.


**The issues with having an office in a country club..
I want OUT of this office right now and go swimming in the pool here! LOL

Square cut, for sure. Who cares what the colour is, they're hot.

I don't even know what a squarecut is that is how much I go swimming these days. Not a speedo bikini style, or thong (god forbid).

Board shorts or "squarecut".

I'm modest, so I'd go with a suitably well-fitted pair of board shorts. Unless everybody else was in skimpier swimwear. In that case, squarecut.

I'd have to say definitely the square cut. Speedo only if it's athletic (water polo) type. Thong is definitely out of the question.

Board shorts or square cut... I am very tall and feel/look funny in skimpy shorts.

I'd wear them all at the same time.

I'd do a quick visual assessment to make sure. I'd want to wear the squarecut but wouldn't want to be the only one. So if no one else is wearing it I'm grabbing the board shorts and hopefully they fit and don't hang to my fucking ankles. Speedo for me is not for swimming just laying out.

Board shorts

Strangely, I'm only body-conscious around people I know...

f___ 'em, I'd go nekkid

the thong, totally!

boardshorts for me!

The speedo is for laps. The shorts are for lounging. Do they have to be board shorts, though? I bought the cutest green trunks a few weeks ago and they're great.

my inclination is to the speedo, but i'd probably go with the square cut if i didnt like the speedo color.

Are all the guests guys like us? if so boxers....... if mixed well board shorts.

SHOW US, DON'T TEASE US!!!!

JBE60 saidI don't even know what a squarecut is

Example of Squarecut. (Because I care.)

I might make my decision based on which one fits best and looks o.k. I still look good in Speedos, so I'd do the Speedo if the color or pattern was not too bad. I have used boxers in a pinch sometimes - the guys I know wouldn't mind!

Prolly the square cut if it was hot....otherwise the speedo because that's all I really wear.

Ok I am becoming a hick...definitely the cutoffs. I think cutoffs are much more ocmfortable than most swimsuits...not to mention you can always ask for help to peel them off if need to be :-D

and that makes me happy!

Totally the square cut...knowing my friend would have a larger waist and I'd be the first person in history to complain about a speedo being too large.

I am going with the board short. I dont wear speedos but if I did I couldnt where someone else's. Thats like wearing someone else's underwear.

That looks like my swimming suit!

My SoCal roots would go for the Board Shorts!!!

Every man looks better in a different kind of suit
some guys look better in square cuts
some look better in speedos
but I don't think any guy looks good in a thong

Well since there are a plethora of options to choose from I'd have to go with the board shorts... I only wear a speedo if I'm exercising and I don't think the jeans would be comfortable/a good thing to go swimming in.. but that's just me. The thong. Well- I ain't wearin' a thong around one person, why would I around 30+? I've gone swimming in my boxers before but that really just ended up as skinny dipping.

I'd hang out but not swim.

board shorts.

i'd have trouble taking proper breaths while sucking in my tummy to look good in the squarecuts...

ditto for the speedo

though my dentist says floss daily i don't think he means my ass ... nix the thong

someone else's boxers? clingy to the junky when getting out of pool? ick...

jean cutoffs? only if they're serving PBR and i can try some of the muskrat kabobs...

actually, why wouldn't my friend offer me one of those awesome 1920's swim getups, that starts at my shins and buttons somewhere where my neck meets my chin? now THAT'S sexy....

I would likely pick board shorts, esp if everyone else were wearing square-cut or speedos. It hides things better. hehehe

Well at my current state the board Shorts ( mostly cause im a little self conscience ), but if it was in two or three weeks id go with the squarecut most def. mostly because i find them sexy, and if i can make my self look good in one i would of reached my summers goal.

jean cut offs because they can be funny and then it's a conversation piece, telling people that they are not yours.

I'd probably go with the board shorts. I got an ass, lol. I do love wearing squarecuts....when I plan on shaking my ass at a club, but a pool party...I'd probably go boardshorts

I would also lean toward the squarecut. It would depend upon what the others are wearing though. I'm self conscious enough that I wouldn't feel comfortable in a speedo. But if it's a party, I might change my mind

I personally don't care much for pecs and ass soup so I would thank him for the invite, have a beer hang out for a bit perhaps take my shirt off and then 30-40 minutes later excuse myself and leave...

Just because you went to Gilligan's island does not mean you HAVE to go native...

That's just me but what do I know, I hate pools, I hate parties, I hate people in groups of more than 10...

So there...

PS. IF I must wear something, it would be squarecut black or navy blue shorts.

I love to wear board shorts myself. At least I can fool people's eyes into believing I'm evenly proportioned from a distance with a pair on.

Wow, you work at a country club!? I've been to one but only as a server at some function with both a teacher and football player I had crushes on. It must be fun. Do you have HSM2 moments and get everyone singing and dancing to songs about friendship and good work ethic? Lol, just kidding, sorry couldn't resist. Though I'm sure it's fun. Someday I'll become a member of one and leave the first sign of boredom just to bring the regulars down a notch. I'm such a jerk sometimes.
