Yeah,why should clothes matter?

Why not?

Sure, as long as their not going from Florida to Indiana in Feb. LOL

No. It is a mistake for men to wear shorts on airplanes. Why? Let me tell you why. Reason #1 - After ascending to cruising altitude, the air becomes dry. Now, the testiclates are the most sensitive parts of our bodies. When the dry air reaches and circulates around said testiclites, this affects the skin in a negative way. The skin becomes chapped with dryness, which becomes a condition known as "chapsticles" or chapped-testiclatoids. It is not easy to explain to your family why you have to go to the bathroom to apply chapstick. It just isn't right. Reason #2 - Have you ever had dandruff? Well, earlier I mentioned the dryness of the air circulating into the shorts and testicletes. Once it becomes dry in there, the publical hair developes dandruff from all the dryness. In case you haven't checked, grocery stores do not sell "Cock and Balls" dandruff shampoo. It takes about a week of applying Vasoline Intensive Care lotion to overcome this intensive dryness concerning the ballular area. Pubical dandruff has been known to ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes while wearing shorts. However, shorts do come in convenient while trying to maneuver yourself into the bathroom when the typical female flight attendant wants to join the mile high club with you. Shorts just give off that vibe of "I like to have sex in airplane bathrooms". This is very difficult to accomplish while using normal sized long pants. Airplane bathrooms are small so the smaller size of shorts just provide you with enough acrobatic flexibility to maneuver into the bathroom and into the flight attendant. Hope this little guide helps.

unless there is something that I don't know outside of coach class, it's too cold so I'm in layers. It might be germaphobic but I wouldn't expose that much of my skin to that seat. Airports are such a public space but I shouldn't talk, I polluted them w/ lots of cigarette smoke & butts before the ban.

Sure, well, maybe not a speedo

well, in preference to no clothing................ but seriously, why not?

Well, its their wish. I don't see any wrong in doing that.

It doesn't matter what clothes they wear as long as it's not offensive to those on the plane.

As long as they are not short boxer style with no underwear underneath.

Sure....I have.

Men should never wear shorts.

As long as they don't look like this. http://www.ebcak.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bum_shorts.jpg

No short pants and no flip-flops.

London - Malaga flights won't let you board unless you've got shorts on and a beach towel at hand.

I think it is important to dress comfortably for long flights, and if that means wearing shorts, then OK.
