A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I'd love to try, but my legs are hairy and I'd hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it's like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.

Would be nice to wear ball gowns all the time. Sadly it's not possible as a guy.

I don’t think anyone could get away with being that fancy all the time. We can dream!

It's pretty fucking rocking having "man" privileges overall. I'd say this one evens it out a bit. I'm work from home and usually am in just shorts and it's fucking awesome.

My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell

The only pants I really object to are jeans. They're hot and sticky in the summer and cold and stiff in the winter. Slacks are the way to go.

Just wish they made cargo slacks.

Don't feel too bad. Whatever the occasion it is acceptable to wear trousers. We can wear the same thing 50 times to 50 events and society won't care

Proper fitting ones are also very comfortable. While the range of men's clothing at supermarkets and bigger clothes stores is generally a lot less than women's clothes, specialised men's clothes shops and tailoring is much more common for men than women.

It just takes men a much longer time tomdoscover clothes that fit. Late 20's when I discovered it, and early 30's I have found what fits, and dye it to suit what colour I want!

I for one am sick of hearing about "women's winter" with this. You are wearing a tank top, a short skirt, and sandals Janet. I have to wear long pants, a long-sleeve collared shirt, socks, and closed-toe dress shoes. Stop complaining. At least you get to be comfortable outside.

I just started a new job last month and I can wear shorts for the first time in over fifteen years at work. It's a game changer.

I am honestly not a happy man if I can't walk around in board shorts with no shirt all day long.

Stop normalizing everything just do what you want it doesn't have to be normal. I like wearing track shorts, they're comfy.
