if they're Underroos.

But here is my take on this, and I'll try to make it brief (ha! I'm so juvenile).

When I was a kid, my mom stuck me and my brother in the standard, JC Penney, white brief (not the SAME one, obviously). When I would see my dad walk around in his boxers, I considered them "old man" underwear. I used to think to myself "there is no way that I am going to get so old that I start to wear old man underwear!" I lumped boxer shorts in with having to go to work, paying bills, and shaving. The Who sang "hope I die before I get old." To me, it would have been, "hope I die before I get so old, I start to wear boxers!"

Then as I got older and started buying my own underwear, I naturally kept buying briefs because that was all I knew. When I met my wife, I found she has the same experiences as many of the women on the thread; she has really only dated guys who wore boxers, but didn't really care either way. She started buying me boxers as gifts, and now my underwear drawer is a pretty even mix of briefs and boxers with a few pair of boxer-briefs mixed in (and one lime-green thong... way in the back... under the streched-out "emergency" underwear).

So I can think of two reasons for all this:

1) I really AM getting old.

2) Maybe it is just some generational thing. I'm 37 and all the guys in my high school and on into college wore briefs. Very few guys living in my dorm wore boxers. My wife is 6 years younger than me and says that all the guys in her high school wore boxers. (...hmmm...I wonder how she knew ALL the guys wore boxers?). So maybe I was just on the cusp of a societal underwear revolution.

I can liken this to the ongoing thong panty crossover going on right now. Last year, there was a thread started on squishy regarding the wearing of thongs. So there is a revolution going on in the world of woman's underthings.

In ten years there may be a discussion on the Internet (or whatever) discussing how "childish" full panties look on women, and how you can only look grown-up if you are wearing a thong. And some crazed woman calling herself "Full-fanny Panty Woman" will post talking about how her boyfriend bought her a thong panty but she refused to wear it and only wants to wear her big granny bloomers because they are so much more comfortable. Then it turns out that her boyfriend threw out all her big underwear, she got mad, but then showed up at his house carrying a dozen roses and wearing only her large full size panties. Now he's not talking to her, and .... oh... I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

I doubt that you girlfriend would be one of us (especially me *shudder*) in disguise, unless you told her about this thread.

Hmmm... CAN females be knighted?

Edited because... oh... just because.

Boxer-briefs, never understood them, probably never will. Their sizes are way weird, and since trying them on is generally frowned upon, the pairs that I've bought just don't work. Maybe it's because I've got huge thighs ... can any give me advice on sizing?

Briefs are okay, as long as they're not dirty or falling apart. I guess that holds true for all underwear. Briefs just seem most likely to be in that state for some reason.

Those bikini brief things are just silly. When I see the brightly colored animal print ones in stores, I just can't stop giggling. I can't imagine what that kind of reaction would do to a guy in the type of situation where he'd show his man panties to a partner. Ouch.

In re wrapping the package: Wear no underwear emblazoned with boastful or otherwise humorous exhortations.

Like, say, HOME OF THE WHOPPER.

Even if it is.

Which it isn't, most likely . . .

Likewise, never wear briefs when sex is in the offing.
