Do you prefer boxers or briefs? Girls, too.

Boxers just remind me of creepy bathing suits , like something that was supposed to be for a ten year old boy and went wrong so it fits a adult. Oooh and I hate all those ridiculous cartoons and things on them. I mean, I got rid of my wonder women underwear years ago.

As far as briefs they give me nightmares of seeing my brother walking around in the morning...*shivers*

Boxer briefs are the only thing that looks like a reasonable, functional and incredibly sexy undergarment for men. Atleast in my opinion anyway

one peice of advice....
stay away from thongs guys, trust me on this one, it is worse then walking around wearing nothing but your socks.

At the risk of generalizing - I've known very few guys who regularly wear boxers, but those who do, in my experience, have all been total jerks. My husband wears briefs because, in his words (or were those Cosmo Kramer's words?), "My boys gotta have a house."

As for looking, I usually don't look intentionally, but sometimes it's just really obvious - especially if he's wearing no underwear at all. Guys, know this: We can tell.

I was at a concert a few months ago, innocently enjoying the music, such subjects far from my mind - when suddenly I glimpsed that the singer appeared to be wearing nothing under his rather loose, thin pants. Just then he happened to turn around and bend over, showing a definite lack of panty lines and confirming my suspicion.

I turned to my friend and said, "I'm going to hell for noticing this - but Mike's not wearing any underwear." She glanced toward him and then burst out laughing: "Oh my god, now I am going to hell too!" Here's a great guy, a musician we know personally, admire and respect to no end (at least Lis will know who I mean), and we were completely distracted by this little personal fact about him for the rest of the show. And of course we had to point it out to our other friends, too.

It's been a running joke ever since - the next day at lunch, another friend spotted Mike's Hard Lemonade on the menu, prompting her to observe, "Mike's Hard...hmm, he wasn't last night! Thanks a lot, Katrin!"

absence of underwear is occasionally very appealing.

silk isn't too shabby, either.

i don't look, specifically, to determine the type of underwear. i'd also say that you really shouldn't be able to tell from the outerwear what the underwear is. if you can tell from 100 paces that wonderstud is wearing really tight underwear, then he's just lost out on several fashion fronts.

And have you seen those new boxers that are like, "So ugly she'll beg you to take them off?" They're so ugly I'd break-up with you. Man.

I can only tell if they're wearing pants large enough that the top of the boxers are peeking out, which I like.

The boxer/briefs can be okay, but no on the briefs alone. I feel like we're seven.

if you're young and trying to be hip, on the other hand, you go for the jeans that will negate the voice change you just suffered thru.

um, pamie... dance belt? i feel so sheltered. whassit?

Basically it's a thong for men. I accidentally found Eric's once going through some socks. I screamed and threw it to the ground, thinking I had just found ugly flesh-colored women's underwear hiding in his socks.

Speaking of which, I'll pass on this bit of advice that I learned today:
baby powder-dusted genitals + black shorts + 3 cups of coffee = bad idea!

With boxers everything is wiggling around. Not good with dressy slacks. I don't want to be able to tell how happy Professor Smith is to see me!!! (AND IT IS WAYYYY OBVIOUS WHEN WEARING BOXERS!!)

this will automatically happen to you if you're wearing not too clean tighty whities, as the laws of physics say the pants must slide down to show both icky underwear and butt crack.

Bad Things include: ugly patterns, sayings (special dispensation for subtle designer vanity signatures on band), cartoons, beer adverts or beer advert characters, religious art (look, Jesus is saying 'hello'!), foreign lipstick prints, muppets, holiday themes, bells, pockets, glow-in-the-dark surprises, frills, putrid aromas, plaid ribbons, tears or rips, zippers, velcro, dry cleaner tags safety pinned to the back, after-market holes or garter straps.

When confronted with a choice between Extremely Creative Underwear (i.e., Underwear With One or More Bad Things) and anything else, anything else wins hands down.

I'm with Pamie--Uglies--"so ugly she'll beg you to take them off"--would be a deal breaker.

Exboyfriend / male friend poll shows a predominace towards the good ol' tighty whitey, though one ex would probably wear tighty blackies (to match the rest of his wardrobe) if he could find them.

Two male roommates wore a variety of underthings to go with whatever pair of pants they would be wearing that day, which seemed sensible to me as I do the same thing and which fact I knew only because as we all shared a washer.

Bad, evil, wannabe-boyfriend wore boxers. Not that I wanted to know that. He thought they were hot. Perhaps this has shaped my perception of boxers negatively.

Another of my male roommates went sky-clad. Which I didn't want to know, but he felt compelled to share this data anyway.

Now, I wear draw's to sleep/work-out/hang out in my dorm in, and a guy friend and I have argued on occasion about the hiney pouch. A couple of pairs of my gap draw's have a pouch on the hiney, and two rear seams, preventative measures for wedgies. As I am not a big fan of the wedgie (no thong for me!!) I really appreciate the hiney pouch, but said friend things they are retarded, ridiculous, and unwearable. He's a knit boxer boy, and I don't blame him, those things are so soft and I've got to get me some!!! Mine are generally the woven kind that come from teh GAP with lots of random prints, like bugs and cars and stuff.

If a man wears boxers around me it is a fact that he would be putting himself in danger of being pounced from across the room.

As for myself: I like to sleep in boxers. But I'm with Sisqo: give me that thong, tha-thong thong thong!

Boxers or none. simple, that is it. Boxer briefs are semi-acceptable if you are involved in a sporting activity requiring "placement"

Work or Rest? boxers or none. Never Y-Fronts. Never EVER EVER. And none of those "bananna hammocks" you see in magazines like GQ. nope, no way. not ever.

When out on a motorcycle ride, I will wear compression shorts. (bicycle pants) under my leathers to keep everything in it's rightful place. You cannot imagine the pain of an artfully executed 3 gear 4 block wheelie, then slamming the front of the bike down and mashing your bits and pieces into the gas tank at 95 mph. Bicycle shorts fix this. You know where you are at all times.

BUT, at home, at work, at a club, Boxers or none.

I do somewhat disagree about the "no cutesy print" on the boxers, as most of mine are cow spotted. (intentionally, from the factory)

Silk is okay, but not in this heat. Flannel, amazingly, is GOOD STUFF.

No briefs, not ever. if they are white, they say "my mommie still buys my undies, I am a widdle boy on the inside, and I am not able to commit fully to you"

If they are multi colored and bikini, they say one of two things:

A) I DO look good in these, "my boyfriend buys them for me, and he does not like to share"

or

B) I do not look good in these, I am a loser, I think I am cool, "wanna see my Corvette? How about my Etchings"

you're right. i cannot imagine that kind of pain. nor do i really want to try. ow.

as for the white briefs, it doesn't just say "mommie still buys my undies", it proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt. case in point: my ex-husband. drawers full of tighty whities and white tube socks, which his mother faithfully replenished every birthday/xmas/random holiday/for no reason. i finally put my foot down (so to speak), and announced to him that if he was truly incapable of buying his own undergarments, that it was no longer his mother's job, but mine, and if he didn't say something to her about it, i would. i did. needless to say, i also gave the job back.

(edited because not only can i not close my own tags, i'm real good at deleting others...)

Man, I don't get that at all. Just walking around requires palcement! Boxer briefs are definitely my choice. I wore boxers for years, and was perfectly content in that little world, but then I had the boxer rebellion. I just got tired of having no structure in my life. Have you ever seen an olympic diver? They have a platform to dive from. That's what I need... A platform. It is very similar to girls and bras I think. With boxers, you might as well go commando because they are not going to hold up the ponies at all, and just hanging out all flippy-floppy is dangerous to say the least.

And what's up with the names here fellas? "Big Johnson", "The Professor", etc.
