I was in grad school with a german woman and she spoke about how the US is so wierd about men wearing speedos and how its more normal. I replied that did the speedos look good on all the guys that wear them. She looked down and a bit and said no.

It's more normal to wear speedos in the US than in Germany? Really?

Also IMO, boxerbrief-style underpants are generally superior in both aesthetics and function, and that includes swimming trunks.

I guess I phrased that wrong. men in the us were wierd about wearing speedos so did not wear them. like wearing them was wierd wereas in europe wearing them was normal.

Oh, I thought you meant she was telling you that you looked bad in a speedo like, "Damn frauline, that was pretty brutal."

Oh, that's true for a lot of Americans both men and women (but not all).
