Bikinis vs. Speedos
Another Thursday, another riveting topic gets star coverage from the Demystifying Divas and the Men's Club.This week we are tackling this deep question: Why are bikinis acceptable on women, but the male equivalent "The Speedo" is somehow or sometimes unacceptable on men? Isn't this a double standard?
Hmm. Well, I have to say that I believe a double-standard does exist. At least, it does to some extent. However, when we say that bikinis are acceptable on women, I think we need to say "some women". Not all women should be wearing bikinis. I'm not trying to be rude or callous to my own sex. I'm just saying, we aren't all Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models. I don't wear a bikini.
Speedos? Can I just say "Ick"? I don't like this look on any man. None. Zippo. Zilch. It isn't a good look for any example of the male form, in my opinion. It is an immediate turn-off for me, actually.
So, Gents, my advice is to steer well clear of the Speedo. And ladies? Bikini only if you must.
